He has a team of staff working for him and with my husband and myself to meet his needs. My son has his own weekly therapy sessions as part of his support within the school, as do my husband and myself so that we are all aligned for his care and needs. The teachers have been creative and supportive of him throughout his time at Lucy Daniels. Throughout his entire time at the school the focus has been on meeting his needs where he is at, while giving him the opportunities to grow. I was honestly so surprised by some of the other reviews I've read here. We have relied on the support Lucy Daniels has provided us and our son for years and I really don't think he would have thrived as much as he has without Lucy Daniels.

I'm writing this review in an effort to spare another family from an emotionally painful and very…read morecostly experience. I strongly urge you to do your research, get more than one opinion, read reviews on local Facebook groups, and listen to your gut before deciding to enroll your child into this school. Dr. Rosenblitt (who is a founder of LDC), deemed my 3 year old as having a severe mental illness after only taking a family history and observing my son playing with legos for 20 minutes. Without any hesitation, he told my husband and I that we should take it as seriously as though we just received a diagnosis of leukemia. We were strongly encouraged to enroll our son into their "therapeutic" school as the only way to preserve his development. We were promised a clinical team that would work hand in hand with us and the teacher to help our son thrive in a social setting and to better cope at home. Unfortunately, the school failed to deliver on all of the promises they made to us. The lead psychiatrist who was assigned to my child and in charge of the care plan, Dr. Kunaparaju, never my son in the month he was enrolled at the school. She also never read his history before our first meeting and didn't know who he was or why he was at the school. On top of that, there was no care plan or goals or any type of formal assessment that the "team" was working from. When my husband or I would press for answers to our concerns, we ping ponged between the psychiatrist, the Educational Director (Jen Reid, who is not clinical), or the lead teacher (also not clinical) - none of whom ever gave us a straight answer. We were told their approach was reflective and that we need to start getting our minds around the fact that there is nothing we could do for our son other than to try and maintain. Unwilling to accept that as an answer, I received second and third opinions and have learned just how incorrectly they diagnosed him and how inappropriate it was for them to tell us he has a severe mental illness without any sort of formal assessment or diagnostic testing. Separately, this school is completely unsafe under their current operations. Classrooms are chaotic and teachers are inexperienced and/or in over their heads. There is no protocol for backup support where there is a student demonstrating unsafe behavior. All classes simply rely on a single person (the Education Director) to come and fill in if needed. Parents and children go freely between the classroom and the main hallway with low to no oversight. Worst of all, there were several instances where the only adults present with the students were parents because the teachers were too overwhelmed with a situation going on with another student! Additionally, the classroom is not structured for pre-k kids; even with a stool they can't even reach the sink or the soap dispenser. And while they pointed to COVID as the reason behind the delay of their new playground, there was not a single age appropriate toy available in their outdoor space. My child resorted to filling an empty bucket with mulch. Worst of all, children were made and expected to play and eat outside when the heat index was above 90. Thankfully I was there on those days and was able to bring my son inside. There was another little girl that asked to go inside because it was too hot and she was told no. As a parent who stayed with my child for 3hrs a day, every single day that he was there (they failed to help me with a transition plan), the situations I witnessed were appalling. This school was very quick to take our money and then didn't support us in any of the ways they had promised. This was truly a heartbreaking experience I hope no other parent has to go through. Please learn from our costly mistake and avoid this school.

We couldn't offer the support our daughter needed and turned to Burke for help. What a tremendous turnaround! Our child really did go from D's to A's! The awesome staff at Burke act as an intermediary between parents and teachers. They are happy to attend parent-teacher conferences, regularly check SPAN, keep up with homework assignments and projects, communicate with teachers and at the end of every session, wrap up the day nicely with a neat little to-do list. Burke is less expensive than other, more well known facilities, but their services are just as valuable.

Last winter, I was recommended by my neighbor to use Mathnasium. She said that they gave her daughter the confidence to believe in herself and do better. Lessons are conducted on site. There is no assigned homework and so I have used this time for "me". It is much better monitoring his progress rather than fussing and getting upset when he doesn't get what I am trying to convey. After my son's first introduction day at Lead Mine Mathnasium, he loved it! He wanted to stay longer. Said he had fun! It's been 4 months now and he scored above average on his first math EOG earning a 5. Leo and Jeff have been very helpful in addressing my concerns when I see my son's completed homework for school. They follow up on his weak areas and definitely gave him the confidence he needed to move forward. Now my son knows he can do better and is reaping a bountiful summer for his great grades. We could not have done it without Mathnasium!

The tutor at Mathnasium tried 3 different approaches and found the one that clicked with my daughter. In 3 months, she went from failing to honor roll in math. When my younger daughter had the same problems in math, I signed her up for math tutoring 3x a week. I assumed that she would have the same success in the same time period. The math tutors showed me how Younger Daughter's challenges were very different than Older Daughter's challenges. These tutors have such patience! They kept working and working with her and never let on how frustrating it was to explain the same concept repeatedly. I knew that I couldn't do the same tutoring at home. They kept her interested in learning and never gave up on her. After a year of tutoring, my daughter finally, finally understood what they had been talking about and her math grades have been increasing ever since. Even before her grades improved, her frustration was reduced. The tutors are so encouraging and they have different ways of approaching the problem. The tutoring is also geared to her level so she doesn't feel left behind or the "stupid one" because all classwork has to stop because she needs yet another explanation. My daughter would jump out of the car and bounce into math tutoring. What better recommendation for a math tutoring than the happy face of my daughter?
