Carlin is MBD's speech/language pathologist, who also specializes in early literacy, can you say WOW!? As a Momma bear, I have searched high and low for someone like Carlin. We previously had a SLP and a special education tutor (who we still love dearly) but Carlin is both of them combined into one! She is a "one stop shop" if you will. Given her educational background (PhD student), extensive experience, and her ability to connect with my kids, she has been a dream come true for us! My kids are understanding AND comprehending the connection between speech, language, reading, hearing, and writing because of her! Thank you Jana and Carlin!

Both our children went to Kiddie Kampus 2x a week from ages 2 until they were 4 years old and…read moregraduated Kiddie Kampus. Given we drove 30-35 minutes by highway (one way) from Palo Alto, this tells you how much we loved this preschool. Our kids attended 3 half days at Bing Nursery (at Stanford) and 2 full days at Kiddie Kampus (in Los Gatos). The teachers are warm and caring and the children are kind and compassionate. It is play based and they also care about sun protection. The stories and games that are taught are wonderful and the imagination is allowed to grow. If I could give 10 stars I would. In the news these days, there are stories of how toddlers have drowned in San Jose at preschool, or even at summer camp at Harker School. And those stories remind me how lucky we were to send our kids to Kiddie Kampus and Bing Nursery. This is the place where teachers read stories, have playdo for children to develop small motor skills (needed for holding a pencil), have paints for painting, blocks for expanding the imagination and counting... this is where play happens not didactic teaching. When our oldest first started preschool at age 2, we were worried about her separation anxiety. She was a sensitive toddler and had never been away from family. Kiddie Kampus had an extra preschool teacher come in that day so they could devote full attention to our daughter if she had separation anxiety. When our daughter wasn't eating lunch the first week, I got a call asking if they could do something to help her eat more. When there were bad air quality or heat warning days, Kiddie Kampus would send out an email first thing in the morning letting parents know because of the weather advisory, the kids would be mostly indoors playing (in the cool gym not outside). If you're expecting your 2 or 3 year old to come out of preschool reading and writing, then you're looking for a didactic based preschool. Kiddie Kampus is very similar to Bing Nursery School as both are play based. This is how children at this age learn (through play) and Kiddie Kampus is all about play. Our children loved going to Kiddie Kampus, loved their teachers, who are not only professional but kind and warm hearted and loved their friends. It was a priviledge to send our kids to Kiddie Kampus - it played a huge developmental role in helping our children grow intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally.

The process to sign up and to get an assessment was easy and the staff is very helpful. My daughter first hesitated going to math school over the summer but she truly likes it. I think it's because she sees how much it's helping and she is feeling confident about her skills. They are always on time and the ratios are great. Also, very easy and confident in terms of week to week scheduling. Pricing is right too. Don't hesitate. If your child needs help with math go here! Also, while you wait there are lots of restaurants in the shopping center to choose from.

It's time for an update now my son is a sophomore in college. As with many parents, we initially…read moreturned to math tutoring when my son struggled. He started Mathnasium in 2nd grade, but over time, he didn't struggle as much. Mathnasium became more of an extracurricular activity than just tutoring. Of course, like most kids, he wanted to quit at some point. He finally got his wish before his senior year of high school. Looking back, I now truly see the value of this extracurricular. He was good at math, though I wouldn't say he was exceptional, and I always thought he didn't particularly enjoy it. Surprisingly, when he was a sophomore in college, he decided to pursue a minor in engineering--or even math. I guess his years at Mathnasium served him well after all! I wanted to share this because math tutoring isn't just about helping your child in the moment--it can have a lasting impact on their academic confidence and future opportunities.

The best tutor I've ever had…read more Where do I begin? Throughout high school he taught me how to properly write, critically think through math, English and logic problems. I wouldn't be the educated and articulate man I am today without his guidance. He sees where the disconnect is for people who don't understand something and helps them see how things work using their learning style. I am now passionate at writing for fun-thanks to him as well. All of my best essays in high school were under his tutelage. Best tutor I've ever had in my life and I am grateful that he works so hard and has continually been helpful in my life. He is also a very funny and patient person. Would recommend him over any other tutor in the Bay Area! Forever thankful for all that he did for me to get good grades, and learn how to flourish and be confident in my capabilities.
