My daughter really loves school and her teachers. Everyone is very loving. They are teaching her about Jesus, in addition to her letters and numbers. They offer chapel, music, library, gym, tons of art projects, too! It's a nice environment, small with individual classrooms, a large gym for meals and exercise. Very pleased!
