My four-year old hearing daughter has attended the Early Childhood Education program at PSD for almost two years now and it truly is exceptional. Kids in this program learn ASL (sign language), create amazing art work - for example, last year, kids helped to make a large playhouse-sized store using wood and tools, become active and intentional members of the school community - having long discussions/generating rules/voting etc. I have been extremely impressed with how well the teachers understand all of the children in their care. This is an amazing program!

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
