The staff here are always willing to go above and beyond! My son is potty training and they are really patient and have finally helped him and given us plenty of advice on how to help at home. No matter the question they always have suggestions and things they can try during the day. Every day he comes home happy, and with something new to show or do. He absolutely loves it and I would not send him anywhere else.
