Flexible and accommodating to requests. Great teachers that our son enjoys spending time with. We are especially happy with the ability to bring our sons vegan meals from home. That is a game changer and we could not be more grateful.

The children follow a curriculum that is play oriented, everyone gets to know the kids names making them feel extremely comfortable there, this is the most important thing to me. The teachers all seem skilled at implementing behavioral interventions that allow for the rooms to be productive, comfortable, etc.
