What our community is saying about us…

CKP nurtures each individual child

After seeing the CATE Awards show, the word that comes to mind, that should always be associated with CKP is “Nurture.”   CKP nurtures each individual child, no matter what level they are.  What a fantastic community this creates. What a wonderful place for children to learn and grow.
