In order for you to get into the book signing you had to make a purchase at the bookstore. The line for the bookstore was extremely long. I waited in line for almost 2 hours. It was hot that day and the AC units in the building weren't doing enough. This building is big but I felt as though they didn't utilize the space appropriately. I was able to get my books signed and that was enough for me. The team in charge of this festival needs to get organized and work better as a team.

Due to a last-minute change when our host-instructor became ill, Glen ended up taking on both roles himself, and he handled it incredibly well. He was professional, fun, engaging, and truly saved the evening for us. We couldn't have asked for more from him. There were a few hiccups around the last-minute change and some initial miscommunication, but Fleur ultimately worked with us to resolve everything fairly and provided an appropriate refund for the part of the experience that couldn't be delivered as originally booked. In the end, everything was resolved on a positive note. Most importantly, Glen made the night an absolute success. We had so much fun and would highly recommend him!

As a parent, I felt really good about dropping off my kids here as I knew they were taken care of very well. The place is very clean and the curriculum is engaging. I can tell how much my children enjoy it as they do a great job of sending daily updates and photos which really help us get a good grasp of what they do all day. Also, my kids always left with a big smile on their faces. This only happens when the people who operate this place truly care about the children. I can say my experience was about as good as it gets and we absolutely plan on bringing the kids back very soon. I noticed there were some legacy negative reviews that were tied to the previous ownership - but speaking from experience I can say unequivocally that this daycare is absolutely pristine and the right place to send my kids to. We've had some good and not so good experiences with other options and Genesis is without doubt on top of the list as I feel confident they take great care of the kids and keep parents regularly updated with their daily communication. Highly recommended.
