"We've had our son at this school for four years. The school operates using a "Love and Logic" approach. This means they give the child a task, support the child, will guide them to make wise decisions, but ultimately allow them to make their own choices (and possibly fail). They focus on allowing for a strong parent/child/teacher relationship by not giving homework in lower grades and slowly adding it. This allows the child to enjoy learning vs being programmed to do worksheets. It also lets parents (especially new ones) get used to teaching and helping their kids without it becoming a fight. The teachers have all been supportive and available by email or in person. They get to know the children and its clear that they do this because they want to. That makes the school a welcome place for learning. If there was thing to improve, the front office can be a little rough which can lead to a poor first impression, but they are helpful and just trying to work through a large workload as quickly as possible."

"Staff unsupportive to students. Extremely poor at resolving bullying issues, allowing them to run rampant, with little discipline. More likely to punish your child as a victim than the culprits. Staff take part in behavior damaging to young children, such as making fun of how they laugh. They join in with students in taunting other students, perpetuating and reinforcing bad behavior."
