"Excellent School Experience"

We've been at DAPS for 3 years now and it's been an amazing experience for our child. The staff are friendly and supportive, and the facilities are excellent. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on empathy, care, motivation, and engagement - it's clear that these values are lived out every day.

"A Fantastic School"

We moved away from the area, but I wanted to take a moment to praise DAPS for the incredible experience our child had. The teachers were always available to talk and the wraparound care was a lifesaver for working parents like me. We're so grateful for the education and values our child received.

"A Great School with Room for Improvement"

We're really happy with DAPS, but I do think that the school meals could be improved. That being said, the staff are wonderful and our child is thriving. We love the THRIVE approach and the emphasis on emotional literacy.
