This class steps above the rest by its application of skills that were reiterated over and over with hands on real life like examples during class until each student was proficient. Nurse Jenny cared so much that she poured herself into the class and her students. I learned a lot of necessary skills in the class, but most importantly gained the confidence within myself to act proficiently to and save lives if ever necessary.

(Ryan Reynolds voiceover)…read more The vibe is fabulous family photography in McKinney/Frisco/Plano! Jen warmly greeted us on this perfect Friday afternoon! She is so fun and quickly sensed the mischief in my voice! I mean I am Ryan Reynolds so that goes without saying...wait I'm not really Ryan. But that point is irrelevant. What's key is how Jen was able to motivate 4 multigenerational families to pose for the camera. Light was the fundamental ingredient. The sun was setting fast! I was amazed at how Jen was able to quickly frame her shots and incorporate the sun peeking through nature in her compositions, while she was balancing on logs and rugged terrain. She helped each individual w/ stance, posing, hair, etc. Of course, I demanded the most help as the diva who just incessantly clamored to be front and center. Her eye for color and posing feet and hands was not lost on me. Other than trekking through untamed grass in our Sunday finest on a Friday, the most fun part was perhaps dodging mountain bikes on a live trail. A few whizzed by. There was even one guy on a fancy electric bike. He whizzed by the fastest! I mean nothing says look at me exercising and improving my health like riding an electric bike through a serious trail. Am I right, ladies? Haha! The grandparents had a great time w/ all the grandkids! Jen made this family photography outing a lot, I mean a whole lot of fun! I learned that backlighting with the sun peeking through nature can turn out beautiful photographs. She even showed me a preview! And yes, dare I say she made me look more celeb than Tom Cruise! Definitely humbler than the real Ryan...and with deeper dimples. When we do this again, because my vanity will demand it, we are definitely going to call Jen! Woohoo!

I've been to a couple different painting studios and I've always had an enjoyable time and…read moreexperience. My first impression of the building and studio was that it was a bit outdated and the inside of the studio looked older and less clean compared to many of the other studios I've visited. My girlfriend and I arrived about ten minutes earlier in hopes to get settled in and find a picture to paint. I was a bit disappointed to find that the studio was closed when we arrived. The instructor arrived about 5 minutes late for the start of class so it felt rushed getting the paints and everything set up for class. The canvases that were given to us were thin so I won't be able to hang this up unless I get it framed. This class gives you the freedom to choose what you want to paint opposed to everyone working on the same painting and the instructor goes step-by-step to guide you through the painting. As I am not a very artistic person, I found it to be a bit daunting having to paint the entire painting myself without specific guidance and step-by-step instructions. The instructor was funny and kept us entertained throughout the class. My friend and I still had an enjoyable girls night out but I really wish the studio was cleaner and the canvases were thicker and of better quality.

The center is always clean and well organized. The staff are friendly, attentive and knowledgeable and works with your child at your child's level to help them gain proficiency in a fun and engaging manner. They offer prizes and incentives to keep the kids engaged and to motivate the kids to focus on making progress. During the summer they offer full-day camps and half-day camps. If you book two half-day camps your child could stay the entire day so you don't have to come back to pick them up in the middle of the day. Don't be surprised when it is time to pick up your child they aren't ready to leave. My son would stay all day if I allowed him to. Overall I am happy with the summer camp and my son will definitely be back next summer!

I would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking for a more structured and safe environment for their kiddos. Of course, when you have children, you tour or attend other schools or daycare centers, but The Prep is unmatched. I may be biased, but I don't feel right paying the amount of tuition (especially in today's economy tuition is high everywhere) if my child is just contained to one room and a playground. The Prep has a curriculum that I believe mimics McKinney ISD, along with a gym, a tech room, their assigned classroom, a splash pad, a playground, and more (They also constantly have parties and themed days/ random activities throughout the week). I know for a fact that my child is happy and comes home smiling every day. Thank you, Prep School of McKinney!

The "NFA guy" told me I was all set and everything was submitted. Only problem was I never got an email notification from the AFT say my paperwork was submitted. The "NFA guy" told me I was all good and it takes a few days with their system. He told me I should get approval in about 2 weeks. Fast forward about 6 weeks (45 days), still no email or update. So I can their 15th street store where I submitted the paper work. They dismissed me and told me to talk to "Grant" from another store (their plano gun range). I frequent the gun range and have always had good experiences. I get Grant on the phone who informed me that the 15th street store never submitted my paper work and I was waiting for nothing. Grant submitted my paperwork on the spot and I got an immediate ATF notification of the submitted paperwork (a very different experience than the 15th street store's "NFA guy's" statement). less than 6 days go by and i got my approval. I go in to pick up my Can and the "NFA guy" is there. he immediately blamed Grant for the who hang up and said sometimes it happens. Never offered an apology or took responsibility. For the record, this in not my first can (my 5th) and I have a decent idea of how this works. Based on my experience with the 15th street store. I will definitely not being going back to them for cans. Also this is not a knock on their range or Grant. They have always been great and have helped me. This is my bad/first experience ive had with the 15th street store and will not be doing business with them again regarding cans or anything that is not already on hand at the store. Additionally, I enjoy the range and got there often. I have been going to the range for years since they opened. It should be noted Grant is not the "NFA guy" I was directed to when at the 15th Street store. Grant was the savior in this story and helped me get my can out of misterguns jail.
