The kids love how she explains math so clearly. They just get it when she teaches them. And they really get it because she's asking them questions during the session to check their understanding. Confidence and grades have soared! My 7 year old tutors with Laura because he wants to increase his math skills. I especially love that she doesn't limit what he can learn at his age. He's learned his multiplication and division tables, rounding to the 10,000's, perimeter, area and today he learned fractions. It's only been 8 weeks. We signed up for another 8 weeks. Really cool to see his mind light up! Thank you CEC and thank you Laura!!!

Where do I even begin? My daughter came to me approximately 5 months ago - towards the end of her…read more6th grade year. She informed me that she was struggling with math and needed help. I looked up many tutoring centers in the area and decided on CEC. I signed her up for AST twice a week. Within two weeks she was starting to get it and even got an 85% on her math test - which before she averaged 70%. She had so much more confidence with math and the staff, especially Mr. Brian worked around her busy schedule. I can't thank CEC enough for all their help and patience with us and look forward to many more tutoring sessions for my daughter!

I live in the area and drive by often and see such happy little kids come out and remember the…read moretimes my son used to come here. Such amazing memories and great education system. The director is a teacher herself and constantly emphasized workshops and trainings for the teachers after school. The teachers were all CPR certified and trained with the school and always getting more training to be better Montessori teachers. I ran into a new teacher or staff and she is so well mannered and kind. I also saw some old teachers that my son was in class with and brought my son back to say Hi! They miss him! Awwww! My son remembers them and has benefited and advanced so much faster and more than the public school kids. He loved it here! If I ever have another kid, I'll be back! Kids here learn to read and write and potty train way faster than other school kids. My pediatrician mom friend even still speaks highly of the time her kids came here. Great school! Check them out!

Ok I wanted to give myself time before I wrote this review. My son came here for about 4 months …read more He turned 4 while attending this school. Skip to the bottom if you want the important stuff 1 Star CURRICULUM: I will honestly say that Mrs. Mary's curriculum was second to NONE! My son learned A LOT. I love how everyday they have a routine for all the kids. My son was learning to write his name at 3, learning how to count to 100 , and learning sight words among other things ! I was very pleased. 1 Star CLEANLINESS: The school is very clean(outdated but clean) she explained to me she had pest control come out once a month and spray the school. Also kids aren't aloud to bring backpacks to prevent children from bringing bed bugs or roaches. -1 Star BEHAVIOR the issue that I had was it seemed everyday he was learning some new absurd behavior. My son was starting to have a really bad attitude and became comfortable with testing physical boundaries. Once I took him out of the school the behaviors subsided. *********LAST BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY ****** -2 Stars DISCIPLINE/REPRIMANDING I came to pick up my son early on Halloween 10/31/2018 and the kids were napping. I waited in the lobby for a teacher to come so I can get my son. While I was waiting I hear a teacher (Ms Kim) YELLING at a student ( I won't say her name) saying "You BETTER SIT DOWN LITTLE GIRL!! " " what did I say " and saying " you better lay down or ima call your mom". Obviously she didn't know I was there. Well another teacher came out of the kitchen and told her there was a parent in the lobby and boy oh boy did her ENTIRE demeanor change. Well I let Mrs. Mary know how uncomfortable I felt keeping my son there considering this is how he could be treated if I wasn't around. She assured me the teachers behaviors was unacceptable and did not reflect the value of her school. As a parent I withdrew him. Overall the school was really nice. However I wouldn't send my kid here until he can communicate efficiently

Sadly, after we moved, the drive became too far for our family, and leaving their care was incredibly difficult for all of us. I'm so grateful for the special role they played in my son's life during such an important stage of his early development. I highly recommend to all parents!

This review is for the west campus. My 2 year daughter went there for 5 months and never adjusted…read more She's a happy, loving, little girl, but she wasn't happy going there and became scared and fearful to go. In fact she never really wanted to go to that school in the morning. When I picked her up a few times, she's had scratches, cuts, one time a big deep scratch that left a scar on her face; which made me question if it was from an adult working there. What finally made me withdrew her almost immediately was she started telling us a kid was hitting her at that school, and when we asked the teacher aide, she lied to us. My daughter is currently at another school now and she loves it, she adjusted the first week and is happy to go and happy when we pick her up. I wish I took her someplace else sooner.

Please do not send your child here. My 4-year old daughter was bullied on at least 5 separate…read moreoccasions between September-October 2018. The director was not at all empathetic with our situation and indicated that we were either exaggerating or manufacturing the stories. My distraught daughter reported being: (1) pushed down to which the assistant teacher, Maria, affirmed; (2) spit at in the face to which the teacher placed the other child on timeout; (3) pushed to the asphalt ground and sustained abrasions on her knee/shin, of which the school denied happening; (4) slapped and clawed in the face with finger nails, of which the school again denied happening; and (5) pushed off of an outdoor slide and sustained a large bruise on her triceps. All these incidents were discussed with teacher and/or director. While the teacher showed some sympathy towards our daughter, the director had no empathy. Furthermore, she suggested that our child may have fallen elsewhere to sustained those injuries or that we may have asked manipulative questions to confirm our bullying suspicions. Such an accusation is a complete farce. We had a pediatrician and a retired forensic police officer look at some of the injuries that my daughter had. Both said these injuries were not self inflicted and could not have been the result of simple falls. More importantly, the injuries indicate an altercation with another person/child. The scratches on her face showed a two-finger nail marking and clearly indicated that my daughter was attacked by another. The bruises on her arm, given there location on the tricep and near her armpit, suggests that she was forcibly hit in the area. We took photographs of these injuries and presented them to the director. Her only response was that the incidents weren't reported by the teachers on duty so there was nothing the school could do. My daughter has been traumatized by the events at this school and their disregard for her personal safety. During these incidents, of which occured within a month of attendance, she has expressed a level of fear that no parent should have to see from their child. We moved to California from Washington D.C. before the 2018-2019 school year. While there we had our daughter enrolled in the Goddard School for the previous year. The Goddard School took great care of our daughter and instilled a positive impression of schools. She was so excited to returned to school after her summer remission. However, that excitment was shortlived due to the negligance and poor care she received at MCH. Once these bullying incidents started at MCH, my daughter would beg us to not take her to school. She would say, "I don't want to go to that school. I don't like Harper. Harper hurt me. Harper spit at my face." For a weeks, all I would hear is the name Harper and everything that was said indicated that Harper was the harrasser/bully. She spoke of other names but with only good repore, e.g. "I like Isabella. Isabella is my best friend." She would speak this way of many of the other kids, but Harper. Each time the name Harper came up, it was always followed by some form of abuse, physical harm, or emotional trauma. What's more disturbing is that the teacher or her assistant was instructing our duaghter to not report Harper to us as the bully. We know this only now. After withdrawing our child from this horrible institutuion for a few months now, she is only just telling us that a teacher told her to not speak foul of Harper... or in her words "Harper not hurt me. I fall myself. I hurt myself. Teacher tell me Harper not push me. I don't like Harper. She push me and I fall." Does that sound right to you? Why would a four year old child say that another child didn't hurt her and that she fell on her own or hurt herself. Then in the same sentence, say that the other child push her and she fell as a result of the push. It would appear to me that someone at the school was rehearsing with my daughter on what to say. Specifically, someone was telling her to tell me that she fell on her own, hurted herself, and the injuries she suffered were not from Harper. I'll tell you this school is full of deception and instructed my daughter to lie. Please do not send your child here. This place is a nightmare. Beyond the bullying, the only activity my child really did was draw parallel lines within the outline of a shape. She knew her alphabet, numbers, and shape prior to attending this school (Thank you Goddard School). The progress she made while in the school was little to none. If you are looking for a safe place for your child, this is not the school. There's no security and any person can just walk into the school grounds. Again, the director could care less if your child was being bullied or victimize in some way. If you are looking for a school that educates your child, challenges them, or keeps them safe - this is not that school.

We started researching early preschool for Maya late last year. We were so thrilled to find Newport…read moreAcademy, which is also right in our neighborhood. Maya started attending just before she turned 2 in January of this year and goes 2 days per week. We started with the Friday playgroup in December. Annie and the other teacher guides made Maya's transition as smooth as possible, although it was naturally tough for us to separate at first. It didn't take long for Maya to love her school and teachers! The Outside Space. Newport Academy is just the perfect sized place of learning that we were looking for - there are many teacher guides for the students, and the school has 15 kids. The overall set-up is so great: enclosed playground with the standards like playhouses, swings, a slide, vintage tricycles; plus things to stimulate imagination like a DIY mud kitchen, cardboard boxes, and a shaded reading nook. Daily, the teachers set up activities in this play yard for the kids, like water play, painting, play dough, and other sensory activities. The Inside Space. Annie has created a serene and beautiful environment. There is a cool playhouse, tree house, and numerous sensory and learning opportunities. The school is Montessori-style learning, so they have these trays of "work" activities, which they take and utilize, then put back. We are impressed by how the teachers help guide these toddlers, aged 18 months ~ 3 years, to engage, focus, learn, develop a routine, listen, and be creative in this wonderful space. How they keep 15 toddlers calm and orderly inside is amazing, as keeping just 1 calm is often challenging! Overall, you can feel the love and passion behind Newport Academy, that has been created and evolved over 20 years. It is a living space and constantly changes. We have seen so many positive developments in Maya since she started attending - from teaching us songs and dances, sitting and focusing on her "work, " interacting with other children, and her physical abilities like climbing and confidence in trying new things. We are happy to be part of this community.

Prior to Phases, he'd just been staying at home and the only socialization or structure he got was play dates and relatives. Since starting at Phases for the past month and a half, my son has been doing so well - it's like night and day. Before he could not sit still in his chair for over a minute and now, he sits at the table to eat and drink and watch some tv, and he even puts all the toys away in their respective spots even without being asked. He is als socializing so much more now whereas prior to Phases, the only socialization he did was with mommy and daddy. He didn't ask for kisses and hugs, and now, he gives kisses and hugs freely and enjoys it immensely. Phases is amazing when it comes children, whether they are on the spectrum or not. Annie, Stephanie and the gang and just a godsend and I'm so grateful every day.
