This school is incredible. The administration, faculty, and staff are all so friendly and fun-loving. They really make the kids feel welcome and excited to go to school. They are both silly and fun, dressing up for holidays and making every day a great experience. My kindergartner has some separation anxiety but every day before school, the assistant principal is outside to greet the kids and help them make the transition into the day. Fridays, they have a crew of older kids who make positive message posters and high five, dance, and cheer on all the kids as they come into school in the morning. It’s just an overall wonderful experience. The kids AND the staff seem genuinely excited to be there every day and that makes a world of difference when setting the tone for each kid’s relationship with school and learning. They take a very hands on approach in determining each child’s learning level and placing them in classes and groups accordingly. This means the teachers and the kids are better set up for success.
