Posted May 15, 2007

My child has been going to TCE since she was in Kindergarten. All of her teachers have been excellent at teaching and pushing her to learn. Although this year, her third grade teacher was not as hands on as previous. The principle is doing a great job. The whole staff is very polite and protective of all the children. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone. The only negative thing is I wish they had more clubs and activities. I look forward for my child to start her fourth grade year. Thanks
