My child has had a wonderful experience at Breton Downs. Every single teacher they have had has been incredibly supportive. I feel so lucky to have my kids be a part of this learning environment.

The teachers at the school are amazing. They are caring and focused on kids. The principal of the school is horrible. She is fake and doesn’t support the teachers.

Amazing experience at this school. My child loves his school peers and enjoys his friends. What a nice and positive experience that I would not change.
