The academic portion is helpful and the hours are great
I love the entire atmosphere and the energy from staff is remarkable! I don’t know how they can remember all the kids names and so quickly!! Very approachable and accepting. Helpful to the fullest too. The activities are engaging and fun for my child. My kid looks forward to going and participating in whatever they have planned.
