This is an amazing nursery school. In the 6 months my daughter has been enrolled her motor skills, speech, creativity and independence have developed rapidly. After only a couple of months she went from not being able to put a puzzle together to being able do a 36pc puzzle with no help. The school cares about the children and helping them succeed. The teachers are amazing and the children love being there. This school is a great way to prepare your child for kindergarten especially since it will be full days soon. I highly recommend this school.Read more
