My two year old granddaughter attends Firehouse and one of the biggest joy we get from her being their is to here her singing and talking about all her friends at school.

My son attended Firehouse School for about 1-1/2 and we couldn't have been happier. He is a very smart and active little boy and when teacher Lupe got to know him -- they had a great relationship and he was her helper. We always had great communication with her about his progress. He also did not nap and would spend time with her doing special projects and reading during this time period. The Kindergarten graduation was truly precious to us. I wish he could have continued there but had to go to first grade. He is now the top of his class, way beyond the other children in reading, math, etc. His present teacher said he was very well prepared. We have even gone back to visit his teacher at Firehouse School. Although my son's only teacher was Ms. Lupe, I liked the school and would recommend it.

My child was in the 4 year old class last year and made great strives. I wasn't expecting much but only good quality care.If my child learned something along the way it was just icing on the cake. To my surprise my child was ready for many things academically and Ms. Rose set those expectations for me- it can't be just play, eat, sleep and more play. This parent is grateful to this little school for getting my kid ready and excited about learning. It worked for us...

My daughter attending at age 4. I felt the teachers did not understand developmental milestones of a 4 year old and had very high expectations and demands on the children. As we dropped off our child, they were not warm and welcoming at all. The often spoke harshly to the children. They did not have any dramatic play. They expected children to nap 2 and half hours. My child was in trouble every day, due to the fact she did not nap. They gave 6 pages of homework weekly, none of them developmentally appropriate. By June, my daughter would weep as we dropped her off and hated school. I would not recommend this school.
