My duaghter just started kindergarten and I am so impressed with Ms Goot! She's incredibly patient, kind and an exceptional educator.

Although this is not an arts school, kids get dance and art time every week. School starts at 7:50 and timeliness is strongly enforced.

Every child (including kinders) is known well by the principal and at least three teachers who are not their own teacher!
