“I cannot say enough good things about BOPN. The outdoor preschool has completely transformed my child. He used to be shy and unsure of himself, but after starting the preschool he has changed for the better. My child has become a confident, outgoing mini grown-up during his time at BOPN. He is much more open and engaging with kids and adults. My wife and I love the transformation! The teachers are wonderful human beings and I feel my child is in great hands. The administrative staff are quick to respond and will address any concerns in a reassuring manner. Thank you BOPN!”
