My Son attended the preschool center for 2 years (age 3 and age 4) with Ms Lindsey and we had an excellent experience. the curriculum was more challenging than I thought and for my son, this was excellent. He has some attention issues and the intervention specialists on staff did such amazing work with him. We loved this school! Close Quote

My oldest son was a preschool student from 2010-21013 and we had an amazing experience with this school! My middle child will be starting here in a few weeks & I know we will have another very positive experience... So much so that I'm already sure we will send my youngest when he's ready. Close Quote

All the teachers have helped my autistic son improve tremendously. It is incredible how far along he has become in the last year. All the teachers are very caring and love there jobs. The teachers keep the parents informed of there children and there progress in the school. This is a very good school and I am very happy I made the choice for my son to go here. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
