Hi Sylvan,

I wanted to say a couple of words to you. When we first walked into Sylvan, my daughter, Mckayla, and I knew it was the right decision. Of course, we both knew it was going to be a long road for Mckayla because of the lack of foundation she had from 2nd grade. 

As time went on, we both noticed that she was progressing a little at a time. It was slow for her because she still didn't understand why things didn't come easily.  But, when she would come home and used what Sylvan had taught her, it was amazing. I knew in my heart that she was slowly but surely going to “get it.”

More time had passed and I no longer needed to help her with her homework because she was doing it on her own. I couldn't believe it! Her homework would go by faster. McKayla would tell me, "Sylvan is helping and I can do it on my own now."

Every month, we would meet with Sylvan and see how much her test scores increased or how Sylvan benefited her in school. It was so comforting to see how teachers at Sylvan cared and welcomed her everytime she would walk in there.

Thanks for the way you have set up Sylvan.  I can honestly say that my child was not left behind. She grew from this experience, learned new strategies for work, and has more confidence in herself.  When she puts her mind to it, she can reach for the stars and no one will stop her.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for everything!

Also, I wanted to let you know I received great news today.  Mckayla called me during lunch and told me she passed her TASK test with an 83. We both cried and she knew her hard work had paid off. 

Be reassured that we will continue with math and reading over the summer. Fourth grade is right around the corner. :)

Thanks for all of your help, understanding, and being there for Mckayla.

Sincerely,

Lindsay, a happy Sylvan parent
