  • My son attended MSH for 4 years starting age 2 till Kindergarten. We were truly fortunate and blessed to have MSH in our life. MSH played a important and positive role in our son’s life. We are very thankful to all the teachers for the care, love, and patience that they gave to our son…MSH will always be in our hearts for all the years to come.
