Reviews
This is an excellent place to bring your young child. They have wonderful facilities, including two large playrooms (one designed for babies and toddlers and another for preschoolers) and a HUGE playground for the preschoolers along with a small one for the babies. Every part of the building looks new. The classrooms are spacious and inviting although the number of kids in each class (besides pre-k) is kept low. They are NAEYC-accredited and a Keystone Stars 4 school! More importantly to me is how nurturing they have been to my child. Every staff member seems to know my child by name (he only attended for 6 months) and greets him warmly and with care. My child used to be so shy and withdrawn, but he has really blossomed here and loved his teacher. They seem to really appreciate their staff, and this is reflected in their positive attitudes. And for all of this, their rates are incredibly reasonable. I took him out for the summer, but I can't wait to bring him back!
