I recently completed my open water SSI certification with Dave at Aquatic Specialties and had an…read moreincredible experience. I was completing this course, including the open water portion, all in December; I was eager to get certified in a New England winter, and Dave matched that energy. From the moment you meet Dave, his enthusiasm for SCUBA is palpable. Throughout long class days, Dave is cracking jokes, telling anecdotes and getting you excited about the skill you're about to have, all while answering a barrage of questions. In the water, he is professional, vigilant, and in his element. He exudes an air of calm and control, allowing you to confidently perform skills that would otherwise be terrifying or disorienting- like removing your goggles or respirator in 45 degree water. Beyond that, the staff is equally as knowledgeable and the community they foster is incredibly warm and welcoming. Even on my open water dives where I thought it was just going to be myself and Dave, I ended up meeting more people who tagged along just because they wanted to dive. I'd be hard pressed to find a more inviting community that is excited to pass the knowledge along to others. What an awesome experience and an awesome group of people that I can happily say I'm a part of now. Thank you Dave! 5/5 stars

I wish I had taken more photos but by the third or fourth photo I was so grossed out I just wanted to get out of there. It truly looked like it had not been cleaned in months. The corners of the floor and the corners of the play structures were filled with crumbs, dust and hair. There was old drool on the big round black tire and hairballs all over the rugs. The icing on the cake was the woman working the front desk had a young child with her, who had a gross wet cough and was coughing all over the playroom and lobby.

I appreciate that they use the Brightwheel app consistently to keep us updated throughout the day, and you can tell by the activities they plan that they value developmentally appropriate learning and socialization. Milestones welcomed our Early Intervention provider into the classroom consistently and took her recommendations seriously, which was instrumental in meeting our son's goals. Our Early Intervention provider also expressed how impressed she was with Milestones flexibility and willingness to try her recommended interventions. I wholeheartedly recommend Milestones to any family looking for a safe and supportive program for their little one/s!

We are now paying customers and we will be for a long time Rick and Linda are wonderful people who really care for their business and their customers. Our little girl loves to go to karate with Mister Rick twice a week. He is absolutely incredible with children. He's incredible with everyone, but if you can get my little one as engaged as she is- BRAVO!!! Whatever age you are, Merrimack Karate Studio is so worth looking into Oh, very reasonable as well! Linda seems to run the business end of things more so, and she is fantastic with follow-up to see how our girl is feeling about karate... I couldn't recommend a karate/MMA/self-defense studio more. Try them out for a month. You won't be disappointed.

They teach classes for swimming and when I was there they had a swim team. Each group is categorized by their age. In the middle of the summer we would put on a show for the parents to come in and see. When I was in my teens we would have her own swing pool one time during summer, we have sleepover and hope run a candy stand that was near the golf course. We stairwells I have a waterslide and a baseball game between the teams and counselors. Not sure if that still happens When I was a CIt in a counselor I believe we had uniforms. I believe we would help with the activities that would happen during the week. as a counselor would get paid. Ihope they updated some of the things. The events on the weekends would usually be business groups. We have different groups at different locations. Do you have lifeguards around the pool, staff to help with the food and people at the front to great.

From the first day here she would say hi to everyone and barely care that we were leaving. She just waves and runs in to her room! The communication here is amazing. They use an app to send you updates through the day including pictures and what the kids did that day. They provide healthy snacks. There's always a few fun activities every month for the kids. The teachers are great. The outdoor space is amazing. They are one of the few care facilities that could give a SOLID start date- not just a "when there's a spot open." If I had to come up with any things to improve on- the inside of the building could use sprucing up- some areas are pretty worn- but still clean and taken care of. I'd also love for them to provide the option of school lunches. Take a tour, see how much the kids are enjoying it there.
