Ivee Lowry, the current Director of Holy Spirit Episcopal School's holistic approach to education…read morefocuses on the development of the whole child with an emphasis on imaginative play, hands-on activities, and experiential learning. Mrs. Lowry updated the day school's curriculum to include the development of each child's physical, emotional, intellectual, social, artistic, and spiritual capacities at age-appropriate intervals in a Christian setting and with an individualized approach adapted to each child's personality. When there is change some will prefer the old and familiar. Being a pioneer demands courage and perseverance. Mrs. Lowry has graciously brought and implemented the latest proven early childhood education philosophy and techniques in Gulf Shores. I support and applaud Mrs. Lowry's commitment to our community's children and parents and especially given the criticism she's processed during the transition. While she has gracefully accepted and heard parents that are not enrolled in her vision and some who actively opposed her. Mrs. Lowry has persevered. While critics may have touched her, she seems to have listened, taken what she likes and left the rest. She remains clear on her vision and thrives on the support of many. It's understandable that those who are angry would be most likely to leave reviews. All opinions are of value. I hope that by sharing what I believe is Mrs. Lowry's educational style it will help those who want a wholistic approach find their way to Holy Spirit Episcopal Day School.

My child currently attends Kid Plus. He has been there since he was an older 2 year old. I've been…read moreVERY happy with this childcare center. The playground is AMAZING. Mrs. Karen was wonderful and loving. I loved Mrs. Angelique and thought her approach to requiring slightly more out of the children was age appropriate. My son loved all his teachers, including Mrs. Vice and Mrs. Napoli. Not to mention, all interim teachers he's had coming and going that step in to cover the evening shifts and unexpected teacher absences. I always recommend them. I have never seen any inappropriate behavior from any teacher. I cannot speak for others, only my experience. (My son has never said anything that made me concerned for any situation.) They have always had great communication with me as a parent as well. I also had two young female cousins that both had excellent experiences at this daycare. Get on that waiting list early. This daycare is worth the wait in my opinion.

We found Baywatch on a whim and it couldn't have been more perfect. Sharon was our sitter, a former pre-school teacher. She wasn't phased at all with our big crew. They did crafts, had treats, tech time, and all kids had so much fun. Aged 5YO to 1YO, she was great. Will definitely use Baywatch and Sharon again!!

My kids' exact words were "she was the best babysitter we've ever had!"

This place is just trash all together. Not to mention how tiny the place is.

I've had a genuinely positive and rewarding experience with Columbia Southern University, and I'm…read morehappy to give CSU a well-deserved five-star review. From the very beginning back in 2021, the enrollment and advising teams were supportive, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. They took the time to clearly explain program requirements, transfer credits, and timelines, which made the process feel manageable and stress-free. 2021 was the year I started my Bachelor's program while stationed overseas, and I completed it in December 2024. That said, I am due to complete my accredited Master's program by Spring 2026. CSU's online learning format is one of its strongest features. The flexibility allows working professionals, veterans, and adult learners to balance school with careers, family, and other responsibilities. Course materials are well-organized, easy to navigate, and thoughtfully structured to encourage real-world application rather than just memorization. I especially appreciate how the assignments connect theory to practical scenarios that I can directly apply to my professional goals. The instructors are knowledgeable, approachable, and timely with feedback. Many bring real industry experience into the classroom, which adds depth and relevance to the coursework. I've also found the academic resources, such as tutoring, library access, and writing support, to be extremely helpful and accessible. Although CSU is an online university, its home base in Orange Beach, Alabama, reflects a strong sense of professionalism and pride in student success. Overall, Columbia Southern University offers quality education, flexibility, and outstanding student support. I recommend CSU to anyone looking to advance their education while maintaining a busy lifestyle, both abroad and at home, without sacrificing their current employment.
