We visited for the first time a couple weeks ago for a trial class for both my kids. I picked a day of the week where they could both take a class at the same time. Pros: *the teachers were great! *The kiddy pool that the kids can play in before/after is fun for them. Cons: *it's connected to the gym right behind it and apparently the gym goers get to use the same pool facility. There was a couple weird/creepy looking old men in small swimsuits that were using some of the lanes in the biggest pool, that didn't make me feel comfortable as a mom. *there was a man who was either an owner or manager, he had long hair and he looked like a creepy guy as well, which sets off my mom radar (when you work around kids for a living, you should be very aware of the appearance you put off to parents), I will say he did kindly ask how our class was.. *this place is hot and humid as all heck inside where you sit to be close to your young kids, we only had a 30 minute class but it felt like forever and I was sweating everywhere but the time we left. Just not a good fit for us.

The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and patient to the students. They listen attentively and illustrate the lessons to the best extent possible to help teach the students . The facility is welcoming, clean and fun! The school is located in Crunch fitness but not operated or owned by them. The locker/showers are not part of the swim school. The swim school has its own office which has changing rooms/ bathrooms and a shower area which is kept clean and separate. I love that this location in Eagle has a splash pad for the kids to play before and after! I highly recommend this swim school over any swim school in the area!

It gave her all the knowledge she needed to do her drives and score well, even on the very first one. Since this was her first ever online course for a class, it gave her the confidence to know she can be successful taking online classes too. Being a good driver is important and teaches students many life skills. We are very happy Excel Driving School and staff gave her the start.

Treasure Valley Driving School greatly eases a potentially scary adventure. I had no idea how the…read morepermit process worked in Idaho, and they graciously brought me up to speed. I mistakenly thought applying for a permit immediately meant a youngster could drive with a parent. Nope! They have to complete the online instruction first, then the instructor driving and observation time, and THEN the physical permit is provided for your child to drive with you. I expected they'd teach the basics: Starting the car, fixing mirrors, hand-over-hand and overcoming the foot pedal pressure required on both brakes and gas. I wasn't expecting much else in only 6 hours for a completely green child. Instead, in just those 6 hours of instruction, they'd parallel parked, gone on mountain roads, driven in downtown Boise, and changed lanes multiple times on the freeway!!! As if that wasn't impressive enough, they had also completed a mock run through the final driving course they have to navigate to get their license. I was utterly shocked at how strong of a beginner driver they gave back to me. I was not in fear at all when we started logging time together. A confident and knowledgeable driver is MUCH easier to guide through the many variables experienced on the road. The front office lady was very warm and friendly when I called to inquire. She explained everything to me and brought me up to speed. Their online course was fact-based, yet still enjoyable. My child was eager, and finished it with a passing grade inside of a week. Then we booked the instruction training appointments. I'd heard those can be hard to get at some places, and is one of the reasons I first looked here. They have multiple instructors (I think she said eight), which definitely allowed for time slots after school and on the weekends (summer bookings must be a breeze!). The cars are new, the instructors are knowledgeable and very competent, and the entire experience was positive. I can't thank Marshall, an instructor, enough for his teaching style that still resonates with my child whenever we start a driving session. I generally only write reviews for 1-star and 5-star experiences. The rest are run-of-the-mill. This experience was 5+. Thank you!

And it's incredible to see what young kids pick up on when they're not being pushed. My daughter does pliés, passés, and pirouettes in the kitchen daily and even says their names correctly! This is definitely a special place where they encourage fun and creativity. It's so playful and cute. Plus the owners of the studio truly care about you and your child's experience. Sugar on top: The studio is beautiful and clean.
