School Reviews

I am disappointed in the way children are forced to go outside on a very cold and rainy day. There should be options for the children to stay inside in bad weather. During the cold and flu season, it is not beneficial for the very young to be outside. Some do not have proper coats or hats, and even if they do, the youngest ones can't zip up their coats, or forget to take them along. They are not helped putting on their coats and are not allowed to go back into the school if forgotten.
