I should have written this review years ago because Patty Barna is an extraordinary tutor and the…read moreReading Remedy programming WORKS! My granddaughter was tutored by Ms. Patty beginning in Kindergarten because she struggled with making sense of letter sounds. She also had a harder time learning while sitting, so Ms. Patty created learning through movement "games" that engaged my granddaughter's learning style. Patty Barna challenged her in the warmest, most encouraging ways, making every challenge fun - and most importantly- successful. So successful that my granddaughter now, four years later, reads at the middle school/high school level and challenges herself constantly. I highly recommend Reading Remedy with Patty Barna. We're planning to use Ms. Patty again as a writing tutor. She has the gift of bringing out the best in the students she works with. Her decades of experience with students of varied abilities and learning styles coupled with her intuitive coaching and a great program are unbeatable. You'll be very happy with Reading Remedy and your kiddo will be happy and more confident as a student.. P.S. Both my granddaughters ask to visit Ms. Patty all the time.

She is amazing with children, and my son does not warm to people easily. Not only has she helped him with easy to remember tools, but she is patient and uses positive reinforcement to keep him engaged. I am so grateful to Patty for helping my son master reading and increasing his confidence. I would highly recommend Patty Barna if your child is in need of reading intervention.

We agreed to a certain amount of days and paid a generous hourly rate hoping we could depend on her to get our son caught up over the summer. Unfortunately that was not the case. She changed the schedule multiple times, dropped us all together until summer started, and then once summer did start she canceled multiple times 30 min before our session started. It was becoming difficult because we scheduled our entire day around the session (picking up my son from camp early, ending my work day early for her arrival, etc). When I politely asked for a 2 hour notice before cancelling (which should be the standard) she dropped us all together. No explantation. Just said she is letting us go. Really disappointed.

We're also so impressed with how much they've learned--everything from early literacy and numbers to sharing and social skills. They even learned a little bit of Spanish! The small group size allows for lots of personal attention, and we've noticed how well the provider knows our child's personality, needs, and milestones. Communication is excellent--we get regular updates, photos, and honest feedback that helps us stay involved. They are also super amazing with helping with potty training. If you're looking for a loving, reliable, and enriching daycare, this is it. We're so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for our child to grow and thrive!

It was actually an old draft that had been sitting in my account. I realized I never posted before,…read moreso I went ahead and posted it now. I'm not carrying anything. All good here. Just thought I'd share my experience with others so they aren't surprised. I've had people ask me what I thought about Highland and I've told them, so it seemed fitting to make it public to warn people. Now you are making things up. No profanity was used. How did you even come up with that? You weren't there. Did she make that up or did you? And what disrespect are you talking about? Me being mad? Yes, I was mad, but there was no disrespect. Raising my voice a little out of frustration that I had just told the teacher about my kid's reflux, then less than an hour later I had to pick her up for what you even confirmed was spit up? I missed my deadline and had to rearrange my whole week because of that. You told me I could bring my kid back that same day once you confirmed that the teacher didn't even know what spit up is (yet she is watching 10+ kids all day long). But I refused because I had been called so many times to pick up my child in the past. My kid has since been at another preschool and I haven't been called a single time to pick her up. If anything, your school and the teacher had a clear disrespect of my time and my job on many occasions when you would call me and require me to pick up my kid for silly reasons. Can any other reviewers confirm that this has happened to them as well? I am sure there are some that would say so themselves. I totally understand what I committed to when registering. I didn't know that my kid would be sent home again, and after so many times, I just had enough. I asked for a refund of the deposit, but you refused despite the mistake on your staff's part. That's ok. I figured since that is the case, then an honest review is fair.

We are so happy with our Highland experience. I was very anxious about sending my daughter to…read morepreschool for the first time, and we toured several facilities to see what was out there and what would be the best fit for us. As soon as we toured Highland, I knew we had found our place. The teachers are so incredibly kind and nurturing, and the Reggio Emilia play-based philosophy they follow is so wonderful. We love how much outdoor time our daughter gets, and she loves telling us about everything she's learning. In addition to the classrooms, there is a garden, mud kitchen, art atelier, and critters for the kids to play with / learn about including Tortilla the tortoise and Larry the chinchilla. Our daughter has been there for nearly a year now and we just couldn't be more pleased. As a mom, it's so important to trust the school and caregivers that interact with your child/children, and Highland is a truly wonderful place to send your kids.

You do not have to fit into a cookie cutter schedule, ours went from M, Th, F to 5 days a week. They have early drop off (at 7AM) and pick up as late at 6PM! There was a leadership change recently and the staff handled it amazingly. The New Director, Ms. Suzette, is so on top of it, she is super approachable, gives us multiple notices about upcoming events so we don't miss out and has even started a Teacher of the Month program.

Ms. Kylee has made him feel confident and comfortable trying and doing new things. Watching him grow in her class has been amazing! He has come home using sign language, singing songs, teaching us how to do yoga and so much more. She even helped us on his potty training journey! When we do things as a family on the weekend, he always says he wants to tell Ms. Kylee when he goes back to school "tomorrow".
