My updated review reflects our family's experience at Ren from grades 1-8. Our child is now a…read moreFreshman at St Mary's Academy and is on the honor roll despite having some learning differences. Ren prepared our daughter for a rigorous college prep program. Although she had some nervousness about final exams and needed a primer on letter grades and GPA, she was academically well-prepared. The girls who attend St Mary's after Ren School seem to excel. Most importantly, Ren was instrumental in helping my daughter develop a strong sense of herself. Ren's holistic approach to education, with a focus on social and emotional development, is stellar. It mattered to me that our daughter's education encompassed far more than just book learning. Over the years, she was nurtured and went from a timid and anxious child to a confident and creative young woman. As a college professor, I recognize the importance of academic preparedness. I also know that social and emotional stressors can make it challenging to learn. Being in a safe community where she was known and cared for by all the teachers meant the world to our family. Thank you, Ren!

Ren is still a really magical place, as per my previous review. Like at most smaller schools,…read morespecific experiences and accommodations will vary by grade and teacher, which means it can be a bit of a roll of the dice year to year. My experiences thus far are still all with the lower school, which has a noticeably different feel than the upper, though there's abundant mingling in all the good ways. Reading through a bunch of other more recent reviews I'm updating mine to reflect reality on some points that others have found frustrating in theirs: * The school does not have specific services, expertise or accommodations for neurodiverse kids. There is no counselor or administrator with specific training or credentials for helping ND scholars, and the overall body of staff lacks up-to-date pedagogy and training on the most current and effective ways to help these students, though there are *plenty* of well-meaning, helpful adults on the team, who do their very best. That said, the open, creative and varied nature of the environment *can* make it a much better fit for some ND kids than a standard classroom, and as such there are many ND kids in the student body who are thriving. But it's important to make sure that your kiddo will fit within the (not super explicit) boundaries when deciding if Ren is a good fit. Be open and clear about any special needs/quirks/features of your child to make sure it'll be a good fit, and if your visit day leaves you with open questions, ask for another one! Everyone wants everyone to succeed and no one is helped by accepting a student who won't flourish. * The school is not well organized, in terms of paperwork, documentation, administrivia, follow-up, etc. If you're looking for the well-oiled accountable machine of larger or more established environments, you may find this very frustrating. Everything takes a while, and you generally have to bring things up a bunch of times before things start moving. It's a worthwhile trade for a space where your kid can feel safe and happy, but one you need to decide to make so it doesn't irk you along the way. * While the kids form solid and important relationships in school, that does not extend out to the parent-body, which can leave some families feeling isolated. No PTA or parent interest groups, and minimal volunteer participation, though there is a core of very willing and available parents who show up if an effort can be organized for a specific issue or by a specific class. I remain an enthusiastic parent of multiple scholars, and am grateful that a welcoming and creative space like Ren exists, even if it does have rough edges to keep working on. If you find me in a local parent group or some such thing, I'm always happy to talk about Ren and answer questions. Good luck!

We had visited a couple other learning centers/daycares in the area, neither of which left us feeling like they were right for our family. After our initial walk through and meeting with Nupur Singh who is the centers Director and teacher, we knew this was the place for us! Our little guy ended up attending for a little less then 3 years until graduating to Kindergarten this year. Before he started, our son was exceptionally shy when interacting with those outside of our family. Preschool was proving to be no exception but the teachers worked with him with patience, and gave him all the time he needed to come out of his shell. Our experience while he was in their care was a positive one and helped build an good academic foundation for elementary school. Him leaving this year was bittersweet for our family but we feel fortunate for the experience that we had and to have found teachers who truly care for their students.

I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon WYLC, specifically Teacher Nupur who showed a very deep and purposeful interest in the work she is doing. In all of my years of working in child care facilities, I had not seen nor experienced anything nearly as intentional, child-centered, or loving as the environment that Teacher Nupur creates for these children. My daughter has attended since the beginning of the year 2024 and I have only wonderful things to say about the program. Teacher Nupur cares deeply for each child and provides so much love and support in her facility to help them thrive as individuals and become confident in themselves. This also shows in the amazing teachers that she trains personally so that each child is met with a loving, respectful and supportive teacher. She even cooks healthy food for the children that my daughter grew to love. (food that she wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole at home!) So much of what I love about the program, can be seen just by walking through the facility. Each wall and corner carefully and thoughtfully put together to create a kid friendly, positive and calm space. We love Teacher Nupur and are heart-broken to have to leave due to moving for work. Finding a new childcare facility that compares will be a near impossible feat.
