My daughter has had a great experience with the kindergarten program! The teachers are all wonderful, with lots of encouragement and enthusiasm. The school is clean, modern, and well cared for. There are laptops in the lab, music, library, spanish, gym...parents are involved with helping out with classtime activities and parties, and there is an open dialoge between parent and teacher. I am very lucky to live in this great town!
