My daughter has been enrolled in Belmont since she was 3. She began in ECSE (Early Childhood Special Education) and has thoroughly enjoyed her time there. She has had 3 classroom teachers during her time at Belmont and all of them have been amazing! From her ECSE teacher, through kindergarten and first grade, all the teachers have been encouraging and helpful to our daughter and to us! Her special education teacher is incredible! She is VERY attentive to our daughter's special needs, while being very communicative with us about our her progress and potential. The paras who work with our daughter are also so dedicated to her care and education. We feel very blessed to have found Belmont and all the people within!
