Worst School to send your kids. Don't waste your money by the false promise they give about teaching math and language at early age. Ms.Rosa is one of the worst staff in the school. They care about tuition and money. The rating in Great Schools could be given by the school administration. Parents will never have peace of mind if they send their kids there. They don't know how to take care of kids.

Very satisfied with their program. Great learning environment. Healthy meals. Rigorous academic schedule. I would highly recommend to any parent.

In today's crumbling field of education, it is difficult to find a small class size in which teachers can devote quality time to students. I have been a fan of this school for many years now. The teachers here genuinely care about the students and try their best to provide quality education. The kids here are by far much more advanced than students in public schools who are now looking at 40 kids to 1 teacher per classroom. It's important to note that most of the "parents" posting on here are complaining only about the cost of tuition. First off, compare the rates of the schools in the area; this school has the lowest cost AND they have not raised their tuition in years. Secondly, $520 for a hot lunch, 2 daily snacks, quality education, and a safe haven from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm is NOT expensive. Parents who would prefer not to pay for a better education can always go to public school. I have brought 3 of my own children here and referred at least 6 other friends and family members. I will continue to spread good word of mouth because I know how great this school is. They have been in business for almost 40 years... they must be doing something right.

Although this is a good school they do very little to try and help struggling students. They have no resources as far as tutoring and yes tuition seems to be their number one concern. Overall it is a very safe environment but more could be done for those struggling students.

Concerns about academic rigor. Collecting tuition and registration costs seem to be biggest priority.

This school has been a very good choice for my daughter academically and also in developing her social skills. The teacher's are very good with the children. They offer monthly bulletins to keep the parents informed on what will be taught in the classroom which is helpful to a parent in order to better assist the child at home.
