We are a donor to Children's Academy and can recommend giving to other donors. The inability of a child to communicate effectively and the angst of a parent who sees their child falter, are met with both hope and success for the families as Children's Academy employs experts in their professional field and caring educators.

Children's Academy is a one of a kind nurturing environment serving children who have language and speech issues with unique caring and dedication. The parents and teachers work together for the optimal success of the individual needs of each child. I see the good work that they do and how the teachers see their work as a personal mission , not just a job.

My son's experience at Children's Academy has been amazing. He is a smart kid with complex language based learning disabilities and ADHD. He was unable to recognize numbers and letters until he came to CA for third grade. He can now do a page of math homework independently. His confidence has increased greatly and he is making steady academic progress. The service-rich environment is individualized for each child's needs. There is strong communication among parents, teachers and specialists. CA has made it possible to envision a successful future for my son.

The Children's Academy has brought growth, hope, and great support to our family. Meeting a group of professionals who have proven to be experts at developing methods to help each individual child meet their academic as well as social needs has made each day passing a clearer path to what the future holds for our son. The Chidrens Academy has come to us as a blessing. The invitation extended to parents to always be a part of the schools growth and their open door policy creates a bond so strong that one never feels alone. Being a part of The Children's Academy is being a part of a community I like to call Family. We are forever thankful that we have found a group of dedicated individuals who are pushing our son to the height of great success. There isn't a day our son doesn't ask us to please send him back to school.

As a mom whose two kids have been in five different NYC private schools, four of which are special ed, I have seen more than my share of what is out there for children with serious learning disabilities. Children's Academy provides science-backed, tailored therapies and educational programming for special needs children that is second to none. The administrators, teachers and therapists bring expertise and a passion for our children's success every day. This school fills a niche that no other school in the city serves: children with speech and language disabilities who need highly individualized academics and social skills therapy integrated throughout their school day. My son is thriving -- his last two years at Children's Academy have nurtured his academic potential, pragmatic speech and his social-emotional development in ways we did not dream of when he started his education as a toddler with autism.

The school is run efficiently, without the staff bloat at some other schools but with a surplus of talented and dedicated educators. As a school that is only a little over five years old, it has quickly developed a strong reputation for excellence. I love being part of a parent community that is a tight-knit, extremely loyal group who actively support the school's financial well-being and mission. We cannot be happier with our experience at Children's Academy!

In a big giant city filled with a ton of special needs schools - I happily put my special needs boy on the school bus each morning knowing fully that when he returns in the afternoon he has had a full day that will lead him one step closer to a reality that is inclusive of language, social engagement, education and mostly joy.

The Children's Academy has elevated my son's trajectory with a multidisciplinary approach that is inclusive of all of the therapies he requires - constant exposure to language and social opportunities. The director, teachers and therapists of this school are incredibly committed and so engaged in the outcome of each and every child. I feel lucky for my son.
