Asheville Math has been incredibly helpful for my High School daughter that has struggled with math…read moresince elementary school. While she excels at every other subject Math has always been difficult for her. The tutors here have a great way of teaching that makes math understandable even for students that are very behind in the subject. After my daughter's last tutor session she said "if math was taught this way in school I wouldn't dread it and it would make sense to me".... They also seem to offer homework help/group tutoring and I'm sure they could challenge any child that was looking to go beyond what they are currently learning at school. Overall we are extremely pleased.

I want to start this review by saying: I've never left a review or even had a yelp account until I…read moresaw the dishonesty from a previous reviewer and I want to help set the record straight! Our daughter has been enrolled at Learning Tree of Fletcher for just over a year now. We sat down with one of the owners and from the beginning we had a very positive and welcoming feeling from both owners Jen and Kevin. We felt the environment and the goals set in place were exactly what we were looking for in childcare and Pre-K. We were made aware of the pricing and fees before we signed any paper work. They let us know the cameras in the facility were to maintain a goal of total transparency and safety for children and their parents, however in the beginning they did have to work out the kinks in the system to allow the cameras to go live through a password protected portal online. They use what's called "Smartcare" which is an app that allows you to get updates on what the children are doing as far as activities, meals, nap, and play. They also on regular basis will take pictures and upload them during the day so you can see everything they're are doing in and out of the classroom. Also you can download the picture from the app for your own personal collection. Also within the app you can use the barcode provided to sign your child in and out if the center. You can pay your bill and see a breakdown of cost and also follow a link to their website. For Security you have a lock code that opens the door to the center and every parent has a personal lock code that is not to be shared. They do have annual enrollment fees like all centers we have visited and no hidden fees, which is great. Through the course of the year that our daughter has been enrolled, the center has put up a privacy fence, picnic tables with umbrellas and their camera system is now live online(with password protection) I know they're also looking into resurfacing the outside play area and upgrading their toys and outdoor activities. Our daughter has strived at Learning Tree. Her language and development are above or on pace for her age. Communication with teachers and the owners is great. They're very involved and always willing to stop and talk with you. They were great with potty training assistance. They do not start potty training until they are in the 2 and up class, but only took a few weeks once we began. They do parties and encourage families to attend and take part in activities. They had events for Mothers and Fathers day which was really nice. This is great facility that is still improving! My only complaints were in the beginning they had staff turnover, but Kevin and Jen are very particular in their expectations and some of the former staff were not meeting what I feel their "High Standards" were. Also the parking is tight and I know that's something they're exploring to improve. I know this is a lot of information to absorb but this is for our children after all and nothing is more important than knowing your child is safe throughout the day and is getting the proper care and preparation to be ready for Kindergarten!!! I hope this review helps in what you are looking for in a childcare center!!!

PLEASE DO NOT send your children to this daycare‼They ALWAYS have openings. The staff is terrible…read more They do not dress appropriate for Day Care workers. No one has credentials! This place is dirty dark and dingy. They have bugs. Two of the teachers literally got into a fist fight in front of the children. Screaming and shouting profanity is not what I want my child to hear.The workers at this Day Care are very judgmental. They do show favoritism with the children. I can go on and on, but I really want to warn parents about the dangers in this Daycare. This Daycare also closes if it rains hard, the water goes out. The GAS heat goes out constantly and you are still required to pay if the daycare is closed. It's just not a safe environment for children and to be honest they really need to be shut down!!! And THE CAMERAS DO NOT WORK!!!!

I've taken adult art classes from Peggy over the past 15 years from her studio in Cupertino. Peggy…read moredoesn't just show you the basics, she really makes students think about the process from beginning to end. From pre-planning an art project, to sketching to execution of the piece. I've learned more from her than any art teacher I've taken classes from in the past. She also teaches a variety of after school art classes for children as well as classes throughout the school year. It's always fun to see what the younger students come up with. She's pretty amazing and supportive of the kids as well. Her class offerings change regularly as well, so there's never a dull moment. I've taken PMC classes, mosaic art as well as the adult studio classes. Peggy's studio is really awesome - there are a lot of tools, supplies, books, and more to draw inspiration from. The grounds are lovely too - beautiful garden area with flowing water. It's a creative oasis for art students in Cupertino. :-)

I took ceramics from Peggy for 10 years and I cannot even start to tell you how much I learned…read more Peggy challenges her students to make whatever their mind can think of (and that can fit into the kiln). She teaches a variety of techniques in ceramics and allows her students to think for themselves and use their imagination. She also has an unimaginable amount of glazes to help make each piece of artwork very unique and exactly how the artist envisioned it. Peggy also teaches a variety of different art classes as well, not limited just to clay. She is one of the best teachers I have ever had and you will benefit so much if you or your child chooses to take a class (or several classes) from her!
