Don’t Just Take Our Word For It

We love how FAA/DOT creates an active learning environment for our daughter. Her class is always doing interesting art projects, playing on the playground, or learning new songs and exploring new skills. They have also been extremely supportive, working with us through some of her special health needs. I feel so comfortable dropping my daughter off there because I know she’s surrounded by a community that loves her and wants her to thrive.
