The class requires commitment and work outside of class, and I didn't manage to do all of the home practice perfectly, but I still came away from the series feeling like it was a transformative experience. I feel like I learned skills and gained new ways of seeing life events and stress that have the potential to change my life for the better--and all from just working to train my mind to stay in the moment. I can't say enough good things about it.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON TRAINING FROM THIS COMPANY! I purchased the pre-licensing…read morecourse, and the quality was a grave disappointment. Throughout the video lessons, Mr. Royse takes great care to talk bout himself but shares little of value in regard to real estate. For chapters 1-7, which cover general real estate practice, it was relatively easy to utilize Real Estate Prep Agent on YouTube and cross reference topics until I had a thorough understanding of the subjects covered. However, chapter 8 is the only chapter on Alaska Real Estate Law. The law represents a separate exam that only includes only 40 questions, thereby making a thorough understanding of the concepts therein paramount. After watching Mr. Royse's 20 hour and 40 hour class lectures over chapter 8, I learned little more than he likes to conduct training in Hawaii so that he can write off his trips while drinking. That's all fun and games, but it doesn't provide much in the way of understanding the Alaska Real Estate Commission's statutes and regulations. Since I had no way to cross reference the law covered in chapter 8 as I had with the previous chapter's contents, I relied heavily on the six practice tests provided in the curriculum to help me interpret and apply the law. After continuously feeling very confused and then failing my first law exam ($100 down the drain), I spent an entire eight hour Sunday trying to compare the chapter 8 tests to nail down my confusion. Well... I found NINE questions with incorrect and conflicting answers on the answer keys... and these are only the ones I found with my novice knowledge. It is no wonder I was so confused trying to first interpret the law one way and then shortly thereafter reteaching myself the same concept again with another "correct" but incorrect answer. When I brought this issue to Royse and Associates, they were extremely dismissive and acted like the defect was my issue and that I was the only person who has ever had a problem with their reputable company. Well, when I finally got them to go through the test questions I had identified, they verified that they were indeed INCORRECT... in fact, one of the questions didn't even have the correct answer listed on the printable test I was using to study. What a crock! That meant I was studying nine concepts that I now knew of with conflicting application. In a chapter that doesn't cover much, that is a big deal. Royse and Associates dismissed that though. Royse himself wrote a snooty response about how there are literally 2,400 questions that could have been on the law portion of that exam, and that nine typos in his practice tests are not a big deal. I disagree. Nine incorrect questions (again... that I know of) over one, small chapter represent nine concepts misapplied. He also didn't seem concerned about combing back through his material in its entirety to identify other incorrectly provided test answers. As a result, I trashed all of his material as none of it could be trusted as accurate, and I went online to read the law (the version he included in his manual was not even the most recent version) and study it alone. Surprisingly, I passed my exam the very first time utilizing this approach. So... not only was the training provided by Royse and Associates not very helpful in preparing me to take my pre-licensing exam, it was absolutely detrimental to passing the Alaska Law portion of that exam. Therefore, I would highly recommend looking for a training provider with a demonstrated commitment to excellence and one that stands by their "product." Unfortunately, Mr. Royse seems concerned only with preserving his own veneer of perceived professional acumen and very dismissive of his complete incompetence and inaccurate curriculum. I certainly won't be giving him or his team anymore of my hard earned money!

Hands down the best CPR class I've ever taken. Toby's knowledge went far beyond what you'd expect…read morefrom a standard CPR class. She taught infant, child, and adult CPR, AED use, and wound care with and without a tourniquet. When I asked questions, she shared real-life experiences that made everything truly click.

I love this daycare and the staff. My baby was at Imagination Station for over a year and we had a…read morelot of issues and there seemed to be quite a bit of staff turn around. My baby would get shuffled from room to room, teacher to teacher and her clothes, coat etc. would be elsewhere in the facility. It was like hide-and-go-seek every night when I picked her up.......first find the child and then the outerwear. When I come to pick my baby up here she is in the same place as I left her and her belongings are in her cubby in the same room, what a concept!!! :) Sunflower is great with my baby she has no rashes and doesn't seem to go through half the diapers and wipes Imagination did (with rashes). I have not noticed staff turn around here. She goes to the same room and has the same teachers every day. The class room size is smaller and she is learning quite a bit here already to include they are helping greatly with potty training. She doesn't cry or cling to me when I drop her off, and goes right to playing. She wants to be there, that in it's self speaks a thousand words!!! She has not been bitten or hurt by another child since shes been here nor has she been so "clumsy" that she has bruises from the knees down constantly and that seemed to be the weekly norm at IS. My one and only concern is the front door. I have had nightmares that my baby gets out and heads towards Boniface Pkw. She is 2 and does not know or understand the dangers of the street yet.....nor would one at her age heed them if she did....curiosity is a strange, exciting thing for children but it is a real fear for me just the same. There is a gate at her room doorway which most the kids know how to open and all it takes is a few seconds to go out then get to that outer door and push the handle and out she goes headed straight for Boniface and traffic going faster than 40MPH. A secondary security measure at that front door would definitely put my mind at ease. All in all I am not going to deduct a star for the door issue and my possible overactive imagination or fears as the daycare is an awesome place for her to be on a daily basis. I am so happy that she is happy there and that she is properly cared for. I would recommend this daycare to anyone.
