School Reviews

I have had 2 children attend this school at very different times (I have a 19 yr old & a 6 yr old) & I have never had an issue with anything at either time. They are very good with discipline, rewarding for good behavior when earned, & encouragement when necessary. If your child can behave & knows good manners, this is a great school for them!
