Teachers and support staff are top notch
"We recommend the Centre for Literacy to all parents whose children struggle with learning disabilities. The teachers and the support staff are all top notch!
We were referred by a psychologist post psych/educational assessment.
Our son’s teachers are incredibly patient and are very knowledgeable in dealing with children who have learning disabilities.
We feel blessed to have both of them assist with my son’s reading, writing, and math difficulties.
The Centre has been supportive and a fabulous resource."

Strengthening learning and attitudes towards learning
"I can't say enough good things about the Centre for Literacy; they are fantastic! My son has a couple of learning disorders. The tutoring he has received in Language Arts has been excellent. It is making such a difference in his comprehension and attitude towards learning.
The staff are extremely caring and dedicated to helping the students learn in a way that not only suits them, but is interesting and fun. Their teacher is such a wonderful, attentive instructor; the devotion she has for her students is outstanding!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Centre for Literacy to anyone who has concerns about their children's learning!"
