Students learned about Setsubun and Hanamatsuri, had Undokai (sports day), field trips to LittleTokyo, and saw demonstrations of activities like bonodori, taiko, and kendo. Since we don't speak at home my kids would not have had exposure to the language if not for this school. They went on to continue their Japanese studies in college, traveled all over Japan on their own, and have developed close friends there. To the teachers and staff, お疲れさまでした。

All the memories I had of being here were very positive! At the time there was an intro level class that you can take when you were in high school age, which was convenient as I thought I would be stuck with a bunch of little kids. It basically felt like I was in a class in Japan! My sensei was super sweet and patient. Nowadays it is run differently, but sometimes when I do pass by the building I can't help but feel nostalgic.

She attended TLC for three years until this past summer and is now in kindergarten at a private Montessori school in Fullerton. The teachers there were pleasantly surprised at how advanced she was from the very start, which is a true reflection of the dedication and care she received at TLC. A heartfelt thank-you to the head teachers and assistant teachers in the Bear and Giraffe classes for their outstanding efforts. While the management at TLC could benefit from some improvement, that concern is minor compared to the high quality of education and nurturing environment provided by the teachers.

Under the nurturing care of Ms. Natalie, Ms. Helen, and Ms. Katherine our son grew in ways we could have never imagined. Each of them played such a meaningful role in his development emotionally and socially. They were patient, gentle, and attentive to his needs, helping him build confidence, independence, and curiosity. Because of their dedication, he transitioned to public school feeling prepared, supported, and excited for the next chapter. We will always be thankful for everything these amazing teachers poured into him. If you're looking for a preschool that treats your child like their own and creates a safe, loving learning environment, this is the place. We miss you all!

The kids love how she explains math so clearly. They just get it when she teaches them. And they really get it because she's asking them questions during the session to check their understanding. Confidence and grades have soared! My 7 year old tutors with Laura because he wants to increase his math skills. I especially love that she doesn't limit what he can learn at his age. He's learned his multiplication and division tables, rounding to the 10,000's, perimeter, area and today he learned fractions. It's only been 8 weeks. We signed up for another 8 weeks. Really cool to see his mind light up! Thank you CEC and thank you Laura!!!

I looked up many tutoring centers in the area and decided on CEC. I signed her up for AST twice a week. Within two weeks she was starting to get it and even got an 85% on her math test - which before she averaged 70%. She had so much more confidence with math and the staff, especially Mr. Brian worked around her busy schedule. I can't thank CEC enough for all their help and patience with us and look forward to many more tutoring sessions for my daughter!

But though it is probably best known for its Oxford Prep program, its other tutoring services do not lack anything. After being enrolled in Oxford Prep and subsequently being accepted into Oxford Academy, I came back to Pace a few times in high school for help in various subjects such as calculus and English. My math teachers did not simply assist me with my homework but guided me in learning chapters ahead. This helped me to be prepared in advance for quizzes and tests and develop study habits. Whenever I wrote an essay for English class, Tim was always willing to look over multiple drafts of it to see where I could improve it. He also made sure I understood the books I was reading on a deeper level by helping me analyze the literary texts to see the overarching themes. One thing that stands out to me about Pace in comparison to other afterschools/tutoring centers is its atmosphere. I got to know most of the teachers on a name-by-name basis for they all are very friendly. The principal is not only very nice but also very professional and experienced as she has led the academy for over 15 years. Also, because many students at Pace see its benefits and so attend for multiple years, you see many familiar faces, overall adding to the homely vibe. Pace is a place I definitely recommend; it was a place where I built up academic knowledge and friendship, a place I don't regret attending.

The facilitator for my Basic weekend was incredibly egotistical and full of himself, bully natured. What I discovered in that weekend, had less to to with the facilitator and more to do with each step of, the unfoldment process. It was an opportunity to have a good look at my self. My beliefs and my limits, made by my society, peer groups and family of origin and ultimately by myself holding on to those limits to stay safe or familiar. I realized, facilitator or not, I wanted something from that organization that I would never get in the world as I knew. My dreams, goals, aspirations and the ability to connect in with other individuals who to were wanting and working for their own self realizations. In the end of the basic, I paid for the whole kit, all the seminars and went on to do just about everything before I hit my own snag. Within this corporation, that makes its money on your strongest desires to become your own self realization, is a lot of sales, sales and more sales, with the subtle message that you are not being your best person or the person you are ment to be without...the next class, without enrolling others. Enroll, enroll, enroll is the bottom line mantra. you are the machine for this company grinding out their sales so that you will feel your best that you are ...and so on and so on! Organizations of this kind, utilize that deeply seated doubt each one of us has that we are ...not enough unless we do this one thing...and so it goes. It also is a kind of adrenaline. This program has great goals but falls short of remembering the biggest picture of all, the single individual taking the program You and Me and its other parts. I started meeting everyone as a salesperson. In SD I had confided some deeply personal things regarding my family of origin and how I had at that time viewed myself and my marriage to the head of the SD, PSI. She utilized that information to sell me her own program that she said was similar to, The Hoffman Process. The Hoffman process was not on my radar until she mentioned that she could do the same for me as the Hoffman Process. I researched the Hoffman process following her solicitation of using her program. I opted to take the real deal, Hoffman Process and I enrolled in the Leadership Path. It was my best piece of personal work to this date. The emphasis is always to help each individual person to discover within themselves the power of changing dynamics and how belonging is a vital part of being HUM Had I not been in PSI and on the path of evolving my own path and life, I never would have found the Hoffman Institute. The integrity and care The Hoffman Institute puts to its work and respect it gives to each person participating in his or her own process is incredible. At the Hoffman Process, you the individual are the bottom line. There are no sales people in your class, no one is connecting with you for his/her own monetary purpose. The food served is top of the line, from a local fine restaurant where the owners themselves are hoffman grads. This is what I got from PSI that I really value even today! 1. I am responsible for who I am today, I have a right to discover within myself the patterns that keep me from living a more authentic life. 2. Participation in any group activity will empower me to be the best and to learn and grow. Of course choice activity could be negative so I chose who I am in company with almost always value the ability of others to share themselves. 3. Every organization has some bottom line goal. There is alway a price tag at the end of anything and this includes personal growth groups. PSI is all about personal Growth. ( I participated in a lot of various personal growth groups, Byron Katie...even her groups bottom line is the $. Go to any of her free seminars and you will be bombarded with a slew of CDs, Books etc. all influencing your consumer mind that you need more and will not be enough without that one...book, cd, seminar.) 4. I always check in with myself and my own motives for attending anything, I ask myself what interests me, what draws me in, I ask will this serve me long term? My PSI training and volunteering has helped me tremendously. I would not trade my time with them. I take that with me. What I do not like and what even today gets under my skin is the high dollar amount for each of their seminars, the deepening message drilled into the personal seminars. There are a great deal of individuals participating in the PSI seminars that would benefit more from just doing the basic and taking that extra money required for the other seminars and putting into themselves, savings, down payment on a home, college tuition...
