Linda Nolen is a wonderful school! My daughter has been attending LNLC for 14 years. The teachers are awesome and we have a wonderful principal and assistant principal who really care about the children. They offer PE, music, art and many other classes for the children. LNLC has been a blessing for my daughter.
