The materials are excellent and the additional activities Martha adds to supplement the curriculum are fun and stimulating. Thanks to Language Synergy, I was able to communicate confidently with everyone I encountered during several recent trips to Spanish-speaking countries. Two of those trips were with Martha and other Language Synergy students. The trips were fantastic! They were well-planned and provided many opportunities to connect with locals, learn about their cultures and utilize our new language skills. Language Synergy provides a variety of options for students of all ages and backgrounds, offering private lessons as well as small group or semi-private classes, each at the pace required by the student. Whether you require Spanish language skills for business purposes or desire to learn for personal reasons, Language Synergy can meet your needs in a comfortable, friendly setting designed to accommodate your schedule and requirements.

SITTER EXPERIENCE PRIOR: Sitter 1: Generally unreliable,…read moresuspected neglect/abuse at one point. Sitter 2: Awesome, but moved away after a few months Sitter 3: Wanted to take my daughter to go pick her sister up from the airport on day one and hang out with her sister. Couldn't understand why we were uncomfortable with that. Sitter 4: NCNS first two days I was done with it. Tired always wondering if we'd have a sitter and what condition my daughter would come back in. Enter Bright Horizons. We had toured the Chandler facility when my daughter was only 4 or so months old. They didn't have openings. I called in after the whole debacle above and they luckily had an opening in the Infant room (daughter 11mo at this point). We immediately enrolled. I knew I liked the place but I didn't know how much. Here are some highlights. * They take pictures throughout the day of your little ones - super nice. * They have a running log of what your little one does all day - down to how much they eat - super nice. * They have a plan for developing your little one such as music days, art days, etc. - super nice. * They help your little one develop in areas they need development. For my daughter she needed help eating more solid foods and they've got her eating more solids than we have ever gotten her to (maybe it is peer pressure of other kids, I dunno) - super nice. * They always seem staffed and share kids that are transitioning from one room to another. * They will abide by your special requests such as dietary. They have a nice selection of foods for the little ones to meet your special requests or their special needs - super nice. In short, I feel very fortunate to have been able to enroll here. And on a side note - God Bless those gals in the Infant room. They take all the crying in stride and still smile.

My family recently moved from Denver where our oldest son was attending a really amazing charter…read moreschool and had maintained a 4.0 GPA. We were concerned about getting him into an equally dedicated school here in the valley. And we were lucky enough to find Paragon. The ladies in the office were more than helpful when I stopped by to get details on enrollment. Once my son was accepted to Paragon and I had the opportunity to meet his teacher, I was overjoyed to learn that she had obtained her Masters in Elementary Education and was starting her 9th year at Paragon. Obviously the teachers are educated and dedicated. As a parent, I can't ask for anything more to guide my child and shape his mind. Thank you, Paragon Science Academy. We are looking forward to a wonderful academic season! Sincerely, Kendra Morrow

Since the first day we entered into the great universe that is PLA, you have continued to amaze us with your outstanding commitment and excellence. Each and every teacher who has been with our daughter has been fantastic. Each has enriched the lives of our kids and made an impact. All positive. All impressive. All heart, all the time. The place you have created is far more than a preschool. It is an epicenter of genuine joy, of important life lesson, and love. To try to describe the level of devotion your staff shows would be an understatement, and to attempt to say thank you would be the same. Now my daughter graduated PLA and start kindergarten.Based on what she learned at PLA, She is doing very well at kindergarten classes. She is so many happy memories at PLA and she missing PLA familys(teachers, friends). If you looking to Preschool for your loved one, I'll strongly recommend at PLA.

If I could give minus 10 stars, I would gladly do it!…read more We enrolled our son at Premier Learning Academy in May, after carefully researching various kindergartens. We chose this one because we believed it would help our son, an only child, develop social skills and build relationships with other children. The advertised advanced curriculum also appealed to us, and we trusted the institution to deliver on its promises. Initially, everything seemed great. We loved his teacher, Ms. Jules, who was exceptional. She helped our child stay focused and engaged. Unfortunately, she eventually left due to issues with the administration, which was deeply disappointing. She was replaced by another teacher, who, in my opinion, is unqualified and lacks the necessary pedagogical training. This teacher had no authority over the children and failed to manage them effectively. Soon after, my child's behavior changed drastically. He began mimicking negative behaviors like spitting, kicking, and scratching--things he clearly learned from the environment at the kindergarten. It was shocking because these behaviors were entirely new and inconsistent with how he was raised at home. Instead of addressing these issues constructively, the teacher and the deputy director resorted to blaming my child for his "terrible behavior." Their approach was appalling. They subjected my son to what I can only describe as moral harassment. When I addressed these issues in writing, they ignored my concerns and continued to single out my child. He became withdrawn and tearful, refusing to talk about what was happening at school. Daily messages from the teacher accused my son of hitting, kicking, or spitting, even though he denied these incidents at home--and at 3.5 years old, it's hard for him to lie convincingly. Adding to the frustration, whenever I asked about injuries on my son's face, the staff's response was always, "No one saw anything." It seemed that they only noticed my son's actions when he tried to defend himself. The situation escalated further when the teacher and director resorted to punitive measures, such as taking my son to the office for "explanatory conversations." It's unacceptable for adults to try to reason with a 3.5-year-old in this way, especially when it's clear he was already under immense stress. Instead of helping, they made matters worse. One Friday, after enduring another day of this mistreatment, my son was so emotionally drained that he fell asleep on my lap and slept for 13 hours straight. This level of exhaustion and stress is heartbreaking and entirely unacceptable for a child. Things continued to deteriorate over the next few weeks. Every day brought new accusations about my son's behavior, which only made it clearer that this environment was toxic for him. We finally decided to withdraw him from the kindergarten. Although their policy required a two-week notice, the administration insisted we remove him immediately, further demonstrating their unwillingness to work with parents or prioritize the well-being of the child. We enrolled our son as a happy, well-mannered child, and we left with a child who was distressed, misbehaving, and mimicking the inappropriate actions he learned at Premier Learning Academy. Another shocking observation was how poorly the children were cared for during nap time. The kids were made to sleep in their shoes, which is both unhygienic and uncomfortable. If a child didn't want to sleep, they were forced to lie down and wait. Unlike Ms. Jules, who used to engage with non-sleeping children through activities like drawing or reading, this teacher simply ignored them, often spending time on her phone instead of providing care. This review is long because the level of unprofessionalism, negligence, and bullying--towards both my child and myself as a parent--was staggering. Advice: Stay far away from this kindergarten. While the decision is yours, I wouldn't wish our experience on anyone.

My granddaughter was having difficulty with Math on her ACT. I contacted the Ray Rd Chandler…read morelocation and spoke to the director Dave.

When she started kindergarten, her teacher made multiple comments about how much she already knew and how "ahead" she was in reading and so many other areas. This was all Carebear- I can't take credit for any of it!

Small class sizes give teachers and other faculty members the opportunity to understand and meet your child's individual needs. Learning at Gethsemane doesn't just happen in the classroom or in a text book. Our teachers use outside the book activities, acts of service, exercises and technology to engage growing young minds. Throughout their educational experience at GLS those young minds and souls are nourished with the word of the Lord.
