it's funny that most negative reviews come from those with 2 years of experience or less at this school. Could it be that they are using this school as a means of day care due to the fact that they accept kids at age three and the classes are from 8-3. The pre-k at public schools are only 1/2 days

I admit the school lacks appropriate state funding to compete with the public schools, but to bad mouth this school with the quality of teachers i've seen over the past 3 years is distasteful. I have 2 kids attending this school and their teachers are awesome. Read less

This is my second year. Last year, there were lots of issues with the air conditioning.

I've had two of my children in this school for at least two years. I have seen little or no progress on the academic, arts or sports programs.
