  We sent our son here and another campus for 3-4 year old preschool. Let me say this: if your child is an average, cookie cutter kid then they will likely do spectacularly. This school is NOT for gifted children. They take average kids and elevate them. That's what they do. My son has been reading (and I do mean reading, not mimicking or parroting) since 2.5. They made him relearn his ABCs, 123s, shapes, and colors two years in a row. Because all of their years of preschool are the exact same thing. Any child would act out having to relearn the same thing over and over especially when it was something they came into school already knowing. And tuition is definitely on the pricier side. So we wasted thousands of dollars to have our son sent home half the time and develop a fear/hatred/aversion to school before the age of 5. So yeah, if your kid is any sort of gifted send them elsewhere. They do not make any sort of exception or let them move forward. They are big on "no special treatment " which ends up being a whole lot like the no child left behind program which means your smart kid is stuck with the lowest common denominator.

  My 4 year old is doing amazing things in the Challenger Pre-K program. Alyssa, Joy & Samantha have provided a great learning environment for my little one. Awesome results!
