School Reviews

My 5 year old daughter with ADHD, ODD and slight emotional and sensory issues started kindergarden this year 2018-19. Honestly when my child first stated the school I didn`t know what to think. I have read a lot of reviews both good and bad. The Lab School definitely needs help with their special education department. There is no structure. But overall I have seen nothing excitement in my daughters face when she goes and come home. She is learning Spanish at 5 years old. She is really good. They do science experiment and a lot of other things with the kids. What ever curriculum they are using it is A1. I am really impressed with The Lab School. It is like a private school for free.
