I just started my child at this brand new school. So far he’s having a great time. Due to covid 19, the school implemented new procedures to meet higher restrictions which made me feel safer for having him there. The school also offers so much as far as academic and extra curriculums. The director and staff there really care about their kids. I also enjoyed seeing the make believe Blvd. It’s very different than other childcare centers. Highly recommend it!
