One thing we especially appreciate is how flexible and accommodating they have been with schedule changes. As a busy family, that level of understanding has made a huge difference for us. The tutors are professional, patient, and encouraging, and it's reassuring to know our child is working with caring, knowledgeable educators. The learning environment is calm, welcoming, and comfortable, which helps make tutoring a positive experience rather than something stressful. The front office staff has also been lovely--always friendly, helpful, and welcoming from the moment we walk through the door. We are grateful for the support Sylvan has provided and would highly recommend them to any family looking for a safe, professional, and nurturing place for their child to learn and grow.

She enjoys going (especially when she would run into friends who were attending the same time slot as her) and earning cards to purchase snacks and prizes. She has been going for about two years and we are happy with how she is doing in math so we signed up her younger sister (who has been going for about a year). Both our girls seem very confident in their math and we've referred many friends (who ended up signing up) to the Center. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, especially the Owner/Center Director, Revati. She is approachable, understanding and warm. You can tell that she wants to make math fun and approachable for the children. She also keeps parents informed on their child's progress by talking to you at pick up/drop off or letting you know that she's available to meet anytime if you need to speak with her regarding your child's progress. She also makes sure kids cross safely while walking in the crosswalk, to cross the street. I will continue to recommend Mathnasium to those looking for math assistance/practice for their child(ren).

What's worked for us is the structure: they binder system gives focused practice and a regimented program. We get progress updates so I know what she's working on and what she's proficient at.

Scheduling has been easy to work around sports and school, and their rewards system gives her a little extra motivation, she hasn't complained about going yet..

I'm familiar with their curriculum and teaching style so I became a proponent of their establishment and mission statement. You'll find other places trying to emulate their curriculum but because their curriculum is trademarked, nothing compares. Also, Ross and Brian are both OTs, so they're very knowledgeable in anatomy and physiology -- meaning, they understand the human body and its mechanisms. My son is now a Sponge and I see significant improvements with his fine and gross motor skills including but not limited to handwriting and cutting. He is ergonomically holding pens/pencils and scissors properly. Also he's got excellent trunk control --way better than mine! I highly recommend PMP. So worth every penny.

I had been thinking about putting my kid there for a while. then a sudden passing of my autistic…read morechild's father suddenly, made me postpone our first session until recently. Guess what, the Director of Lanies Learning and the school associated didn't really care about my kid learning Math. Even though it was a bit sketchy how they charged me more because I won a district settlement and charged me the "district rate" vs. the cheaper family rate, although both come with the same work involved. I questioned that at our final meeting. So here I come on the first day all the way from Piedmont to Concord, and I barely get a "hello" and no official introduction to anyone or condolences. I had to ask for a little sit down before my kid went the tutor. Then when I picked him up, I peaked at where she was having the tutoring of multi-sensory tutoring, and he was on the floor w/ many desks all around him, squished. When I brought this up to the Director in an email. She was so offended, she tore up my check she said and would give me that lesson for free. She apparently didn't like me questioning what I saw or what I expected from a "round up" after a first session. I was so excited too, but it seemed it was about conforming and not asking too many questions, than really helping my child. We since got a very amazing tutor who is amazing and trained in the exactly what he needed. I was saddened that the Director of this center and the Core Academy that it is associated with would treat a widow this way. So disappointed that they acted in such a way, after they accepted my kid, then said "he wasn't a good fit," after I had a few questions about the first session. Then to make matters worse, they let him go and tore up my check as they let me know in an email. How cruel. I really hope they don't respond, but it did happen and nothing they say, will make it ok. accept an apology.

Overall, she's learned a lot,…read moremet a great group of friends, and I've felt safe knowing my daughter is well cared for by her teachers. I also love the flexibility and full-day options for working parents. There are very few other facilities in this area that cover childcare for the full day so Fountainhead has really saved us. I also appreciate that they invest in updating the facility to keep it clean, nice, and in good working order for the kids. Also, they have fun special days for the kids like bringing a petting zoo to school and visits at the school from the police force and firefighters. They put a lot of love and care into providing a variety of opportunities for the kids to learn. I would recommend this location for older children (age 3+) but I'm mixed on sending a little one here if you like more pro-active communication about your child. There's a staff change halfway through the day so the afternoon crew doesn't know what happens with your kid in the morning and it is not their model to give you insight into the daily happenings of your child. Not a concern as my daughter got older but would have been nice during her younger years when there was so much growth and development (and she couldn't yet communicate with me). One other thing to note is the billing department is run by one person and it's a complex system and thus, prone to human error. We were overbilled twice by hundreds of dollars and wouldn't have caught it unless we were closely auditing their confusing invoices. I hope they can improve that in the future. Overall, I would recommend this preschool to anyone looking for care for their talking child.

Our child was already attending the school during the 2025-2026 school year, and in May 2026 we…read morecompleted re-enrollment for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year. As part of that process, we paid over $2,100, which represented our child's first month's tuition for the upcoming school year beginning in August 2026. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen family circumstances, we made the difficult decision to enroll our child in a school closer to home. This decision was not made lightly but was determined to be in our family's best interest. In June 2026--just one month after making the payment and approximately two months before the start of the new school year--we contacted the school to explain the situation and request a refund of the prepaid tuition. While I understand that schools must have policies in place, I was disappointed by the complete lack of flexibility or willingness to work with our family despite the circumstances and the significant advance notice provided. This was not a last-minute withdrawal after classes had begun, nor was it a request for a refund after the school year had begun. The payment had been made in May for tuition covering August, and the refund was requested in June, well before the start of the school year. However, the school was not willing to issue any refund. What makes this especially difficult is that the payment was not simply a registration fee or a traditional enrollment deposit--it was an entire month's tuition totaling more than $2,100 for a month of school that had not yet occurred. Given that we notified the school approximately two months before the start date, I had hoped there would be some consideration, understanding, or willingness to work with our family. Instead, the response was strictly policy-driven, with no accommodation offered despite the advance notice and the fact that our child would not be utilizing any services associated with that prepaid tuition. In my opinion, the unwillingness to consider any accommodation despite the circumstances and the substantial advance notice reflects a business practice that prioritizes rigid adherence to policy over partnership with families. For a school that emphasizes community, compassion, and family values, this response was both surprising and disappointing. I would encourage prospective families to carefully review all enrollment, re-enrollment, cancellation, and refund policies before making any financial commitment. Families should be aware that even prepaid tuition for a future school year is nonrefundable, regardless of how much advance notice is given or whether circumstances change before the school year begins. A school's values are reflected not only in its educational program but also in how it supports and partners with families during challenging transitions. While others may have positive experiences, ours left us feeling disappointed and unsupported during what was already a difficult decision for our family. My hope in sharing this review is not simply to express frustration, but to encourage the school to consider a more reasonable and compassionate approach when long-standing families encounter unexpected life changes. A willingness to work collaboratively with families--particularly when substantial notice is provided and school year has not started--would go a long way toward fostering trust, goodwill, and a stronger sense of community among the families it serves.

Not for just our experience but for several other families with children with IEP and special needs. Now I don't know how the school treats students currently with specific needs, but I do know that me being public about our situation opened the doors of many families to come forward with their negative experience. I went as far the legal route and you and your team didn't even acknowledge the letter received that was required to be signed via delivery. Your generic message to everyone's negative review goes so far and shows sooooooo clearly of whom you are as an individual and what you care about regarding the appearance of your school. I haven't dropped my anger with what our daughter went through and hearing what other families endured makes me so upset. I'm a huge IEP advocate and what that specific teacher did and how the school treated the situation was completely unprofessional and heartless.
