My son has learned so much and made so many friends and the community of parents are welcoming and kind. When you walk in, the dazzling smiles of Dana, Lauren, and Athena greet you and your child by name and remember details about you and past conversations. Amber and Debbie made my son feel safe and taught him how to spell and write his name, the alphabet, cutting, etc. Brittany, Susie, and Mona interact with every child and you can just really tell how much each person at the school cares. When my other child is older this is the only preschool I would even consider.

Horrible experience with my son at this "school" (ie daycare). He had just turned 2 and had no…read moreformal school/daycare experience. He only attended two days a week for a few hours and the teacher would literally call me each time to pick him up because he was "having a bad day." He wasn't allowed to go to lunch (even though I was paying for it). Now, my son is very active and enthusiastic, but at 2 years old, looking back on it, he was just a baby! I pulled him out after 2 months, blaming it on Covid, when really I was just fed up with the way they treated both of us.

I took SueAnn's course for adults earlier this year. I signed up thinking it would be a "refresher"…read morecourse. To my shame, I realized that there was so much about etiquette that my Generation X crowd just never learned! From the proper way to shake hands to being a professional at the office, SueAnn is a wonderful teacher. As someone who worked in human resources for over a decade, I expected to be more knowledgeable about the office section but SueAnn's content surprised me. She even had tips about working remotely and the use of mobile devices in both personal and professional settings. One unexpected bonus our class received was being given a color analysis and learning which color clothing we look better in. We loved it! Where the course really comes alive is with the meal and dining section. We all learned SO much! She lets you ask questions and you will learn how to be either a rock star host or a good guest. I WISH that I had taken this course sooner. It's All About Etiquette offers many programs for children and teens. Parents, send your kids! Give your children a competitive advantage in life. These courses are worth every cent, especially when you consider that SueAnn has worked with many leading companies. It's a shame that proper etiquette and good manners are declining in society. With this program, you can learn new skills and brush up on what you have forgotten! Recommend!

My son took their ACT vs SAT diagnostic test this week. This 4 hour test is designed to determine…read morewhether the student does better on one test over the other. Since colleges take either one, it would be advantageous to take the one that the student scores better on. So based on this diagnostic, my son did better on the SAT which wasn't a total surprise to us. All this service is free. They do offer several options in improving your scores. They offer group help or individual tutoring. Looks like there are many options and pricing options. What I like about their service (other than test help) is that all their service is designed around the actual test dates. Also, they teach strategies on taking the test, which I'm almost certain will help my son. We were told average score increase for their students are around 150 points on the SAT. Some higher and some lower. Needless to say, my son is signed up for their program. I am very optimistic about this business helping my son perform his best. I will update once he's done with their program.

Ok so I can't review from a "normal" stand point because COVID threw a wrench into everything. My…read morereview is also from almost 2 years ago........but it literally eats at me. So I've decided to write this review and let it go. When I signed up for kumon COVID hadn't hit yet. They wanted first and last month payment. $600!!!! My son got to experience about 4 weeks of the learning center.....so another $300 Then COVID hit. The center did NOTHING to accommodate that. As in- they were still sending home the "booklets" aka more homework for my child, then having us drop them off and pick up more "homework". They did not allow getting reimbursed or allowing us to wait for the center to actually fully reopen. I lost $600 (2 months). I wasn't offered to wait for them to reopen. I wasn't offered a reimbursement. I was only offered to pick up booklets. Have my son sit at home and fight me on "homework" (which is why I signed up for Kumon in the first place. To avoid the pouts and negotiations. As you know your kids act differently with teachers and other adults than they do with you). I'd pick them up. Drive 30 mins back home. Spend Kumon homework time arguing, complaining, and pouting. Just to drive 30 more minutes to drop them off and pick up more Kumon "homework". I know COVID was unexpected and I know we all had to adjust. But I literally spent $900 to drive hours to pick up additional homework on many occasions. No, one on one. No one to help him. It was ridiculous. I just don't think Kumon is worth your money. You could save money literally printing up extra homework at home for your child to do. Save the $900!!!

From there it's lunch with friends followed by an activity.- such as art. You'll feel good when you walk in, while you're there, and when you leave - every time.

I'm a former teacher, now private teacher and academic coach for dozens of families in the community, and while I used to do ACT prep personally, I've stepped away from it because I think kids are far better served at SEC and under Nate Holzen's guidance. Nate (owner/CEO) is kind, compassionate, forthright, and knowledgeable in all-things-test prep and he has employed a variety of skilled tutors who are helpful and supportive. Not just in their subject matter but in test taking as well which is what kids really need. I have sent both my kids (and many of my students) to SEC knowing they'd get what they need there. They offer test prep in a variety ways, including Boot Camps, semi -private sessions, to full-on private, and in all subject matters on all the tests. SEC is affordable too. There are other test prep companies in town but this is unequivocally the place to send your kids!

Their adoption fees are very reasonable. They have a wonderful trainer that works with the dogs as well. Dogs go out on field trips, walks, and even visit senior center residents. I definitely recommend this organization.
