Just wondering what you've heard about it or what your experience has been with them?

Thanks!

We sent our daughter there when she was 4 and we had just moved here and there wern't many options. If you live in Walton County, there are good preschools here. If you need daycare, Roane School is good, and their preschool program is good, but why drive over there unless you need the full day care?

We looked at a number of different places when our triplets were PK. After all was said and done, they went to Primary Prep in Panama City Beach. Absolutely fantastic experience. Our girls, now in kindergarden, are far ahead in reading and social skills than most of their classmates. Primary Prep ranked as #1 in NW Florida for VPK for the past several years. The four-year-old teacher Miss Bly is better than 99% of the teachers you will find anywhere. Cannot recommend the school enough.

If you are interested talk to Jan Hodges at 850-234-5437

Thanks for the replies! We were looking at that school because they are a VPK provider. Maybe the Early Learning Coalition's web-site was out of date, but I don't think any of the other schools in Walton county are? We live on the West end of SRB, so the drive wouldn't be that bad to the Roane School.

Thanks again for your responses:)

My grandson goes to this school --Roane -- two days a week and seems to enjoy it.
Butler has the VPK program unless they have changed it this year. They do the VPK in summer before kindergarten and it is excellent.
