I had to just edit cause her name popped into my head. Her name was Ann. And I got emails to prove…read morethat she said that I was forcing my kids to read for punishment. It was fucking rude and disrespectful like, who the fuck are you. And our kids are supposed to read 20 minutes a day. This email will be in my book about the trauma that my kids have gone through since 2015. I wanna give you four stars cause you helped me with kids in their homework, but you also were not beneficial to them in private emails. My kids went there for years. But some shady shit was going on. I can't remember her name but she told me I made my kids read for punishment and an email that I still have. But my kids were supposed to read for 20 minutes every day. It was a great place for my kids. They helped with homework because my ex said he doesn't do homework. Everything was put on me and my kids and then when they weren't failing, it was all my fault. But there were also secret court dates in Napa Courts that I do believe that they were involved in and hopefully, the truth comes out with our investigation. Sylvan is a great place as long as they do not get involved in your business. Our traumatize or help traumatize your kids. Our help traumatized are ruining your kid's education to where they do not care anymore. I will not have my kids go back here at all. And you sat there and listened to conversations and still chose the other side and not my kids. Documentations everything I say I've been undercover since 2015. Emails are everything. And yes, I do believe they were in a family court having private meetings. But everybody's gonna know because I have a book and I shared all my information so if anything happens to me, somebody else will publish my book. I would ask for the money back is probably in the hundred thousand. But I didn't pay for it. Precaution and careful and pay attention. And stick up for your kids, even though I did. But I don't know why it took so long for the corruption that's going on around me and my kids to stop and maybe if I had done something a long time ago my kids would've had a better education. I'm not gonna say it on here but if you want further investigation and you're going through hell in Napa Courts and they get involved, there's always a loophole in the law. And if I do find out you were in secret courtrooms trust me I'm posting it everywhere and will pay for advertisement. I don't know how many stars I should give you because you helped me out, but you also went behind my back and neglected my kids in the process. This may not have anything to do with them, but I and a bunch of other people piled up in cars and went to the FBI. Hopefully, everything's investigated now. But there's another investigation going on. I wanna know about this court date. And who is there? So do I give you five stars cause you help my kid or do I give you one star because you kind of screwed us over in the process?

This place is run by CRIMINALS! Yes, you read that right. I had a court order to come and pick up…read moremy children at anytime, and rather than reading and following the law, Beth Chamberlain, the Director said, and I quote, "I am not going to read that. I don't have to. My lawyer said so." In other words, the Director represented that she had contacted her lawyer in a premeditated capacity even BEFORE there was any problem. The truth is, she only had been poisoned by information from the children's mother (we had a very nasty custody battle) and didn't even consider the notion that mother had been lying to her. That is to say, Ms. Chamberlain was prejudiced against me, and then proceeded to instruct her staff to not cooperate with me. I am proud to say that I now have primary custody of both my children because a real judge who looked at and considered the evidence (or lack thereof) and made orders in accordance with the rule of law. Apart from not following the law, Ms. Chamberlain then reported that my son was displaying behavioral problems. When I asked her the nature of the problems so that I could share the information with the children's therapist, she snapped at me and refused to share the nature of the problems. Don't waste your hard-earned money on Browns Valley. Look elsewhere for daycare/preschool needs by people who actually care about your kids and don't put themselves or their own financial interests before the interests of your children. There are plenty of good, reputable and law abiding options out there. PS. It should be noted that Ms. Chamberlain made a request of Yelp to remove a prior negative review stating that I was not a customer and was temporarily successful. My children went to school there. I was forced to pay the bills for their attendance. That makes me a customer. Here was the original review: Removed Content: FIND A SERVICE PROVIDER THAT DOESN'T COMMIT CRIMES. What a horrible experience. After fighting for 2 years in court to have access to my children's records and to be allowed to see my children, the Director of this daycare will not follow the court orders, EVEN AFTER I SHOWED THEM TO HER! Appalling. Children need both parents, and rather than do what's in the best interest of the children, the Director chooses to BREAK THE LAW and keep my children from having their legal right to have access to their Father. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.

But one day my son got there and there is no one there and no one from center didn't even bother calling and telling us that the coach will be late , so when I call I was told oh coach over slept !! Seriously this is how they do business!!! All I want to say this center does not commit to there schedule and will not refund your money

Deanna will meet with you to develop a personalized plan for your student based on their foundation of knowledge and learning style (she will figure this out for you). They make every possible effort to accommodate your schedule and needs. Before choosing Miracle Math I called several different tutoring centers in the area. I explained my son needed help in math and I was frequently met with the questions: "Where do you want us to begin? What do you want us to focus on?" These questions were both overwhelming and discouraging. I had no idea where to begin. I didn't even really know what areas of math my son struggled with the most. Then I came across Miracle Math. We met with Deanna and immediately I was put at ease. She explained that THEY will figure out where to start, what to focus on and HOW to help my son based on what he knows and how he learns. After an interview and assessment test Deanna explained the results and we formulated a strategy that would best suit my son. Deanna also took care to pair him with coaches she felt would be able to meet his learning style needs. My son has been with them almost a year now and his confidence in math has improved immensely. He is in high school now and thinks math is easy! Thank you Miracle Math team !! You are all so amazing! This has definitely been one of the best investments I could have made for my son.
