But I was reassured once speaking and meeting with our amazing instructor Matthew. He called before the sessions to go over details, answering any and all questions.

Thank you kid swim for getting us your number one man Matthew.

My daughter started lessons with very little confidence in the water, and thanks to Cynthia's patience, encouragement, and incredible teaching skills, she is now not only swimming but truly loving it! Cynthia has a natural gift with children--she made each lesson fun, engaging, and perfectly tailored to my daughter's pace and comfort level. What impressed me most was her ability to balance safety, skill-building, and fun all at once. My daughter would light up before every lesson and leave the pool beaming with pride. Thanks to Cynthia, my daughter has developed strong swimming skills and a newfound confidence that will stay with her for life. We're so grateful for the care and dedication Cynthia brings to her work. She's a true gem and a major asset to Waterworks! Highly recommend her to any parent looking for a kind, skilled, and passionate swim instructor!

We did a couple days of the immersive class with her and after the second day she was laughing and loving every second with teacher Jackie. She loved it so much that after the end of the four day immersive classes (45minute 1:1s) she wanted to keep doing classes. So we signed her up for a few more 1:1s once a week. After a couple more of them, she was jumping off the deep end, floating, swimming back to the ledge and pulling herself out all by herself. The patience and joy teacher Jackie brought was worth every penny!

Thank goodness I bumped into Coach Peter who suggested she come to one of their classes. In 6 sessions she shaved 50 seconds off her time, ended up qualifying for JGs (with 10 seconds to spare) AND decided to swim regularly with their team. A true miracle. All the coaches (shout out Shahr, Christian, Carlos) are great and my daughter really responds to them. It was a HUGE stroke of luck to have found this group when I did and I am eternally thankful for their efforts.

Four years ago I was faced with a decision....where do I put my daughter for 6th grade? My…read moredaughter has ADHD accompanied with an auditory processing disorder. At that time she was attending a small public school in West Hollywood in a class of 36 children with no teachers assistants. She was completely lost in all subjects, which also led to low self esteem. She was limited to 45 minutes of resources per day, which was really the only help/ teaching she received, the rest of the days were a loss. Through a friend, we were referred to Summit View West. I scheduled an appointment to take a tour of the school (four years ago)and brought my daughter along. That day, my daughter made her decision...she said, "this is the school that I need. I don't want any other school but here! Do what you have to do to get me into this school!"....and I did. Today, my daughter will be entering her third year at Summit View West, and every day that goes by we feel blessed that we are part of this amazing school. Since my daughter started, she has only become more confident in all subjects, and she embraces learning new concepts. The teachers make sure all students are on the same page and, with an understanding of the material before they move on. The administration is always welcoming and hypersensitive to any concerns a parent or student might have. The school is a loving community that looks out of one another. I feel that if anyone leaves a negative yelp comment about Summit View West, it is only out of frustration of not having their child funded by their school's district, or the Help Group does not think the school is the right fit for the child in question. The administration is highly educated, qualified and familiar with making the right decisions that would best fit the students needs.

She "gets" my son. She takes the time to listen and has been a huge advocate for him. His school counselor is really amazing. She is so well trained in determining the functions of my son's behaviors, offering him tools/strategies that will help him cope. I will continue to post updates as we continue on our journey.
