I am a parent who has always tried to support my child's school, but after a deeply troubling and…read moremishandled situation, I feel compelled to speak out. My daughter came home with visible bruising, and as a concerned parent, I reached out immediately -- emailing the principal and administration and messaging the teacher, since it was discovered on a Friday and the school was closed over the weekend. I received no response. First thing Monday morning, I went to the school in person. Principal Barbara Leon was unavailable to speak with me. I met with Ms. Michelle, who listened and said she would try to gather information. She later called me back with very few answers and oddly asked that I not speak with any other parents about the incident. We then followed up in writing with Principal Leon, as well as administrators Julia Pease and Holly Oliver, requesting records and any available footage from the day of the incident. Again, we received no response. Instead of answers, we were met with a DCF report filed against our family -- and a visit from both police and a DCF officer. We were never contacted directly by the school with any findings or follow-up about what actually happened to our daughter. Adding to our frustration, Principal Barbara Leon sent a message to other parents stating the incident had been handled -- despite never once addressing or confronting us, the actual parents of the child involved. She took time to reassure others, but gave us no communication, no transparency, and no accountability. Aside from completely neglecting the incident, the way this was handled shows a serious failure in leadership and concern for student well-being. We are left with growing concerns about what the school may be trying to hide. As parents, we deserve the truth -- and above all, our children deserve to be safe.

The staff is great but we should have known on the very first day (when the other parents and the…read moreteacher barely acknowledged us) that this was not the right school for our daughter. She was treated very badly by the girls in her class, they were very mean and excluded her without even trying to get to know her. To the staffs credit, they did make an attempt to get the girls to interact & be more inclusive but you can't turn mean kids into nice ones. I ended up pulling her out. Horrible experience here. The students are rude and clicky. The two stars is for the staff and their efforts to make it right.

She is now looking forward to entering college, but more importantly actually has the skills to make it.

They really care about the children and it is evident each time I see or meet with anyone. From a very grateful parent!

My Realtor recommended me to take Gold Coast course to get my Real Estate Sales Associate license…read moreand I thank her for that. Because of the Coronavirus, I started the course in the actual classrooms but had to switch it to the online Webinars to continue with it. It is hard, I'm not gonna lie! But you learn so much! I had three professors (Mr. Tupacyupanqui, Mr. Walt Lesbirel and Mrs. Diane Skopas) and all of them where so helpful and full of knowledge! I still don't have my License but I know that thanks to them, I'm gonna do well!

LeVar Burton would be so proud of me...using my reading skillzz to give back to the community and…read morewhatnot. I went to RFB&D last night pretty exhausted from work (and Yelping.. let's not lie to ourselves). I was pretty dang scared about hopping into a booth and lending my voice to some books...but the staff was incredibly nice and joked around with me to make me feel more comfortable. When you get there, you can go into a couple booths to see what book you want to read from. They do a lot of K-12 textbooks, but there are also fiction, non-fiction, and special interest books as well. For the most part, you won't be the only voice on an entire book.. so a lot of the time, you're just picking up where someone else left off. I picked Social Psychology with all it's crazy and rather interesting viewpoints. I imagine there might be a time where you won't like any of the books in the booths.. but you've got to remember this is volunteer work. And who knows, you might get into something you never thought you'd like! The guy monitored me for the beginning but then left me alone for most of the recording, checking back when I needed help. You're pretty much master of the recording, so if you mess up a word (holy Moses.. Social Psych books should NOT be read aloud) you can go back and fix it. And there are always staff around in case you have any questions in the middle of recording. Sessions can run anywhere from an hour and a half to three hours. I got pretty engrossed in the material I was reading, so I was there for about 3 hours. They have sessions all day (9- 8:30pm) which I find convenient. You just have to call ahead and make an appointment so that they can accommodate you. The location is also very accessible. Very close to the Lechmere stop and less than 10 minutes from the Kendall stop. It's quite close to Cambridgeside Galleria as well. I will most definitely be back to volunteer! I signed up through Boston Cares, but you can also just call RFB&D straight out. OH! AND there is a section of books that you can take when you leave because they're all through with recording them. They even have business cards for volunteers so that you can recruit more people. Want mine? ;)

I started volunteering here a few months ago, and it has been one of the most fun and rewarding…read moreexperiences of my life! Volunteering is very flexible... basically you go in whenever you can. You get to read books that you wouldn't normally read and you're helping people! All of the people that work here are very sweet and are overjoyed when new people want to join.

At least go in for an orientation and check it out especially if you've ever enjoyed hearing yourself talk or enjoy reading.

They are there to help your child succeed. There is a tight knit group of support within the families of the students that go there. Everyone feels like family. And their new facility is beautiful. I would highly recommend Divine Academy to any parent with a child that has special needs. You won't regret it.
