"Mixed Feelings"

My child had a great experience at Penn Wood, but I did find the communication with the teachers to be a bit hit-or-miss at times. The facilities are lovely, and the staff are generally very supportive. I'm grateful for the opportunities my child had, but I do think there's room for improvement.
