“If you've never walked into a room full of 30 kids, that feels calm and peaceful - it's a pretty magical experience. Both my boys have attended this preschool from the age of around 2, and I don't know what kind of magic the teachers here possess but it's pretty common to walk in to a calm room, 30 kids of various ages working on something with a teacher, or playing peacefully together, or happily playing independently. This is an awesome preschool - amazing teachers, really hands on manager, and the coolest sandpit my boys had ever seen. Any time we've had an issue over the years the staff have been really proactive and managed it well. It's a fantastic preschool and absolutely incredible team of teachers who give so much to the kids every day.”
