Am planning to be able to spread the word and the love in the Hispanic community through my volunteering with this organization.

Ebenezer is an excellent instructor--clear, engaging, and very supportive of students at all levels. He creates a welcoming learning environment and explains concepts in a way that makes them easy to understand and apply. By the end of the course, I feel like I will have developed a strong foundational understanding of French, which has given me confidence to continue learning. The structure of the class, combined with Ebenezer's teaching style, made the experience both enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to begin their French language journey.

Instead, almost all the money goes to inflated salaries for the families that make up the "employees" who founded the fake non-profit. Boat Angel does not provide its records to the public so few know about this scam. There is a loophole in California law that allows this so-called non-profit to act as a yacht broker without providing any of the safeguards one gets buying from a real broker. http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/bbb-issues-advisory-about-boat-angel-charity/article_e4d6ddae-cba0-5b3d-96f3-791addcd4b17.html DON'T buy from them and don't donate your boat to them.

Wow, I can't believe no one has reviewed this place yet!…read more Children's Choice is awesome. My son is in the upper 3-year-old class there and it's by far the best daycare/preschool I've been to in the area. And trust me, I went to a LOT as I researched schools. This facility is right on the Banner Baywood campus, and it was originally available only to Banner employees. It has recently opened to everyone, which I assume is because there weren't enough Banner-only kids in this economic climate. I don't work for Banner, so I'm glad we were able to get in. Here are the things I like about this place: Ratio: Their ratios are lower than the state-mandated ones that most child care centers around here adhere to. In my son's room, for example, the ratio is 10:1 instead of the state-mandated 13:1. Food: They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner to the kids, which is great because I HATE making lunches for my son. He's only there for lunch, but the food has been really good. They serve the ever-present chicken nuggets, of course, but they also have things like spaghetti, BBQ sandwiches, scalloped potatoes, green beans, fruit, milk. They'll do fun things during snack time like serve popsicles on hot days, and I don't mind at all. Cleanliness. I don't know, maybe it's because this place is affiliated with a hospital, but it is really clean. Like, cleaner than any place I've seen. They provide kids with bedsheets for naptime, and they wash the sheets every night. Crazy. Activities. Children's Choice almost has a Montessori-like feel in the number and variety of activities they give kids to do independently. There's very much a choose-your-own-adventure feel to the classroom, where the teacher sets up various stations and the kids pick what they want to do. My son was looking at fake bugs through a microscope one day. He fingerpaints. He plays educational games on the computer. He plays in the kitchen. He buries seashells in sand. They sit down for structured time, too, like story time, but I like the variety of free play materials. Playground. The playground is HUGE. And once a week in the summer they have "water day" where kids can go play in the sprinklers. Security. There's serious security here. Video cameras around all the entrances. Secret access codes for everyone. Computerized check-in and out. I feel pretty safe about leaving my son there. Staff: The ladies that work there actually seem happy. That's a big improvement from the last school my son was briefly at before I found this place. The director is really nice and helpful. So yeah, I like it. I'm really glad we found this place, because there aren't many reviews online about it.

I felt that my child was in the best learning environment to get a head start for Kindergarten. Unfortunately, the quality has gone down hill. Their record keeping for the billing has been a complete mess, and I have been overcharged several times. Callie does not provide assistance in a timely manner, and it has now been three months without a refund. This would have never been the case in past years. Billing issues were resolved quickly and accurately. The quality of the teaching staff has also diminished. Previously, they employed teachers with degrees in the field and strong teaching backgrounds. Nowadays, I'm lucky to receive a daily reports on my child's day. I have brought this issue to the Director's attention 4 times, and it still continues to be an issue. I am very sad to realize that I will be very glad when my youngest starts Kindergarten, and we are done using this childcare center. They still have many good qualities and are perhaps still better than some of the other large centers, but they are not nearly as good a program as they used to be.
