I love this school. As a childcare provider, I have sent 7 children to this school from my childcare home. I have always found the teachers, principle, and assistants very caring and loving instructors. All of the teachers will know and recognize each and every child as an indiviual, (even away from the school)and if they cannot recall the child's name immediately, they will acknowledge the child as going to their school.
