This school is by far the very best i've ever been to. the teachers are very friendly, and the kids are just great. Also, if you choose to enroll your child, don't worry they have a 3 day camp before the school year starts. They also do lots of art, like the mosaics all around the school. I call it "a magical place" were children are sure to thrive. Even though the dress code is a little strict, your child is sure to learn from the MAGNIFECENT teachers. preferably Mr. Luna.
