My daughter is in kindergarten at curtis Elementary and we have really enjoyed the school. It''s a beautiful facility with a lovely park attached. The teachers I''ve encountered have always had smiles and the administrative staff is always kind and welcoming. Her kinder teacher has taught her so much in such a short time.
