I really love this school for my son. Academically, going into Kindergarten he was well behind his peers . He has grown so much throughout the year with the help of Mrs.Padgett & Mrs.Minton. Literal earth angels!! I was honestly so discouraged about the possibility of him being able to catch up, but when I tell you they have worked TIRELESSLY with my baby & never gave up on him or allowed him to feel discouraged and that means the world to me as a mom. They have gone above and beyond to build him up.
