I usually don't like writing negative reviews, but after our experience, I feel it's important to…read moreshare what happened. A group of friends and I try to do something together about once a month, and we had originally scheduled a Valentine's Day Paint & Twist. Unfortunately, life happened, and we had to cancel. We were given a credit and were told it needed to be used by August 11. We rescheduled for August 1, but unfortunately, one of my friends had chemotherapy and wasn't feeling well, while I ended up in the emergency room with chest pain. We contacted the business that day, explained the circumstances, apologized, and completely understood if the credit could no longer be honored. The young lady we spoke with was extremely kind, understanding, and empathetic. She contacted the owner on our behalf and told us that the credit would be honored for all six people. Because we were told the six-person credit would be honored, we decided to invite three additional friends so that we could use the full credit. We felt it should be a girls night and leave the husbands at home. When we arrived, one other friend ended up coming along as well, making a total of seven people. We completely understood that this person was not included in the original credit, and we appreciated that they were able to accommodate the additional person, especially since reservations are required in advance. I also want to acknowledge Jake, who was absolutely phenomenal. He was professional, courteous, and genuinely tried to help us resolve the situation. He had only been scheduled for three people, so we explained that we had previously spoken with an employee who had contacted the owner and told us the six-person credit would be honored. Jake contacted the owner. Unfortunately, this is where our experience became very disappointing. The owner told us she was only honoring the credit for three people. We explained that there had apparently been a miscommunication, but that we had specifically spoken with an employee who had communicated with her and told us the six-person credit would be honored. What bothered me most was not the misunderstanding itself. I completely understand that this is a small business and that miscommunications can happen. What I found completely unnecessary was the way the owner spoke to my friend Donna. Donna calmly explained what had happened and reminded her that she had previously explained the circumstances surrounding her chemotherapy and my emergency room visit. Instead of simply acknowledging that there had been a miscommunication and working with us to resolve it, the owner became rude and confrontational and even told Donna that she didn't think she would want her coming back to the establishment. That was extremely disappointing. We were not demanding anything unreasonable. We were simply relying on what one of the employees had communicated to us after speaking with the owner. If there had been a misunderstanding, we would have understood. What we did not expect was for the conversation to become so hostile. I do want to give Jake credit because he was wonderful throughout the situation. We also appreciated that they accommodated the additional friend who came with us, even though that person was not part of our original reservation. Unfortunately, the owner's manner of handling the situation overshadowed what could have simply been an understandable misunderstanding. As a small business, customer service and the way you communicate with customers matter. We left disappointed--not because of the credit, but because of how my friend was treated. A difficult situation can be handled professionally and respectfully, even when there has been a misunderstanding. That was what we expected, and unfortunately, that was not our experience.

I have taken about four classes here, with two different teachers. My artistic ability is about…read moreaverage. I love looking at mosaics. Therefore, I took two mosaics arts courses. The instructor provided a detailed handout how you do everything, and she was very patient with the class. Later, on my own, I ordered a marble mosaics art kit from Italy, using the skills that I learned from the two classes. Later on, I took two embroidery classes from a different teacher. The two classes had beginner students, and students had some skills. The teacher was very, very understanding with my limited skills. I particularly love to do embroidery. I found a new hobby! If I had time, I would take a class from each of these instructors again.

It was $70 for two hours. We literally did nothing for the first hour. We waited for two women to arrive 20 minutes late. We watched a slideshow about the artist's previous life running a daycare. Then we went around the room and took turns introducing ourselves. We were given a wreath and some sort of twine. There was no demonstration about how to connect the flowers to the wreath. We were given photos of different kinds of arrangements, but those flowers were not there. It was clear other people had taken classes before, and some were quite advanced. I had no idea and had never used a glue gun, as this was supposed to be open to all levels. The teacher would just say things like "attach the flowers in groups" but I didn't know how I was supposed to attach them? I was so frustrated and humiliated. I was going to throw my wreath out but another student took it home to use the materials. The teacher also mentioned another pressed flower class, and a student mentioned that she'd be taking it and was excited. The teacher mentioned they'd be doing advanced techniques bc wildflowers were so boring. The student said she'd never done this before, but the teacher completely blew her off and started talking about how exciting it would be to deconstruct a rose. I contacted the Arts Alliance about my concerns, and they just said that other people liked this teacher and that she was new, but they'd pass on my concerns. I asked for a refund, as $70 is quite a lot of money for me. There was no reply. I think the Arts Alliance is a fantastic place to support artists, I'd just avoid their classes.

We can observe that their educators are caring and compassionate and that the rigors of the academics will prepare them for the many opportunities sure to present themselves in years to come.

It is so nice to know that what they are being taught is in line with our Christian values. PapaGeno

DVCS has been a blessing for our family. My children were hesitant to begin a new school this year…read morebut they quickly came to thoroughly enjoy their time at school. This year our house has been full of the songs they've learned, songs full of grammar, history, geography, Latin and beautiful songs of praise to God.

This is an education full of the good, true, and beautiful. You will wish you could go back to school with your kids.

My son went here for a little over two years. If my wife did not have to relocate because of a new…read morejob opportunity, we most likely would have kept him at this location until he was ready to begin kindergarten. The owner, Ms. Cindy, is very kind and reasonable. In addition, she is very knowledgeable in regards to early childhood education and has years of experience in the field. When he began attending this school, he was in the young toddlers classroom, before moving to older toddlers and then Get Set, which prepares three year olds for preschool. His most recent teacher, Ms. Kim, is a gem. She's been at the school for over 10 years and it is very apparent that she loves what she does. She's not one of those teachers who views it as a job to collect a paycheck. She obviously has a passion for working with toddlers, which is what you want when you're sending your toddler to a facility and you're relying on others to attend to them for 6-8 hours a day. When we were having issues with potty training, she gave us valuable tips that we practice successfully to this day. She also taught my son Spanish, among many other valuable things. If we could take her with us, we would. She is the epitome of what you want in a teacher at an early childhood learning center. While enrolled at the school, my son had an accident in which he broke his foot. I was irate as none of the teachers were able to explain how it happened. Ms. Cindy worked with us and we did not have to pay a dime for the medical expenses. There were a few other little mishaps that can be experienced at any childcare center. For example, we would send him with breakfast in bowls labeled with his name and during one week, not one bowl came home. This was frustrating because parents are required to label their child's belongings and you expect said belongings to be returned. The tuition is a bit costly and food is not provided. It's something to be mindful of if you're thinking about enrolling your child.

My husband and I decided to take a few dance lessons prior to our May 2023 wedding and realized we…read morewere sleeping on this gorgeous dance studio located conveniently in Wilmington's Independence Mall. After reaching out to discuss the available options, we were directed to consider a group class to learn the basics, followed by private lessons, both of which were a great experience. We initially took a four week group course of Hustle/FoxxyTrot, taught in their larger ballroom. We were initially feeling anxious and self-conscious, but quickly realized that many of the other couples were also beginners, though there were certainly more-skilled participants that were clearly "regulars" at the school. Most in the class signed up with a partner (at a slight discount!), though there were a few individuals who had to partner with each other or the instructor. Generally, we were divided by gender to be taught the initial steps, then came together with our partners to practice while the instructor rotated to offer individual suggestions. Overall, it was hard to learn a ton in four weeks, but we definitely learned a few basic steps that came in handy for our private lessons. After our group class, we signed up for five private lessons taught by Tania, who took the time at our initial class to get to know us and understand the layout of our wedding venue. While our intention initially was to learn a few steps and feel more comfortable on the dance floor, we wound up learning a full, 2-3 minute choreographed dance for our first dance. Though neither of us had much dance experience (and one of us barely understood the concept of a rhythm), Tania guided us with patience and ease, providing encouragement when we needed it and incorporating our feedback and requests to build a routine that we felt comfortable with. To our surprise, we were able to learn and execute our first dance nearly flawlessly, impressing all of our friends and family on our big day. As a thank you / wedding gift, the studio gave us a discount for a future group class --- we're very much looking forward to using it for another group class!

This is a review of the CSA farm share. While the idea of supporting the property is nice, we found…read morethe size of the share given out each week to be very small and lacked variety. They were very enthusiastic about offering unusual produce at the beginning of the season, but really did not come through with anything too unusual. The pick your own section was extremely limited and consisted of mostly flowers and a few herbs. When they were short, they would include a bunch of herbs for the share from the pick your own selection. And they had a huge fenced in garden area with irrigation with large sections unplanted the entire growing season since they were trying a new growing method which was based on keeping a large portion of the usable planting area weeds. And the few other perks like the cooking classes had such a limited availability, it was taken up by the same regulars every week, so was more like a private social group for long time members who had first choice of future classes. And everything else offered for sale from local farmers like cheese and honey was fairly expensive. It seems they could have used more volunteer farm workers helping in the fields or at least purchased bulk produce more often when they were short. And while the volunteers were friendly, some of the policies were a bit strict. Like if you didn't like one kind of produce, they didn't want to let you take twice as much of something else. So when I have an abundance of my own tomatoes to have to take shares of tomatoes every week for half the summer it made the small shares even less worth it. The produce overall was tasty and good quality, just small quantity. It was something nice to try for a season, but for the cost, I don't think we will be back this year.
