MS. JENN'S LITTLE ACHIEVERS
5.0
My son is 2 and we did a little bit in the summer to try it out, and he started full time in September and it has been wonderful. The school is so good about working with my son and work with his early intervention colleagues. He is learning so much and I could not be happier with the center!
