I can't say enough good things about working with Ian at Hello College. My son has always struggled…read morewith math and was really nervous before the meeting. Ian's warmth and kindness immediately put him at ease. It was such a relief to see my shy kid relax and actually start to feel confident. Ian clearly knows the material, but what stood out even more was the way he connected with my son and explained things in a way that finally made sense. As a parent, I felt truly heard. Ian understood that this wasn't just about math -- it was about my child's confidence and self-esteem. He was honest, caring, and clear in his communication, which made me feel hopeful and reassured that we have a real path forward. I'm so grateful for the experience. What could have been stressful turned into something positive and encouraging, and that's because of Ian. I would wholeheartedly recommend Hello College, especially Ian, to any family looking for not just academic support, but someone who genuinely cares about kids.

I love this school and recommend them highly without any reservation. Angelika, Natalie and Stephanie are amazing! Tell them I sent you!

After trying several daycare solutions, we came across TGS Yorktown just before they opened. I…read morespoke with Kerry, the Executive Director, who was incredibly welcoming from our first conversation. The warm environment and beautiful facility made the decision to sign up our son very easy. Our son was one of the very first students at TGS Yorktown nearly one year ago and started in the infant classroom. The staff has always been extremely communicative, caring and understanding. The updates and photos throughout the day allow us to rest assured knowing our child is in a wonderful and fun learning environment. As he transitioned to eating solids, gained more independence in his motor skills, and began talking, the teaching staff has consistently provided incredible care and paid close attention to his developmental milestones. I think back to our decision to send our little one to daycare, how stressful and anxiety-inducing it can be as a first time parent, especially during a pandemic, and smile because I now cannot imagine our life without the amazing staff at TGS Yorktown!

Our son went to Seton for over three years and it was not a great experience. He was recently…read moreunenrolled because we did not hire an additional in-class aide for him at their request (he has a speech delay and is very energetic) Early childhood classes are crowded and too full to accommodate anything but 'typical' children. Communication from teachers consisted mostly of group emails - individual meetings with teachers were sparse. Making additional donations to the school (on top of tuition) is encouraged, perhaps that would've helped with communication! We enjoyed the infant and toddler programs, but the early childhood class experience was a failure on many levels. Too many children per teacher. We could sense the overwhelming focus on logistics, ironic for Montessori method while they always touted education. Our son's doing so much better in a different preschool. Overall Seton was a disappointment and their early childhood program needs an overhaul.

This place is filled with wonderful staff and kids. I would absolutely recommend Guiding Hands to everyone, I have never walked out the door and worried about the care and safety of my children.

There is a structured curriculum and the teachers work with the children on key development items throughout the day through group activities and open play.

The staff is great about providing updates via the mobile app including daily photos (sometimes multiple group and individual) of the activities, meals/snacks, and nap times. We've felt very welcome here, and we would highly recommend this location.
