Susan & Peter taught me and fellow employees to be Confluct Resolution trainers when I served as…read moreCFO for McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center in Springfield, Oregon in the first half of the 1990s. We trainers then provided the training to all new employees during New Employee Orientation sessions. It was all successful and was a gratifying experience for we trainers. I've used the skills the Glasers shared onto us over the past 30 years and have thought back with fondness about that experience during my almost 50 year career as a successful healthcare CFO. I owe Peter & Susan a tremendous debt of gratitude.

I've had the privilege and benefit of being affiliated with Drs. Susan and Peter Glaser for about 8…read moreyears now. Initially, I was their student, then a teaching assistant, and most recently, a client. For me, it's an honor to consider them as both friends and mentors. Their "Mastery of Leadership Communication" seminar is the core of their business. This 3-day program, based on their nearly 40 years of research and consulting, is the most immediately applicable, enjoyable, and well-presented training program I've ever encountered. Despite years of my own experience, and repeatedly helping lead this program, I still refine my skills every time I watch them present. The program focuses on simple, powerful models for conflict resolution, team facilitation, and persuasion. If you hold a leadership position, or ever want to, I guarantee that this program will make you more effective. The Glasers also provide consulting for organizations experiencing major social rifts and undergoing radical change. With global experience working with all sectors--including government, non-profit, corporate, and education--they can tailor their work to your needs. Through my professional association, I have partnered with them for the past 3 years to present the seminar, and every year the feedback has been unanimously outstanding and rated an extraordinary value. TRIVIA: The Glasers were the first couple to job-share at the University of Oregon and recently retired as full professors after 35 years of teaching.

Having complicated family dynamics, children with significant individual issues and needs, several that are academically gifted and everything in between, I can honestly, and without reservation or exaggeration, say the Big Little School has been a crucial and integral part of the 'village' it takes to raise healthy children.

Lee has a broad vision of services in the Lane County area, and works tirelessly to meet the needs of every child as well as educate and support their family. Over the years it never ceases to amaze me how EVERY staff member is a highly skilled, focused and committed professional that contributes wholeheartedly to create an ideal preschool environment for every child.

EPCP was a great choice for our family. I was looking for more than childcare for my child; I…read morewanted a place where I could pop in or stay all day, and be part of his first introduction to school. And I wanted a community we could feel connected to. EPCP is all that. Parents work in the classroom as parent-teachers, so you have to be aware that not everyone will parent-teach the way you would. That can be challenging. The reward is seeing your child bloom among others, first-hand. The school has been in place for more than 50 years and the teacher for the two-year-olds has been teaching for more than 25. The older class (three- and four-year-olds) has had some fluctuation over the past year; our beloved teacher moved away and proved difficult to replace, but after some trial and error, a fresh and enthusiastic teacher seems to be fitting the bill. Though our family is moving on this year, I believe the community will thrive in the years to come. Tuition is low. The community is incredibly supportive. The school partners with local UO-based EC Cares to provide evaluations and assistance to kids who need a little extra attention. No school is perfect (hence four stars, rather than five) but EPCP is pretty awesome. Experience will vary based on your participation level, and that of the other families. We're going to miss EPCP for sure!

I'll start by saying that we were originally skeptical of getting a doula, but our sister in law…read moretalked us into giving it a try. Best. Decision. We. Ever. Made. We met with Tiffany and she was even able to win over my skeptical husband with her knowledge and professionalism. The fact that she ran an evidence based birth class was an added benefit that helped influence our decision to choose Tiffany as our doula. The class was fantastic! Not only was it informative and go more in-depth then most, but she also taught us how to find sound sources for information regarding various topics, procedures, and other concerns, so that we could make the best decisions for us and our situation. In short, the class was extremely empowering, particularly for first time parents. Now, when it came to her as a doula, she was a life saver! We had just moved to the area and had not met many people yet. Getting to know Tiffany and talking with her about the pregnancy, hopes, and fears helped make us considerably more comfortable with everything. And then Covid-19 hit in earnest and the lock down went into place. Pregnancy and birth are already full of unknowns and anxiety as is, with that, it skyrocketed. Tiffany, however, kept on top of everything, even with hospital and doctor's policies changing on a daily basis. With each and every change she would reach out to us to find a way to work with and around it. She even went above and beyond trying to work directly with the hospitals themselves to insure her ability to be present during the birth.  In the end, she did get to be there for my birth. I ended up suddenly and unexpectedly giving birth at home (we had planned a hospital birth). Somehow she managed to arrive just as the paramedics did. I won't lie, I was terrified. Seeing her face in the middle of all that chaos did wonders for me, helping me relax and focus on what needed to be done. She jumped right in and worked with the paramedics as if they had all been a birth team for years. Everything ended up going even more smoothly then could be expected under the circumstances, and I'm convinced it was because of her presence. I am now firmly of the belief that if you are pregnant, you should have a doula, whether it's your first or fifth. Somehow she becomes that trusted friend, a surrogate mother, and experienced professional who's solidly in your corner. We are so thankful that Tiffany was in ours.

We have used this tutoring center for two years and they really helped our son not only in tutoring but went above and beyond and helped him register for classes.
