Also, the classes are well thought out and the Director of the program will take her time in sitting down with parents to discuss the best class option(s) for their child. I really can't rate icode high enough - I have been very impressed as we enter our second year taking their classes. Recently, we tried the summer camps offered at icode - my son never met a summer camp that he liked, except icode. He had such a great experience, by day 3 of camp he was asking if we could drop him off 10 minutes early at the center!!

This gym was opened by my personal trainer. I've been working with Jonah for over a year training…read moretwice a week, and I followed him to this new space. His gym is spacious with natural light and open space. It's conveniently located in Arlington Center. There is plenty of street parking on Massachusetts Avenue and side streets. I recommend Jonah to anyone who wants a gentle and professional personal training experience.

Let me preface this by saying that taking a left-turn out of the parking lot is a giant pain but…read moreit's not worth taking off stars for. It's on Route 20. People can be really lovely and will let you out and it's certainly easier in the summer months to do the school run. Enough said. Moving on... We moved our 18 month-old here after leaving Knowledge Beginnings in Maynard after they lost him one day on the playground. He then went to another daycare for a transition period but that was shutdown due to a (very expensive) typhoid outbreak. So my son enrolled in NGCC after being at a series of schools with compliance violations from losing kids to unvaccinated staff. As an obsessive researcher of all things, I'm pleased to note that NGCC's state compliance records are gorgeous, suitable for framing. We enrolled our LO in NGCC blindly after a recommendation from another parent who left KinderCare and enrolled their LO at NGCC with great results. We loved the data and information that NGCC shared with us about development and preparation for Kindergarten. (As a mildly obsessive PhD, I love all the data and learning opportunities!) It made us feel confident that we were making a good choice for LO and that he would thrive there. I can say that after about a month at NGCC, LO loves it. I love that it's like a proper school setting with a professional front desk, excellent security, it's set back from the road, leadership is accessible, and staff seem content and loyalty is strong. The cost of care is very reasonable and I feel like I should be paying more for the services we receive as part of tuition! The facilities are wonderful, too. I feel great arriving at 4.55 or 5.00 on the dot to find a parking lot and lobby full of other working parents which was utterly absent from the KinderCare and the transitional school. There's an unspoken camaraderie among working parents which is reassuring. They give him lunch every day which has helped us expand his palate and nutritional options and also given us back some time in the evening as a family. Overall, he's sleeping better, no more mysterious bumps and bruises, if he gets a bump, someone calls me immediately, and he's just overall a happier little guy. They're so hands-on and very in-tune with child development. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend NGCC to anyone and it's not surprising there's a high demand for placement there!

If you are a person of color do not bother! It was either me or my daughter that this school did…read morenot like, I took my daughter because i wanted her to have some social interactions with kids her age seeing that every person in our house was above 16. Before we started i was asked what i hoped to gain told them my child was potty training i would love for it if they continued; then i noticed on her reports she had more wet diapers than potty tries. I inquired about this they said i was layering too much! reduce the layers and now she only wore sweatpants still the same, they said the pull up i provided were not the right ones and i need to use the ones that they used. My husband got the ones that they wanted but still the wet diapers were more. when i inquired how frequent she was put on the potty i get a call telling me that my daughter is acting different crying all day and they have kids to attend too since she is not the only one. My baby was 26 months and could not be comforted when she was in distress as if they are providing me free services or they do not know the number of kids in the class. In the morning when i went to drop her off the teacher at the door completely ignored us another teacher had to come to great us. if possible i would give them 0 stars. When i went to pick my child's belonging they didn't even bother to inquiry how she was doing. Just passing by the school gives her truama so much so that she know our entire route to home she will call out the ice cream place her doctor's office mere shopping but pretend when we get to that school

During onboarding, Vince and I had several 1:1 coaching sessions to ensure my movements were appropriate and orient myself to the gym. I am new to CrossFit- so this was super helpful. Each individual CrossFit gym succeeds based on the level of commitment by the owner - this gym will be extremely successful because Vince is invested deeply in the members. I get a text from him when I miss one/two days of class, which is great because it holds me accountable - but not great when I decide to be lazy and sleep in...

Since then, he has changed my perspective on fitness and what personal training can be. More importantly, I've gained the confidence to go to the gym on my own. Thanks to Ryan's physical therapy background, he is able to tailor workouts that target the exact muscle groups we want to focus on and adjust them for any injuries or aches I may come in with that day. The sessions are challenging but never overboard and Ryan is always sensitive to my overall health/well-being on a particular day. It is obvious that Ryan genuinely cares about his clients and helping them achieve their health goals. He is also easy to talk to which makes those last reps go by a bit faster. Overall, it's been such a positive experience to workout at Sustained Fitness and I'm only sharing one of my best kept secrets because I won't be able to workout there any longer. Check them out!

What I loved most about how Erin taught was that she would introduce modifications that made things progressively harder, rather than easier. I've been to a lot of classes where "going on your knees" or making a modification to make things less difficult was presented as the second choice... but Erin says these first and then encourages people who are looking for more challenge to "raise your knees". Its a small change to teaching, but it made a huge difference in how confident and empowered I felt in her class.
