The staff is absolutely awesome and really invest a lot of time and energy getting to know the kids and the things that motivates them. They also talk to me regularly to see how my son's learning is going at home which I greatly appreciate. He loves going there and has made so many friends. I wish I could send him every day!

I chose this learning center because it was presented as an inclusive environment for…read moreneurodivergent children. After more than a year of consistent effort, communication, and trying to make things work, I ultimately did not feel that the level of support or collaboration matched what my children needed. My 9-year-old daughter repeatedly shared that she struggled to be included during group activities. She often said she would ask to join and was denied, or she would tell a teacher and was told they would "talk to the other kids," but the situation continued without follow-through. Over time, she began telling me she didn't want to ask anymore because it felt pointless. As a parent, it is my responsibility to advocate for my children, and I brought these concerns to the staff and director multiple times. I also observed patterns of certain children consistently sticking together while others were left out. Although I understand that friendships form naturally, I expected staff to guide inclusive interactions--especially in a program that emphasizes social learning. Instead, I was told that I was "asking for too much." There was also a situation where another child's teasing left my daughter in tears. When I asked how these situations were handled, I was told it was typical behavior. While disagreements and conflicts do happen between children, I expected more structured intervention and support in line with the center's stated values. I also noticed my daughter regularly sitting alone during snack time while other children clustered together. When I pointed this out as an opportunity to encourage inclusive social behavior, the response I received was that children simply sit where they choose. While this is true I felt the situation highlighted an ongoing lack of guided support. Also where director Nancy had my daughter sit alone and when my daughter said she wanted to sit with the girls she was scolded "it doesn't matter!". A social-skills supervisor who observed my daughter noted that staff might benefit from additional training on how to support neurodivergent students, which reflected my own experiences. My son also encountered challenges. He was disenrolled due to behavior concerns, and I took every step requested by the center to secure additional support so he could return. Even with outside support staff present, I did not see the level of engagement or consistency needed for him to participate successfully. Throughout the year, I made multiple attempts to collaborate and offer constructive feedback. Based on my interactions, I did not feel that feedback was well-received or that my concerns were taken seriously. As a parent of neurodivergent children, advocating for them is essential, and I did not feel the partnership I hoped for was present. While this center may work well for some families (only for the families they personally know), it did not align with our needs or the level of support I expect in an environment that promotes itself as inclusive. I know what culture and values I want for my children and this is not it

The growth I've seen academically and in his confidence has been truly remarkable. During every ongoing conference, the staff consistently provides detailed updates on how Sebastian is learning and how engaged he is during his sessions. They do a great job communicating exactly what he is working on and how he is progressing. The teachers regularly share feedback on his skill development, especially in reading. They encourage him to sound out words he doesn't know, then read passages with him after his attempt to ensure he fully understands the material before answering questions. What I appreciate most is how supportive and encouraging the staff is. They always reward Sebastian for his efforts, reinforce positive behavior, and work to build his confidence. He is constantly reminded to keep up the good work and reassured that he is doing well, which has made a huge difference in his motivation. Sylvan has been an amazing support system for Sebastian, and I am very grateful for the dedication, communication, and care they provide. I highly recommend Sylvan Learning Center in Northridge to any parent looking to see real growth and confidence in their child.

Our two children have been attending Kumon for the past three years, and we are so grateful for the positive impact it has had on their learning. The program helped them build a strong foundation in math and reading while also teaching them valuable skills like discipline, consistency, and confidence. The instructors and staff were always kind, encouraging, and genuinely invested in our children's progress. They took the time to support them through challenges and celebrated their achievements along the way. One of the things we appreciated most was seeing our children become more independent learners. They developed better study habits, greater perseverance, and a sense of pride in accomplishing goals on their own. Thank you to the entire Kumon team and Ms Sadia for your dedication, patience, and encouragement over the past three years. We truly appreciate the role you have played in our children's academic journey.

My daughter started this program when she was very young, and she just completed the math program this month. From the very beginning, Ms. Sadia and Mr. Tariq were incredibly welcoming and supportive. The atmosphere of encouragement and learning was evident right away. My daughter completed both the English and math programs--she graduated from the English program first and continued with math until recently completing that as well. She has always been self-motivated, but this program further strengthened her independence and ability to learn in a structured environment. Whenever I had questions or concerns, Ms. Sadia and Mr. Tariq were generous with their time. They even provided their personal phone numbers and were always available, kind, patient, and helpful. The tutors at Kumon are also excellent--dedicated and effective teachers who truly support the students. I wholeheartedly recommend the Kumon Center in Northridge. If anyone would like to learn more about my family's experience, feel free to ask Ms. Sadia for my contact information--I would be happy to share more with any parent considering this program.
