My son started Kumon about three weeks ago because he…read moreneeded a bit more help with this horrible common core math they're teaching in the public schools. In such a short period, I have seen a ton of improvement in his math skills. He is a kid who doesn't care for school much, but he is happy to go to the Kumon center. The center's operator/owner is a wonderful lady who was also a former Kumon parent. Also, the staff is complied of former Kumon students, which is awesome since most are younger and can really relate to the children. The center is clean and inviting to the children and they are taking extra precautions in order to keep our children safe. The price is also very affordable, much cheaper than hiring a private tutor. If your kid needs some assistance with math and/or language arts, Kumon has got you cover.

She's still doing simple addition problems in her elementary class, while already doing 3 grades higher at kumon. I love that this place is well organized. They have more than enough tutors. My daughter started out sitting in the front with a tutor, but gradually moved to the back where she can work on her own. Some other locations don't pay much attention to your child's improvements, and worry more about when their next payment will be due. I'm glad I found this place!

Our advice is to shop around as there are other options in the Severna Park area.

I live near this center and decided to check it out. I called and scheduled an appointment. Orientation and the assessment were free as advertised, and administered by Ms. Diane who runs this location. She let me know where my son stood academically and made recommendations. She also informed me that registration was free for the upcoming month and that I should wait. I thought that was nice of her because that saved me money. I decided we wld enroll my son in the Reading program. Well fast forward present day, almost a month in and I am very pleased with our choice. It is well worth the monthly fee. The tutors are all friendly and accommodating and patient with the students. Each tutor only works w/ 1-2 students at a time. There's an actual lesson plan they follow and they seem serious about it. They even have a reward system just like school. I love that they reinforce the lessons with homework because it helps my son retain the info and also gives me the opportunity to see what he's working on and test his knowledge. It really seems to be working! $160 per subject, 30 min sessions twice a week... I've called other tutoring services & Kumon was most affordable. I say go for it... It's worth the investment in your child's future.

My son attended the Young School at Honeygo Plaza for about a year of pre-k. He had a good…read moreexperience and left much better prepared for the classroom structure of kindergarten. This school takes a more curriculum/teaching-oriented approach rather than simple "day care". They follow a pedagogical philosophy similar to Montessori, emphasizing freedom and harnessing each child's own specific interests and motivations. The biggest strength of YS is the outstanding teaching staff, all of whom care deeply about the well-being and growth of the children. The different teachers within the "cottage" of four adjoining classrooms developed individual connections with my son and the other children, knowing well their various interests and quirks. The pre-k cottage director, Ms. Jess oversees the classrooms with expertise and a deep sense of empathy. She effectively fields informal chats with parents about questions and concerns that pop up on the fly. Between the wonderful teachers and cottage director, I always felt that my child was in very safe and nurturing hands. The classroom atmosphere is warm and inviting. There is lots of natural light and many learning stations with carefully thought-out objects left for the children to "discover". Kids get zero screen time at the Young School. Instead of punishing children, behavior is managed through redirection and talking.  Healthy snacks are offered, and the staff teaches and practices good hygiene. The main area that could be improved upon is communication from the director. On several occasions, I received mass emails chastising (unnamed) other parents for taking screenshots of the live video feed, requesting child-specific changes to naptime logistics, incorrectly using cubby space, and calling in to the classroom during non-naptime hours. ("Any parent disrupting the day too frequently will lose camera access and a parent meeting will be requested.") I would prefer these types of issues be resolved by one-on-one conversations with the relevant parents, rather than public shaming. The unprofessional tone of these emails was underscored by a lack of basic proofreading. My child's classroom had high turnover, with three different teachers in a six-month period. Shockingly, when one left and was replaced by a brand new employee, parents were not given any notice whatsoever. I showed up one morning to drop off my son in his classroom and encountered a total stranger who claimed to be in charge. Luckily, another teacher was in the cottage area and vouched for the new teacher's legitimacy. Lack of preemptive communication on this type of matter is unacceptable. Another instance of poor communication occurred when initially attempting to enroll my child. The paperwork was confusing and I had trouble getting questions answered, as other reviews have noted. Overall, I recommend the Young School as a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for child; parents may have to deal with some unneccesary hassles.

I've received no phone call from the owners to discuss the experience. parents beware!

His speech has improved dramatically, and he's made a lot of sweet little friends. The family community at Grace is also very strong as well. There are opportunities to volunteer and meet other parents, and make new friends. We truly feel embraced by the school, and couldn't be happier with our choice.

When we moved, I switched preschools for one year only to switch back again the following year and return to Grace. If Grace is an option for your child, I would highly recommend it. It is nurturing, fun, loving and it prepares the children so well for primary school. You CAN'T go wrong at Grace!!
