My son talked me into attending this school instead of Haverhill High…read more I was reluctant at first concerned about the image of a "vocational" school. I was pleasantly surprised that the image vocational schools are given is way off the mark Not only was he allowed hands on exploratory work in about 9 fields, he was evaluated according to his interests and learning style. The teachers are strict and the administration tolerates little They expect the kids to show up and show up on time. They let the parents know everything that is going on with the student ...if they're late, absent . If your child is out of school, they follow up and expect a reason. The kids are expected to behave, keep their noses clean and respect each other What I like about the school is that they prepare them for real world. They don't baby them My son was OSHA and "WORK READY" certified and will be going on COOP in a job in his field The only down side is the lack of resources for the kids in the form of guidance. I know the guidance counselors are trying but there are no programs in the Freshman year that guide, inspire and assist the students to think of college as a possibility -not on a grand scale anyway I was in constant contact regarding the COOP programs and they seem to be in a rut, relying on a few employers for the jobs instead of trying to get as many employers on board as possible to expose the kids to all kinds of work in their field My son has had to get me involved in order to get something done or nothing gets done at all. The guidance counselors know whose parents are involved and whose aren't. So if a kid has the misfortune of having parents who don't get involved or give a crap, they have little voice If you have your child attend here, you won't be sorry. Really The teachers can be quite awesome and the administration will not tolerate a slack teacher The kids come out independent and ready to work. Just make sure you get to know your guidance counselor well and don't think that if your kid can't get the resources he needs to look beyond high school by himself, its automatically it is their fault. You have to push a bit

I must admit that I had reservations about sending my daughter here. When I was a teenager,…read moreWhittier was the place where all of the misfits were sent. However, the school has made quite a transformation in the past 20+ years. It is highly regarded as one of the top academic institutions in the area. As an educator, I want a top quality education for my child, and I've certainly found it here at Whittier.

My son has been going to RSM advanced for the last 3 years. Its an excellent program. I consider…read morethis program to be one of the few perks for living in MA. Teachers are dedicated, sincere and truly care about a student's well being. Being a first generation American, I have tasted the advantages of knowing and applying math in my day to day work life. I have also found the math taught in public schools in this country to be a joke compared to the math kids in other countries do. If your child has an aptitude for math, RSM is the only game in town. RSM's unique advantage is also its biggest disadvantage. Because of the unique approach they have taken which requires a one on one interaction between the teacher and student, the model cannot be scaled on a large scale through out the US like other institutions like Kumon (whose quality IMHO is way way...lower). What they need to figure out now, is a way to spread this through out the US ***without compromising quality*** so future generations have a true shot at getting a high quality math education.

Sullivan Tutoring was recommended to us for SSAT prep by a guidance counselor at a local private…read morehigh school and we have been thrilled with them in every way. Scott and Becky are fabulous and our daughter has enjoyed working with both of them. Her score increased tremendously and we are highly impressed. They taught her strategies for taking this specific test and focused on both her strengths and weaknesses. We recommend Sullivan Tutoring without hesitation and will 100% use them in the future for SAT prep when the time comes or if other tutoring needs arise. They are an important tool in our education toolbox! Thank you Scott and Katie for everything you have done to help our daughter and for making the tutoring process such a positive experience.

If I could give negative stars, I would. I have family that works at PLC (in the baby room. Do not…read moresend your child unless they are an infant room) My 4/5 year olf son absolutely HATES attending this Daycare. I got stuck in a hard place and was forced to keep my son here until Kindergarten. Terrible Director, Maureen and accounting, Catherine. These people charged me a $50 late fee on a $9 over due balance. It smells like a dirty diaper and they dont treat the kids very good. Stay away!

We have been with PLC for almost 5 years and have been very happy with them. Like all childcare…read morecenters they have hiccups, they are human after all; but Maureen and the teachers are great about communicating if/when you bring up any needs/concerns. We were very lucky that even during the midst of Covid they were able to stay open and had very few cases, (my kids never got it). When looking for childcare location and price are of course high priority, we were extremely pleased to find that PLC was significantly less expensive than other facilities and even some home settings. Even with the economy the way it is, they have tried very hard to stay reasonable.

We love everything about Mudpies & Make Believe - especially the staff. My eldest son who is now in…read morekindergarden still MISSES mudpies and his teacher. My youngest has been at Mudpies since birth and gets excited everyday at drop-off. He jumps into the arms of the teachers and turns to me to say "bye mama"! It really is the best feeling in the world that our kids love where they spend a lot of their time during the week. They learn so much - always different activities! Also, it is very important to us that our kids play outside everyday and to learn about the environment around them. We love that Mudpies values how important it is for kids to be outside. I really can't say enough good things about Mudpies and most importantly about the staff. I NEVER worry about my kids in their care. They feel like our extended family. The heart of Mudpies is an excellent team of enthusiastic and loving staff.

Both of my kids went here (now in 5th and 2nd grade) and I cannot rave about this place enough. My…read moreson went here for 3 years and they molded him into a child who loves learning. He was taught structure and discipline and manners while having fun with his friends! The teachers are fabulous and friendly and really have a way of making their lessons fun. All of the children feel included and loved. My daughter went to a public preschool for 1 year and it was a nightmare! She didn't learn much and the teachers couldn't be bothered to engage her. Once I placed her into WOW I saw a huge transformation in a matter of weeks. She thrived. Not placing my daughter in WOW from day one was my stupidity. I was trying to save money and it was a huge regret. You get what you pay for. This place is amazing. They do not have a large turn over because the staff is dedicated and never leave. It's refreshing. My kids often talk about WOW and like to browse through their memory books. Every child graduates every year and it's incredible. The kids feel so special and it's a nice way to acknowledge all of their accomplishments and achievements.

First thing to know - get on the waiting list as soon as possible! The owner, Ms. Diane, has been doing this for decades, and her expertise shines through. Everything is so thoughtfully curated by her knowledge of the Reggio Emilia philosophy. My daughter has truly flourished regarding her curiosity, imagination, and creativity over this school year. For me, the lesser hours and fewer school days is a worthwhile swap. I can't express enough just how grateful I am for the experience that my child has had this year at Children's Corner.
