this place is a joke. the owner is not only rude to…read morepotential new clients, but she is rude to all people. especially the kids. though my experience with this kumon location was short it was way too long. basically, i made an appt. was greeted as if i had not (she double booked). i addressed her rudeness and she quickly simmered down. being that i wanted to have my child be properly equipped for the new school year, i gave a deposit anyway because i believed in the kumon mission. that being said, when it came time to the initial admissions test (that was scheduled for 30 mins) she spent 10 mins with my child then came out of the room highlighting all the things my child didn't know. to her surprise, my nanny stood there and asked my child to answer all of the points this women had just stated she didnt know. as expected my child knew all of the work and passed with flying colors. what this location seems to do is lie to parents about where their kids are academically as to then make it seem like her and kumon helped them grow and advance, when really your kid most likely already knew the material. in the end, my daughter never started the program and i received a full refund with a thumbs up emoji from the kumon franchise owner. this place is a scam.

As a parent of a toddler, the process of finding a preschool is daunting and nerve-wracking. A…read morechild's first experience in a "school" setting has a significant impact on their social and cognitive development. I'm a public school teacher by profession, so understand the need to put my confidence in the teacher to make the right educational guidance for my son. To that end, I'm very happy with the gains my child has made in his year at the Children's House of Montessori. He has flourished socially, his self-monitoring/self-sufficient skills has been noticeably, and is even potty training well! Ha. Highly recommend taking a tour and meeting the very seasoned and dedicated teachers.

Perfect teacher to student ratios, diverse learning/play areas, plenty of outdoor time, fantastic and healthy lunch and snacks created by two full time chefs are some of the ways that The Alphabet Academy outshine all others.

My family has been very happy with our choice in childcare. The teachers and administrators really care about the kids and provide an environment that is not only safe and warm but creative and challenging. We love the emphasis on fresh, natural foods (all food is provided/included, which is SO convenient) and outdoor play. They also do a very cool "Summer camp" program where the kids have outdoor/water play all morning every day, and the preschool/pre-K kids have several field trips. There are also occasional "bonus" events such as an end-of-summer family party and Christmas-time pajama party for the kids. I will be honest, it's not cheap, but as with all things you get what you pay for!

I will say, the administration does sometimes make decisions that make one question whether they prioritize students' growth or the image of the school, but overall, I am better off now because of this school and the experiences I've had here.

What a fine high school. It gets top ratings for a good reason.

It's a full time job just to read up on all it has to offer. All is as it should be, since this is a VERY highly taxed area. You get what you pay for here. iPads for all students? And the facilities are huge and wondrous. Well tended and with good security. Communication is good, too. For a high school experience, I can't imagine it gets any better than this. *Note: just make sure you know where you are headed. I got lost a lot on parent night. I'd never make it to class on time!

The Ingenius counselors are mostly part-timers, very busy with other things. One counselor was an…read moreundergraduate student with one (!) college internship to her credit and some activist interests, just needed an easy part-time job. We were told that these were seasoned individuals with experience. Only after prodding, we received background info. Frequent short-notice schedule changes. One counselor cancelled an appointment, sending a message he was just getting on a plane to visit his parents, he forgot about the appointment. Superficial counselling keeping students busy and then not giving productive feedback. I blame Ingenius for the many rejections my high-performing high schooler received. From schools she should have gotten into or at least waitlisted. Ingenius provided wrong and lazy advice. We hired them thinking they could provide expertise we thought we didn't have ourselves. We were wrong. We would have been better off navigating the college prep and application process ourselves. Likely with better results. Very disappointing. Avoid Ingenius at all costs. Parents, trust your own process. We are figuring out legal action, to get our money back.

I recently took my driving test and unfortunately failed because of unclear and unsafe instructions…read morefrom the instructor. During the test, I was in the left-hand lane when he told me to "go right." I asked for clarification since that instruction didn't match where I was on the road, but he repeated "go right" several times. So I followed his direction exactly as stated, even though I knew it wasn't correct, because he insisted multiplee times! Afterward, instead of acknowledging the confusion, he made comments about my disabilities and told me to "stop making excuses" and "you have a lot of diseases all of a sudden" when literally all I said was that I have dyslexia & Autism and need his instructions to be clearer... I wouldn't be as upset about failing if it were because of my OWN mistake, but in this case, the error happened because of unclear and inconsistent instructions from the instructor. So Long story short, he told me to cut across lanes and cars to make a right turn instead of letting me take the left and correct it. When I asked for clarification multiple times, he got irritated and repeated "go right," so I did, and then he failed me for following his OWN instructions.
