I tried many ways of mitigating this myself and failed every time. I finally hired Rachel this summer and what a difference! My son is feeling confident and excited about school and projects! He is reading and asking for books for Chirstmas! Because he feels confident, he puts in more effort and actually received all A's in his first semester of middle school! Hire Rachel for your child. Thank you Rachel!

I have 2 daughters enrolled at CDC. The time they have been there has been the most enriching and…read morewonderful experience for both them and I. My daughters have thrived in their program. The center is structured, fun, and educational. Ms. Kandy and Mr. Walker are excellent lead teachers and the staff are all amazing. I seriously LOVE this program. Why did I remove one star then? Because we were recently informed that there was an administrative decision to terminate the children entering kindergarten this fall AT THE END OF JUNE. I think this was an awful and short sighted decision. I am left having to transition my daughter to a much less desirable situation until kindergarten begins this fall. I am saddened that they didn't consider the impact this would have on the child already facing a huge milestone in their lives. One of the great things about this program was that your child could transition from the center (on school campus) right into the elementary school. Now this is no longer the case :(

A gem in the rough, this school is in start-up phase after closing down for 2-3 years for a…read morecomplete reconstruction. The heart of the academic program is a dual immersion concept where students spend half the day learning in Spanish and half the day learning in English. Dare I say that this is a superior model and fairer to English language learners than the total Spanish immersion at certain magnet schools with huge waiting lists? Sherman is a neighborhood school and the student body has a very high proportion of English language learners from poor families. Nonetheless, the sense one gets from visiting the new campus is one of wholesomeness. Indeed, the students' exuberance for learning is matched by the evident commitment of their family members to their kids' education. The teachers, all hand-picked by the forward-looking principal who championed the dual immersion concept with the district, seem deeply committed to the educational mission. One hang-up: The administration seems a bit disorganized due to being in start-up phase. I hope these issues take care of themselves in the next year as they find their groove.

My son is biracial, and at the time 4yrs old. This was the only school in our area.The first day I…read moredrop him off the teacher wouldn' care if she was going to fast. Knowing he comes from a English home. I use to think that the Spanish culture was gentle, sweet, and patience. I was wrong. That teacher seem like she had something wrong with her eyes. She didn't even help my son knowing he had an IP, and wouldn't try to slow down. I could tell my son was starting to get uncomfortable, and couldn't wait to get home....Hes now in another school. Doing a lot better and getting the proper education he needed. I went to this school when I was a child.(I am African-American) Only to understand why my parents moved me out of this school. Just because they keep changing this school with nice things doesn't mean that they nice. If it wasn't for one of the ladies in the Office who has a little girl. That star is for her/them. Thank you. She/they helped me, and my son. I put him here because of a favorite teacher with out her here anymore this school just isn't the same.

My son test scores excel the standards of other public schools around the surrounding area. I'm please with the quality education as well as the one to one attention my son receives to achieve his academic goals. I have no regrets withdrawing my son from public school and sending him here. They teach moral values as well as biblical virtues that public schools can not provide. So if you are considering sending your child here you will not be disappointed.

I enjoy walking with her to school everyday and I adore her teacher, Mrs. Baker.

I'm very proud both my kids will be going here. It's a "10" as well!
