The curriculum is good but I am disappointed in the lack of services offered to a child with disabilities such as Autism. Basically I am told to do it all myself... this is not what I was told before enrolling my children. Parents level of involvement is very high.

Great Curriculum, wonderful teachers. Yes, parents need to be involved, so expect to set time away each day to help your child. It's a wonderful unique bonding experience.
