My daughter loves this school, the teachers and principal are amazing. The front office staff leaves a little to be desired, but overall a wonderful environment for my daughter.

My child only went to Pre-K at Gilbert due to no Pre-K at Farrington. My child had such a great experience there. Mrs. Clements and Ms. Nancy are 'pure magic' with the children. When I observed their interaction with the children I noticed such a smooth transition into helping the children learn, regardless of the learning ability or manners of the child. They are so soothing but yet get the children excited about learning.
