My daughter attends Pat's Schoolhouse on Buckley, and we are happy with that decidion.
There are also people from our building who send their kids to Eton House on Newton Road. . .and we knew some repatriated people who sent their daughter to the Montessori school.
I have heard no complaints from anyone on any of these three schools. And from my observation, the kids are very well behaved and mature for their age.
Good Luck!

Thanks for your reply!
I'm going to visit their school sometime next week. We're going to move to this area and Pats is one of the schools within walking distance from our new home

Great--Hope you enjoy your visit. Elsie is terrific and she runs a very happy school.
I'm also within walking distance and make the daily 6-minute commute by foot.
Good luck on your decision, and drop me a pm if you need some neighborhood info.

Not sure if you got my response to your pm. It's sitting in my outbox, though I thought I hit "send". Let me know if you didn't get it. . .

Another place is the west coast, those condos near the west coast park is great and the park is less crowded than east coast park.
