Falcon Learning

I sent my first child to kindergarten August 2015 and needed after school care. I was very skeptical at first not because I doubted Falcon but because I had to trust a stranger to pick up and drop off my son. My husband and I looked around couple of places, then we chose Falcon. We met the owner and she seemed very caring and experienced. My 5 year old son has been loving it ever since. He made friends and he looks forward to the next day. Falcon is packed with programs. They don’t let kids stay bored or idled. The director is very accommodating and communicates well. My 3 year old daughter will attend kindergarten in 2017. We are planning on sending her to Falcon. BTW (my son is in the picture!) :)

I lucked out when I found Falcon Learning. I needed an after-​school program which would be able to pick up my son from Zanker Elementary with a style that fit my needs and his. Falcon Learning turned out to be a perfect fit, and they had openings!
The center is simple and neat, with muted green walls. There’s a reading area, tables for snack or homework, and a game area. When I arrive, the kids are always playing cooperatively, are busy with a game or are coloring quietly. Falcon is also open later than other after school programs, which helps me greatly since I commute to work on the peninsula and can sometimes arrive as late as 6:30 on my commute back home.
My son almost always has his weekly homework completed on the first day that it is brought home. He is always happy and content about his time at Falcon Learning. He started doing one of the extra math classes which were offered, but decided he’d rather play during the after-​school time instead of doing the extra math. I told this to the Sonia, the assistant director, and there was zero hassle to remove him from that program.
I’ve often emailed schedule changes at the last minute if my son doesn’t need to be picked up from school, and Sonia responds immediately that she has received my message and is always super polite.
Only additional feedback I’d give is that it’d be nice to pay online, but setting up my bank’s bill pay to send automatic checks has also worked fine.
Thanks, Falcon Learning, for taking such good care of my son for the last 6 months!

It’s a clean place and the teacher/​student ratio works out so that each child is attended to. Kids have fun with the various activities there. The business owners are available and attentive to parents needs and concerns.

I was looking for an after school program for my 6 year old son and I’m so thankful that I’ve found Falcon Learning!
This school has a lot of amenities for the children: Ping Pong, Art projects, reading nook,
The teachers are well qualified and screened. They are very attentive to my son’s needs. They provide a very flexible transportation service that conforms to my son’s daily activities.

I cannot say enough about Falcon Learning — we live in Newark, and my children attended the summer program in 2014 when I was working in Milpitas. Both my boys loved attending this program. My youngest son was so well prepared for the 1^st grade after attending this summer program, that he was bored when school started! My older son was able to learn how to play chess, and explore his creative side — not to mention develop an accelerated reading level. I only wish we lived closer, so that they could attend the after school program during the year as well. 5+ stars for Falcon Learning!

Falcon center is a spacious, well designed facility filled with a multitude of activities/​options to aid free play and learning through play.
I love that this is a facility unlike many that we saw for our playful, energetic first grader. We were looking for a place that allows him to expend his energy, meet his desire to play with peers and have the opportunity for learning through hands-​on art/​creative projects.
My review will not be complete if I fail to mention the fun, energetic new director Ms. Christine Rosell !! She has an enthusiastic and friendly disposition. She is very patient and connects well with kids.

My niece had been attending the after school program since September 2014. Their facility is very clean, atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly. She is also taking an English class which is helping her a lot with reading and writing. She comes home and all of her homework are finished, giving us more quality time at home. She always comes home with small projects, which she enjoys very much. She gets along with all the kids and it’s nice to know that she has a place where there are kids she can call friends. It’s a plus that they are open all day when school is closed and I don’t have to worry making other arrangements. We are really happy that we chose Falcon Learning. Thanks.

Our boys (5) and (7) loved Falcon Learning summer camp. They had a wonderful time using both their intellectual as well as their creative side. The atmosphere is very comfortable and the kids all seem really excited to be there. We’ll probably try their after school program next year if we find it helpful. Whether their teachers are teaching math, English, science, cooking or dance I’m sure they will make learning fun for the kids.

Brand new environment. Clean and shine! My son attends after-​school there for a month now. Everyday he can’t wait to go to after-​school. He learns better with the teacher in Falcon than with me. Falcon also provides art activities which my son loves a lot.

My almost 5 year old boy is attending Spring Break Camp at Falcon Learning this week. He is having a good time learning about holiday traditions and gardening. I am happy there is a large space where he can run around and use his energy. The facility is clean and the staff cheerful. He can’t wait to go back tomorrow!

Our 5 year old son went to Falcon Learning for his spring camp this year. We were extremely pleased with the education and learning activities it offers. My son was always excited to share his day with me after coming back from the camp. He learned about various holidays across the world and their significance along with important facts about gardening and plants. I would highly recommend this place to everyone with young kids.
