You won't find a better school than this!! My daughter London absolutely love this place and her teacher Ms Celia is so loving and care about all the children at the school as if they were her own. It's a co-op so all the parents get to participate and get to be involved with projects and fun field trips witch the kids absolutely love I can't say enough good things about this school and my daughter is excited to go to school every day and for me as a parent it's so amazing to see my little girl evolve, making friends and all the new things she is learning every day!

I loved it so much I had to bring my other child. Ms. Celia is the best, I like the way she disciplines the kids. It's a great place for your kid to start socializing . I like that they have so many field trips. Great teacher too.

A wonderful place to socialize your child (and yourself after being in 24 hour baby mode for the first two years), and yes, as another reviewer said, Miss Celia is amazing with discipline. Not the old-fashioned, whipping behind the shed type of discipline, just a cheerfully imparted understanding of the word "no." Great stuff.

This woman is the most unprofessional human being I have ever had the displeasure of coming across. It took two weeks and multiple phone calls and emails just to be able to reach someone to inquire about space. Two weeks later I finally got a tour scheduled, however when I got there no one answered the phone when I kept calling to be let in the gate. The director payed no mind to me when I was asking questions about her school, instead pushing the responsibility onto the parent volunteer who had no answers to half my questions. Not only this, but when I payed my application fee, she couldn't be bothered to make change so the other parent gave it to me out of his wallet. I filled out the paperwork and left expecting someone to call me about a start date. This was in late January. I called no less than three times a week since then asking when my daughter could start, what tuition would be, and what her schedule would be (they don't even offer a normal, consistent schedule, they just give you random spots during the week until more open up) and no one ever responded. Finally, last week (end of February) one of the parent volunteers finally called me back and gave me the information I'd been requesting and said my daughter could start today (March 1st, 2016). I asked her about the phone situation and if there was a better number for me to call and she said that's just how it is there unfortunately. Unacceptable when you're watching the children of many other people, but I figured I could offer some resolutions to this serious problem once we started since parents are required to work there once a week. Today, as I was loading up my daughter to head there, I called to find out if they preferred cash or check for tuition. I had to call FIVE times before the director answered SCREAMING "I'm not answering because we're in circle time and you're interrupting!!" As I tried to get a word in and explain I needed information and someone should be answering the phone she continued to yell and scream "don't tell me how to run my business!! I'm hanging up now!!" and slammed the phone down. This "woman" has at least six parents working there everyday and thinks it's ok no one answers the phone? That's unbelievable. This whole experience has been awful and I urge anyone looking to go here to find somewhere else. I don't know how they have five stars on Yelp, all the parents look miserable there. I wouldn't be surprised if this trashy woman made multiple profiles just to make herself look better.
