“Whether it's the super teacher that Teacher Ricky is and how respectfully he treats the students, not in a kiddie way but students who are ripe for learning, or the fun loving nature of Teacher David and his ability to make a class instantly silly and fun, or the rock star power that Teacher Morgan brings with their amazing voice and original song writing that only Minibop provides, we are grateful to have found this business in our neighborhood.”
