This is the first school to show love to my son and help him get were he needs to go unlike every other school. They care about their education and their wellbeing and protects my child as if it was their child
Mateo's Mother
Toddler Classroom
We like how our concerns regarding care for our son are taken seriously. We feel listened to
Elio's Father
Infant Classroom
Best school ever! Teachers are caring, supportive and educated! Friendly atmosphere, and warm environment. Our kids had a select Mutism, and teachers were very corporative with the therapist and us, which made our son flourish, and selective mutism no longer an issue. So delighted we signed up! Yulia
John's Mother
Pre-K Classroom
Several top reasons: The hours are family friendly. The staff/teachers are all welcoming and caring. There is a lot of intentionality about helping kids to learn and grow, even at the earliest of ages. The kids and staff are diverse. And the staff/teachers are very open to discussing and supporting specific requests of parents, whenever feasible.
