My kids love this school! My oldest no longer attends but asks often if he can go back :) My little one, pre-k, enjoys everyday, and always has amazing art to bring home, has learned a lot through the curriculum, and is excited for big kid school (elementary)! I too am ready for her to attend. I feel she's been prepared and will be successful, due to the established good habits and encouragement she's received at CK!

I have withdrawn my daughter during summer due to price but realized, quickly what a HUGE mistake that was. She stopped advancing and recessed backwards. Needless to say, she's back :) and doing very well. It was nice to see her act like a big girl again and lose those bad kid habits she picked up so quickly.
