I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Awful. The students are poorly monitored and the teachers have no classroom management skills. Everytime I walked into the classroom the teachers back was turned away from class. Head of school, Melissa, seemed out of touch and over her head. Way to expensive.

Awful administration. They care more about policies and profits than children. Very weak and poor leadership. Melissa should try a new career like jewelry making.
