My son goes here and has completed a year of kindergarten so far. They have done a great job teaching him. What I didn't like is that at the end of the year, they did not give me a report of his IPA. I never had meetings or updates on how he was doing. I don't even know if they kept up with the one-on-one sessions. I will have to contact them this upcoming year and stay on top of it to make sure they are doing what they are supposed to.
