Highly recommend. My daughter loves school. They are so attentive. I really am a hard critic when it comes to these things and they have made post-COVID going back to school so easy and exciting for my daughter. I had considered homeschooling before but I could never remove my daughter from such a thriving environment. I really wanted to make sure to leave a review so they know how much the parents really appreciate them. Thank you Miller for what you do for our children.
