We could not have imagined the opportunity for growth that NSA’s pre-k program offered our son. He was immersed in an environment that allowed him to explore, learn and grow that also encouraged creativity, independence and collaboration. The teachers, assistants and staff are passionately devoted to early childhood development and innovative ways to encourage children to learn. NSA’s investment in our son exceeded our expectations. We only wish we had enrolled him sooner.
