Every staff member was extremely kind and accommodating with our autistic daughter. The school is very clean and has excellent activities for the children to bond and to bring families together! When we had to pull our daughter from the school due to her needing more therapy, they were very understanding and it was an easy process. We really hope that she will be ready to go back soon!
