Amanda: My daughter started kindergarten this year and like any new parent I was worried, anxious and just plain sick to my stomach and the idea of sending my daughter off with people I didn't know. Every teacher and every staff member down to the crossing guard makes you feel welcome and are so helpful. The teacher are very good at communicating how your child's day has been and how they are doing in class. They offer many extracurricular activities after school as well as music and art classes. Everyone is really focused on the number one goal which is quality education and doing it together!
