School Reviews

1   7/7/2017
I feel this school, like most things, cater to moms. They do a poor job of controlling bullying, do not respond to parents concerns. The communication is terrible, they do not return phone calls. The facility on the outside is very nice, but inside is drab, tiny. I would not recommend this school based on terrible communication and failure to provide a safe environment.
