As a language learner, I appreciate Dr. Shannon's sensitivity and passive knowledge of Chinese. As someone who reads a lot, she is also well read and can follow my ideas. Since working with Dr. Shannon I have improved a lot and my clients have noticed. I recommend Dr. Shannon to anyone who is a leader, manager, or business owner for her.

When I came to Dr. Wong Lerner, I needed help with my speech for the purpose of my work, and to develop my career. But I gained so much more. Dr. Wong Lerner conducted a very thorough evaluation of my speech to start, and then a couple of weeks later went over an "Accent spectrum" report that had all of the areas of speech that needed attention. What impressed and still impresses me about Dr. WL's expertise of speech, working with ESL people, and language (she has a passive knowledge of Chinese and some other languages) is that she knows so much in so many different areas. But also, it's the way she makes me feel safe and comfortable with this process of re-learning English for my job and my personal growth that would have otherwise been very difficult for me. And was difficult. I have already shifted my speech from a very closed mouth and not being able to pronounce many different consonants and vowels and words, to now where I have moved past much of that and I am learning speech patterns, and more complicated aspects of speech. I have learned not only how to speak better, but I've become more confident at my job and in my life. Shannon taught me how to speak more clearly but also how to speak up for myself! I do not hesitate to recommend her to any ESL speaker for these same accent reduction services (or I heard she works with UK speakers). This will be a lifelong set of lessons for me! Thank you, Dr. Shannon Wong Lerner!

Thank you, Grade Power Learning!…read more I'm incredibly grateful for the team at Grade Power for the role they played in my daughter's transformation. She recently graduated from Zehnder Ranch Elementary and was honored with the Nancy Zehnder Award for exceptional academic growth -- along with a $250 scholarship. She used to struggle and fall behind in class, but with the guidance, patience, and structured support from Grade Power, she has not only caught up but is now thriving. Her confidence has grown, her spirit has blossomed, and she's entering high school excited and motivated. She even says she wants to become a psychiatrist one day! This kind of growth doesn't happen overnight -- and it doesn't happen alone. I truly believe this was a team effort, and Grade Power was a big part of it. Thank you for helping her believe in herself and for supporting her every step of the way. Highly recommend this program to any parent looking to nurture their child's academic and emotional growth.

We've seen great results since our child began here a few months ago. We are so happy and satisfied…read morewith the staff! Thank you Grade Power!

The rooms are large with decently sized cubicles facing the walls so it feels more private and stays quieter than other testing locations. The equipment is up to date and user friendly. They even offer tutoring to help you prepare for an upcoming test. I took the CSET at a location off Howe where I was not in a cubicle but at a long table with the people on either side of me almost touching me, breathing heavily, and whimpering the entire time. It was very distracting, so much so that I chose a different location for my first CSET. I'm thankful I found this location. I took all 3 CSET subtests here, and will take any other tests I need in the future here as well.

My heart found its home with My Tutoring Partners, previously Home Tutoring Plus in 2016. I was living in the Bay Area at the time and working for another company. I was pursued by HTP when they saw my resume on LinkedIn. I had room to accept a few students that year. The following year, I moved back to Sacramento and worked for them exclusively Being part of the My Tutoring Partners tutoring team gives me and others the opportunity to be matched to students who will benefit from the differing gifts that we each carry. It also offers us as tutors the support of an admin team to manage the bookkeeping end, which allows us to focus our undivided attention on the students. It's an environment in which we can each experience the truth of the expression that "together we are better" and edify one another for the part we are each doing. My experience is that each person on the team is a 25 out of 5 stars person, and I am extremely grateful to be part of the team.

Handing your child over is so hard, but these ladies were a God send. From day 1 we were both so comfortable, I never worried about her for a second. That comfort is immeasurable.

Now, almost three years later, he's transitioning to TK, and while we're excited for this next chapter, leaving Peek A Boo feels incredibly bittersweet. From the very first visit, my husband and I felt confident in our decision. Joy took the time to give us a tour of her home and walked us through everything she provides--structured routines, meals and snacks, learning activities, and most importantly, a safe and nurturing environment. Signing the contract shortly after felt like a no-brainer. The setup was exactly what we were looking for. Peek A Boo offers so much more than just care. Each day includes circle time (songs, counting, shapes, projects to bring home), marker time (drawing, coloring, learning to write names), outdoor play, naps, and consistent routines that help young children thrive. Our son's speech and confidence noticeably improved within the first few months--something we attribute largely to the positive environment and social interaction at daycare. Joy and her two amazing caregivers truly became like family to us. They celebrate birthdays and holidays, and there's a real sense of community. Trusting someone with your child, especially at such a young age, isn't easy--but not once did we ever feel our son was unsafe or uncared for. Joy is incredibly transparent, professional, and communicative--whether it was a quick text, a newsletter, or an email about upcoming vacations or events, we were always in the loop. We are so grateful for the love and care our son received at Peek A Boo. He adores Joy and his friends, and we know he's going to miss seeing them every day. We absolutely loved our time here and already plan to enroll our next child when the time comes. Thank you, Joy, for giving our son such a beautiful and loving early childhood experience--we will always hold Peek A Boo close to our hearts. We highly recommend Peek A Boo Daycare to any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for their little one.

My kids are here, but I don't have to clean up after them. It is a fantastic combination of spaces that fit our whole family. All of the teachers and staff have been very nice and courteous. They are genuinely engaged with our kids, helping them to become good humans. It is definitely more than a daycare, it is a school and a place of growth and community.

I work for the state and my coworkers told me about this place. after the first tour with the incredible director, I actually cried. this place was a breath of fresh air. it was so much better than my kid's previous daycare. the director was so loving to myself and my son. they have taken impeccable care of my son since the day he started. he struggled immensely over potty training at school. the director took so much time to work with my son one on one. she completely respected and saw what he needed to feel comfortable and made that happen. this school has a great app where pictures and notifications are constantly posted. they are always in communication about food that was or was not eaten, potty time, nap time, everything. and they are always just a message away with a very very quick response time. the first few weeks and even month of drop offs were so hard to see my son cry but I was always relieved seeing pictures within 20 minutes of him playing and smiling. it was the most comforting thing to me. I couldn't be happier that we made the change to go to this school. they have truly been a godsend to me and my family, especially my son. I would recommend this care facility to anyone.
