Due to his diagnosis, learning to read, understanding the alphabet, phonics have all been an uphill battle for him. Throw in covid and unfortunately he got further behind. So, in steps Sylvan. (He had a private tutor, who was a substitute teacher), who tutored him once and then quit because she didn't feel she was a good fit. I met with Ms. Gabrielle, the Center Director who was so welcoming and really understood a lot of my concerns. She addressed one of my concerns regarding my son needing accommodations to see and hear letters and sounds and she was able to make this accommodation for him and if not, it was a deal breaker for us. Second, Our private speech therapist had a 40 minute conversation with Ms. Gabrielle about how my son learns, where he's at with his language and what not to say because he honestly doesn't understand what that means. She has proven herself to be so instrumental in my sons ability to learn. She has also communicated this to my sons teachers. In about 4 months, my son has almost closed a years worth of learning. His teachers, Ms. Jen, Ms. Heather, Ms. Mimi And Ms. Rachel are treasures!! They really know how to teach and having them at sylvan is an asset and I'm hoping the directors notice this. These teachers truly care and I can see my sons self esteem and confidence surge! Thank You So Much Ms. Gabrielle and to my sons teachers!

We are so grateful and fortunate to have had the opportunity for him to spend his formative years in such a loving environment. Vickie plans fun events for the children and makes every day spent with her very special. From egg hunts to Mother's Day to Halloween - and everything in between - there's never a "boring" day for all of the daycare darlings in her learning center. And yes - it's a learning center rather than a just a "day care". They work on colors, numbers, reading, writing, etc. My grandson really thrived in so many aspects and that is a direct result of the love and care he received while he was in attendance there. We highly recommend Ms Vickie's Learning center & give it 5 stars

Our daughters vocabulary, verbal communication and comprehension, and math skills are in lack of better words, amazing. I've noticed both Ms. Ashton and Ms. Yessi's interaction with our daughter as well as other kids. These 2 are amazing teachers for such an young age. I feel we are very lucky to have them. Our daughter talks about them often with very kinds words, which makes me (a very involved father), feel at ease knowing she is in good hands. I can't speak for other parents, but these 2 ladies are an asset to KRK. Please let them know that we could not be more pleased with the work you are all doing. We are very happy to be a part of the KRK family!

There was recently a big big cricket invasion that no one did anything about. If you don't pay extra(for camps/classes/etc.), they can only really crowd into a single gym(and not even all the time due to basketball lessons) or do math/chinese packets. Additionally, I recall there being an issue with water splashing/wet floors in the bathrooms. Huayi simply closed the bathrooms (boys) and put cameras in as well. Hua Yi was also sold recently to Mrs. Sun. I remember her as a nice Chinese teacher, they have also changed their logo to a friendlier, more modern one. I hope this reflects potential changes in their building/school in future as well.

Hello I'm Samuel Ran and ill be trying to tell you about this place…read more This place isn't all bad, but it does have its flaws. As someone who has spent time here, I can see both the good and the bad. On the positive side, while some of the kids might not be the easiest to get along with (to put it mildly), the teachers here deserve recognition. Special shoutout to Mrs. Xie and Mr. Jefferson--they're truly amazing! Many students complain about how "mean" the teachers are, but honestly, they don't realize how challenging it must be to work a demanding 9-to-5 job, managing a classroom full of unruly kids every single day. It's no easy task, and I think the teachers deserve a lot more credit for their dedication and effort. That said, there's room for improvement. Take the restrooms, for example--they're far from sanitary. They're crawling with cockroaches, and I'm pretty sure they don't meet the state's health standards. While there have been some small improvements, they're still a long way from acceptable. Then there are the classrooms. They're overcrowded, which makes it nearly impossible for teachers to give students the attention they need. The rooms themselves aren't much better--they don't even have windows, and the walls and desks are littered with graffiti and profanity (I won't repeat any of it because, well, let's keep things appropriate). On top of that, the furniture hasn't been replaced in 20 years. It's outdated and falling apart--it's long overdue for an upgrade, Mrs. Yi. (P.S they give us activities like basketball ping pong and a whole room dedicated to playing which keeps us sane and from not going crazy) Despite all this, the school is still standing and trying its best after all these years. But with just a bit of effort and investment, it could go from "just getting by" to a place everyone could truly take pride in.

After our first year of the group class, we told the owner, Eileen, that we wouldn't be attending anymore. Our daughter just has trouble focusing and while, our teacher, Ms. Natalie is a delight, the class just isn't working for her. Eileen will tell you anything to keep you paying your membership apparently and told us that we if the group classes don't work out for her, we can put her in a one on one class. Well here is how the payments work. It's not a month to month situation. It's a "membership." So all summer month you are paying ahead of time, and if you drop they already have your money. So now comes first day of this year's class. It absolutely isn't working for our daughter. My husband says he would like to change to the one on one class, and Eileen totally back peddles on what she said before and says, Oh no, you have to pay a whole new membership to do the one on one class. He asks if the money we've already paid would go towards that. She says no, you've already paid for the group class and you would have to pay the full amount to switch and won't get reimbursed for the group class. AND HERE IS THE WORST PART. She asks to speak to my husband privately and says "From the bottom of my heart, I care about your daughter and I know you do too. I don't think you should discuss her lack of focus in front of her because her efforts might not feel validated." He told her that is NOT her place and has nothing to do with piano class and he'll take that as a suggestion. Meanwhile I hear this and I am furious that Eileen would have THE NERVE to tell us to parent OUR child. And to turn things around on us when she wants to charge us thousands of dollars in addition to what we've already paid, to do one on one classes that would actually be an environment where our daughter can focus. The owner is two faced. She will act as though she truly cares about your child succeeding in piano and guilt you to stay signed up. But all she cares about is money.
