What parents say
Very good school my daughter went here for TK but she had to leave because a kid slapped her in the eye but overall amazing school many memories for how my daughter is growing up.
Milady Herrera · 4/5 on Google · 2 years agoThe only downside I found was that the minimum income requirements are very low, so if you earn 35,000 or more a year and have four people in your household, you'd better not even bother applying. To them, you're rich! Another issue was that when I asked for references for other places, they couldn't tell me anything; they didn't know or couldn't recommend any other place for me.
Lizz Fuentes · 3/5 on Google · 10 years agoI like the way the teachers treat my daughter; it's a good and accessible school.
Sandra Pérez · 5/5 on Google · a year agoMy youngest daughter attended there; it's good, has parking, the staff is friendly, and it's very accessible.
