My son has been at BBMA Since December! He loves his school and so do I! The curriculum that is taught is amazing, all of the staff are really passionate, and the director really cares, she is so nice and always helps in any way that she can. The family activities that are planned for us are so nice and are always a great way to interact with everyone throughout the school!
