Kids Castle

5.0

These children are well above their age level. It's a shame they...

ABC Time Home Preschool

My son have been to Felicia's for 3 years, and she was AMAZING! He learned so much from potty training to reading! I am so glad I met her and I could be 100% confident to leave my son to Felicia. I totally recommend ABC Time Preschool.
