I enrolled my baby brother to reading town last summer. I had to ask a lot of questions to see if…read morethe place would be a good fit (not just in terms of their programs, but also the teachers and environment --these were huge determining factors for us because my brother takes time adjusting to new environments). The staff was very helpful and took their time to explain all the programs. They were also extremely knowledgeable when gauging my brother's level and learning tendencies. He's five now and knows all his phonics, sight words and can even read simple sentences!! I'm so glad he joined RT because now he has a head start, and hopefully will have an easier time when school starts!

I can't believe it. My son's choices of reading material have broadened as well. I wasn't sure we should spend the extra money but I'm really glad we did - it was well worth the investment. The staff was great and very helpful at answering any of my questions.

After looking at several houses for sales, I asked my realtor to drop me off at the ice rink which is my daughter's most favorite activity. We passed by the Peninsula Academy. I told my wife this is a great place for our daughter to enrich her English. Kay Lee, the deputy director of the academy was there, she was extremely helpful and listened to me on our needs. She recommended Kathy Kerstein as my daughter's English teacher. We moved our family on July 28, 2017. It's a Friday. My daughter Yiyi started Kathy's one to one class for the whole summer and once-twice a week during the school year. Apparently, she did extremely good at her ENGLISH LEARNER'S class. She moved on with Kathy's help, she got into Stanford's summer school, UCSB Research Mentoring Program. From a Chinese speaking little girl, hardly can speak a full paragraph to a young adult commanding her English In three and half years. My daughter, applied for colleges this year, she got admitted for UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, UCSD. For private institutions, she got Harvey Mudd (finalist for President's Scholarship, she declined), Columbia University and Caltech. She accepted the offer from Caltech and will be the 2025 class of Caltech. Kathy Kerstein is a great teacher, she is always available and ready to help, I would like to thank the Academy for all the supports. Chung

I honestly can't say enough great things about BriteMinds in Palos Verdes. My 7-year-old son Beau…read moreis on the autism spectrum, and after trying several tutoring programs that just didn't connect, we finally found the right fit. From day one, I knew this place was different. Agnes, the owner, is warm and thoughtful, and Claire, who works one-on-one with Beau, is patient, fun, and truly understands how to support him. What stood out the most? They learned Beau loved Spider-Man and had Spider-Man items waiting for him on his very first day. That thoughtful gesture made him feel safe, seen, and excited to come back. Since starting, Beau has grown tremendously--not only in reading, writing, and math, but in confidence and social skills too. He wants to go to tutoring now, which is something I never thought I'd say! If you're searching for a tutoring center that genuinely connects with your child and fosters real growth, BriteMinds is it. We're so grateful we found them.

It is with a heavy heart that I write this review. I wanted so much to love this place. But after…read morejust shy of eight months there, I can definitely say I don't recommend it. Aside from the first couple of weeks there, I never felt welcome as a parent at World Tots LA. I always felt rushed out when I dropped my son off, who started there at 12 months old. I would be reprimanded for dropping my son off past 9:30am. My husband works in the port and has odd hours and sometimes would only get to spend extra time with our son in the mornings when he got home. They didn't care. Despite our paying for the care, I was constantly reprimanded and given snide comments for dropping him off after 9:30. We asked the director if this was required and she said it was recommended, but apparently this wasn't relayed to the staff, who told me constantly it was a requirement. A teacher even yelled at us a few times, or raised her voice, saying that if we brought him after 9:30, we shouldn't bring him at all. My son would often come home dirty. Dried food or snot on his face. When voicing concerns, we were often met with a condescending tone from the teachers or the director. Not all of the teachers. But unfortunately, the ones who would listen and seemed to truly care were few and far between. I felt snubbed. I read the good reviews about this place. I hoped for the best. I eventually felt like I would walk on eggshells and try to be as nice as possible because I didn't want to risk anyone being unkind to my son. But we left. It wasn't worth it. Especially when there are other daycare centers in the area that are competitively priced with good programs and kind staff. I only regret not leaving sooner and hoping things would improve. The week before we left, my husband picked up my son from school with a bloodied face. He had gotten hurt on the playground, and we should have been called, but weren't. I don't know who has left these others reviews. I notice most of them are from 2,3 and 4 years ago or more. I am truly glad these families were happy with their care. I do wish I could say the same. As a fellow parent, I beg you to please look at all your options and do your research. This place has a good location, but there are also other good options in Pedro. I hesitated to write this review, but I feel like if I was being treated rudely, other parents were too, and that breaks my heart. It is so hard to leave your child in daycare as it is, and to deal with these additional stresses, it's just more than a parent should have to take. All the inspections done and what not don't take into account how the parents, the customers, are treated. And I just worry that if I'm not treated with respect and courtesy, my kid won't be either. You can find daycares' inspection results and other info here: http://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/Community-Care-Licensing/Facility-Search-Welcome Here's the info for World Tots LA: https://secure.dss.ca.gov/CareFacilitySearch/FacDetail/197400633 If anyone from the facility reads this, I beg of you, please, please make sure that the staff treats parents with the respect they deserve. We just want what is best for our kids.

Love, Love, Love Her! Actually, all the teachers are patient, kind and very welcoming! Especially the lovely Gal, who sits in the front.. Forgotten her name, Ameryah..I think. What a Gem! She knows the place inside out, and is always professional. Actually, it's because of Ameryah, that I signed my daughter up. They offer after school pick up and one to one Tutoring. I totally trust them to pick my kiddo up! The place has a family friendly welcoming environment. My only pet peeve is the restroom, while it's on the cleaner side, considering the high traffic of kids, it's a bit outdated and wish they had a fan in there! If you're looking for a one stop place for after school pick up, after school care, tutoring and Korean lessons... And on top of that, they offer Tae Kwon Do next door too! You can't beat that! Then DMA will be your 2nd home like it has become ours!

They truly take the time to understand each child's pace, strengths, and areas that need improvement. It doesn't feel like a one-size-fits-all approach at all. Our son feels supported rather than pressured, which has made a big difference in his confidence. He often tells us he likes the way the instructors explain things because they make concepts easier to understand. The reward system is also a huge motivator for him -- he's always excited to earn cards and works hard to reach his goals. A special thank you to Joey and Aileen. They carefully track his progress and regularly update us, which we really appreciate as parents. It's reassuring to know exactly where he stands and how he's improving. We're very grateful to have found this center and would definitely recommend it to other families looking for a structured yet encouraging math environment.
