  • Me encantan el trato hacía los niños y los cuidados tanto en educación como en alimentación. Tuve a mi hijo mayor ahí y aprendió mucho, en este momento a mis hijos en visitas a casa y es fantástico el programa gracias.

  • Teachers with no empathy for children! Terrible service for children. They bother you for anything. They don't allow the child in if they want to talk to you. They hold complaint meetings almost twice a week when dropping off the child. They banned my child for a week because he was starting a medication and they wanted a lot of things that were totally unnecessary, just to keep him from entering, putting up obstacles for everything. I do not recommend this school for childcare if you have a job, as they would be wasting your time.
