This school seems great on the outside. However on the inside, the material the children are learning are not up to date. The director has had many complaints by parents and staff. She does not know how to talk to people. She has many sides of her and will only be nice to you to show a facade to new and old parents. She is old and her methods are too traditional and outdated. She takes offense to everything and anything especially if it's a remark made by parents or staff. In the past, she has fired the entire staff with the exception of a few teachers due to her own personal reasons and not due the effectiveness of those teachers. Those teachers were amazing, caring and the parents were shocked to see them go so quickly and all at once. She holds a personal vendetta against anyone who disagrees with her. If you can send your child to a different school, I suggest you do so. If not, good luck.
Focuses on Learning Through Play with both teacher and child initiated activities, music and movement, art, pre-writing skills, language, math, science, and a private outdoor yard. After School Program for 4-5 year olds available. Sibling discount as well.
THIS is making great efforts to update its curriculum, staff, website, facilities etc. Our children were very happy there and we're excited to see positive changes. Great program for preschoolers - especially those entering organized school for the first time.
