I have taken several classes with Catherine, a drawing class, and a watercolor painting class…read more Both classes were well run, informative, and enjoyable. As someone without a great deal of artist talent Catherine's warm and encouraging style allowed me to feel comfortable exploring and creating. Some of the other students in the class were very talented artists. The supportive atmosphere she creates in her classes allowed me to benefit from the techniques she shared with them rather than feeling intimidated. I highly recommend trying one of her classes no matter what your level of experience or talent.

I can't say enough good things about this preschool/ daycare. My son began when he was 3 (they…read morestart at 2.9). He is now 4 and in the full preschool program in prep for kindergarten. These people have taken preschool and perfected it to a science. The teachers are wonderful with the kids, the facility is clean and safe, the activities are amazing and my son actually enjoys going. I like how the teachers take the time to listen and treat each child as an individual. Yes there are rules and structure but they know there is "wiggle room" within that. When my son had problems paying attention they had multiple tools to try to help him. He still has his days (they're 4. Need I say more) but he is thriving and more than ready for kindergarten in Sept.

I had a beautiful experience tonight at the House of Rage. (yes, I said that right Lol). I went…read morethere with some of my four kiddos. They're teens dealing with all the normal crappy-teen "stuff". But our family is also dealing with some scary, stressful stuff. From the minute I walked into the unassuming building that is the wonderful House Of Rage, I felt AT home. I felt welcomed & cared for. Staff there were so very wonderful, gentle, & amazing and made us feel like we were hanging with friends while getting out some deep, hard emotions too. Nate & Diamond, thank you both very much for making my girls laugh & smile tonight. Diamond, you are a very intuitive, generous, loving spirit & I'm grateful to have met you. See you next time

On a whim, my daughter and I stopped by to see if we could do the paint room, drip zone package…read more They were able to do it and set it up so fast. The person at the desk was very nice and helpful. We had so much fun! We made an absolute mess but it was exactly what we needed. Would definitely go back again.

I got both of my children's hand & footprints pressed into clay at this location after a couple…read morefailed attempts at the DIY kits. I absolutely LOVE the finished baked and glazed product. It is expensive, but SO WORTH IT. These prints are now my most cherished possessions and an amazing reminder of the special time I had bonding with my boys during maternity leave. I will forever love these beautiful tactile prints of my boys as infants.

:) I'm the first! Anyway, why has no one reviewed SMP? Are they all down at Davoll's sippin' on…read morepop? SMP has great products that make for wonderfully unique gifts. You can get baby prints or wedding commemorative done especially for you. The "Welcome" signs, backslash tile & lamps are also really nice. Although most pieces are expensive, they are worth it based on quality and uniqueness. If you don't live in the area, they do ship! Here's the website: www.saltmarsh.com.

My nephew, however, had to let off some energy, so he ran off to play with a fish he found.

This place was a hidden gem. The simulations and hands on experience s were phenomenal. The staff…read morewere great. They took time to explain things to both myself and my kiddo. We were here for Aha night and got to decorate shells, however my kid had more fun with the hands on fishing equipment etc that he got to touch and try. I highly recommend this small slice of New Bedford's fishing history. Kids are free under 12 and you can easily spend 30-45 minutes truly looking and touching everything. So for the adult admission it's worth it.

My horses have been at Sunflower Meadows for almost three years. The care is wonderful, and my…read morehorses are as happy as can be! Our facility has recently moved to Tiverton, RI - it is absolutely gorgeous! We have a great team of instructors, and an amazing group of lesson horses that are all healthy, happy, well cared for and love their job! We often host horse shows, and clinics for riders of all levels. In addition, we travel to "A" shows including WEC, Fieldstone, Vermont Summer Festival, Saratoga & more!

Lindsey Canesi of Sunflower Meadows Equestrian is outstanding as a trainer for your horse or as an…read moreinstructor for children and adults. She has many years of equestrian experience from childhood and up through the ranks as an adult and uses that knowledge to help beginners develop a great base on the ground and under saddle. She is also able to help the advanced riders reach their goals and she does it all with care and patience. Lindsey has the gift of being able to communicate her knowledge to her students and their success in the show ring is proof positive! ....to sum it up, in one sentence: She excels with young children, making them feel safe and at ease while providing a fun filled riding experience and challenges the advanced riders to reach new levels of success. My personal experience with Lindsey has spanned many years now! I have left my beloved Thoroughbred with her on numerous occasions and he was cared for as if her were her own and as a boarder, that's the most important aspect to look for when making a decision wherein to stable your horse. If you are looking for an instructor or trainer, please give Lindsey a call, she will spend all the time you need on the phone or in-person and will answer endless questions with a smile on her face. She will greet you at the barn with a well mannered pony or horse for your lesson or a clean stall to board your horse and I guarantee that if you are utilizing my review as a blind-faith method of trying someone new, you will not be sorry that you did!

Our son started in the infant room in May 2015. So far, we love Briarwood. We feel that our son…read moregets a lot of attention from his teachers - you can tell by their familiarity with his personality quirks and favorite activities. Each of the teachers know my son by name, even the ones in the other classrooms who don't interact with him as often. Each classroom has an indescribable homey feel. I have also been very pleased by the variety of activities. The teachers take the kids outside, create age-appropriate art projects, and sing songs. Finally, I really appreciate the level of individualized communication from the teachers. We get an information sheet about his day at pick-up. In addition to what you might expect (times of diaper changes, length of nap, etc.), there is always a rundown of his daily activities. My spouse and I love reading through these in the evening - the teachers clearly pay attention to our son. I love hearing about how great of a day he had and that he was all smiles. We also receive emails over the weekend letting us know of the many events going on. I very much appreciate how he is treated as an individual and how much his teachers clearly care.

My husband and I are so happy we found Briarwood! I was very nervous to return to work and leave…read moreour 3 month old, but the teachers here have been wonderful. They let us visit a couple of times before our son started to ease our anxiety. Our son gives a big smile every time we drop him off! We can check on his day with their online platform and the director is always available to answer our questions anytime we call. When we pick him up we get a daily report sheet of diaper changes, feedings, songs they sang, books they read, and any other activities from the day. We highly recommend Briarwood!
