I am a private reading & learning specialist and have shared mutual clients with Udie over the…read moreyears. We have referred our clients to each other for both evaluations and clinical therapy. The following is one example of the many times Udie threw a life line to children who were struggling through her evaluations. When an 8th grade girl's learning challenges presented as a mystery to me, I sent her to Udie for a speech and language assessment. Prior to my meeting Anvi*, her mom had literally drove Anvi to the mental health bldg near my local hospital because she was at a complete loss on how to help her. Anvi's grades had never been great, but they were slipping to almost failing and her standardized test scores were dropping too. The school had no answers & offered little help. Udie's evaluation revealed a significant expressive language delay that affected both reading comprehension and written expression. Anvi's genial nature and unwitting help from adults who filled in the gaps in her communications masked the true nature of her problems. It was like a blanket had been lifted when Udie diagnosed Anvi's language disability. Once helpless, Anvi's mom now had a road map to finding the best way to support her. I still see Anvi around town and she is happy & thriving. I can't imagine what would have happened had Udie not uncovered the source of Anvi's difficulties. Udie is supremely knowledgeable & experienced in her field. She brings intelligence & creativity to address each child's unique profile. Udie offers individually designed programs to fit each child, rather than fit a child into a predesigned program as some well known chain clinics do. My criterion for recommending a professional includes: are they knowlegeable, do they keep up with research, do they communicate my child's needs to me and arethey empathtic & kind. My observations of working with kids for over 30 years is they are not concerned about the furniture or conditions of a place, but how they felt & how they were treated when they were there. I would not recommend anywhere else to someone who needs the services provided by Udie and her staff. *name has been changed

The owner is absolutely insane. I wrote a review and she made a huge fuss about it, even…read morethreatening to put her attorney on me for defamation...for writing a Yelp review. She reached out to Yelp to have my review taken down, and Yelp took it down saying that my review didn't contain enough detail about my experience with the business, so here it goes... My son was supposed to receive services from this business, but there was a delay. When I called the business to discuss this matter, I spoke to the owner Saba at length. Throughout that call, she was very rude and unprofessional towards me - including cutting me off, not letting me speak, not answering my questions directly, and being just plain rude. Based on that call, there was no way in a million years that I would ever let her meet my son. So there you go. If anyone wants any additional details, let me know! ******************** The below is written in response to the comments entered by the owner below: Her comments only reinforce all that I have said. She continues to state that "we NEVER even saw you or served your child". Duh...that's exactly what I said. And this is exactly what I went through when I talked to her on the phone. We went round and round in circles, and my concerns were never addressed. She just doesn't get it. She reported me to her attorney, but her attorney never contacted me. Why? Perhaps because writing an honest Yelp review doesn't constitute defamation. And she also thinks this constitutes cyber bullying. Do you really want your kid with special needs to receive services from someone that thinks a negative Yelp review is cyber bullying and defamation of character? I know what my answer is.

As an extremely shy and reserved boy,…read moreit usually takes him a long time to warm up to new people, but all of the teachers at Play 'N' Learn were incredibly patient and attentive to his well-being. After two full years here, he has truly blossomed and learned so much. Every morning, we dropped him off with complete peace of mind, knowing he was in a safe and caring environment. Ms. Yvonne always greeted us with a smile, and my son constantly shared wonderful stories about her and his other teachers. He also made great friends--including a best friend he couldn't stop talking about at home! We are sad to leave Play 'N' Learn as he moves on to TK this year, but the foundation they built for him has prepared him so well for this next step. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Play 'N' Learn and its amazing staff. We are already looking forward to sending him back for summer camp next year.

As two full-time working parents, reliability and communication are extremely important to us…read more Unfortunately, our experience with the administrative and scheduling side of this practice has been very frustrating. It took nearly three months to secure appointments for my son. The initial appointments were scheduled incorrectly, and I then had to complete additional paperwork to have them corrected, which resulted in further delays in care. Communication from the office has been inconsistent -- each time I called, I spoke with a different staff member and had to re-explain the entire situation. There was also confusion regarding appointment times, despite me notifying the office about schedule changes in advance. That said, I want to be very clear that the therapists -- particularly Ms. Nicole -- have been wonderful. She is passionate, attentive, and clearly cares deeply about her patients. The clinical care itself has been positive. It's unfortunate that the administrative side does not reflect the same level of organization and professionalism as the therapists. I truly hope the practice can improve its scheduling and communication systems, because the clinicians deserve that support. For families who have flexible schedules, this may be a good fit. However, for two working parents who need consistency and clear communication, it was not sustainable for us.

Updated review on my experience at this school -…read more We have been at this school for over a year and wished we had found this school sooner. The school opens at 7:30 am which is helpful for parents like myself who need time be at work by 8 am. They provide snacks/lunch and help the kids go to sleep for nap time. There are 2 concerts each year that your child gets to participate in, and they have parent teacher conference so that you can be engaged with your child's academic journey. The school is gated which gives a great sense of security and safety for your child and the staff. They are open during the summer and have a summer program. Each week there is a special guest/event such as a bubble lady, puppet show, bird show, bike-a-thon and a carnival day. This is truly a great school to consider if you're looking for flexibility and support.
