We moved our pre-school aged daughter to DIS from a Montessori school because of the opportunity to…read morelearn another language at such a young age. The difference in the schools is dramatic. DIS is caring and also provides structure and curriculum that has our daughter coming home speaking french, and singing french songs. The teachers communicate well by sending daily updates, weekly pictures, and by providing the curriculum so we can reinforce what she has learned at home. Everyone at DIS cares about our daughter; from her teachers and the teachers assistants that are with her everyday, to the receptionist that greets her daily - "Bonjour!" We love DIS, the community feel, and are so grateful for the opportunities it will provide our daughter.

But they work with the kids and my kiddo learns so much with each new class. My child is genuinely excited to see the little friends that have been made!

The very first morning we dropped off our oldest son at The Octopus Garden, I was sad getting into…read moremy car, that mommy feeling of longing for her child. Another dad, getting into his car, recognized my feelings and reassured me with a smile and "Don't worry. Pretty soon it will feel like family!" He was right. The Octopus Garden has become all three of my children's home-away-from-home. They feel safe. They are loved. They learn. They have good friends. It's a preschool where manners and kindness are taught along with the ABCs and 123s. It is a very special place, a place that is governed by Love. Now when I drop my kids off at The Octopus Garden, they run in happy! They are greeted with smiles and hugs and everyone is eager to begin the day. Each week they are introduced to new concepts, books, activities and are fed healthy meals. The dedicated teachers at The Octopus Garden have become our true allies in parenting. They are our friends and they do indeed feel like our family. My husband and I are comforted with the knowledge that our kids are being provided with the same care and kindness that we provide in our home. We feel so blessed to have The Octopus Garden as our preschool!

Not great. The school's website and staff appeared to misrepresent what the school's strengths and…read moreweaknesses were. The website says they have won awards for being good with kids who have special needs - they were not good with my son, who was just diagnosed with ADHD. The parent manual says they work with parents if kids have trouble in the classroom. They did not work with us, although the director did tell me that they worked with another child for a year until he went to kindergarten and ended up bringing a knife to kindergarten. It seemed like they favor kids who have been there for a long time or whose parents they know, I'm not sure. They did not appear willing to work with our son's therapist to develop a plan for our son, either. The director told us, "sticker charts don't work." I also didn't feel like they did much "teaching." My son did not do one worksheet during his time here. I did not see any educational work coming home. The children in his class seemed to bully a lot for such young kids. They called our son a cry baby and made fun of him for calling his mom "mama." The teacher is very experienced, but she appeared to be worn out or overwhelmed. The facilities are inviting but seem crowded and less than pristine. On the positive side, I will say that my son had fun with a lot of the activities they did, such as the summer luau. The director is pretty good at communicating with parents, even though I felt that she was either biased or dishonest in her communications with me. Bottom line? If your child is a fairly easy kid, and you aren't too focused on your child getting the best educational environment you can find, this school might work for you. If your kid is hyper or challenging like mine, this might not be your first choice.

I went back to work from maternity leave on 6/15. After lots of searching and A LOT of continued…read moreanxiety I enrolled my baby girl at Canyon Creek Daycare. I am so unbelievably impressed. As you can imagine it is not the most ideal (is it ever?) to send a newborn to daycare. They have exceeded my expectations in every way. Every single employee is so pleasant to talk to. Their communication has been seamless. I am not able to physically meet her teachers, but we have had zoom calls and they have an amazing app that they send constant pictures and videos throughout the day. They do such a fantastic job at trying to figure out this whole new norm we are living in. Most importantly you can tell they loveeeeeee the kiddos. Genuinely love and are happy. I toured quite a few daycares and you can tell when employees are not happy. I could ramble on about all the great things, but you get the point. If you're looking for childcare in the area I HIGHLY suggest to check them out!

Dallas College Richland Campus has a choir director, Dr. Andrew Evangelista, that is a huge…read moredetriment to the program and its students. Dr. Evangelista is putting students into excess credit hours of music that will not transfer. Excessive hours lead to students being charged out of state tuition at 4 year colleges and universities in Texas. Financial aid does not cover those thousands of dollars in increased tuition. Excessive hours can exhaust students' financial aid leaving them to pay for their college out of pocket. Dr. Evangelista dumped all of the Richland Choir alumnae that came back to sing. What was once the most successful two year college choir in Texas that toured nationally now after 3 years under Evangelista has only 7 singers. He has totally destroyed this once well respected program. Older students are not welcome and college age students are sure to be advised into disaster.

This place is absolutely awful. Of all the dance studios I've ever experienced, this is the worst…read more Not only did my daughter never want to dance again after this place, but her ballet technique tanked at this place. Some of the teachers are amazing, but the owner is downright evil. There's so much I dont have enough room to tell it all, but it ends with the studio stealing money out of my account. Make sure you call your bank before you decide to leave, or Susan will steal from you. I've seen other reviews on this, so I'm not the only one. They give incentives to people for their 5 star reviews. Dont be fooled. Passive-aggressive, manipulation, lies, aggressiveness, and microagressions, they've got it all. It's not a healthy studio to send your kids to. If you value morals and integrity, this place is NOT for you. Take your money where your kids can thrive.

I have also brought my 9 year old in for Hip Hop with Camille, among other opportunities that have opened up for us both. Absolutely a game changer when it comes to classes in variety and just the ambiance of dance and all skill levels. Some classes did seem pricey along with registration fee. However, from witnessing my daughters growth and even how I'm brushing up again on my dance skills, I think it's worth it.

And when my now 7 year old son showed signs of needing help, I knew exactly who to turn to. Yes...it is expensive...and no...there is no one else like them...but the proof is in the pudding. We saw results. And when my kiddo who HATES writing, enjoys his time AND shows improvement, its completely worth every. Single. Penny.

Its interesting that this is the only OT place in the Dallas area that specializes in handwriting…read moreand yet we've gone for 3 semesters and seen little improvement, nor interest in practicing handwriting. My assessment is....its fun to go, but there is no incentive to practice handwriting on the 6 days my son isn't in class. They make art projects using fingers in shaving cream and use tweezers to grasp small items. Additionally they have an OT gym, which breaks up the time in handwriting class to work on larger arm muscle strength. Its expensive but what else are you going to do if you have a child with poor handwriting? They have a monopoly on this common childhood problem but thier efforts are not very effective. The old adage, "Practice, Practice, Practice" is the only way to improve handwriting, and they don't teach that rant to the kids like they should.

During a long, hard divorce, where we tried to keep our kids invested in their church, my kid's youth mentor told my child "I'm so sorry you have a mother like yours." She was heartbroken. And refuses to return. None of us are prefect, but I'm private and only one side was heard. Grace wasn't given, love needed to be earned. This church was the final straw and after decades of me searching for God, this Church taught our family that Faith comes from us and not a building full of judges. My kid saw it before I ever did. And that's heartbreaking. Since we left...we coparent and our kids are thriving without having to meet so many moral expectations. So maybe the heights saved us in the end.
