I can honestly go on and on about how warm, attentive, and caring the staff here is--but there are just as many logistical reasons as why this place is amazing--1) they open early and close late, 2) they are open year round and don't follow any board of education calendar, 3) they provide a varied and nutritious hot lunch and daily snack, 4) developmentally appropriate classes are provided (dance, music, art, etc), 5) there are two adorable shows per year where the kids memorize songs, dances, and poems. I'm very grateful to Elena and her staff for taking care of our kids for all these years.
