I'm a parent whom my 4 year old son attends Kirkwood, while picking up my son at school, I…read morewitnessed something deeply upsetting. A teacher named Manuel grabbed a little girl by the arm, yelled at her, and snatched something from her hand, then threw it across the floor. All the children nearby looked scared and shaken. This behavior is completely unacceptable, especially from someone entrusted with the care of young children. No child should ever be treated like that in a school environment. I am sharing this because I believe in protecting all children and ensuring schools are a safe and nurturing place to learn. I hope the administration takes this seriously and investigates. Parents: Please pay attention. Teachers should be role models, not bullies.

My husband and I decided that my daughter was not yet ready to attend an all-day Pre-K. She had a…read morespeech delay and had trouble asking for help and letting her needs be known. She was also not yet independently using the restroom among various other concerns. In our search, we visited various schools, some that we were highly impressed with. We were hesitant to use a home-based school, but decided to visit anyway. Upon meeting Mrs. Valerie, we were immediately put at-ease. She listened to our concerns and never made us feel as though our daughter was behind; we could tell right away that she understood kids and that she truly cared and was knowledgeable about their development. She was open and honest in her communication and was just a very warm and welcoming person in general. During her year there, our daughter learned so much! I don't mean an academic focus (which is still there) but in other ways; she's now more social, independent, and her communication skills have improved. In fact, during her IEP with the district, we were told she no longer qualified for services and they asked us what school she had attended. They were surprised with how much progress she had made in one year. I can confidently say that the majority of her progress is due to Mrs. Valerie. We will be forever grateful that we got be a part of Schoolhouse Downey.

My daughter has been attending Schoolhouse Downey for about 5 months now, and it has been such a…read moreblessing to have her learn and grow under Mrs. Valerie's care. Mrs. Valerie has tons of experience with preschool kiddos, they are always doing fun crafts and outdoor/play activities. And on top of that, she has a very organized and impressive curriculum, so this is not "just a daycare". My daughter loves that she gets to dance, do yoga, eat yummy pasta and play with her friends every week! And as a parent, of course the number one concern is safety, and I feel truly blessed that I know she is in good hands and that she is 100% safe with Mrs. Valerie. I am also thankful for Mrs. Valerie's support and special attention as my daughter transitioned out of pull ups and began learning English (we speak a different language at home). We recently went on a two week vacation (that was filled with beach and pool days, everyday!) and she asked several times when she goes back to Mrs. Valerie, so she definitely is doing everything right at Schoolhouse! Mrs. Valerie is a very supportive and caring teacher, and I highly recommend her.

CEC has been vital for my kids while schooling at home. Laura G tutors my 3 kids in math and also…read moreone of them in SAT prep. Laura is totally amazing! The kids love how she explains math so clearly. They just get it when she teaches them. And they really get it because she's asking them questions during the session to check their understanding. Confidence and grades have soared! My 7 year old tutors with Laura because he wants to increase his math skills. I especially love that she doesn't limit what he can learn at his age. He's learned his multiplication and division tables, rounding to the 10,000's, perimeter, area and today he learned fractions. It's only been 8 weeks. We signed up for another 8 weeks. Really cool to see his mind light up! Thank you CEC and thank you Laura!!!

I looked up many tutoring centers in the area and decided on CEC. I signed her up for AST twice a week. Within two weeks she was starting to get it and even got an 85% on her math test - which before she averaged 70%. She had so much more confidence with math and the staff, especially Mr. Brian worked around her busy schedule. I can't thank CEC enough for all their help and patience with us and look forward to many more tutoring sessions for my daughter!
