None of which I know the answers. He has become so confident and has began helping his fellow students in his classroom. The peace of mind that Mathnasium Wauconda has given our household is priceless. Our son has been having math intervention help since K! He is now in 5th grade and is no longer needing extra help and is proud to be good at math. Thank you, Mathnasium Wauconda!

Miss Kelly truly has a special studio where you can come with zero experience and feel no pressure to start dancing- even as an adult! My family loves this studio.

I sent Kelly (owner) an email asking why my daughter couldn't dance in both shows like others students her age were given the opportunity. My second email was to inform her that my child wasn't going to finish out the session due to all of this escalating into what is had prior to dropping off costumes. Since then I have received 4 separate emails from Kelly (owner) harassing me! My husband only went to the studio to drop off costumes because Kelly (owner) sent me two emails saying I needed to return them no later than that date! My husband did not threaten Kelly (owner) at all which we have video proof of, (recording from OUTSIDE of the studio) he said "You can't just threaten people with law suits" referring to her emails.

We had a long chat with Linda from Jovie about this, and I honestly thought we were on the same page. We trusted them to find us a nanny who would be with us long term. Here's what happened. Our nanny, who was fantastic and really clicked with our kids, ended up leaving for another job Jovie showed her only after being with us for 11 weeks. Once we found out we spoke with our nanny and she said she loved our family, in fact she told us it was a difficult decision to make and she would love to come back if we needed her for date night,etc. This new position Jovie showed her had a schedule that better fit her needs. What's unprofessional is that Jovie didn't give us a heads up until the day before she was set to leave, though they knew about it four days earlier. That hit us hard because it was unexpected, and it put us in a bind trying to figure out what to do next. Two replacements were offered. One with limited experience, her qualifications showed she had only 1 day of infant training. The other replacement we weren't shown a resume because she had not completed orientation. We were not interested in these two options. We were very clear we wanted long term care and ultimately this internal transfer our nanny made hurt our children's wellbeing. And seeing our 4-year-old so upset and confused about why his nanny just disappeared has been the hardest part. Our family trusted Jovie and they let us down and most importantly let our children down. I'm not one to complain, but I feel I have to be straight with other parents out there. Based on what we went through, if you're looking for dependable, long-term childcare, you might want to think twice about Jovie. It's a tough lesson we learned about the difference between what a company promises and what they actually deliver. Shame on Jovie and Linda for putting our kids and family through this emotional situation.

Physics can be a difficult subject to grasp and, frankly, many teachers don't make it very…read morerelatable to students. Mr. Podo is the one Physics teacher I know that bucks that trend. His passion is contagious, and he uses examples/materials that kids find engaging. For example, he used a scene from the Fast and the Furious to illustrate a difficult concept (centripetal/centrifugal force?). Being able to grab a kid's attention is half the battle these days -- then being able to take difficult subject matter and make it relatable to hold their attention -- very rare in a teacher. I'd highly recommend Mr. Podo to "level up" (my kid's term) your child's knowledge/grasp of physics. Money well spent for sure.
