Three of our children went to WLCN, and all of them loved the experience. The teachers were all so involved, along with all of the parents. As a coop, all of the parents were so attuned to the kids and what was going on in the school. It was a wonderful experience both for us and the kids and gave the kids a great start on the fundamentals for kindergarten.
