Their program provided the extra support our son needed alongside the reading intervention he was receiving at school, helping him accelerate to reading at grade level. The learning environment kept him engaged, especially the token reward system. He loved earning tokens and was motivated to save for the top-shelf prizes, which was a great lesson in delayed gratification and working toward a bigger goal. The most rewarding part of the experience was watching his confidence grow. As his reading skills improved, so did his belief in himself. Seeing him reach the point where he no longer needed additional reading support at school was an incredible milestone and something we're so proud of. We're grateful to the Sylvan team for helping him achieve such a tremendous accomplishment.

I asked her if she'd be interested in tutoring during her stay. I first let her meet Joanie and told her after the meet she could decide if she'd like to continue. My niece was open to the suggestion right away. After the meet up my niece seemed excited, and 3 days later she was reading a book instead of watching TV on her free time. Joanie helped instill knowledge and confidence in my niece, I am grateful for her guidance, she even taught me a few things while sitting in and helping at home.

The problem: My daughter's 6th grade math teacher had embraced "common core" methodology so…read morecompletely that there was little to no actual teaching in the class. The students were left to figure out the curriculum more or less by themselves. Even though my daughter had maintained an "A" in the class through the first 3 quarters of the school year, my wife and I became concerned that our daughter was not receiving instruction sufficient to prepare her for future math courses. Our daughter was becoming increasingly more frustrated with her teacher and her class and the lack of instruction & it was clear to us that if we did not take action, her grade was likely to go down over the final quarter of the school year. The solution: One of our daughter's soccer teammates had been enrolled at Success Tutoring and very highly recommended Success to us to help our daughter with her math situation. We met with the very experienced, organized, knowledgable & congenial folks in charge at Success and were very impressed with their understanding of our situation, their assessment of our daughter's abilities and needs & their recommendation of a tutor to assist our daughter. We signed our daughter up for 10 weeks of tutoring - enough to get her to the end of the school year. Each week our daughter happily attended her one hour tutoring sessions, knowing generally what she wanted to review with her tutor. After each session, she had only very positive things to say about her tutor and his effectiveness in teaching her what her math teacher did not. In other words, our daughter had an extremely POSITIVE experience with her tutor. And she has retained her "A" in her math class. The final is in a few days and she feels very prepared. Recommendation: I would happily, unequivocally & strongly recommend Success Tutoring to any family with a need for outside assistance with any of very wide variety of subjects. We are thrilled and relieved to know that if / when a situation arises in the future where either of our kids need academic assistance, we can turn to Success Tutoring for guaranteed help. Like all institutions, public schools are flawed, and situations requiring outside assistance do arise from time to time. We are thankful & reassured that when such situations do arise, Success Tutoring will be there for us!

My son did get the help he needed for his 6th grade advanced math struggles and final testing.Their professionalism isn't questionable. What got me disappointed is the impressive greediness, excessive ambition, a slight inflexibility. I asked for a meeting/consultation to get feedback from my son's tutor, to determine if he was in the right math program at school. I asked for a brief 5 to 10 minutes. They suggested that it wasn't enough time to talk so they suggested 30 minutes, I said ok. Then one of the owners said they would charge me $ 30 for the 30 minutes because it was the tutors time. I suggested this was overboard with their policy when I only need 5-10 minutes. They replied that they have charged $100 for consultation.It sounded to me like a law firm more than a tutor center. The sensation I was left with was that the chance they get to milk money from me they will do it. They are also willing to burn a long term client for $30 dollars. Their payment policy is not open or inviting for a long term business relationship. They give you $10 discount if you pay 5 classes in advance ( $65 x hr). If not you pay $75 the hour and in advance as well. In today's market, flexibility and keeping up with market trends is key to making business fresh and alive. So if you as a parents are seeking for a quick alternative for your child to get through exams and finals, go for this tutoring center, but it is a quick fix. If you are seeking for a long term tutoring with client accommodation go somewhere else even if other tutoring places are more expensive. For long term and regular tutoring as an option it is best to have flexibility in payment processing.They don't have Venmo, PayPal, etc. they write your credit card number on a paper and keep it on file.We are already struggling, juggling life to help our children be their best, to complicate with tutoring hassles when there are lots of tutoring options.

I've spent the last four weeks in his class, and it was phenomenal. Of course he's incredibly knowledgeable, but what sets him apart is his ability to make complex material approachable and keep the class engaged from start to finish. He's smart, entertaining, and clearly knows this business inside and out. What impressed me most, though, was the confidence he instills in his students. Starting something new can be intimidating, especially when you're preparing for an exam and entering a completely new field. Mondo has a way of teaching that makes you feel capable. He doesn't just teach the material, he helps you believe that you can actually do this. I left the course feeling informed, prepared, and excited about what's next. That's a rare combination. Anyone can teach facts. Very few people can teach knowledge while also building confidence. I feel incredibly fortunate to have taken this course and to have learned from Armando.

I found this school after trying many others in the area. New Generation is both play and academically focused, always clean, and has a GORGEOUS backyard play area (I always say it feels heavenly back there).

The Fall Festival every year is seriously so much fun - we're still planning to go as a family even after we've left! There are always holiday activities, celebrations, shows, adorable Graduations... everything is just so perfect. Most importantly, the teachers are INCREDIBLE.

The kiddos spend so much time at preschool, it has been very comforting to know it is such a wonderful environment, complete with care and attention from very involved teachers. Ms. Favi, our current teacher, truly looks at her students as if they were her own, and treats them as such.

The first daycare we tried was a nightmare, but literally after the first day of attending here, we could see the difference in our daughter's care. They have separate locations for infant and toddler care, which makes it less overwhelming for the babies starting out. It's extremely clean and cozy, like a second home. They cook home cooked meals and provide healthy snacks. And when the time came, they even helped us with potty training. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor space to play and rooms to sleep. They do lots of activities, like water-play in the summer. My daughter was always bringing home the cutest art projects. They even make holidays and birthdays feel very special. When our daughter outgrew infant care, she attended their second location, which functions more as a discovery preschool. There she did a lot of the same things, but they started incorporating early learning with more structure lessons. It was very important to us that they met our child where she was developmentally, rather than expect her to be independent and follow a rigorous schedule. Ms. Rubina, her daughters and their team are very hands on, kind and nurturing, so each child gets the individualize care they need while still being able to grow and socialize. They helped us raise our daughter into a very happy, independent, smart and polite young lady. She had zero issues transitioning to Preschool, which we know is largely a part of the great care she received at Rio. We truly could not thank them enough.

It is well rounded program and incorporated into everyday tasks/activities making learning fun, while also practical. Every week is focused on different topics and the themes/events are communicated in advanced.

Burbank Edu-Care Preschool & Kindergarten

We are so grateful that we found Burbank Edu-Care preschool. They are a truly amazing preschool…read morewith excellent academic instruction, dedicated and experienced teachers, and a wonderfully supportive, loving environment. The director, Marie, has worked in childcare and preschool/kindergarten education for decades. We toured different preschools and Burbank Edu-Care stood out to us for multiple reasons. It's a small, intimate environment and the premises are beautiful. They have a garden on the preschool/kindergarten grounds and grow fruits & vegetables which they use to prepare healthy, organic lunches for the children. Lunch and potty training are both included in their very reasonable tuition fees. At other schools, lunch was a separate fee and potty training was an additional fee, or you could not enroll your child if they were not potty trained to begin with. The school has an adorable "parking" area where kids can park their tricycles and push cars in front of the school (behind a secure, gated campus). The private, high-fenced gate in front of the school ensures that strangers cannot see the children from the street and that the children are not in danger of street-based traffic. My 3-year-old child loves Ms. Marie and has so much fun learning and playing with the other children. They have plenty of opportunities for art, dance, music, and sound academic fundamentals like phonics, colors, shapes, etc. My child is completely safe at this school. I am also profoundly touched that Marie has taken a very special interest in our older, autistic child and has been so understanding of our unique childcare schedule. You can tell that she truly loves the children. For Ms. Marie, this is not just a job for her or a paycheck-this is her calling and she is uniquely gifted in her ability to connect with and lovingly care for your child. The school is fully licensed, very safe, it's small, intimate, and the kids are cared for with loving attention. Other schools for small children can feel chaotic or like your kid is a number in a larger setting, but that's not the case here. There is so much comfort in knowing that your child has found his or her community and niche. You don't have to worry about all the horror stories of inexperienced caregivers around your small child. TBH-my MIL was hesitant when I told her we would enroll our little one in preschool. She warned me that some kids find it too traumatic, and maybe she's safer at home (given what she's seen on the news, etc.). We are highly protective of our children. We feel confident we made a great decision choosing Burbank Edu-Care. Given the level of care/attention given to these children (plus potty training and healthy lunches included) -the tuition is very reasonable/affordable. If you tour and call other preschools and kindergartens that are in Burbank-Burbank Edu-Care's rates are very reasonable/affordable and they don't have the hidden fees (for lunches, potty training, additional hours for certain shifts, etc.) that some other programs charge. I highly recommend Burbank Edu-Care and am so grateful we found this amazing school! I can't gatekeep such a wonderful program when so many parents are seeking to find a safe, loving, supportive, and excellent preschool/kindergarten that builds on their child's strengths, gives them a sense of safety, care, and accomplishment, and lets them play with joy and creativity.
