Between my two children, my family has been at Beacon for 6 years and it has been wonderful! The teachers here are the best - genuinely attentive and caring - and the curriculum is just the right mix of having silly fun and supporting early-developing skills. I highly recommend Beacon for anyone who's looking for a nurturing environment for their preschooler.
