What Parents Say about WMA

“The space itself is just stunning with large windows all around giving plenty of natural light in the preschool, with an outside play area just outside the back door. Safety and security are a top priority at the school. We really appreciate all the activities our children have been exposed to over the past 3 years – yoga, theatre arts, music, and Italian with a native Italian teacher. Most importantly, our daughter has fun, loves learning, and says she really likes to go to school!”
