Go-Adventures did a great job of creating team building activities. Our group can be a bit a excited. The facilitators did a great job providing the group with order. When faced with difficult questions, the facilitators explained to group the importance of safety. These activities allowed clients who are normally shy, quiet, and reserved to speak up and lead the group in activities. The clients encourage the staff that may have been hesitate to complete certain activities. I highly recommend Go-Adventures. They are awesome.

From outside, you see a bunch of unpainted (and painted) ceramics in the windows. Once you step in, there are some tables scattered around to paint at straight ahead, and there's a chart on the wall to the left that shows how different colors look with 1 coating vs. 3 coatings. It's all very cool! So with Mother's Day coming up, I decided to get some crafts done for mine, and they should be ready just in time for the holiday! Senora Roxana was willing to answer any questions we had, and was willing to give recommendations where needed. All in all, it's a super fun place to be, and great for parties, for kids and adults alike! They're relatively new, so I hope they flourish! I need to return and get some stuff done for my house!

It wasn't about being competitive, but just for the sense of knowing I could do it...that is the success of Valley Mill. About positivity!

I was able to park directly in front of the entrance and walk right in. The setup was really nice--plenty of tables and a huge area for dancing. The DJ was spinning not only the hits but also deep cuts and some previously unreleased versions of his songs. Behind her, a projector played clips from Prince's past performances, which added a great visual vibe to the night. There was a small cash bar offering Prince-themed cocktails, plus beer and wine. The staff were fantastic and even popped in a few times to dance and celebrate with us. The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous--cool and comfortable despite all the dancing. I never imagined this would be such a great place to host or attend a party, but I'd definitely come to another event here.

While the majority of the day may be spent coding, it’s important to not spend the entire day in front of screens! Throughout the day, students will be able to partake in multiple activities away from computers, including: • Outdoor Lunchtime • Outside Activities • Inside Break Time & Games • Learning to play the ukulele • Learning a Foreign Language (Spanish)

I don't recommend this childcare service. It may be a last resort however they do not provide quality care.

My child has been physically dragged, cursed at, and made fun of by a Bar-t staff member. The staff member has also mistreated several other kids in Bar-t this year on a number of occasions. When parents complain, the owner says he has no plans to get rid of the staff member, and does little to give parents confidence that their kids will be treated well in the future. Some of the best staff who supervise the kids have left Bar-t because this new owner is a bully who underpays them. Go elsewhere for good after school care.

Shortly after we were warned by someone we met that it's not a good school, they were right. There are many families on grants and financial support (lower income),which we did not mind, though there is no system in place and the preschool lacks leadership and clear guidance from the director and corporate. Teachers don't seem to know when asked questions and do not make any decisions. Often, staff members were on their cell when I came to pickup. It is not Regio or Montessori teaching approach, and from what I've seen the teachers cut and glue the art projects, the children learn by repeating and being indoctrinated with information instead of exploring hands-on and being asked open-ended questions. We were not updated when there were issues that rose, and only found out after the fact that things were handled poorly and without any consent from the parents. This is our third child and I work in education, if you value your child's education and want them to thrive in a supportive, welcoming and communal environment, there are better options out there.
