New "If I could give zero stars I would" This place is a…read moremoney grab, it's not worth it and you're better off going to the community college, even if it means that it will take a bit longer plus the cost is way lower than this place. I went in for the LVN program for the first two semesters and it was terrible. The first semester they try to cram in biology, anatomy and physiology all one, within 8 weeks. I passed that semester with high grade but it was truly done on my own. The instructors just read off of a PowerPoint presentation for 3 hours, there really isn't much teaching. Also they like to test their students with NCLEX style questions which seems like it would be a nice way to get experience for the real thing, except they don't show you how to take these type of testing or what to expect. I believe at one point the instructor said they expect us to fail these tests the first few times, as if that's some sort of way to teach? I was hoping that after that first semester was over and once we got into the actual LVN courses it would get better but it didn't. Same thing, it's a lot of teaching yourself as you go, and using a lot of outside resources to learn. For the amount of money they charge, you would think that you would receive a better education, but it seems like the instructors are only there to babysit you while you teach yourself. I will say there was one instructor that actually taught some classes, Allan, he was the only one that seemed like he was there to help students. I unfortunately had a family emergency that caused me to miss a day and since I was not able to make the hours up I decided to drop out of the program, which in hindsight was a blessing in disguise. Now I'm going to Shasta Community College to finish my degree and I'm actually leaning more and getting the tools I need to make a great nurse once I'm out in the real world. Another thing to take into account is their attendance policy, you cannot miss any days, making up the hours is impossible if you have a job. They don't care what the reason is, the only thing they'll "excuse" is a family death, which you will have to provide a death certificate to prove it. The place I work at has lots of graduates from this place and they never have anything positive to say about it, which should have been my warning. Overall I would definitely recommend not going here, the lure of having part time evenings classes available sounds great especially for those that have to work full time but I promise you it's not worth it.

Students are targeted, they're not helped, and teachers would rather shame then try and reach out. A few of the teachers are amazing and don't deserve to put up with what they do.

He just turned 3 , knows how to spell his name , his alphabet and can count to twenty . We were told by our pediatrician to maybe look into outside help with a speech therapist , because he wasn't talking much at all ( which is common, EVERY little has their own pace ) . After our three year checkup , the Pediatrician was so Impressed with his linguistics and communication WENDY IS TRULY AMAZING !! Our son has learned so much with here! Everyday he comes home with a craft project, and a letter, he's learned for the day with a new word corresponding to the letter. He's excited to tell me his new word , and I'm amazed by how in tune everyone who works there is with his quirks . We are having some Potty training complications, and she is sooo nurturing (so is everyone working there ) they all make a huge point to keep me informed on his pee & poo accomplishments. . She makes sure they get prizes for going potty & celebrates every holiday and birthday. I am a first time momma and my son is everything to me , knowing he is loved , learning and growing his vocabulary, so he can express himself means everything to me in a safe nurturing environment. That piece of mind while I'm away from him is priceless. I was militant in Choosing a daycare after a previous experience and Wendy's has surpassed anything I could have hoped for . Wendy offers suggestions on behavior and learning always to communicate to me what we can work on together for helping him grow and it's always coming from a loving place . I want to raise a good human! Like I said I'm a first time momma and any help or ideas she can offer I greatly appreciate. I WISH I COULD GIVE A HUNDRED STARS . If you are nervous about finding the perfect place for your little and a crazed momma who is obsessed with finding the perfect place while you are away THIS IS IT !! I WE ARE SO LUCKY WE FOUND WENDY'S DAYCARE! ! She sends me pictures daily of his smile and videos of their activities. It literally makes my entire day and I can't wait to pick him up !

Wendy's Daycare is by far the most amazing daycare in the world and I can't say enough good things…read moreabout this place... Given the unfortunate reviews that have come about, it is long past time that I share my story. If you are here checking reviews, you already know qualified childcare in our town difficult to come by. Knowing that I began my search early in my pregnancy 4 years ago. Several friends and families recommended Wendy's Daycare, and so I made the call to find out more information. To my disappointment, there was a waiting list 6 months out. (Weird that someone who is reportedly so terrible can still have a wait list a mile long all these years later) So I put our name on the list, and we waited. Sadly, no space was available by the time I went back to work so we found alternate childcare. Long story short, it was a total nightmare. A year later I was at the end of my rope, ready to quit my job and stay home, when I got the call that would change my life! Wendy had a space and wanted to schedule an interview. Being new to this game, I first thought it odd that a daycare would want to interview me. Isn't she working for me? Aren't I interviewing her? However, in a world where parents have varying personalities and levels of experience and as a rational adult whose concern for their children is paramount it makes total sense! The fact that Wendy has the emotional capacity to recognize the importance of these relationships speaks to her incredible character. Spaces at Wendy's are not easy to come by and that is because so much care and thought goes into selecting children and families, and once you're there you don't give up your spot willingly. Wendy puts every ounce of herself into the time she and her staff spends with children and she works hard to make sure anyone coming into her home is a good fit. It is a shame when people you once trusted turn on you and spread vindictive lies. Contrary to my original thought, Wendy may work for me in the sense that I pay for her service, but in truth, she works for my children. Taking care every day to research the latest curriculum, staying up on nutrition and health and safety to ensure that my children are receiving a well-rounded experience. She knows my children and their personalities as much or more than I do and is always there to listen and offer valuable advice when needed. To cut to the chase, I have since had another child and would have a dozen more if I it meant I could go to Wendy's every day. I now work for the Early Education Department of the Shasta County Office of Education and I can tell you in all confidence, as someone who has seen the worst, Wendy's Daycare is the best there is. I have never once felt anxious or uncomfortable about the care my children receive here. Wendy's staff is loving and compassionate. My children are happy and excited to spend time here. My oldest daughter went into Kindergarten more than prepared and Wendy's has the best reputation of any early learning center that feeds into our school. Wendy helped with our potty training issues, and my daughter was reading and writing by 3 years old, which is impressive because the information is presented in a way that my kids do not even realize they are learning, all they know is they are having fun and feeling loved. Yes, there are rules, and expectations. Children and parents alike know what is expected and Wendy provides consistency and security to all of us. Yes, Wendy runs a tight ship, but given the fact that she has nearly 20 years of experience, she knows that both children and adults need boundaries, and she knows what works. Believe what you will, but I rest easy every day knowing that my kids are well cared for, and Wendy will be part of our family long after my children age out.
