Although it may be on the small size, the other factors make up for it. Kids here get more attention from the helpful and educated staff.

The description at the top bears no resemblence to the lazy, hands-off reality of the place! That was our experience there last year. Very minimal leadership of the kids in activities... In the mornings like a coffeehouse for stray parents... Teachers and assistants were very unattentive to children. No evidence of them actually reading any books to kids... No apparent pre-academic learning going on, as compared with another preschool we had attended. All in all, we thought the place was a rip-off... A KENNEL to dump one's kid in during the working hours!<ul><li><b> OVERALL School Rating</b>: 1 <li><b> Health and Safety</b>: 1 <li><b> Environments</b>: 1 <li><b> Teaching Staff</b>: 1 <li><b> Teacher/Child Ratios</b>: 1 <li><b> Curriculum</b>: 1 </ul> TENTH STREET KENNEL is more like it… The description at the top bears no resemblence to the lazy, hands-off reality of the place!
