The preschool is fantastic. Ms. Dollar is a wonderful teacher who challenges kids and truly brings out their full potential and lets them know they are smart and worthy of love and anything they put their minds to. She also holds them to a high standard as children with behavior and how they act in class. I could not have found a better park for my daughter. She's beyond ready for kinder and is at a 1st-grade level in literacy and reading.
