We could not be any happier with Ms. Claudia and her team. We joined Kumon in August of 2020…read morebecause of COVID-19. It was something we had on our radar anyways but COVID really put it at the forefront. My little one is an eager learner and loves school so we were really concerned our preschooler at the time, who was on the verge of learning how to read, wasn't getting the right amount of instruction during her last few months of distance learning. As much as we enjoy working with our little one, she does much better taking instruction from "teachers" so we felt confident she would do well in this after school learning program. After 5 months of Kumon, we could not be happier. My daughter has learned and grown so much. I'm constantly amazed at how much she's learned in both math and reading. She advanced pretty quickly through each level but Ms. Claudia did an excellent job ensuring she was really ready before advancing her. At times, we repeated lessons. In the months we've attended, my daughter has advanced to what she calls the "big girl tables" which is where each child works more independently vs. the early learners table where an instructor is sitting with them the entire time. My 5-year-old was super excited to move up but got a little stage fright not having a teacher with her. To be fair, she's 5 and does still need assistance, especially with reading, but Ms. Claudia has made adjustments so my daughter remains comfortable in class. She will eventually need to move to the "big girl tables" but we appreciate Ms. Claudia being willing to compromise. Additionally, because she's advanced, the math and reading homework has become more challenging for her - to the point where she was getting a little discouraged when it came to doing her homework. Up until recently, this was never the case. We addressed these issues with Ms. Claudia and she quickly made adjustments that are working much better for us. She continues to check-in each week, which is greatly appreciated. Incentive Programs: Each visit, your child earns Kumon dollars (KD) they can use towards fun prizes. It turned out to be a fun incentive for my daugther. Saving her KD's is a life lesson in itself. My daughter was saving for the grand prize, an electric scooter ($1000KD) so after she returned from her Kumon lesson, she'd sit at our kitchen table for a good 15-20 minutes trying to add it all up and figure out how much more she needs to reach her goal. She got up to $700 KDS before her God Parents got her one for Christmas. Instead, she chose a National Geographic dinosaur dig kit ($500 KD), which has been a COMPLETE (mess!!!! - LOL) HIT! = ) She loves it and feels so proud that she earned it. She is saving up again for another National Geographic prize. If your child is struggling with distance learning or needs a little push with math or reading, I'd HIGHLY recommend Ms. Claudia and this Kumon location. We are beyond pleased with Ms. Claudia being so accessible and are thrilled with the life lessons and knowledge my daughter is gaining here. Ms. Claudia has demonstrated on multiple occasions that she does what is best for my child and doesn't try to fit everyone into one mold. Plus, she and Ms. Annie are so incredibly patient!!! My daughter just loves them.

I'm so happy I found this Kumon. When my daughter started kindergarten, her first report card…read moreshowed she was below most of her peers as far as reading.

I went to Mathnasium and she got a free assessment to see where she was struggling. I signed her up and it has helped her and given her so much more confidence in math.

She also checks in and asks how things are going to make sure everything is going ok with her school work. With COVID and online school schedules she has also been very accommodating. If your child needs help don't hesitate and give them a try!

Each grade offers children to work at their own pace, and children can learn curriculum in reading/math up to two grades above each grade they're in without a competitive feel between the children. NO IPADS which is amazing since all public schools use that now as a learning tool and I'd rather my daughter not learn via tapping her finger on a screen. There is an intentional effort to have healthier food options at events, ordered school lunches, birthdays in class, aftercare snacks, but there is also no judgement amongst parents or between admin and parents. They offer extracurricular classes for kids in TK and beyond. My daughter does keyboard and dance once a week after school, and it's really nice, she just stays an extra half hour and I pick her up when it's done, and she LOVES them. The aftercare program has been amazing compared to the other Montessori we went to prior to ECDS. We absolutely love our teachers this year, along with the extracurricular teachers we've met. Ms. Hayes is the new principal but has worked at the school for over 10-15 years, and she is just wonderful, caring, dedicated, and knowledgeable. It's a really good feeling as a parent to have the principal and teachers open and welcoming of communication, and allowing us to be involved with our child's experience at school. Feel free to DM me on Yelp if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them!

Sanderling Waldorf School has done a major campus renovation so the school is looking beautiful…read more The Waldorf curriculum and approach are the only school I've found that is truly developmentally appropriate. The teachers are loving, they care deeply about the children, and understand how to meet the children with gentle, loving authority. The curriculum includes art, music, lots of games and movement, woodwork, knitting, 2 foreign languages, and of course all the traditional academic subjects. They learn their times tables by jumping rope, they learn languages through singing and stories, and botany on nature walks. They have been screen and tech free for over 100 years and Waldorf graduates go on to do well in High School, University and beyond. I should know, my daughter had a Waldorf education from Kindergarten through High School and is a successful working adult with a great circle of family and friends. Your child will love going to school and will grown into a resilient, confident, capable, kind and accomplished adult. Sanderling serves children from 15 months through to Grade 8, so call them to take a tour. You won't regret it!

My daughter is so happy every day she attends and absolutely loves all the fun crafts and activities they do. The only small downside is the limited hours for the 2 year-old preschool program, which may not work for families needing longer days. That said, the director went above and beyond to try and accommodate our family's schedule, which we truly appreciate!

The new preschool is good, more expensive, has programs that others schools doesn't, but, if I could, the Goddard would be my choice. The administration has it together. Communication, billing, notices, etc. We don't have to keep asking for things or have to try to figure things out. It's organized and they don't add additional stress to your everyday life. The teachers are incredible, and I mean incredible. From the infant baby Bulaga to the Zebra classes. The nurture, care, and development... I see it, I felt it with my kids; they do everything right from my perspective. Thank you and continue to take care of the teachers and listen to them. They are what helps and add value to the school. Thank you and we miss you all there. Wish everyone continued success and keep developing the wonderful minds that comes across your way.

There was no loyalty to me as a parent who helped them establish their fledgling facility.

Not as much as even a response. Just heads up, the teachers they hire are kind and great with the kids but the owners have always come across as cold and uncaring. More concerned about the bottom dollar than the children's best interest.
