I'm a fan. I've been…read moretaking classes at Cascade for as long as I can remember. Usually it's ACLS and PALS, but most recently, I took TNCC. General tips for those of you heading this way: They have a coffee machine, but nothing fancy. Powdered creamer and sugar, but it gets the job done. Please be aware that the Tully's that was formerly sharing the same parking lot has now closed. The nearest espresso is at Byen Bakery a few blocks down. Byen is also your best bet for lunch. There's a Thai place that's in the same plaza as Cascade, and while it's passable, it's not out of this world. There's is also a chain pizza place within walking distance (Alfy's, perhaps?) and they do pizza by the slice and have salads. I did not see a microwave at the facility, so if packing a lunch, keep that in mind. Parking in the lot is generally sufficient if you arrive early or on time. As far as instructors go, I have had nothing but great experiences with every single one. You will get medics and RNs primarily, and they are into supporting the students and not the high pressure stuff of yesterday. The environment is casual and they make sure to give sufficient breaks. If you can take TNCC with Linell and Pam, DO IT. They are super fun and great teachers. It was by far the best TNCC class I've had. They are accommodating and calm, and while they make it clear that you must study to pass, they also make sure to hit the high points and make sure everyone can follow along. Highly recommend. The one last thing I'd like to mention is to dress in layers. Some rooms are cold, some are hot, and it's best to wear something light and then have a sweater or jacket on standby. They have filtered water, but you'll want to bring your own bottle. All in all, I think you'll have a great experience with Cascade.

Each time I've taken the classes here, they've been informative and straight forward. The instructors are always welcoming and knowledgeable. They welcome questions and do well explaining situations and procedure alongside the training videos. The classes are easy to sign up for and have plenty of availability. The classes are about 4 or so hours long, with a few breaks in between which is nice. It's always nice to see folks taking these classes simply because they're into being outdoors where much of this comes in handy. I do leave each of these classes feeling more confident about helping someone potentially in need.

We visited this facility and I was put off by how cluttered and dirty it appeared. The daycare is…read moreessentially the owner's home. I lean on the side of attachment parenting, and the owner was very direct in telling me what I was doing wrong according to her standards, purporting my 9 month old child was crying because she was always hungry. This is simply not the case - she's actually above average in weight and 100% healthy according to our pediatrician. She is a voracious and happy eater, though she has never been a good bottle feeder, which I told the owner from the onset. The owner proceeded to show me how she would feed her. She placed the plastic bottle into boiling water on the stove, which seemed dangerous. We use a bottle warmer at home and warm food and milk in a glass bottle, then transfer it to the plastic bottle once it has cooled. She then swaddled our daughter in a fleece blanket (at 9 months!), and force fed her a bottle. My daughter was screaming and purple in the face. It was quite traumatic for me. I told her we never feed her that way. She is fed calmly in a high chair or seated on the floor, her arms free so that she can either push food away or take part in feeding herself. Moreover, she was practically choking on the milk being fed by the owner because she was crying so hard, and the owner just kept on feeding her. My partner had to restrain me from lunging at the owner. I finally told her that was enough after a minute or two of this. It appears just the owner and her husband are watching the children - no other caretakers from what I understood, and there are infants, toddlers and preschoolers in the daycare. While I understand a daycare has to stick to some sort of protocol for feeding and napping, I was quite frustrated and disappointed in her lack of willingness to get to know my child and meet her needs with gentleness. I cannot imagine leaving my child in her care. She seems quite obstinate in her methodology for child care, and either unwilling or unable to adapt her care to fit different children.

I came for an appointment for my first aid skills test for 2 pm. No zoom link or confirmation of my appointment. I contacted them and no response. I waited until 2:30 in which then the receptionist called them for me at 2:30 and was able to connect with someone who said that my appointment was actually for 3 pm and they will contact me very soon. 10 mins go by and no communication from them, I call them and they told me that my appointment is actually for 3 pm and they never got any of my messages and they will get someone on the zoom right away. Weird because the actual 3 pm appointment came in. Also weird that if they never got my emails, how did they get 3 pm from the original 10am? I did not want to interfere with the original 3 pm's appointment so I left and I was able to get a refund but the way this company communicates with others is incredibly disrespectful of other people's times.
