Ms. Lisa is worth her wait in gold! When my (at the time) kindergartener was struggling with his…read morereading, and hating every second of learning his sight words, we enrolled him with Ms Lisa. Within a short period of time he was advancing through the reading stages. And the absolute best part is he was loving it! Now my 3 year old enjoys classes and camps with her also and she's quite the little book worm. The classroom is warm and inviting and she tailors each class to what they're needing each time. We've been coming here for 3 years and while my son is a much stronger reader and doesn't need that help as much, his handwriting is not great and she helps him a lot with that too. I couldn't ask for a better teacher. My hope has always been that my children grow up loving to read as much as me and they're both well on their way thanks to Ms Lisa and her business! It goes without saying, I recommend Ballantyne Reading Academy to all my friends!

Ballantyne Reading Academy has been a joy to bring my three daughters to. Ms. Lisa is beyond…read moreawesome, sweet and all of my girls love and enjoy their sessions. My kids range from beginner reader, enrichment to remedial support and their work is always tailored to their individual needs. I appreciate the peace of mind this provides knowing the girls are in great hands and their lessons are thoughtfully prepared for and always organized. If you're looking for reading tutoring or just feeding a hungry mind - don't hesitate.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg library district offers a number of very nice regional and special…read morelibrary settings: the South Park Regional, South County Regional, and the library collaboration with the Children's Theatre of Charlotte ... ImaginOn: The Joe & Joan Martin Center on Seventh Street downtown to name just three. Each has specialties that make them individuals. The South Park Regional had a fair collection of books and materials for the younger set, but really excelled at games and toys for engaging kids ... they even had a little cabin the kids could go in. The library itself was newish, clean and easy to get to, with available free parking ... although it is oftentimes full. Unlike some other libraries in the district, this one had more library things for kids to play with, but fewer library materials (books and puzzles). Still and all, nice library and recommended.

Libraries today aren't as quiet as they used to be, but I had plenty of space at my table to be comfortable with my book, notepad, pens, & highlighters.

Would definitely return here for study time, if necessary.

They encourage students to film the end of class recap to take it home and practice. They're generous with their time and feedback, and patient with different learning speeds and styles. Real socials (with lesson) at least once a month. Even starting to do kids classes!!! Drop in, try it out, and once you're hooked (you will be!), get the unlimited class pass which is definitely the best bang for your buck and allows the most flexibility. La mayoría de los instructores hablan español suficientemente (si no son nativos!) para estudiantes que no hablan inglés y a veces las clases parecen bilingües--no tengan vergüenza, vengan!!!

I didn't notice at first since they're in plastic wrap but as I was getting ready for work days later, I took it out and well ... you can see for yourself from the photos below. This place outsources its dry cleaning I think, so they may want to look at the quality of their vendor. I will not be going back after our shirts came back in this condition. There's pit staining in the area that seems to be exaggerated from something as we wouldn't have walked around with them in that condition/ we wear undershirts. There's also more mystery stains. The black marks on the collar are from the seatbelt which we had pointed out prior to the service. These shirts cost $70+ and are pretty much ruined unless I can find someone to reverse the damage.

It is a mystery to them and they cannot understand that slamming the shirt into the pressing press gives you a shirt with the canvas pattern on the folder up cuff. Totally unacceptable. And they are very expensive. Shirts are $2.25 plus tax. To me that is way out-of-bounds and good luck with them continuing to get business at that level. competitors do at least as good with the laundry and dry cleaning and are less cost.
