The academics are good. Your child will lean. The playground is nice, spacious but near the woods so there is lots of insects. The teachers are certified and the daycare workers are younger with energy. However, if your child is out of the norm in terms of energy and exuberant, this may not be the best choice. They will send a child home if he or she violates their contact policy-any hitting, pinching, scratching, kicking. They expect 4 year olds to show contrition right away which may not be developmentally reasonable. The teachers don't seem able to maintain student misbehavior in-house and defer to the principal. It was even suggested that my child had psychological issues who when tested was found completely normal and even of above average intelligence. The child of average energy, relatively well behaved with a mild disposition is a good match for this school. There are field trips and fun school events. There are healthy meals and snacks. The school is a little old.
