A Message from Our Co-Founder Regarding the Wildfires
The wildfires affecting Southern California have brought devastating loss and disruption to our communities. I am deeply saddened to share the heartbreaking news that our Pacific Palisades Learning Center has been lost in the fire. However, it is with immense gratitude that I can tell you all of our employees and students are safe.
Our Pasadena Learning Center is closed until it is safe to return as we continue to prioritize the safety of everyone involved.
We are committed to supporting our employees during this challenging time and our hearts are with everyone affected by these tragedies. Please join me in keeping our employees, students, and their families in our positive thoughts and prayers.
