The owner-director is very engaged and willing to work with parents depending on what the day/week brings! With turnkey school pickups, a safe location, and a myriad of on-premises classes (Spanish!

They really take care of my son and he would bring so many arts and craft projects home everyday along with all sorts of writing, math and other fun stuff he does there. I'm impressed how seriously they take security of children and feel very lucky that they are located right next to the Amador Valley Community Park so they can play in a real playground.

This review is for the Huntington Learning Center in Pleasanton…read more My child was falling behind on her subjects in 5th grade. She was assessed at Huntington and we learned that she was a grade level or more behind on certain subjects. We knew that she needed additional support to get up to speed prior to the start of 6th grade. Mona provided a clear action plan to address my child's needs. We were provided a set number of hours that was an estimation of the time needed for my child to catch up to her grade level. We would meet up with Mona every 4-6 weeks to see the progress our daughter was making. We will see the scores our daughter achieved on different subjects. We would also discuss the focus of the upcoming weeks. The improvement was gradual in the beginning. Once my daughter got used to the process and routine, we saw dramatic improvement in her grades. Even her attitude towards learning has greatly improved! Mona mentioned that confidence on the subject matter is what really contributes to the success of a student. As my daughter gained more confidence in her work, we can clearly see that she began having a much more positive attitude about learning. We owe our daughter's success to Hunting Learning Center. Thank you!

We enrolled our two sons, ages 8 and 4, at Best Brains Learning Center Dublin, but our experience…read morewas disappointing. Each class is only 30 minutes per subject, and that time is shared with about 4 other kids. For close to $40 per session, the value just isn't there. During class, the instructors seemed to do the bare minimum. Most of the actual work is pushed onto kids and parents through worksheets, which defeats the purpose of paying for guided learning. What concerned us more was our 4-year-old's experience. When we arrived 10 to 15 minutes early a few times, we found him just sitting and playing instead of being engaged. In a 30-minute session, losing 10 minutes is significant. Overall, it felt unstructured and not worth the cost. We expected more engagement, attention, and value for the price.

The environment feels safe, structured, and welcoming, which has made a huge difference in our child's confidence and routine. My son is currently in TK, and because he's still young, I visited four to five after school centers before choosing one. Take my word for it -- this is by far the best. The center is exceptionally clean, the security measures are reassuring, and the staff is truly engaged with the kids through a variety of extracurricular activities. I also appreciate that they offer programs where children of different age groups can interact and learn from one another. Ms.Bela is wonderful teacher and I give her full credit to what my child has accomplished with writing, reading and social skills. The daily activities are thoughtfully planned -- a great balance of homework support, creative projects, and active play. I especially appreciate how the team encourages positive social skills and helps the kids build friendships in a supportive way. Communication with parents is always clear and proactive, and I feel fully informed about what's happening each week. I appreciate the efforts of Ms.Suganya. Overall, this program has been an excellent extension of our child's school day, and we're grateful for the dedication of the entire staff. Highly recommend

The environment is warm, nurturing, and well-structured, making it a great place for young children to learn and grow. A special thank you to Ms. Bela, who is a truly exceptional teacher. She is patient, caring, and deeply invested in each child's development. Her dedication shows in the way she engages the children, encourages curiosity, and supports both academic and social growth. Our daughter feels comfortable, confident, and excited to go to school every day because of her. The TK curriculum strikes a great balance between learning and play, helping prepare children for kindergarten while still keeping things fun and age-appropriate. Communication with parents is clear and consistent, thanks to Ms.Suganya! Also, the facility is always clean and safe. As parents, we have complete peace of mind knowing our child is in such capable and caring hands. We highly recommend New Learning Grove Academy to any family looking for a positive and enriching early education experience.

Before deciding, I was able to take a tour, which made me feel comfortable right away. The space is clean, welcoming, and well organized. One of my favorite features was the SproutAbout app. It gave me so much peace of mind. I could see where my child was throughout the day, when she napped, what snacks and lunch she had, and even her engagement and playtime with other kids. That level of communication really helped me feel secure knowing she was doing well. The teachers were wonderful, very kind and caring. Miss Kristina stood out in particular; she was happy, joyful, and always willing to answer any questions I had. I also appreciated the hours, which worked perfectly with our work schedule, and the convenient location. Security was solid, and I loved that my daughter had plenty of indoor and outdoor playtime. Overall, we had a great experience and were very happy with the school. I would definitely recommend La Petite Academy in Pleasanton for backup care and look forward to using them again in the future.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, catering to multiple age groups, with instructors who are either former software engineers or MS in Computer Science graduates who truly enjoy teaching kids. The program provides a strong STEM foundation while supporting progressive learning at every stage. For after-school, they offer homework help, school pick-ups, and engaging activities like Chess, Coding, and Robotics. They also run 1-2 hour classes throughout the week for extra enrichment. The facility itself is fantastic--plenty of parking, clean and modern spaces, new infrastructure, and loads of fun tools and toys for kids to explore.

It was three hours of nonstop fun, and we barely had to lift a finger, we just brought the donuts. Their team coordinated everything and made it effortless for us.

After only touring the facility, I will let you know what I witnessed…read more 1. The facility is dirty. From the floors, walls and the bathrooms the children use. I cannot imagine what the kitchen looks like where they prep the snacks. The paint was noticeably chipping off the walls and floor molding. It is not kept up like many other facilities in the area. 2. The outdoor play yard has minimal shade. They do have sun sails up but they do not provide proper shade for the children. 3. I didn't see any children smiling or having fun when we looked into the 2s, 3s and 4s rooms. It was a quiet room, but not in a good way. 4. There were many other safety concerns but the main issue I saw that needs to be addressed was that there were clear wall tacks used on the hallways to hold up art and other things. Toddlers walk the halls and it's a huge safety hazard to them. Tacks always fall off walls and it just takes one toddler to toss it into their mouth in a split second. Using tacks and tapes on the walls is definitely not to code and a violation of safety standards. 5. They are planning on adding infants to the room that has children up to age 2. I haven't seen this done anywhere else. It's a health and safety hazard to have infants with 2 year olds. Do not send your infants here. 6. This was the least racial diverse facility I have toured. It might not be a deal breaker for some, but it is definitely something to consider as it is something to give most parents pause. 7. While the lady who gave the tour was nice enough. She mainly walked me to the rooms and set me down in her office and asked if I had questions. She didn't tell me about their curriculum, enrichment opportunities, ratios, or what makes them stand out against the many other preschools in the area. Perhaps it's because they do not. I am surprised parents send their children to such an expensive facility that is lacking. Parents should do surprise visits to check on the wellness of their kids here. Visiting this place made me so sad for the children who are stuck in these rooms all day-- especially the room with the 2 year olds.
