I've sent my daughter to FUMP since she became preschool aged and I'm very happy with her experience. She has had wonderful hands on teachers that have always been great in communicating their lessons, upcoming themes and activities, as well as her development along the way. We will be sending our son as soon as he's old enough. Couldn't recommend a better place for my little's most formative years.
