What parents say
We loved this school, especially Mrs Maggie. My daughter always came home with the coolest art, and even Gemstone mala bead jewelry bracelets. They have a great outdoor play area, with bikes, ect. The children were all so sweet and well behaved when I would drop off and pick up her up. Definitely recommended this cute Montessori School, we miss going there.
