So far, so good!
Review of: The Family Learning House
My daughter (a little over 2 years old) has been going to the Family Learning House for 2 months now and so far she loves it -- as do I and my wife.
I really appreciate the educational philosophy that focuses on virtues -- though sometimes it can get a little too New Age-ish for my tastes.
The place is clean, the staff efficient, friendly and professional, and overall I'd strongly recommend it and I'm sure my daughter will be sad when the school year ends next week -- but she'll be looking forward to starting again in the fall!
