What Parents say:

Teacher Sharmila has taught both of my children, and I have known her as their teacher for 10 years. She is absolutely wonderful and both kids were reading by the time they "graduated" from preschool. Highly recommend!

Between our two boys, we've had 5.5 years with Sharmila and couldn't imagine any other preschool. Her program is well structured for the little ones to thrive socially, emotionally and academically. Not only did the kids progress academically...

Sharmilla's school is amazing and we are so fortunate to have found her and the great teachers there. Our two kids have been there for almost two years and have done so well under her care. First, she is patient, kind and loving to all the children.
