Our daughter attended kindergarten here and it was a wonderful school. The staff truely cares and spends as much time as need to help the students learn. The office staff and the principle were great to deal with and always very helpful.By the end of the year our daughter could read short books and learned to sound out words that I could not have read at that age. Her math skill still bow us away. Terriffic school!!!
