It's a really wonderful center - great teachers that know all the kids (and many have been there for a decade or more), very personal, great atmosphere, very stimulating, and our daughter simply thrived there. We've been extremely happy with every stage from early infant right up through 4K. Our daughter has learned so much at every stage, not only what's in the well-designed curriculum but also many things I may or may not have thought (or known how) to teach her like various life skills, lots about how the world works, and SO much more. She had amazing teachers that we loved as much as she did. We really miss Pooh Bear. I highly recommend it!
