My child started in Kinder and is now in fourth grade. The teachers have all been so caring and attentive to the needs of my child. There are two teachers in the classroom, and my child loves the curriculum at Archway Scottsdale. He literally lights up and tells us over dinner what he is learning about. It has been such a great experience for my son and our whole family!
