She is very caring and has a heart of gold. I have always appreciated her candor and her hard work and dedication to the world of art and education.

There are other art teachers that work during various times of the year so there are different perspectives as well. If anyone is truly interested in a real quality art experience for their child, they can schedule a trial class. Sometimes it's about the fit between teacher and student.

Mrs. Ma is the most talented and hardworking teacher I have ever met. When she teaches, she puts…read morenot only an immense amount of time and care into her students in art, but also their lives in building children in general. Her teachings and classes have shaped many children's lives and produced very diligent and creative thinkers. Some students have gone to prestigious art high schools and colleges, and won art competitions with Mrs. Ma's help. Others students who just thought of art as a hobby, were able to open their minds and gain new experiences through art. Mrs. Ma has taught me much not only about art but also about myself as a person. Many of my friends who took classes had great experiences. She really cares about her students! I implore those interested to visit in person. The studio has an annual art show which showcase all of the wonderful art the students make. Stop by and talk with Mrs. Ma; or you can check her website and facebook page. I also noticed there are reviews that are "not recommended" but were written by her students, so feel free to read those as well

I started sending my older child to Sylvan at PW since summer of 2017; started with STEM camp and…read morerepeated every summer. Our child loved it so much that eventually she requested to be enrolled for academics program. That was truly amazing because rarely would a young child request this (2nd grade at the time)! She loved all the activities (STEM, robotics, academics including math, reading and writing). I also send them to Sylvan during the winter breaks as they are available for extended hours and have great activities for the children. Lisa and Wing are extremely dedicated owners that care about delivering proper education to their students. They are also very caring toward all the children and are so down-to-earth, always easy to talk to with any concerns or questions. I highly recommend this learning center to anyone interested in excelling or reinforcing their child's studies.

My granddaughter started prekindergarten at OLS. We thought we found the perfect school. Even when…read moreparents commented, "this school is not the same", we ignored them. The prekindergarten - third grade teachers were remarkable, exhibiting Christ-like qualities. The education she received through the third grade was stellar, through and after COVID. These teachers really cared about the social-emotional and educational needs of the students that were entrusted to their care. Even when my son said it was time to change schools I stubbornly held on. But fourth grade confirmed that it was indeed time to move on. During the first week of after-school band practice my granddaughter's instrument was taken and damaged by a student in the upper grades. I spoke to the principal Mr. Venticinque, and after watching a video of the lunchroom my granddaughter's statement was confirmed. I wish this was the only incident that took place during the fourth grade. Unfortunately, it was not. She was sitting next to a new student who stole her school supplies. The teacher said she was unaware of the incident, but the new student confirmed that she stole the supplies because she didn't have any. I still do not understand how a teacher cannot monitor a class when there are only fourteen students in the class. My granddaughter actually prayed to get the fourth grade teacher she wanted. And, unfortunately she received the teacher she prayed for. This turned out to be the reason we would leave OLS. This teacher yelled and humiliated students all year. Every day my granddaughter would come home with a different story. Even though the teacher's anger wasn't directed at my granddaughter, children shouldn't be subject to this behavior from adults. She would yell at students if they didn't wear the correct color for Dollar Dress Down Day. I couldn't understand why her anger was directed at the children when parents make the decision as to what their child will wear to school. My granddaughter came out of school very upset after sitting for a test that she studied hard for. This fourth grade teacher took points off her test because she said my granddaughter was talking. I approached the teacher and told her that my grandchild was telling a student to stop cheating off her paper. The teacher asked why my granddaughter didn't tell her. I told her that she was scared of her. She looked shocked and said she would speak to her. That conversation never took place. After this I didn't approach the teacher with my concerns for fear of retaliation against my granddaughter. When the school year was coming to an end we decided this was not the school environment my grandchild should be in. I approached the principal with our concerns regarding this teacher. He responded by saying no other parents had mentioned this to him. He also stated that this fourth grade teacher never yelled. I knew that both of these statements were not true. I told him that her parents would make the decision as to whether she would stay at OLS. My son emailed the principal, Mr. Venticinque and requested a day and time to meet with him. He didn't respond to the email until mid summer. I was a faithful volunteer at OLS for four years. I actually thought this would make a difference in how my grandchild was treated. Unfortunately, it did not. The behavior of the fourth grade teacher, delayed responses from the principal and high teacher turnover are just a few of the reasons why I would not recommend this school.
