My son started here when he was just a year old. He is now 3 1/2. First step is not just a school but its also family /home. My kid adjusted so well. He struggled at a young age because he was hard of hearing and they ALWAYS accommodated him and made him feel safe. As a parent the security of my son is very important to me and they communicate so well. Thank you guys so much - 10/10.

I love the fact that my children not only feel loved at home but they feel loved at school. Ms.MaryJo and her staff go above and beyond for these kids and there is nothing like having someone who loves your kids as much as you do
