Lucas Literacy Lab has been an absolute blessing for our family! The small classroom setting allows for individualized attention, and the almost daily communication keeps us informed and involved in our child’s progress. We love receiving random pictures of our child engaged in learning—it truly brightens our day!

One of the most exciting aspects is how motivated our child is to earn a positive daily rating and share it with us. The teacher genuinely values our input, working with us to support both learning and behavior, which has made a tremendous difference. Comparing reports from our child’s previous public school, it feels like we’re talking about a completely different child. The improvement has been remarkable!

We are forever grateful for this school and Ms. Amanda’s dedication. Investing in these crucial years of education is far more valuable to us than accepting the rigid, one-size-fits-all approach of public schools. Highly recommend!
