"A good start, but some improvements needed"

We're still relatively new to The New School, but I think they're a great school with a lot of potential. The staff are friendly and my child seems to enjoy the classes. However, I do think they could improve on communication with parents and some of the facilities could be updated. Fingers crossed they'll continue to improve.
