We've been with Huntington Education for almost a year now, and I can honestly say the experience…read morehas been incredibly encouraging for our son. Math has always been a sore spot for him--especially with his slower processing speed--but the support, patience, and structure provided by the Huntington team has made a difference in both his skills and, more importantly, his willingness to keep trying. What stands out most is the level of personal investment the instructors make in each student. Mr. Justin, in particular, has gone out of his way to understand how my son learns and where he needs extra reinforcement. It never feels like a one-size-fits-all program; it's truly tailored support that meets him where he's at and helps him move forward at his pace. As a parent, my biggest concern has always been that he not only improves academically, but also feels capable of keeping up with his peers--and Huntington has been key in helping us move toward that goal. I trust their approach, and we're fully committed to continuing with their program. I can't recommend Huntington Education enough. They've been a steady and positive partner for our family.

This review is long overdue!…read more We've been part of the Rayuela community for the past five years, and it has truly become more than just a school, it's become our family. Both of our children (who are very different from each other!) have thrived here. It's clear that Rayuela is a place that supports all kinds of learners and personalities. As a non-native Spanish-speaking household, the language aspect was especially important to me. Both of my kids have grown comfortable not only with the Spanish language but also with the diverse cultures that come with it. I'm confident in saying that I have bilingual learners. The teachers are absolutely wonderful and kind. They treat my kids like their own. Even though the school is play-based, both of my children have shown strong academic growth. My oldest was more than ready for kindergarten, and my youngest is on the same path. I can't say enough good things about Rayuela. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, caring community where their child can grow socially, academically, linguistically, and holistically.

My son's Spanish language exploded, he has made close friends and we have found a wonderful community of parents that we hang out with all the time. Our son never wants to leave when we pick him up (and he's there until 5) because he's having so much fun. He's also learning a ton- singing the alphabet, recognizing letters and he comes home with amazing art. We are excited to send our second son to Rayuela when he turns 2! We feel so lucky to have become a part of this special community.

Taking my kids to Luminaris has been the best decision I've made this year. Not only is it an…read moreamazing, well-run learning institution, but my kids have also learned so much Spanish in just a few months! I hear them singing the Spanish songs from their classes, and they've even tried speaking with some of our Spanish-speaking friends. Luminaris is the kind of place where students not only receive excellent instruction but also keep asking to come back because the owner and CEO puts her whole heart into everything she does. She works tirelessly to ensure that every child has the best possible experience while learning. She pays attention to the smallest details in ways that no other program I've taken my kids to ever has. The environment is welcoming, colorful, and inspiring, filled with artwork and projects created by students, hundreds of toys and role-playing activities, educational posters, and visual aids that reinforce Spanish learning. There are also plenty of games, books, and musical instruments that help children learn in creative and engaging ways. She offers prizes and rewards for the kids, along with fun but effective systems that encourage good behavior and class participation. At the end of the year, she organizes an entire recital to showcase everything the students have learned. She even creates original songs for the children and is constantly making silly jokes and funny faces so they feel comfortable being themselves, participating, and enjoying the learning process. Miss Juno develops a highly personalized study plan for each child based on their level, personality, and learning style. She makes sure every student is placed in the class that best fits their needs and is proactive about suggesting changes when she believes a child would benefit from a different group of classmates. When my child was struggling and falling behind, Miss Juno noticed it right away. She asked for my permission to move her to a different class with students who were a better match for her learning style and personality. That level of attention and care is rare. Her classroom activities are thoughtfully planned, colorful, engaging, and, most importantly, effective. I've seen children start with absolutely no Spanish and progress to improvising skits and performing plays in Spanish while filling the classroom with laughter. Because of the positive experience we've had, I've decided to enroll my kids in her art classes as well, so they can continue learning Spanish while being immersed in a safe, creative, and fun environment. Juno is an absolute joy to watch, and kids genuinely love being in her classes. The entire teaching team is also highly professional and dedicated. I wholeheartedly recommend Luminaris Learning Studio to any parent who wants to nurture their child's creativity while helping them learn Spanish in a fun, supportive, and enriching environment

I honestly felt like it would be completely hopeless and I was a lost cause... After many, many, many hours tutoring (I wasn't super diligent with homework TBH), but I was taught everything I need to learn from the basics up to pass my GRE exam!!! On my first day I got a little flustered and actually miscalculated 2+2 it was hilarious! Michael was so patient with me when I needed to re-review material. He made me feel comfortable asking questions, and the office setup provides significant privacy, which was ideal for me. By no exaggeration, the only reason I passed was thanks to the scheduling office and the tutor. I cannot stress enough how helpful they were. If you need tutoring, look no further!!!

It's hard to write a review of a school that had its inaugural year smack dab in the middle of a…read morepandemic, which is why I'm giving it three stars instead of the two that I would be inclined to give it under less extraordinary circumstances. I'll start with some positives, the staff, teachers, and parent community at the school are lovely and kind, and the student body makeup seems to have a good mix of race and socioeconomic backgrounds. The school is lottery-based, so their student body's diversity depends on who they target via marketing efforts. The first red flag I had with the school was attending a parent education night, and the person leading the meeting mentioned that the 3rd-grade class spends the year studying stories from the Old Testament, starting with the "myth" of Cain and Able. Another mother and I did a triple take, we asked, "How is this possible in a public school?" The reply was that they teach these stories a "myths" and not as biblical stories. Around the same time, there was a rumble amongst the parents because some of the children in the older grades were told not to use black and brown crayons because they "weren't as pretty" as the other colors of crayons. In the midst of all that was happening in the world, this felt extremely inappropriate and off-base. That was my second red flag. This prompted me to do some deeper research into the origins of Waldorf because I had come into this school thinking this was a play-based, child-centered approach that didn't stress hard academics in Kindergarten and taught reading when it was developmentally appropriate, etc. The origins of Waldorf are laden with "spiritual", religious and racist undertones and the founder of Waldorf Rudolf Steiner was simply put a religious kook and a racist. This article sums up Waldorf nicely https://medium.com/age-of-awareness/waldorf-schools-are-inherently-racist-cults-91193d1fbef6 There is no science in the curriculum, which they may change later, and if your child turns out to be more academically inclined you will either need to get a tutor to expose them to more complex materials or find them another school. I recently had my child assessed by an independent tutor for first-grade readiness as we are transferring to another school and he had only been exposed to 15-20% of the materials he needed to learn to be ready for 1st grade. Obviously, this was an upsetting revelation. At the end of the day, Waldorf was not for us and I would encourage everyone to research it deeply before committing to having their child attend any Waldorf-based school.
