DC Star Driving School

Excellent driving instructors. Took my roads test and passed the first time!…read more Seriously, Mr. Ish and Mr. Teddy are very patient and definitely want you to pass. I had wanted to book extra hours behind the wheel before I scheduled my roads test, but Mr. Ish really pushed me to take it sooner because he felt I was ready. Very glad he did.

I just passed my DC driving test, and its all thanks to the wonderful instruction from this school!…read moreI would recommend them highly to anyone, especially folks like me who are learning as adults. Before my lessons with Mr. Ish, the only driving experience I had as a 36 year old was some parking lot practice, and a one hour lesson with a different school (which I didn't think was very helpful so I didn't continue). I took 5 lessons of 2 hours each (10 hours total) with him and found him to be an incredibly patient and supportive instructor. I had a lot of anxiety going into the whole process, and his calm presence always put me at ease and made me more confident. When I would make a mistake like making too wide of a turn into a streeet, he would point it out but also ask me why I did it that way. It felt like he really wanted to get to the root of the issue to help fix it. In the case of turning too wide, we realized that I was misjudging the distance of my car from the parked cars on the street. This thoughtful approach really helped diagnose and correct issues as they came up and it was so satisfying to visibly see myself improve. His approach to teaching parallel parking was super clear, and I was able to confidently parallel park during the test, and have now also done it in relatively tight spots on DC streets! He also recommended doing a last lesson right before the test in the Deanwood neighborhood (where the DMV test takes place). This was great advice, and Mr. Teddy accommodated me for a pre-test lesson on short notice. I used the school's car for the test, which was helpful since I was familiar with it. The day of the test there was a really long wait at the DMV and Mr. Teddy waited with me patiently and was also really supportive. All the communication and reminders from the school about lesson times, locations were timely and clear, Mr. Ish was always on time for picking me up, and it was just a seamless experience end to end.

I'm so grateful that I found Curious Mind childcare on Georgia Ave in Petworth. A parent at the…read moredaycare referred me there and it was a perfect fit for me and my baby. I looked at several places and decided on Curious Mind because it had the best of both worlds: the small scale and intimate setting of an at-home daycare where there is a lot of hands on care and affection for the children, as well as the clean and orderly facilities of a larger daycare center where you feel the kids are safe and watched over by well-qualified staff. I placed my child there at nearly 8 months and she began to thrive right away. By the third day, she put her arms out to be held by the owner "Nana". They have an easy app that shows me her meals, poops, naps, etc, plus photos of their activities, among other features. The owner is VERY good with the smallest babies. My infant was often sitting on her lap and taking a bottle when I popped by. The teachers are very affectionate. It says a lot that I have rarely seen a child cry unattended in the play rooms when I do drop off or pick up. The teachers are mostly Spanish speakers but between Nana and another teacher there is always someone who can communicate with you in English. Would highly recommend.

It is easy to recommend Curious Minds. Our 1 year old daughter joined the center when she was 6…read moremonths. We visited numerous daycare centers in the neighborhood, and felt most comfortable with this one (especially the small size and high staff-to-child ratio). The staff are loving and kind and devoted to her and the other children. They send home adorable crafts that the kids make (mostly hand and foot print oriented given my little one's age!) and upload photos of them playing and at the park. The let you know when your kid is eating, sleeping, etc., through the app (which is comforting and makes it easy to pick up parenting after pick-up). The staff primarily speak Spanish though there is always someone who speaks English, and I'm excited for my daughter to grow with a second language. The center generally follows DCPS for holidays and is closed during the week between Christmas and New Years, as outlined in the parent handbook.

Would HIGHLY recommend this tutoring company to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and professional…read moretutor or executive function coach to work with their child. We have used this service for the last two and half years and cannot tell you how much we have benefited from the support of the coaches that have worked with our son. His confidence has improved with his writing, learning how to organize his thoughts better when tackling history and English Language Arts assignments. He's doing more than just the bare minimum, including more descriptive language and details. He's proactively creating outlines while reading to set himself up for success when trying to remember details later for questions or discussions. He's gotten better at self-advocacy, reaching out to teachers via email, when he's unsure of how to tackle an assignment or something isn't working correctly vs. just ignoring the issue. All things he wouldn't dream of doing on his own two years ago. Added bonus is that it has taken some of the pressure off of us, his parents, and the stress it was causing us when "nagging" him about his homework and missing assignments. Just wish we would have started sooner!!

Educational Connections has been a "best all around" experience for me and my family. It is a joy…read moreand privilege to work amongst so many bright and caring educators. As a parent, I have seen firsthand what a game changer it is for a child to have 1:1 support that comes from someone other than Mom and Dad. My daughter has worked with Jan at EC. The relationship they have formed and skills my daughter has learned have been critical to my child's classroom confidence. Jan has been a gift and our gratitude is high!
