School Reviews麻豆果冻传媒>5 11/2/2017This school is amazing. Not only does the staff provide a comfortable environment, they go out of their way to provide a safe one. Each morning, many of the staff remain outside monitoring children, making sure they cross the street safely. They are encouraging and it clearly shows in the children.
