Parent Review

While I was not impressed with this school I must make mention of the phenomenal Director Winsome Jones. She is warm and loving and seems very dedicated to the children.

The school goes from infancy through preschool and while the infant room is in a classroom,, the twos through fives are located in a gym separated by what looks like barn stalls. In the center of the gym is a home play slide that I assume the children take turns using. I could not tell where the children would eat lunch or how they nap.

The other thing that was strange was the lighting. The gym was dark and the teachers were teaching with no light. The one positive thing seemed to be the relationship between the children and the teachers. They were laughing playing and interacting with each other. Teachers were at children’s levels and seemed genuinely happy to be there. If you are looking for a school that has a wonderful teachers and don’t necessarily care too much about the environment, this is the school for you.
