School Reviews
5   5/9/2022
I can see the school performance of my children as they have improved tremendously. My six years old can read and he knows his additions. My pre-k daughter who is 4 years old knows how to say and spell her sight words and also, and she can express herself very well, tell stories and answer questions after a book has been read to her.
