What Parents are Saying about Our Schools

He lets go of me when I drop him off and runs to his teachers…

We loveSchool for Amazing Kids, Helena! The teachers and directors are extremely observant with the children. My 2-year old’s teacher would point out any little bump or scratch as soon as I walked in the door to pick him up. He’s a rough, tough boy so I would expect these minor scrapes but not one mark was unnoticed by his teacher. As particular as my child is, he loves every teacher he’s had. I can tell by the way he lets go of me when I drop him off and runs to his teachers. We are so pleased that each staff member pays such close attention to him and keeps us informed.
