Because of difficult circumstance, my son began Kindergarten three weeks into September and we were not only welcomed with open arms, but they made a point to consider greatly our situation. All of the staff (without exception) made a point to acclemate my little guy to the kindergarten program and meet everyone in a friendly, welcoming way. They are right on track or above where they should be in learning. I have nothing but praise for Calabro.
