School Reviews
| 5 I cannot say enough about Hill Center's effectiveness for remediating my child's learning difference, dyslexia. The faculty is incredibly professional, personable, warm and caring. A community is fostered here even though it's a half-day program and children don't attend like a full day school. The children become friends across ages and grade levels on the playground. They add special touches like Halloween celebrations to give it a school feel. Everywhere we'd go in the building, all teachers knew my child and would say "hello." It is truly a place where children are known and loved. Some teachers are warmer and more nurturing than others but overall there is a nurturing approach to the class work. My child entered Hill at a 1st grade reading level and in one school year achieved a beginning fourth grade reading level. Talk about closing the gap! This child's confidence has soared. - Posted by Parent - Mom of a child with Dyslexia |
