Jennifer: Bessie Hoffman is a wonderful school. The multi-age program is spectacular. The way the kids interact with all ages and grade levels is great. I also love the way all the kids get a chance to go to other teachers class rooms for activities. The independence they receive to make many decision by themselves at a very young age is awesome!
