For over a decade, Data for Children was more than just an after-school program. They were an integral part of our family's "village." Both of my daughters, M and C, started their journey with Data in 1st grade and continued through 8th grade, benefiting from both their exceptional after-school program and their enriching summer camp. Looking back, I can confidently say that Data for Children laid a strong foundation that has contributed immensely to the remarkable young women they are today. As working parents, the convenience offered by Data was invaluable. Each school day, their dedicated team would pick up my daughters from school and transport them safely to the facility. Upon arrival, 90 min is dedicated to homework, with teachers and staff meticulously checking assignments and providing support. This ensured that academic responsibilities were handled efficiently, leaving evenings free for family time. After homework, the focus shifted to Data's robust math and English programs, wrapping up the day at 6 PM, with convenient parent pick-up until 6:30 PM. What truly set Data apart was their proactive approach to student safety and communication. If a child was absent or had other commitment, a phone call was all it took. More impressively, if I ever forgot to notify them (which, I admit, I did on occasion!), Data's staff would ensure the driver waited for a set time at the pick-up line. If my child didn't appear, they would promptly call me to confirm their whereabouts. This vigilance provided immense peace of mind, knowing my children were always accounted for. Data for Children truly embodies academic excellence. Their commitment to giving students an advantage is evident, particularly in their summer camp program. During the summer months, students begin training on the upcoming school year's subject levels. This forward-thinking approach provides an invaluable preview, making new material feel less foreign and boosting confidence when school resumes. However, Data's summer program is far from all work and no play. It kicks off with a fantastic "Fun Week," where students enjoy local, educational day trips - entirely play-focused, a perfect start to summer. After this, the full-day summer camp truly diversifies the learning experience. Beyond the core math and English, my daughters explored foreign languages, engaged in hands-on science experiments, expressed creativity through arts and crafts, learned practical financial literacy, honed critical thinking, practiced public speaking, and even delved into food science. This broad curriculum fosters well-rounded individuals, cultivating creativity, social-emotional skills, independence, and self-sufficiency. From early morning drop-offs to a meticulously planned daily schedule, their summer program truly is a well-oiled machine. I'm incredibly thankful I discovered Data when seeking an academic-driven, reputable, and trustworthy after-school program for my eldest. She has since graduated high school as an Eagle Scout, a member of the National Honor Society, most valued Chief Editor of her school paper, a Tournament of Roses Ambassador, and a Women of Impact Award Honoree, among numerous other citywide recognitions. I truly believe Data played a significant role in shaping the remarkable person she is today. Data for Children is a family-run business, and they extend that family warmth to every child and parent. The leadership team are not just personable and welcoming, they are exceptional listeners. Their open-door policy truly means you can drop in for a chat about any concerns or suggestions. I've offered a couple of suggestions over the years, and I was always impressed by how seriously they considered and often implemented feedback. This dedication to continuous improvement, from program enhancements to facility safety, truly sets them apart. I highly recommend Data for Children to any parent seeking an after-school and summer program that prioritizes academic growth, holistic development, safety, and a genuine sense of community. They are simply outstanding. read more

I was a student there once a upon a time. Grammar lessons, math supplemental materials always gave me a leg up on my classmates in regular school. Data for Children gave me a great headstart academically, and I would recommend it to anyone wanting their kids to improve in their studies. Great summer field trips during the summer program. Lifelong memories. read more

I'm grateful for my boy's after-school program. They are truly on top of their academics and create a supportive, structured environment that helps them stay focused and confident. The staff consistently monitor their grades and are proactive about addressing any concerns or areas for improvement, which I really appreciate as a parent. I also love that so many of our friends trust this program enough to send their own kids. It really says a lot. The way they prepare the kids for exams is organized and effective, and I've seen a real improvement in my boy's performance and confidence. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a program that genuinely cares about both academic growth and overall development. Thank you Steve, Stephanie, Patricia and Mrs. Kwan read more

My child's academics have improved since being enrolled here. Staff is very professional and courteous . My child is also attending the summer program and he loves it . read more

Both my son and daughter went and my daughter still go here (son graduated). This school has been the core center of my kid's world. They love it here and the way they watch over their students is incomparable to other places. They treat their students like their own. Each and every one of them which is very amazing considering how many students they have. Each classroom is small and the kids get the needed 1:1 support if needed. I would highly recommend this afterschool. I just wished their waiting list was a little shorter! I have lots of coworkers and friends on the list and is still waiting to get in. read more

Our son has been at Data during school year for 2 years- kinder & first grade. I feel appreciative of their monthly package it shows us the level of consistency that the kids receive academically. My boy has nice hand writing ,grammar and math skill has been improving thanks to the teachers at Data and at his school. I'm glad to be able to send him here and know he gets his homework done and more! read more

My middle school just started a private tutoring program 3 months ago. When she started her grade in language art grade is between C+ and B, after attending tutoring, her grade has been improved dramatically. I got to get to know the staff on a personal basis, The staff/teacher will work on a program to cater to your student needs. When the kid missed an assignment or concern with the student, the staff bring it to your attention immediately. I highly recommend this place to anyone. read more

Data For Children - Tutoring Centers Near Me - San Gabriel, California

What can I say about Data for Children besides it is the best place around in my opinion if you are looking for an educational childcare after school program. When my kids started Data, they were in grades K and 6th. I had tried many different programs with my older child, but they all had the same issue. They weren't helping the kids improve academically. Where other programs just check to see if the assignments are done, Data assists my kids with their work, and instructs them when they run into problems. Extended learning is also provided to introduce and prepare the children for the next grade level. I saw drastic improvements in both my children within a month. Aside from academics, my youngest was subjected to very socialization due to the pandemic. The staff at Data were exceptional at helping with social and behavioral difficulties that a Kindergartener would have. It was very easy to communicate with the staff on what we felt our kids needed extra attention with. Some programs do not like when parents try to have too much input, but Data is more like a community and family. The facility itself is very welcoming. My kids love the displays and decorations, while I love the multiple classrooms and workspace for children. I believe each grade has its own classroom and teacher assigned which is nice. The school was already clean, but with the pandemic, there is frequent sanitizing and health check prior to entering, which gives me that little extra reassurance of my kids well being. Lastly, Data is kid approved. Never before have my kids been at home asking when they get to go back to school. With Data, they can't wait to go back after the weekend. I am a 15 - 20 minute drive to Data from my kids elementary school, but it is well worth the time and drive. I wish I found Data earlier when my oldest was much younger. Thank you to the Staff at Data for doing the best for my kids!!! read more

This review is base off when I was a teacher at Data for Children. Steve and Stephanie are wonderful and love what they do. They are strict and able to keep the environment safe and organized for the children's. They are both great with the children's and all the kids loves them. Environment- The environment is clean and decorated with lots of Disney items. Each grade is separated in different rooms and they don't over pack the class to ensure a better learning environment. The back room has a huge tv and snack bar where the children's could purchase snacks. Program- The program consist of homework help/completion and correction from the teacher during the first hour and the other 2 hours will be academic practice from a work book. They also offer private one-on-one tutoring for k-8 and high school students. During the summer they offer a summer program that consist of field trips and other fun activities. School Pick ups- They offer local school pick ups with an additional fee. This is so convenient for parents that have to work. Hours-Mon-Fri 10:00 am-6:30 pm, Saturday 9:00 am-3:30 pm. I highly recommend Data for Children and would definitely refer any of my friends & family that needs an after school or summer program. You won't be disappointed if you send your child here. You will notice improvements with their grade and reports and you will see them excel beyond their grade level. read more

My kids went to Data for after school, but we were there only for a month before the lockdown. We decided to return for the summer program. We love it, the staffs are wonderful and very accommodate to our need. They took care of our kids. Kids are in small study group less than 5 students. We really happy with the result. My boy used to hate writing, he was able to write paragraphs and paragraphs. I was going over the homework with them and very happy with result and workbook activities. read more

See all

If I could give more than 5 stars I totally would. Data for children has been a lifesaver for our family especially during this pandemic with both parents being full-time employed. My son has been going for two years now, he started last year as a kindergartner. Data for children has been extremely helpful not only just for academics but also for improving my sons behavior and habits. They are consistent, firm, yet they really care about the student and are willing to go far and beyond to help the child. What impressed me the most is how communicative they are with the parents. they really embody the idea that we are partners in this journey and should work collaboratively to give our students the best outcome. Furthermore when I feel frustrated as a parent, not only they are patient with the students they are also patient with me. I always feel better after I have a talk with the staff. I can't thank them enough for what they have done for our family. Let me just add a couple of things. 1) we recently moved and staying close to data so my son can keep going was such a huge factor when considering where to move to. 2) I know ppl worry about the pandemic and whether it's safe to bring ur kids there. They take your temperature, enforce social distancing, disinfectant diligently, and not let outsiders even parents go inside. I feel very safe sending my child there. Highly recommended! read more

My daughter has attended Data for a couple of years now and enjoys it there every day after school. All the teachers & staffs are super friendly and works well with the kids. Since my daughter attended Data, I've noticed major improvements her grades and reports. She has excelled beyond her grade level and I'm so appreciative of Data. Aside with the great academic programs they have, they also offered pick ups from the schools for a fee. This is so convenient for parents that have to work. They also don't charge additional if you're late unlike other after schools. I highly recommend Data and would definitely refer any of my friends & family that needs an after school or summer program. read more

My kids are very well taken of here. They learn so much, sign up early, it gets full fast!

I wish there was an option to give Data more than 5 stars! Both of my boys attend Data and they have grown to be confident in their academics and more disciplined with their work. My younger son has gone from receiving D's in his tests to near perfect scores- The teachers and ladies are invested in the success of your children and want them to go beyond what your kids think they can do. They are so encouraging and really care for each child that attends. Communication is also amazing! They're only a text away. If you're worried about sending your kids in the midst of the pandemic, Data sanitizes throughout the day and there are temperature checks before each student enters the building. They also deep clean after closing and masks are worn during the day except for lunch. My oldest son has different allergies as well as asthma and I know that he is in the best hands while I am at work. Please don't hesitate and give them a call! Your child will thank you:) read more

I normally dont write reviews but for this place I am long over due. My son has been coming here for about 3 years now (since he was in 3rd grade). Data and their staff members have been doing a great job helping him. He's been getting the help that he needs to do better in school. I also decided to enroll my daugther in Data's afterschool program when she started 1st grade, she is currently in 2nd grade. What I love about DATA. 1. Data's staff members gives them the one on one attention when they are falling behind or not understanding a certain subject. 2. I like when I can send/receive text from Data with any concern I have or any concern they have. There is no place compared to the quality that we receive here at Data, they are the best afterschool program that my kids have been to. read more

We could not be more thrilled in deciding to go with Data for Children to help facilitate my son's (1st grade) virtual learning. As working parents, we would not be able to give him the undivided attention and support that Data has given him. They are extremely attentive and thoughtful in their ways. It's also a bonus that they are Chinese literate (dual mandarin program). They are seriously a godsend for us during this pandemic! Thank you! read more

My boy started going to DATA since 2nd grade and it's been 4 years now. DATA is not only helping him to improve the homework/academic areas, but also caring about the behavioral development to make sure he is responsible and disciplined. I am really grateful that they are still open during the pandemic. It is a great help for the working parents, and as well as to let the kids to see the 'real' people and get some social life. Like other parents mentioned, DATA sanitizes the facility throughout the day and all the kids have to wear masks. We feel very safe sending him over. I highly recommend this place to all the parents. read more

We're very fortunate to have found this place! Data makes it possible for us working parents to continue working and supporting our children's online learning during this Pandemic. My son returned to Data when it re-opened last summer and without them I'm not sure if we would've kept our sanity or our jobs. The owners and teachers are extremely supportive and they care about the kids and their families. They follow safety protocols and we feel very confident in sending our children here. Thank you Data for Children! read more

Data's Team are doing a phenomenal job stepping up to enrich my kids education inside/outside the virtual classroom. This helped bring up the speed from the in-person and classroom learning loss. The teachers there go above and beyond to help with their homework and ensure they participate with class activity throughout the day. The staff at data will always let my kids stay longer to complete difficult assignment so all homework are turned in before the end of the day. Communication is a key factor and the staff always keep me in the loop on their academics and help reach out to their classroom teachers. I never have to worry about my kids missing an assignment or falling behind in class. I am confident to send both my kids to Data for Children and grateful for their support. Thank you for your passion for teaching. A shout out to Mr. Wu and Ms. Joey!! read more

My son started attending at data for children since he was five years old and now he is in the high school. All the teachers are nice and responsibly. They take care of my son really good. It is a great place to send your child to learn. read more

My kids have been in Data for a long time, very happy with the program they have and I can see my kids grades are awesome, couldn't ask for more how happy to be able to put my kids there. Highly recommended. Thank you Data, Uncle Steve and Mrs. Stephanie. read more

My kids attend Data after school program since they were in 1st grade and kinder and they are now going to 6th and 4th grade. They love the teachers and the staff there. Their after school program will make sure the homework is done and checked before they come home, which is great for parents that are working and when they come home they don't have to worry about the kid's homework. They are also enhancing the kids academically in math, reading and writing. My kids hate writing but in Data, with the teacher's help, they will do writing. It is impossible for me to make my kids love writing. Thanks to Data they know how to write properly which is important in the future. Data helps the kids to live in a structured program with consistency to make them feel safe and secure. During this Covid-19, they have a summer program that sharpen the kids skills in math, reading and writing to prepare them for the next grade class. They are given daily homework and being checked the following day by the teacher. They will go over the homework for any mistakes and make sure the kids understand it. Overall, I am blessed and grateful for Data as my kids after school program. They are truly compassionate with the kids to grow academically and make sure they are growing in the safe environment . read more

A great after-school for kids. I got recommendations from my sister, and she truly is right about the school. It motivates my son, and he improve his skills across the board, reading, math, analytical skills, etc. For that, my son did achieve a couple awards from his elementary school. Thank you to all teachers at Data for Children! read more

My kids have been attended Data for years! All the staff members are very professional and knowledgeable. I never have to worry about my kids' grade. If they are not doing well in school, the principal will get the family involve right away. If you are looking for a school to advance your kids' knowledge, Data will be a great school to consider! read more

I cannot describe how amazing Data is! My son has been with them since first grade to now (eighth grade). He is graduating and will no longer be with the Data but I wanted to take the time to talk about how great this after school program is. From all the years that my son has been with Data, they have never disappointed me. The staff and teachers are all so wonderful, kind, patient, and specifically, they want what's best for their students. My son excelled in school because of their help and I am so grateful for everything they have done. I would definitely recommend Data to anyone that is looking for an after school program. read more

Two grandchildren and this place is fully equity for a learning experience like no other!!!

My son attended the summer program and the afterschool program at Data for a little over a year now and I have to say that I am very happy with the programs. This place is a godsend for working parents who care about their kids' education. It has only opened for about two years and the facilities are clean, bright, happy and kid friendly and, hallelujah, wired with security cameras! During the school year, Data offers an academic oriented afterschool program for grade school kids. Data can arrange for the kids to be picked up from the nearby schools and brought to the center for a very reasonable fee. From Monday to Thursday between 3:00 and 4:00, there will be supervised homework time and a teacher will check the homework and provide assistance if needed. There will then be two 10-minute recess and two 50-minute lessons and the day will end around 6:00. Last year, for my son's first grade class, there were Reading Comprehension, Phonics, Math, Writing and Grammar Usage. Every Friday, there will be a weekly test and every month, my son would bring home a packet with the work his had done during the month and his test results. The director of the center, Miss Stephanie, is very helpful and accommodating. She knows all the kids well. When my son first started coming to the center, his school used a different curriculum and my son was feeling overwhelmed. He had certainly gotten a lot of individualized attention that helped him to catch up and become comfortable in the program. There were plenty of opportunities for feedbacks and Miss Stephanie had always been available to discuss any questions or concerns I had. All the teachers were California qualified teachers. My son said the teachers were strict (more so than his regular school's teachers) but he still liked them. In the summer, Data runs a summer program that is mainly academic but also includes arts, Chinese and weekly field trips (to places like Underwood Family Farm, Ethan Canyon, NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, Soak City, Pasadena Ice Skating Center, Boomers, John's Incredible Pizza, etc.) Although the classes won't start until 9:00, Miss Stephanie and Uncle Stevo would open up the center bright and early (maybe around 7:30? I am not sure. I usually get there between 8:00-8:30) so the parents could drop off their kids and still make it to work early. This is another good thing about them. They never nickle and dime you about early drop-off or late pickup. During the summer, lunch (pizza, fried chicken, Chinese food, sandwich, depending on the day of the week) can be purchased. There is a game room with cool air hockey tables and hoops that is used to reward kids who do or behave well. My son would always come home and tell me about it (with great pride) if he got to go to the game room for the day. They also have an amazing collection of DVDs that they will play for the kids when they are waiting to be picked up or before classes begin. Sure I would love it if Data has gym or a playground that the kids can get some exercise during recess or if has a little more fruits and vegetables incorporated in the lunch selections in the summer (whether my son will eat them is a whole other matter). But for what it is and what it offers, Data is at the top of the game. I have checked out about a dozen similar after-school programs in the area before signing my son up at Data and I am really happy with my decision. Today will be the last day my son goes to Data because we are transferring to a school that will be too far to come here after school. My son was a little sad about it when he found out and wished that he would continue to come Data after school or at least for the summer . I was surprised because when I first signed him up a year ago, he often complained about all the work he had to do at Data after school. I thought it is quite an achievement that the kids actually like to come here and learn. To think that my son will pick Data over Tom Sawyer Camp, Data must be doing something right. The sizable parking lot and plentiful street parking in front make the pick up and drop off easy. They also have a little book shop that has a great collection of workbooks that is open to public. Did I mention that other than the winter break, Data stayed open all year round. Like I said, a godsend for working parents. read more

Completely agree with T S. from Pasadena. She couldn't have said it better!!! I'm actually at work right now so I can't get into too much detail about this afterschool but I truly agree with the "GOD SENT" part. I love this afterschool. It's everything I could ask for and an amazing place for my son. And of course.. does my son like this place?... YES yes and YES! You can tell he likes it better than his morning elementary school. You can truly tell they care about each and every one of their kids/students. LOOOOOVE it. read more

Super thankful we got a spot for my daughter here at Data 5 years ago. Now even my son goes to Data. I love how they know how to discipline the kids and at the same time make their way to do activities for them to enjoy. They are really focus with academics and monitors their assignments and grades. Ms. Stephanie is so hands on that she even comes to me to talk about my daughters grades. Highly recommend Data for Children. read more

I would like to thank each and every staff member of DATA For Children.. my son Noah was having difficulty at school and focusing on classwork, but the minute I walked in to enroll him for summer school, he immediately loved it and was really excited! The teachers were very patient with my son, helping him adjust and focus more. My son told me that he would rather go to DATA than his regular school! I love that they are firm with the rules so kids learn to abide, but also they are really good in rewarding when good behavior is seen. Having my Noah at DATA really made it so convenient for me as they have flexible pick up times and lunch menus available. You guys are amazing! No wonder my Noah loves it there! Keep up the great work, and I look forward to many more years with you all! Thank you! I will definitely recommend DATA as the BEST after school and summer school program! read more

My daughters started attending Data for Children this schoolyear. My 4th grader attends the afterschool program and my 6th grader is receiving tutoring services on Saturdays. I must say in a short period of time, Data has helped my kids with their academic performance. My lil one tells me she feels confident taking tests and she understands the lessons better. Data for Children staff are so nice, attentive and always keeps the parents updated with their kids' progress. It is also very affordable for the quality of service you and your kids receive. If you want your kids to excel, go to Data! I highly recommend this program! read more

A well kept afterschool that I can trust especially during a pandemic. The director is on top of things, and I'm grateful to have them help out my children! read more

Great helps me a lot especially during the pandemic for a full time worker family . Reasonable and affordable tuition.

Called this location to find out more about the availability, types of programs and services being offered and was fortunate to speak to Ms. Kwan. She was so helpful and without a hint of judgement and a tremendous amount of patience- she helped answer my questions, one by one! I couldn't help but to think that if everyone at this center is as helpful, knowledgeable and sincere as Ms. Kwan that the children must excel at exponential rates! My only hesitation about their program was that Mandarin isn't offered year-round and only during the summer camps. read more

My brother has been going to DATA for about 2 years now and he has improved in his academics. They give him the attention and help he needs for completing his homework assignments and any concepts that he may struggle in. The teachers and supervisors there are all super friendly and take really great care of him. So glad we were given the opportunity to send him there compared to any other after school programs. read more

My girl has been data after school for couples years, teachers and staffs are very friendly and helpful. My girls got improved a lots , I'm so appreciate Data help out my girl. read more

I highly recommend Data for Children for after school program. The staff are very friendly and instructors very helpful. My son has improved so much in math and language art ever since he attended this wonderful after school program. My son completes all his math and language art homework there so I don't need to worry about them when he gets home. In addition, I find it extremely helpful that his instructors explain the mistakes he makes in his homework. This is definitely a great environment for kids to learn and get help. read more

This is a good after school program for those of us who can't spend time picking up our kids and help them with their homework.

I'm writing this on behalf of being a previous student. I've spent almost 6 years at data with 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and finishing with my final 8th summer. It's an amazing experience with the teachers being easy to talk to and relate able. The teachers are experienced and are extremely patient and will definitely help your kid strive. The after school program provides time for the kids to do their homework, whilst providing their own curricular workbooks. There are breaks in between classes so that students aren't overloaded and can take a breather. The owners are extremely nice and helpful and will take the time to make sure your kid gets the work done right. Data for Children's summer school program is a fun experience. They take you to amazing places such as John's Incredible Pizza, Lazer Island, Soak City, Knotts Berry Farm, and etc. There are also academic trips like farms and museums and sorts. During summer school, the students are provided workbooks that include math, Language arts, and Reading Comprehension. The students are provided with a lunch that they can keep coming for more until they're full. (unless they run out, unlikely) There's a very big tv that plays movies for the kids after lunch and after all the classes end. Data has an entire shelves(around two shelves) of movies that the kids can watch. 90% of the movies are PG to G. PG-13 are only played when only older kids are around so you don't have to worry about that. The summer school program opens as early as 7:30 in the morning, so you can drop your kids off as early as that. Ok thats all I have for now. read more
