Amazing school and faculty, they helped my child get acclemented to a new school in the middle of the year as we are a military family and move around a lot.

Many children are cooped up in homes all day and at school, they don't know what to do when they do have the chance to play. Children need to play. The faculty could be nicer to the parents too.
