Wonderful teachers with long tenure. Great parent association that builds community with events and fun activities for the children. They have Nursery, Preschool, and TK programs. Been attending since my child was two and is now going into TK.

A wonderful school with great teachers. We started here in 2019 and our third child is now on their last year at this sweet school. The art, outdoor play and parent community, teacher and events make this school a great place. They offer picnic options as well. We have been very happy!

I was very disappointed with this school. From week one teacher kept making mean faces to me. When I decided to take my child out of this school I was told that I have to pay the next month tuition as well even though my child would not be attending. It is their policy. Also non stop fundraising notices. Overall impression is: this is a church based school. But it is very money oriented even money loving.
