Cedar Grove Elementary School

This school has been a blessing for my kids ! Their grades improved so much in just 2 months ! My first son graduated form SKR and my second son is happy to go to school here. The principal Mrs. Burgess is the best ! You will find her outside every morning bringing the kids in and in the afternoon making sure the kids go home safely. She even stays with the kids for after-school club. She goes on field trips with the grades and spends time with the students at lunch. This principal is involved in eveything! The teachers have been here a long time they know how to teach and they stay year after year . The teachers and paraeducators are experianced and care for the students well being . The teacher contacted me because she noticed my son couldn't see from far, he needed glasses . They always welcome parents to volunteer.

We have had such a positive experience at this school. From the very beginning, the staff has been incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming. You can truly feel that they care about the students and families.Our daughter has built so many meaningful friendships here. The school does a wonderful job fostering positive social interactions and creating an environment where kids feel included and supported. We’ve seen her confidence grow socially and academically. She has made great progress in her learning, and we appreciate the encouragement and attention she receives.The school itself is quaint and charming, which adds to its sense of community. It feels like a place where children are known, valued, and nurtured. We’re very grateful to be part of this school community.

Great school - very happy to be a part of this community.

I highly recommend and endorse The Optimal Learning Center-Sally Ride. Our 4 years old son attended the school. His and our experience with the school was absolutely amazing. The management and teachers were very kind, accommodating, and very qualified. Our son flourished as a result of attending this school. His social, communication, and behaviors greatly improved. We appreciated the updates, videos, and pictures throughout the day. Additionally, the teachers and the director communicated openly with us regarding our son and addressed our questions and concerns. My biggest regret is that I didn’t know about Optimal Learning Center earlier so I could enroll my son sooner. I think this place is the area’s best kept secret in terms of childcare/school. I only wish that more childcare centers followed the same model and culture as The Optimal Learning Center.
