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.

My husband and I decided that my daughter was not yet ready to attend an all-day Pre-K. She had a…read morespeech delay and had trouble asking for help and letting her needs be known. She was also not yet independently using the restroom among various other concerns. In our search, we visited various schools, some that we were highly impressed with. We were hesitant to use a home-based school, but decided to visit anyway. Upon meeting Mrs. Valerie, we were immediately put at-ease. She listened to our concerns and never made us feel as though our daughter was behind; we could tell right away that she understood kids and that she truly cared and was knowledgeable about their development. She was open and honest in her communication and was just a very warm and welcoming person in general. During her year there, our daughter learned so much! I don't mean an academic focus (which is still there) but in other ways; she's now more social, independent, and her communication skills have improved. In fact, during her IEP with the district, we were told she no longer qualified for services and they asked us what school she had attended. They were surprised with how much progress she had made in one year. I can confidently say that the majority of her progress is due to Mrs. Valerie. We will be forever grateful that we got be a part of Schoolhouse Downey.

My daughter has been attending Schoolhouse Downey for about 5 months now, and it has been such a…read moreblessing to have her learn and grow under Mrs. Valerie's care. Mrs. Valerie has tons of experience with preschool kiddos, they are always doing fun crafts and outdoor/play activities. And on top of that, she has a very organized and impressive curriculum, so this is not "just a daycare". My daughter loves that she gets to dance, do yoga, eat yummy pasta and play with her friends every week! And as a parent, of course the number one concern is safety, and I feel truly blessed that I know she is in good hands and that she is 100% safe with Mrs. Valerie. I am also thankful for Mrs. Valerie's support and special attention as my daughter transitioned out of pull ups and began learning English (we speak a different language at home). We recently went on a two week vacation (that was filled with beach and pool days, everyday!) and she asked several times when she goes back to Mrs. Valerie, so she definitely is doing everything right at Schoolhouse! Mrs. Valerie is a very supportive and caring teacher, and I highly recommend her.

I just had to stop what I was doing (working late) and write this review. My kiddo just ran in and…read moresaid he is actually ENJOYING his math work! I don't think I've ever heard my child say that. This is only our third session with the awesome Tammy and already my kid is seeing big improvements and is finally feeling confident that he isn't stupid (his words). I should say, this isn't a child (16) simply behind in Math. My son has a major math phobia. Finding some kind of tutor to get him through an online program is the only way he is going to be able to graduate with his class - and it's working beautifully. I had called several tutoring services for just the right fit and I definitely chose the right one. Big hugs to the wonderful Melissa for getting my kiddo just the right tutor for his needs and huge shout out to Tammy for being the best math tutor out there. I couldn't recommend a business more than I do Bounce Back.

I highly recommend Creative Beginnings. My oldest son started attending the infant/daycare center…read moresince he was 18 months. He's now 3.5 years old and in the preschool program. The preschool program is very engaging for kids - they do fun crafts, worksheets and have play time/games every day. Our preschooler loves his teachers and classmates and is very happy about his experience there. He temporarily went to another preschool for a month while CBS was closed and it was NOT a good experience at all (way too many kids to one teacher; no structure or planned activities for the kids). Even though CBS doesn't offer live cameras or dailly photos of your kids, I trust my preschooler in the care of the staff. They are courteous and truly care about the children and their well being. I also appreciate that the school follows COVID protocols and is a nut free facility as my preschooler has a peanut allergy. Our youngest son is 19 months and we will be sending him to the infant/daycare center next month in October.

My family entrusted Creative Beginnings with the care of our daughter, and our experience…read moreultimately left us deeply disappointed. Throughout her time there, we received frequent reports about behaviors such as difficulty sitting still, trouble during nap time, refusing directions, and challenges with transitions. What became frustrating was that the communication often focused on what she was doing wrong rather than what supports were being implemented to help her succeed. As parents, we repeatedly asked what interventions were being used, requested behavioral observations, sought positive feedback in addition to incident reports, and worked to collaborate with staff. We were trying to understand the reasons behind the behaviors and find solutions together. Since leaving the program, she has been diagnosed with autism. Looking back at many of the communications we received, I cannot help but wonder whether her behaviors were being viewed primarily as defiance and misconduct rather than possible signs that she needed additional support and understanding. One of the most painful moments was being told that she was the only child in the class who behaved a certain way. As a parent, hearing a young child singled out in that manner was heartbreaking. Rather than increasing support, we were eventually informed that she could no longer attend a full day and would need to be picked up at noon. It felt as though the solution was to reduce her participation instead of finding ways to help her succeed in the classroom. I cannot speak to anyone's intentions, but I can speak to the impact this experience had on our family. We left feeling that our daughter was viewed as a behavioral problem to manage rather than a child trying to navigate challenges that were not yet understood. I hope this review encourages Creative Beginnings to reflect on how they support neurodivergent children and children who struggle differently. Every child deserves patience, compassion, and a genuine effort to understand what is behind the behavior.
