WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"KELC and HHA are like none other! Our kids have flourished at this school. The program is designed in a way to ensure that every child is being challenged academically and fits their needs. All of the teachers we have had at the school have been incredible. They are patient, kind, and have truly cared about our children. Our kids are always excited to tell us about the interesting things they have learned. Not only are the teachers amazing, but the grounds are, as well. The animals, gardens, and outdoor spaces are such a wonderful asset for the school. We feel this school has been such a great fit for us and are so thankful for the opportunity to be at a school with such a rich program and wonderful staff!"
