I can't possibly begin to express my gratitude for Alison and her incredible team at Huntington…read moreLearning Center in Yorktown Heights, New York. My daughter Val absolutely lost her love of learning during her hybrid/COVID school year, despite all of our attempts to keep her engaged. My husband and I ended up moving our family out of state for three years and things only got worse for her, beginning with uncharacteristic behavioral changes both in school and at home. We decided to move back to Westchester, and the first thing we did was enroll Val for summer tutoring because we could not handle the tears and negotiations when it came to homework and the general apathy towards school. Something wasn't right, and we could not figure out what it was, and for 2 years, her teachers had no suggestions that seemed to work. Alison assessed our rising fifth grader and determined that she was still reading and performing at a third-grade level. Our kid was two years behind in school in all areas, and no one caught this for over 2 years. We were doing everything right, and somehow it still went so wrong. Val was in a private school. We did homework together. We read together. It was the HLC assessments that pointed out her academic strengths and weaknesses and addressed how to best approach the academic inadequacies in the most effective ways. We decided to do an intensive summer program, five days a week for 10 weeks during the summer. We continued three times a week come September. In November 2023, Allison sat on a Zoom call with my husband and me, for the first quarter parent-teacher 5th-grade conferences, and before we said anything to her teachers, we wanted to wait and see how they assessed Val. Her school teachers confirmed what we were hoping.They confirmed that all of Val's hard work was paying off. She was reading and writing at a 5th grade level and was hitting all her benchmarks for math and reading. When Alison explained the intensive intervention that Val had completed, the teachers were shocked and never would have imagined how behind this kid had been just a few months prior. Val continued to work with Allison's incredible team three times a week, to continue this evolution and success the rest of the school year. We dropped to "summer maintenance" twice a week summer of 2024, knowing that middle school was just around the corner. Unfortunately, we did have to move away from Westchester again, but the invaluable skills and hard work paid off. My sixth-grade daughter just came home today with a report card stating her 3.1 GPA and is officially an Honor Roll student. Her science teacher has recommended her for honors science next year. While my husband and I have never been focused on grades, this achievement has undoubtedly changed how our daughter views herself academically and what she feels she is capable of. Alison listened. She let me cry. And then she got to work, constantly reassessing the best way to get my kid back on track. Not only is Val academically succeeding, she actively reads in her spare time, seeks out authors of books she's enjoyed independently, and has rave reviews from her teachers to date. Does she want to do her homework immediately after school? No. She's 12. Of course not. Does she voluntarily open her books on the weekend to review and get ahead? Also no. But she does it, and I watch as she utilizes the study skills HLC taught my kid, and then she comes home from school HAPPY. There's no profound way I can possibly express the level of gratitude I have. If sharing the success of one kid who was so turned off to learning, but found her way back to loving her education again, I hope that helps one parent to make the best decision they can and join the HLC community. Trust the process, it is an invaluable investment in your child's education and future.

I visited Huntington Learning Center in Yorktown seeking summer math assistance for my daughter and…read moregeometry Regents prep for my son, which I made clear to the intake assistant director. They advised that the first step was a foundational test to assess their needs, followed by a meeting to discuss options. However, after the testing, I did not receive any meeting confirmation emails and had to call the office to remind them. Despite reiterating my daughter's need for summer help, during a subsequent Zoom meeting, the assistant director informed me they do not offer such services and promised to forward the meeting information, which never arrived. I've tried to move past this, but I remain unsettled. I will certainly caution anyone who asks about my experience and advise them against choosing this center.

Just to elaborate on executive director's Sari's response: 1) "Do your research" - she is 100% correct. Skip the Yelp reviews, and check out their long list of all their violations for 2017. 2) "With social media these days any person is able to post their comment at will" - Sari, we are hard working parents who do have jobs to pay for your services, take responsibility and don't insult your customers for speaking out. 3) "Not every child care center is a match for everyone" - you can tell it to State inspectors next time they show up. 4) "We will gladly discuss any complaints and reviews in person" - ..still waiting! ----- Just to elaborate on executive director's Sari's response, consistent with my experience: 1) "Do you research" - she is 100% correct.
