She came highly recommended by a family member, and although we were on a waitlist for a while, it was absolutely worth it. Over the course of about 9 months, Therese worked with my son and made an incredible difference. She was patient, knowledgeable, and truly understood how to support him in a way that built both his skills and his confidence. By the end of our time with her, he had not only improved tremendously but was reading at his grade level. I can't thank Therese enough for the impact she's had on my son's learning journey. Highly recommend Learning Convergence to any family needing reading support!

** FROM STRUGGLE TO HONOR ROLL THANKS TO THERESE **…read more We turned to Therese FitzRandolph after our son finished sixth grade. At the time, it was clear he was struggling with reading comprehension and test-taking. Therese met with us in person and completed a detailed assessment. For the first time, we had a clear picture of what he needed and how he learned. They met twice a week for 50-minute sessions throughout the next school year. Therese used storytelling, repetition, and verbal cues within a structured approach that gave him tools to follow a narrative, retain detail, and speak with clarity. Their final project was the recitation of a five-paragraph story. She read it aloud once. He took notes, reconstructed it in writing, and repeated the full story back to her word for word. This was not a monologue he had practiced for weeks. It was a cold read, a memory exercise, and a comprehension challenge all at once. He accomplished it through steady work and patient, consistent guidance. As the year unfolded, his confidence grew. His reading improved, and his understanding deepened across subjects. His test scores now place him above grade level. Our son earns honor roll grades, thinks through material carefully, asks questions, and speaks with insight. While many students focus on test prep and recall, he learned to engage in real analysis and deeper comprehension of the material. Therese helped our son step into his own mind. Her approach met him where he was and made space for his strengths to emerge. He enters high school with a stronger foundation, a clearer voice, and the belief that he can succeed. We are deeply grateful.

He is now excited to go to school, loves his teachers, made some new friends and is learning in a much more encouraging and understanding environment. The staff is amazing. From the teachers to the administrators, they all go above and beyond. My child's confidence has improved significantly since starting nearly 2 years ago. He is polite, calmer and overall a happier kid. The techniques they use to teach are working. From the "stop, determine, do" method (which we try and practice at home too) to math processes, these teachers really get it. The kids feel happy, included, understood and most of all respected. Thank you New Bridge for literally altering the trajectory of my son's life.

My son has been working with Ms Gabby and Ms Claire and I have seen how his math skills and confidence has improved. His testing scores have also improved since joining. Hes been at Mathnasium for over a year (started in 3rd Grade..currently in 4th Grade) but in the first 3 months his math skills have changed. He can initiate his homework now and he has a better attitude toward his work. Thank you for giving me peace of mind and helping my son to be the best version of himself when it comes to learning math. It's not worth losing your mind, spilling tears when trying to help your kid learn math skills that you haven't used in over 20 years. Mathnasium teaches this generation's math concepts. Why stress both you and your child when you have this program to guide them.

We moved our child recently from another school to Lifetime after wanting more structure in an…read moreacademic setting, balanced with group play and exploration. Every child and family have different needs and it was important that we found teachers and an administration that was willing to partner with us to address any concerns and proactively work together to find solutions. We have been very impressed with the leadership, admin and teachers' transparency, accountability and communication. So many schools can feel like a corporate profit driven endeavor and we have observed that Lifetime cares deeply about children development and curating their interests. A simple example is that we asked that our child be allowed to observe the classroom Montessori 'work' session in action before making a decision to enroll her formally (this would be the first time our child would observe a Montessori class in person).The school year had already started and the Director, Kristin, asked that we hold off until the second or third week of school so that she could support the teachers to protect the integrity of what they were trying to establish in the new classroom on the first week of school without creating a distraction. She could have easily agreed to allow us to observe sooner so we could enroll earlier (other schools did), etc... it's through small actions and decisions that we felt comfortable placing our child there with a team of educators and admin that truly put the children's wellbeing and needs first. They also have set up a system of room parents that are very helpful to guide fellow parents with onboarding, external play dates and organizing events. There is no perfect childcare or school, but at the end of the day, we chose Lifetime because we are confident that the whole team works together to communicate openly and will partner together to honor what's best for our child. It's also a great sign when the teachers choose to coteach together for multiple years, clearly, they are enjoying it :). Thanks to the whole team for putting in their efforts to create a space for children to explore, learn and play!

They are so passionate and nice people, who have so much love for the children. I heard they will have the 2 year old class starting this year led by Ms Casey, I think thats great. The tuition is one of the best and can't really beat the teacher:students ratio here as most places are 1:12 for older kids, but here it never goes more than 1:6. The hours are short though, 9 am-2 pm. So no nap time for the kids but it's ok, they can nap at home, even better for mommy! At this point there's a new director on board and although sometimes there can be some miscommunication between the parents and school, overall I still love this place.

We love the teachers and director for giving our family such a wonderful preschool experience. The school takes a well-rounded approach to the whole child. There is a nice blend of play-based instruction, direct academic enrichment, montessori-style learning, and faith-based learning. My kids are very different and the program has met their needs so well. The kids are exposed to age-appropriate math, science, literacy, and language through experiential learning. My son has become a "biology expert, a chef, and an explore" this year. It is a very small program so the kids get a great deal of individual attention. My 8 year-old is still very close with some of the friends he made while he was here. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to send our children to such a loving program. Because it is so small, the program fills up quickly. Prospective parents must tour the facility and meet with the director prior to enrollment (in mid-March).
