“Leer las palabras fue un poco dificil pero yo lo intente solita. A mi me gusta los numeros y las letras y me siento bien que las se.” (Reading the words was challenging for me, but I tried it by myself. I like numbers and letters and I feel good that I know them.)
– Valentina, PTL Student
“I was scared, discouraged, and mad at the world. I could not account for the differences between my perceived capabilities and the work I was actually producing. It was intensely frustrating. LPLC provided me with a remarkable gift: it gave me the tools to become the person I am today. The person I always knew I was.”
– Will, LPLC Alumnus & Board Member
“LPLC is a place where a love of learning is made possible—where top research is matched with best practices in a compassionate and humanistic way. The transformation in my children into confident, joyful, learners has been an unmatched miracle to witness!”
– Meredith, LPLC Parent
“Going to extra instruction wasn’t exactly easy, and I remember feeling exhausted after my intervention time, but I also remember feeling more successful because of the supports I got at Lee Pesky Learning Center, and that really helped me keep going. I am proud that I can achieve at high levels even though it takes a lot of extra work.”
– Julianne, LPLC Alumna & Staff Member
“The time that I spent at LPLC helped me overcome my early challenges learning to read and sound out words. I am now a model, actor, and designer living in New York City.”
