What Parents are Saying about Our Schools

It is so great to know my child is being prepared for Kindergarten by a certified teacher!…
I have loved every minute of our time at School for Amazing Kids, Helena. I have a four-year-old (who started at 6 weeks) and am expecting another little bundle of joy the end of this month. I would not have my newborn anywhere else. The teachers are fantastic, the directors are top-notch, and the classrooms are always clean and orderly. I am so thankful for Mrs. ***** who has done wonders with my four-year-old in getting him ready for Kindergarten. It is so great to know my child is being prepared for Kindergarten by a certified teacher!
