I have found both the KCC FishHawk preschool and the KCC Charter School to be a wonderful asset for my family. KCC is an institution with a strong focus on student success. The education provided is of high-quality and the teachers are extremely qualified and responsive. Their approach to individual education is refreshing to say the least. It’s comforting knowing the staff and teachers genuinely care for the children. I strongly recommend both the KCC preschool and charter school!
