THANK YOU Brooke and Crosswalk! We can't thank you enough for making our son's SAT prep experience…read morestress free with one-on-one tutoring as well as a fabulous winter test-prep small group class before taking his first SAT. Your teachings are not only helpful with the SAT & ACT, but crossover into other high school exams as well. We have had a wonderful experience, so appreciate your attention to detail, and look forward to next steps soon. Highly recommend!

We moved halfway through the school year in 2022 and no preschool was open to take us. I was…read moredevastated for my then 4 year old. By chance I learned of this secret gem co-op and was able to get a spot. This was my first experience in co-op and it was so much fun. And more importantly, was a wonderfully healing experience for me and my son (middle child who became a big-brother at the height of Covid.) Being in his class taught me how to be a better parent and gave me so many new strategies at home. Having the time together was very valuable to my son. Miss Kristen is beyond amazing with the children and extremely generous with her time, attention and love. Aside from everything I said above, the cost of this program is incredibly low and the financial savings we had from joining co-op helped off-set moving costs. It's an unbelievable value.

Would not recommend it!!!…read more Parenting classes are mandatory and a complete waste of time for an adult. So when it came to priorities it was an easy choice. We had a family member with a terminal illness and in the last weeks of their life, we chose to spend our evenings with them and missed a few "Parenting Classes" and were suspended. In the month before we talked about taking our child out of the class because of the constant coughing and runny noses in the classroom (to protect our family member and not have to wear a mask around them). Some kids were great and participated others just ran around and terrorized the other good kids. Some parents would get together right after school and talk while the kids played with hot wheels (usually 15 or 20 minutes), until we were asked to leave because the kids' sound bothered the school office's secretary.

If your student is a good learner and self starter it's even better. It's a good start for families who need a second tutor over a parent. A good change for kids to experience different learning techniques.

I also really like that they encourage parents to test a class out before committing to it. We joined partway through a session and they pro-rated for us.

Marina Hedenberg is an amazing person that we happened to find back in 2014. Right from the…read morebeginning she did everything that I would've hoped for as a parent as I did hours and hours and hours of searching for the right child care for my daughter. I searched interviewed, and visited the various childcare facilities in the Monterey county area and was disappointed and frightened at some. She was very responsive and scheduled us to come and see her residence after all of the children were home. This told me that she took measures to keep the kids safe. While inside her residence her and her Family made me feel very welcome, gave me a packet of their curriculum, the schedule and gave me a background update about the years she's been working with children. She gave me all the information I needed to make a decision that same day but also insisted I go and do some more research to just verify that she was the right fit. And she was! Our daughter started her program the very next day and has been with her up until this year. Every day my daughter came home happy and told me all about the fun things they did throughout the day including learning the ABC's drawing math, reading books, playing in the outside play structures, making friends, naptime and puzzles. Whenever there was a misunderstanding with another student Marina was always available to answer my questions either via text or call or in person. Marina always made time to give me an update about my child's day which I very much appreciated as I know she was busy. Marina also is very responsible and was able to pick up and drop off most of the kids there and while she did not personally drive or take my daughter I knew that her and her staff that help her very responsible and communicative with all the parents whose children they were looking after. If you have children and want them in the best possible care in the Monterey County area my family and I highly recommend Marina because she takes care of all the kids as if they were her family.

Noel and her editing work are worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY!…read more Once I heard that Noel started Writing Corps, I immediately knew I wanted/needed her to edit my thesis. I know this because, I got to work with her when she was employed by NPS. She went out of her way to help make sure I hit an important milestone with my thesis. She was absolutely amazing by going above and beyond for me. I honestly feel that I may have not completed this program without her. There was no doubt in my mind that I should retain her for the final draft of my thesis. As a Naval Postgraduate student, I highly recommend Noel because she is experienced with NPS preferences. Her method of editing is easily digestible and not intimidating for novice writers. I requested "the works" which is everything, edits, citations, formatting etc. I saved a lot of time and greatly reduced my stress knowing a true professional was taking care of my errors. I could have not crossed the "finish line" without Noel and Writing Corps.

Noel came highly recommended by my master's thesis advisors and for good reason. Her expertise,…read moreorganization, communication, and professionalism put me at ease during an otherwise stressful thesis writing process. She was transparent and clearly explained her process, pricing, and timelines. She has great attention to detail and provided valuable feedback and edits. I strongly recommend working with Noel for any writing project!
