My massage with Luther was the single most effective massage I've ever had. I bought the Groupon,…read moreforgot about it, and had to quickly schedule both massages before the expiration (2 massages in 3 days?! What IS a girl to do?) The massage area is on the third floor walk up. The space is dark and soothing. It looks like it's still being renovated, but that didn't really detract for me. My first was with Genet. It was efficient and relaxing. Sound travels easily in this space and some of the satisfied noises from other areas were a bit distracting. The massage was good! Professional, quiet, and thorough. My second massage was two days later with Luther. This time, I'm pretty sure we were the only ones there. It was dead quiet except for the music. Luther met me right away, checked me in and got to work. He spent the entire 60 minutes (plus a few I think) ensuring every knot was worked out of every muscle in my body. It was sometimes painful. It was sometimes stretchy. It was entirely relief when i was done. I feel 2" taller and limber. If I were reviewing on my initial trip only, this would be a solid three stars. Luther can't get enough stars, so the whole place gets five.

I had a Brazilian wax done by Neza. Literally one of the most pain free and quick waxes I've…read moregotten. After multiple referrals, I decided to try this place out. The outside does look sketchy, but inside was clean and calm. I waited all of two minutes before being escorted into a private room. Neza went in with a hard wax because my hair had grown thicker and then followed up with a (literally) painless sugaring to ensure all hairs were gone. She was also patient in explaining the importance of exfoliating to prevent ingrowns (especially as a black woman with kinky hair). Oh, and she has a $30 special for college students. I will definitely be back!

Took one of the PMP Prep boot camps taught by Jeff Garelik. He was excellent…read more The sample exam questions and sample exams were very solid in preparing for the PMP. My impression was that the sample questions were actually a little more challenging than the PMP questions. In addition to the boot camp, you will need a copy of the PMBOK as a reference guide. Once you have signed up for the boot camp and receive the registration, do the provided prep work before the boot camp. After taking the boot camp, review the materials that were received, and study, study, study. This company encourages taking the PMP exam within two weeks after the boot camp ends, plan accordingly. Study nightly, and retake the sample tests. I would recommend them to people interested in passing the PMP exam.

That means on weekends and during school breaks. (Check their website for their break schedule. For example, Winter Break 2021 ran from December 18th through January 2nd.) A few neighbors report it's open during the week in the evening. 2) Space: It's one large, tiered open area completely fenced in. There's a large turf area perfect for running around or soccer. There are different levels with plenty of areas to sit for parents. 3) Equipment: The most popular items are the zip line, a two-level fast slide and a rope tunnel course. They also have swings, lots of climbing equipment, a wooden bear, gargoyles art, a bear cave, two sand pits and so much more. My four-year-old daughter spends hours here without ever getting bored. 4) Parking: There's a small parking lot at the school. If it's full, easy street parking nearby can be found. One thing I didn't see while there are bathrooms. If you really need to go, walk north along nearby Wisconsin Avenue to local restaurants.

Compared to other Montessori schools in the area, the price is really affordable. The tuition is fair and there is no gouging with large mark-ups for children that stay the full day because their parents work full time. The teachers are very, very good. Our oldest daughter really excelled under Ms. Afsaneh and Ms. Dilhara. They gave her a solid foundation to early letter sounds and reading. Our younger child was in the toddler room with Ms. Janna. Both loved going to school. The teachers made learning fun, engaging and encouraged their natural curiosity. The school also provides meals, it's part of the tuition cost. All the meals provided are peanut and nut free - which was great for us as our oldest daughter has that allergy. The teachers were also trained and competent with epi-pens and emergency response, if needed. Our youngest daughter is allergic to eggs. The catering company provided me with monthly menus and ingredient lists so I could send alternate meals with her on the days she could not eat the school food. It was very organized and worked well. The school is located in an office complex, which has a lot of green area. They have their own playground and often take nature walks along the tree-lined parks and paths. The school provides Spanish lessons once a week. And, there are optional music and soccer classes. The teachers are very understanding and great about communicating with you on your individual child's development and needs. The school really caters to working parents. Any family-event activities are at the beginning or end of the day. And, their pick and drop off times are flexible. We recently had to move to California for work, and it has really put into perspective for us how great this school was. We've tried two different Montessori schools in San Diego, and in addition to being a fair bit more expensive, the teachers just don't compare. I would highly, highly recommend this pre-school to anyone looking to give their child a fun, positive and safe place to start their early education. Your child will have a solid foundation in basic reading and math while still supporting their natural curiosity an growth. There is a bit of a wait list, so be sure to contact the school in advance. If you are trying for the infant room, call when you know you are pregnant. For the 3+ class, the wait isn't as long, but call to find out. It's worth the wait.

Oak Hill is a very strict Montessori school. The teachers expect absolute silence and for the…read morechildren to perform all of the Montessori activities by the book. Children who do not adapt to these strict expectations are labeled learning disabled and parents are encouraged to get the child evaluated. I was told my 3 year old son had a cognitive learning disability because he did not listen. When I challenged the teacher on her ability to diagnose my child she got very defensive. When I told her my pediatrician said he was normal and he passed a hearing test Tasneem said that pediatricians do not evaluate children the way LD therapist do. When I told her we were not getting him evaluated and they should try giving him stars for good listening or try something esl she told us that we needed to leave the school in two weeks. Another parent told me her son did not do his work was not allowed to go to the playground. Other children have been expelled because they did not ask for assignments. But by far my biggest complaint is that the teachers speak horrible English. Ms. Afsahneh plagerizes her monthly newsletters from other sources. The part of the newsletter she does write is full of grammatical errors. I also note that the newletters are monthly and in arrears. When I asked her to give me updates on my son's naps, lunch, etc. she said that with a class of 18 she could not be expected to do this. They do not even give you a list of the other students names. The assistants are nice but unable to carry on a conversation in English. Ms. Asfsaneh is very unstable when faced with anything hard. When I asked her to help with potty training she got all flustered and upset with me that he was not fully trained and told me he had to be trained at home. Tasneem also told me that my 3 year old made Ms. Afsahneh cry because he would not stay on his nap during nap time. At our only conference and the one where we were asked to leave Ms. Afsaneh could not look us in the eyes. She sat with her arms crossed sething, angry that our 3 year old was "doing nothing". She would not entertain any ideas to help assimilate him to the Montessori classroom. The most frustrating part was when my husband and I separately visited the classroom our son did do the work...although he hung 2 eggs on one branch of a tree when apparently you are only supposed to hang one egg per branch.

I just completed a three day Introductory to Grants Management and Cooperative Agreements training…read more This training was in no way introductory. The trainer had to speed through the content and was even asked to slow down multiple times. This training needs to be broken into two classes with one actually having the introductory information and one with the rest. The trainer had to read to us from the manual and she read the slides to us. She did the best she could with the training materials provided to her. I would only recommend this course to someone who has experience in grants and cooperative agreements. Even the trainer was asking the participants how they usually run their grants and the different functions. Some of the participants were very well versed, meaning they were probably taking this as part of obtaining a certificate. Very unfortunate.
