The hospital can be a scary place for anyone, especially children. Big machines and doctors in masks can seem like monsters. At St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital, we help kids and their parents get to know the monsters. Because once you understand them, the things that scare us aren’t so bad after all.

Our teachers don't just teach. They get to know your child, providing the positive reinforcement that leads to success. Our educators turn frustration into confidence, Bs into As, and strugglers into achievers. No two students are exactly alike - that's why "one-size-fits-all" teaching doesn't work. At Sylvan we make learning personal. We assess your child to understand his educational needs as well as attitudes towards learning. Then we develop a unique learning plan - just for your child. It's no wonder our students enjoy coming to Sylvan!
