- EZEric Knaus (The Great Zucchini)Aug 6, 20255.0I had the awesome privilege of performing at this fantastic school today. Gergana, the director was so welcoming and kind when I got there and helped me with the smooth transition to get to my performance area. The teachers were amazing, friendly and some have been here for years which shows that they really enjoy working for Gergana. The owner of the school also came in to watch the performance and he’s also a proud dad that was watching the show with his son that also goes to this school. He was terrific and he really hires well as everyone here is 100 percent top of their game. Can’t wait to come back

In our preschool and pre-k classrooms, we add more school preparation and readiness by focusing on academic skills as well as interpersonal and collaboration skills.
