I love this school ! I went here as well as a child! They put learning first and never stop at the grade level range for reading/writing lessons. My son says everyday he had a good day and his teacher Ms. Craig is AWESOME!

Love this school! My son's teachers have been wonderful and they do whatever it takes to help children.

No one at this school actually wants to work. Front office staff avoids as much work as possible, and pre-k teachers are basically babysitters. They don't care about the children's education, they just want a paycheck.
