Parent Reviews

"The kiddo absolutely loved it! The first thing he said to me when we got out to the car was: "When can I go back??" Thank you, Scholars Collective!"

"My kid enjoyed the science experiment, drawing on the computer very much. Great supervision, kids seem very happy there."

"Secure building, lots of activities, friendly adults."

"My son enjoys going to Camp Reboot. Great staff! He enjoys the gaming and art. We appreciate that the camp goes until age 14. When we don’t feel like preparing lunch they have an affordable yummy option!"

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Where do I park? There are several options for parking here on 3rd street. You can pull into loading or temporary parking if you are quickly dropping off your child. There are also metered spots along both sides of the street that allow a 15-minute grace period at the kiosk. You can also use Parking Lot C near Harvey Milk Park, which has 2 hours free. 
2. Is Scholars Collective a daycare?  No, we are not a daycare. We are an educational center that offers one-on-one tutoring and small group educational enrichment activities. 
3. Does Scholars Collective serve toddlers? No, we do not serve toddlers. Our program is designed specifically for school age children. Everything we do is to reinforce academic standards learned in school. 
4. What makes Scholars Collective different? We offer affordable convenient services that provide hands-on engaging educational activities. Unlike other tutoring centers, we do not use boxed programs. All our activities are designed by local teachers to inspire fun and curiosity. 
5. Will Scholars Collective test my child?  While we do perform informal assessments of learning during enrichment activities, we do not have a testing program. All children learn at different paces and in different ways. At Scholars Collective we cater to your child's strengths to measure growth and build confidence. However, if your child is receiving tutoring from us, our staff will work directly with their teachers to ensure we align our instruction with the curriculum and assessments being used at school.
6. What if my child is differently abled or has an IEP? No problem! We do our best to serve all children of all needs at Scholars Collective. If our management feel that we are not equipped to serve your child's needs, we will provide advice for other options in the Long Beach area. 
7. What if my child does not like the classes or activities? This is not school, it is enrichment, so our staff does not force kids to participate. We offer semi-structured classes and activities and if they are not interested, they can engage with independent activities. Scholars always have a choice.
8. Will my child be allowed to play video games? We are proponents of children learning how to engage with hobbies in positive ways and this includes gaming, which is a huge part of youth culture. Our staff monitor gaming experiences to prevent unsafe interactions and promote age appropriate games. We model team work, friendship building strategies, and good sportsmanship through gaming.
