When my husband & I went for our first meditation session we were warmly received by Anne and introduced to a few of the horses after which we watched the sun at this charming ranch. I love coming here and can't wait to spend more with these healing animals.

Today was my daughter's last day before starting Kindergarten and I wanted to take her to real farm…read morewhere she can see some chickens and maybe pick some vegetables. We arrived at Bryerly Farms and it was nothing like we expected (not a farm in the traditional sense) BUT it more than made up for it in hospitality and the majestic horses we got to meet - most of which were wild rescue horses. Anne was so warm, very patient with my daughter and her one thousand questions about farm life and she introduced us to all the beautiful horses and ponies by name! On our way home, my daughter kept saying their names and how she wants to take riding lessons with one of the ponies. We're looking forward to going back soon , as we've been invited for an Autumn party and to pick prickly pears :)

I can't even begin to express how amazing this center is! All three of our children have attended…read moreWACC since starting elementary school, and our youngest two participated in their Junior K program (known as Little Acres). Miss Julie and the Little Acres teachers are wonderful - they are kind, patient, and passionate about education and child development. The program is very well developed, and keeps the children engaged and interested in exploring and learning. Our kids have thrived under their care and direction, and were more than prepared to take on Kindergarten! Additionally, the after school care program was a wonderful bonus to allow for extended care. All the after school care teachers are engaging, fun, creative and clearly dedicated to childhood learning and development. Overall it's an extremely well-run program, and we could not be happier to have WACC as a part of our kid's lives. Our kids are always so happy at the center, it's often the highlight of their day!

I remember one or two people had luckily filled their water bottles or I think it would have been a lot different.

Kids Fit Zone has been a nightmare to deal with when I had to cancel early. They have in their…read morecontract exorbitant fees listed for ending the contract early, and understood that and agreed to pay since we had a lay off in our family and needed to get out of the contract. But then they very shadily tried multiple times to get more money out of us. They tried to overcharge, and then we got that fixed. Then they tried to tell me that they would continue charging me tuition if I didn't pay some fees by an arbitrary date that they made up, which was a date prior to the due date listed in the invoice. They have shady business practices, they are not community oriented, and they don't belong in Brentwood. I would never recommend them to anyone I know, and I would never send my kids there again. They have effectively cut ties with me. On top of that, my 2 kids were ecstatic that they didn't have to attend anymore. They kept asking me if they had to go back, and I was finally able to say they didn't ever have to go again.

She enjoys going (especially when she would run into friends who were attending the same time slot as her) and earning cards to purchase snacks and prizes. She has been going for about two years and we are happy with how she is doing in math so we signed up her younger sister (who has been going for about a year). Both our girls seem very confident in their math and we've referred many friends (who ended up signing up) to the Center. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, especially the Owner/Center Director, Revati. She is approachable, understanding and warm. You can tell that she wants to make math fun and approachable for the children. She also keeps parents informed on their child's progress by talking to you at pick up/drop off or letting you know that she's available to meet anytime if you need to speak with her regarding your child's progress. She also makes sure kids cross safely while walking in the crosswalk, to cross the street. I will continue to recommend Mathnasium to those looking for math assistance/practice for their child(ren).
