My son loves this school and I would recommend it to any parent looking for daycare. It is hard to find a center that's a good fit for your child but my son loves it here! I love the daily communication app with pictures and almost hourly updates on my child. It makes me feel safe and secure knowing he is doing well. My son looks forward every day to go to school and that means a lot.
