I have worked with this company for 3 years and 9 months. I enjoyed my job very much, although I sad when I was laid off.
The children was wonderful, as well as the staff. They are engaged a lot with their children and wish that I had the money to send my child to their school. Catholic Schools have a higher graduation rate, opposed to Public Schools.
Their charities, parents, and children are very loving and giving.
I would love the opportunity to work with them again. If you shall need an after school program, I would recommend them. your child would be giving something more to do besides color all day long.
