I would love it to lean more in the STEAM but they are trying. I also like if there is ever an issue I can have meeting with faculty or admin ASAP. No school is perfect but its up to the parent to be actively participate and hold them accountable if there is ever an issue. Overall the staff is communicative .

Most of the teachers are sweet and…read morecaring... there were some teachers who lacked patience and some turnover (they were just fillers and didn't like teaching). The best part is that the children are learning a lot, in both English and Spanish which is a huge bonus! There is a set curriculum. They try to get parents involved in family events, which were very enjoyable. Shout out to my favorite sweet teachers: Ms Sophia and Ms Kerri.

I feel like my wife and I dodged a bad situation bringing our child here. The professionalism is…read moreextremely lacking. If they can't get something as simple as customer service and being professional in order why would I entrust them with my kid? At first we called the Downey location but they said there was a waitlist of 1 year but that the MLK location would have IMMEDIATE enrollment. We didn't mind joining the waitlist for Downey while still enrolling our child at the MLK location. Downey is on the way to where I work and though MLK is a bit out of the at but I would have made it work for the time being until Downey had a spot. Downey location sent me a PDF form that already had another family information all over it-clearly a violation of their privacy as now I had their name, address, child's name and other sensitive information. Emailed Helia back letting her know but received no response. I proceeded to try to call MLK; the phone would ring and ring and then it would disconnect as if someone was denying the call or picking up and hanging up. I then decided to use the texting service that they claim "responds in minutes." Yes, maybe the automated portion responds in minutes but as soon as a live agent takes over it's an extremely long wait. 4:15pm someone tells me to "hold on while I connect you with someone who can help..." 4:26pm I ask "how long should I wait?" 5:30pm didn't have anyone connected so I messaged back "hello." 7:15am the next day someone replies back without even acknowledging the wait. I didn't mention it until the information I received that there would be a waitlist for about 6 months at MLK. What happened to IMMEDIATE enrollment? Then they have the nerve to tell me that using the online chat is the quickest way to get a response, not calling or texting. Why do you have phone numbers listed and text services available if it's a terrible way to communicate with you? What if there's an emergency that I need to pick up my child? Yea, no thanks but this place is a hard pass. They might be affordable compared to other care centers but as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for." TLDR; There is a major disconnect between centers even though they claim to be affiliated. They have no regard for privacy since they blindly send out forms without checking if there is another families information on them. Their customer service is abysmal since they didn't pick up multiple phone calls and left me waiting for more than 12 hours on the text service or respond to emails.

My daughters have been attending Walnut Park Elementary since Pre-K. I currently have a 5th grader…read moreand a kindergarten. I've never experienced anything bad. Ever since Ms. Luna became the new principal a lot of good changes have happened. She truly has made a difference. From creating the valet car for dropping off students in the mornings to having the after school program STEM where they create robots and compete against other schools. This motivates students to be involve in activities. If parents don't have the time to take them, they manage somehow to find the time to take them. I appreciate the effort! As far as teachers they're all have been great teachers! Just to mention a few Ms. Rodriguez, Ms. Castillo, Ms. Torres, Ms. Rosas, and Ms. Reedy. They've done a great job in teaching my daughters. Good amount of homework given. Field trips have been great. My daughters have been happy so far. Office staff, not the greatest but they try their best! I believe they can be better and more organized. I understand it can be insane speaking to over 50 parents a day just with 2 staff members. The school nurse is on point. Always calling me with any issues when my daughters go to the nurse's office.

My kid was in distress & the other parent wasn't supposed to enter the school per court order. Whole time I was on the phone with a friend who recorded everything & teacher voice is heard talking to both of us near his classroom. Conflicting his written statement to the court that the other parent didn't come inside the school and wasn't being disruptive. I was going through false accusations from other parent & I notified the school about conflicting statement & they said they will stand behind the teacher even though on their paperwork they noted they told him about the court order weeks prior. Just FYI to other parents.

I started my youngest so here because I felt his previous school did not do justice to him when it came to teaching him. He fell behind. Then covid hit and it became worse. I was so sad for him and it made me cry. I decided one day to give Sylvan a try knowing what it did for my sister and I growing up. Needless to say, my son has grown so much and has gained this unprecedented confidence towards learning like never before. He is now reading little things here and there, has met his goals and passed some in school and sylvan. He used to cry when you mention homework, now he gets to it before I do. After seeing his progree, I also enrolled his older brother. Same result. He has always been a studious kid, but statred lacking amidst covid. His parent-teacher conference recently showed my how well sylvan has really helped him improve. His teacher was so very proud of his quick progree and turn-around. He is happy and his confidence in himself has returned and that makes me even more happy. I am truly appreciative, grateful, and thankful to sylvan and their amazing tutors for all their work and deligence.
