Sarah: My daughter attended this school in the 08-09 year and she loved it. Her teacher was great and was the first to notice a problem with her keeping up with the work. Thanks to her early detection we now know my daughter has dyslexia. That teacher really got to know my daughter and understood her way of learning. Thank you to the staff at Cascades School!! See you all next year!
