I like the staff and teachers attentiveness to my child's needs. I like the structure that ensures his timely milestone development. I also like the parent / staff / teacher interaction. We work together with one common goal in mind - the child. Lastly, I want to add that I like the friendliness of the staff and their willingness to work with parents when issues arise. It's a great all inclusive environment.
