What parents have to say.

• Comfortable learning environment. Our assigned Teacher is patient, kind, and understands our child’s learning and attentional challenges.
• A very welcoming environment, patience, and understanding are also very helpful. My child has learned a lot and is happy with this program.
• It is such a pleasure to bring my 9-year-old daughter to this program, my daughter loves it. The staff is amazing, caring, and professional. My daughter (3rd grade) has improved with comprehension considerably as well as built up confidence and seldom esteem. We will continue for as long as we need the help. Highly recommend!
• The program exceeded my expectations. My daughter developed a newfound love of reading. Thank you for that.
• We had a great experience! Unfortunately, reading continues to be a struggle, but we appreciated the person, one-on-one, expert-guided intervention.
• The Literacy Center program was a very warm and inviting environment for my child. The teacher who worked with my child was very caring and kept her interested for the entire duration of each session. Each week my child looked forward to attending her classes and left there more condent than she arrived. At home, she applied the strategies she was learning. Each week her teacher worked with her on the skills she thought were necessary and I believe that my child benefited from this program. Amazing teachers, positive environment, and very focused on helping children.
