"A Good School with Potential"
We moved away from the area and my child finished at the school last year. While we had a good experience overall, I did find the school's communication with parents to be a bit hit and miss at times. That being said, the teachers are dedicated and the school has a lot of potential. I would recommend it to others, but perhaps with a bit of caution.

"A Great Experience for My Child"
We joined the school 2 years ago and it's been a great experience for my child. The teachers are supportive and the school's values of kindness and respect are clearly visible in the way the children interact with each other. I particularly like the Mini Vinnies program which encourages the children to think about others and do something to help.
