    I am thrilled to share our experience with Coach Kelly, my son's swimming instructor. From the very…read morefirst lesson, her patience and professionalism stood out, creating a nurturing environment where my son felt comfortable to learn and grow. Her teaching style is incredibly effective, blending fun with structured lessons that keep my son engaged and motivated. I've watched him progress remarkably under her guidance, overcoming challenges and building confidence in the water. Moreover, it's evident how much my son loves her as an instructor; he looks forward to each lesson with excitement. It's not just about technique for her; she fosters a genuine love for swimming that will last a lifetime. I cannot recommend Coach Kelly highly enough! She has truly made a positive impact on my son's swimming journey, and we are so grateful for her dedication and expertise.

My daughter has made huge progress in her swimming. I'm amazed just seeing how much she knows. She doesn't hesitate to show off her skills any chance she gets! Kelly is always on time and ready to work! She keeps an open communication. She's very welcoming also! She makes my daughter feel comfortable and safe. She makes sessions fun. My daughter is always excited to go to her sessions.

HE'S READING! If you have a child with a learning difference, you know how awesome that is. The specialized reading programs and small class size is really working for him. His teacher is an Angel! She "gets" my son. She takes the time to listen and has been a huge advocate for him. His school counselor is really amazing. She is so well trained in determining the functions of my son's behaviors, offering him tools/strategies that will help him cope. I will continue to post updates as we continue on our journey.

Had a math teacher who claimed his name was Vargnez, said he was a rapper, talked to the boys the whole time, and never taught us any math. This was pre-algebra; we needed that math to go on to high school. He didn't teach a shit Had a very old, very British cat lady for a vice principal. She would show us her many fostered kittens, and also, didn't you say about the bullying I received I was called a snitch by several boys because I snitched on them to the principal, who proceeded to do nothing And every single website, including Google, was blocked on the school Chromebooks so ya, it was pretty bad

    Finding Park Century School (we are currently finishing up our first year there) has been one of…read morethe best things to happen to our family. The staff, the teachers - all incredible and everyone is focused on the same goal - our daughter's academic success. She was starting to disengage at her previous school because it simply wasn't set up to meet her needs. Since joining Park Century, she has transformed. She is thriving, happy, and settling into middle school with a confidence we weren't sure we'd ever see. Middle school is a hard transition for any kid, and even harder when you learn differently. Park Century makes it feel manageable -- because they have a plan, decades of experience and a proven method. We are so grateful to have found a community that sees our child for who she is and gives her the tools, on her timeline, for independence and success. We can't recommend Park Century highly enough.

    This school is horrible I went there for 2nd through 8th and if it wasn't for family conflict I…read morewould have loved to have left after the 3rd grade after the extra help I needed was reached. The school is called park century and yet no park we were promised a park the entire time I was there and I think to my knowledge they still don't have a park. There where good teachers at points but after Doug Phelps was hired he kind of did away with anything positive and made it into a helicopter parents dream it was ridiculous honestly how fast it got so bad and I had to stick around through all of it so I might just be a little extra angry quite honestly. As well i remember by the science room it would always smell bad and the majority of the school would honestly smell sort of bad which was always strange also the fact I still remember this has got to mean something as I left 6ish years ago. As well I remember the art teacher we had was horrible (Christina) and a bore that was far from insightful on anything and I mean anything artistic she would just show slides then make us make copy's of Mondrian or whatever artist she chose that week. I think this is kind of indicative of how the entire school operates, a lot of saying they encourage hands on learning but then only actually allowing a very small amount of actual hands on learning and having just endless lectures on what felt like nothing. They treated the kids as if left alone we went be able to survive for 30 minutes alone which is just silly and it's just far too much cuddling to actually allow any real experience or learning. Also everything said by other reviewers about allowing the children of wealthier families preferential treatment is entirely true. Also there was a bullying problem but that's a completely different story. Also they where just incredible ridged the entire time and made it feel like you couldn't be a kid or have any natural experience unless it went with their very very strict rules that I imagine cater to some parents with more sway over the schools wishes. At the end of the day just Dont send your children there even though there where some positive it's like so heavily outweighed by the amount of bad like a grain of rice versus the sun on a scale and if your kids are there already pull them out and demand a refund. In short the school is a joke and horrible dont send your children there unless you want to ruin their futures it's a horrible farce of place and there is nothing more to say about it really.

Leaps and Boundz truly provides a space for children with diverse abilities to grow, build skills and confidence. I watched my grandson focus for an hour, develop core strength, and become more aware of how to use his body - traversing a balance beam, learning how to safely climb up and down ladders, jump on a trampoline, and effectively throw, bounce and catch balls. Coach Eric was the most knowledgeable person I have seen working with children with disabilities. He is a gentle guide mirroring behavior and gently encouraging children to build their strengths and become the best they can be. All of the staff members I saw were caring and attentive. And Dominique was so thoughtful offering guidance. I asked Eric about the company's overall objectives and he shared that they want to create community for children, families and adults who might feel isolated. What a noble and necessary goal. I would recommend Leaps n Boundz to any parent looking to help their child grow and nourish a sense of achievement and belonging.
