But mostly just building his confidence in his approach to school assignments, study skills, testing and preparing for college essays.

When I first started at her Marin Spanish School I knew very little Spanish, practically, nothing. Homeschooling allowed Emilie and I the flexibility to create our own curriculum with fun activities and unique projects! Her dedication and passion about the language is what made the whole experience so wonderful. In nine months she was able to teach me so much and so well, I got qualified to go in to Spanish 3 in the private school I got accepted to! She is so thorough, and organized, and she truly cares about her students' progress. Her passion and enthusiasm for the Spanish culture got me so eager to learn. Learning about the "Day of the Dead" and Spanish culture every lesson was so much fun! I was looking forward to her classes every week. She is such an inspiration to me. Best teacher!

After going through the program with her trainer Amanda, she is now confident, and willing to work through frustrations. Reading is becoming more natural for her and her spelling has improved tremendously! The best part is she wants to do her best now, rather than feeling discouraged and wanting to give up. Thank you to Amanda and LearningRx for making such a positive change in my daughter's life!

My daughter is now in college and thriving! She brought her SAT scores up and she has more confidence now than she ever has because of Teresa. I highly recommend her. Yes I've paid for cheaper tutors they where a waste of time. You get what you pay for with Teresa , a real credentialed experienced teacher. Thank you Teresa. Sincerely, Rick, Evette & Diana Feigel

The building is really easy to find, as it is a bright pink building right across from the Phoenix Theater! They have their own parking lot next to the bank, so you don't need to struggle to find parking (as they are downtown Petaluma). The price for a tutoring session is $45, but you can get package deals that lower the price of the session when you buy the package deal. Amathoasis has many students who come in for tutoring, so you definitely need to book way ahead of time. They are extremely busy!

Our daughter comes home brimming with new knowledge, skills, and excitement every day. Vanessa and Jose provide great structure, but also flexibility. We love that there are updates sent most days too, with pictures and videos so we can get a glimpse at what she's doing. We also highly value the social skills Vanessa and Jose foster in the kids; our daughter has learned to take turns, share, speak politely, and care for others. The friendships she's developed with the other kids her age are incredibly sweet to see (and it's been wonderful getting to know other ABC parents too!), and she has learned to care for the younger babies as well, which was super helpful when her baby sister recently arrived. We are so thrilled to have been recommended ABC Learn and Grow, and grateful to Vanessa and Jose for their care. We can't wait for our second daughter to start with them soon!

Ms. Carolynn and Laura have been such a huge and wonderful part of our lives. When we first moved…read moreto Petaluma we searched all over town for an in-home daycare that would offer quality care at an affordable price for the times that we needed. That narrowed the field quite a bit immediately. With a little more research it was quickly evident that Carolynn's stands apart from the rest. Here's how: While Carolynn runs a small operation, she is professional and offers many things that come with the bigger organizations. She is priced competitively. She offers extended care, before and after the normal school day at a small additional rate. (Extended care was HUGE for our family.) She helps to build community by offering several annual and monthly events including drum class, wood shop class, parent nights, and potlucks. Carolynn offers breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack to the kids. She serves organic foods for the most part. She also has a beautiful garden and nearly everyday she serves produce from her garden to the kids (which the kids often helped to plant and harvest). The kids learn so much about taking care of plants and really enjoy eating all the veggies. Aside from the garden, Carolynn has a small above ground fish pond (not in the school area), small colorful birds, chickens, and many play areas in the school yard. She is a huge animal lover and her beloved dogs and cat mingle with the students throughout the day. Her love of and respect for animals is shared with the kids. In the classroom, Carolynn and Laura work as a united team. They are consistent, kind, fun, and firm. They use a positive discipline approach to correcting misbehaviors. The kids learn many important life skills like putting their things away, hanging their coat, washing their hands before eating, meditation and giving thanks. Students learn through themes (ex: rainforest) and practice all sorts of skills through independent work. They focus on one letter and number each day and the hand sign that goes with it. Both Carolynn and Laura communicate easily and often with parents. We don't go more than a couple days without a picture or a story in text-form. It always brightens our day. When they have successes or concerns with our son they share them immediately. Carolynn seeks solutions to any problems in a loving and persistent manner, often seeking parent participation in the solution. Carolynn and Laura know our son. They really know him. He is VERY energetic, opinionated, caring, and intelligent. So, in short, he's a handful. We couldn't imagine any place better for him. He goes to a daycare (school) where the adults care for him. They are consistent in their expectations of him. And he is challenged by them. We are very thankful we enrolled our son in Carolynn's Montessori and had 3 wonderful years there! We can not wait until our younger son starts there! (Many families send multiple kids through her program!)
