When my wife, Jennifer, got pregnant with our first of two children more than 17 years ago, I was your typical scared-to-death father who didn’t feel prepared to be a dad. I didn’t know what to expect and was concerned that I wouldn’t be a good father. Growing up in a home without a dad [...]

What Parents are Saying about Our Schools
The social skills he learns at School for Amazing Kids, Helena are incredible…
My 2-year-old has learned so much at School for Amazing Kids, Helena. I’m constantly surprised at the new things he’s learned from daycare. He’s growing so fast and picking up on all of the essential building blocks of education. I was even taken aback by his knowledge of all the other kids names. He is now outspoken and loves to have conversations with me. His brother is too young to play with him right now but the social skills he learns at School for Amazing Kids, Helena are incredible. He still may have a hard time sharing but is learning more everyday from his teachers and friends!
