Wonderful wonderful place!

by gprentice21atl at Citysearch

Our son attended Suzuki from when he was a baby (9 months) to 4 years old. The Suzuki School is an amazing place with amazing people! Our son grew and flourished there thanks to the dedicated, hands-on teachers and staff. From the potty training days when we would get notes home on his progress to the days when our son would rave about the cool projects he was working on in Pre-K he was always happy. The teachers were always available to talk and very personable. The facility is top notch and the lobby with its colors and animals (fish, birds, little lizards) is like sensory overload for the kids. It's not the cheapest place in town, but it's worth the money when you child is happy, and actually wants to go to "school" every day!

SUZUKI NORTHSIDE A GREAT PLACE; WONDERFUL MODERN ATMOSPHERE; EMPHASIS ON LEARNING AND ARTS

Suzuki is an excellent school> The Northside campus is wonderful. No place is perfect, and it is certainly NOT the place the reviewer )who last gave it ONE Star) describes. I am a journalist, and i will say - he has a lot of factual innacuracies. First of all, i have to be at work daily at 730a. I am NEVER late unless i have a planned appointment. The days i bring my daughter in, i come in at 710a...a teacher is there by 715a as promised. I can not speak to the first reviewers experience, he or she is not very detailed...but the school follows standard school hours and days off. What will this person do when his/her child enters K-12??

At least Suzuki also has summer hours. The teachers are dedicated, i have seen no turnover in the months our daughter has attended. Teachers go the extra mile with a lot of love on many occassions.

The environment is beautiful, and the children seem very happy. My daughter has learned so much in terms of her letters, numbers, vocabulary, getting along with others, arts, music, ballet.

Fortunately we're blessed to afford this tuition. It's worth the extra money for the high quality. The directors are very dedicated. I'd like to see more outside activities for smaller groups Also would like to see a Christmas/Hannakuh/Ramadan type of event along the lines of what they do for Spooki Suzuki . My 2 yr old says "spooky " a bit little too much my personal taste, id like to see this downplayed a bit..and Thanksgiving event seems a little jam packed...but other then that, ive been very happy.

• Pros: atmopshere, education, activities, parking, location, location, location
• Cons: class size (it's fine but theres lot of pressure to invite every child to every party!)

I respectfully disagree with the last review written.

Our child has been with Suzuki Learning Center since opening day and we cannot be more happy with the staff and the attention and care that our child receives. The progress and growth that our son has shown since we enrolled him with Suzuki has been tops. I have to say that we are very satisfied and happy with choosing Suzuki. We spent considerable amount of time researching and scrutinizing their competition and could not find a more structured, safe and professional environment for our only child. I am not aware of any other parent who shares the views of the last commentator, and am actually surprised to find that this person chose to express his/her discontent through this medium. We should be more understanding of the fact that they cater to a number of other parents, each of which has distinct responsibilities, schedules and obligations. Not to mention, that Suzuki also has to abide by the terms of their lease. Clearly it is understandable if they cannot please 100% of parents. It is just not a realistic expectation. My words are just meant to give Suzuki a fair shot. They have been great with us. We love their staff and when we needed their support and had to pull our son out of school for personal reasons, they were very understanding. Even with the opportunity to choose another provider for our son, we chose to come back to Suzuki and we are so glad that we did.

• Pros: We just love our childs teachers. Facility and location are excellent.
• Cons: None.
