False allegations were made about me and I have contacted West Valley about them. Was told that they would investigate but had they investigated they would have discovered that the allegations were not true. Zero action was taken against this member. It's also is impossible to actually report anything to the deacons or elders as the head pastor always ends up getting involved and his actions are questionable. I have contacted Bethany about what has been taking place at West Valley and they haven't even been willing to give a response. Do yourself a favor and stay away from these churches, unless you would like to be a part of a church that makes false accusations about their members

Two of my children went to Hope and I can't say anything but nice things about the teachers they…read moreemploy there. I sent my children to Hope because my brothers and sisters all went to there and I knew it was a good school with amazing teachers and a lot of friends still recommended it. I do not have any plans to send my third child there as my experience this year was unacceptable. In past years there's been some issues here and there with the director. One was when my son had eye surgery; an effect of it was extremely bloodshot eyes. He was self conscious about it to begin with but then on his first day back at school the director announces loudly Oh My God what happened to his eyes. An adult should know not to do something like that and if she had questions she could have asked myself privately or his teachers who were well aware of the surgery and the side effects and had been prepping the kids for my son's return. Another issue we had was the director waited extremely long to cash checks. Months would go by and they wouldn't be cashed. But the kicker and final straw occured this year while my son as well as many others approached his teacher and the director about a bullying situation. Another child was picking on the boys of the class and hitting, pinching, kicking etc. This went on and on and on and the teacher didn't really do much. So finally myself and another parent addressed it to the director who let it roll right down her back like it was nothing. It got to the point where kids were terrified to go to school because of this child but since the school accepts all children they could not do anything. They also have no anti-bully rules and were unwilling to create them for the current school year. One day my son came home from school actually bleeding from the child and again I was told that they didn't actually see it happen so nothing would be done unless they could see it. She then went on to tell me that you can't just accuse people without facts even though 50% of the class had admitted to parents as well as the teacher they've been bullied. My response to that was look at the legal system every day criminals go on trial based on assumptions and she agreed that was a good point but I was still wrong and they would continue doing things they way she felt was best. She actually told me that they've only ever removed one child from their program due to the fact he continuously threw chairs!!!! I couldn't believe what I was hearing that a child had to on more than one occassion throw chairs at people before they were removed from the school. I want my children to be safe when they go to school and that statement right there proved that they are not safe at Hope Church Nursery School.

Felt inspired to give a personal perspective on hope in response. Hope is a wonderful place. Terrific, experienced teachers, a great group of kids and families, and charming and fun term end concerts. Our kids have great memories of Hope, and I still remember dropping off teary three year olds on the first day only to have them later on refuse to leave at the end of the morning because they loved their time there so much. It is a classic nursery school, probably not much different than the one I attended 4 decades ago, run by a warm and energetic director and fantastic teachers. We were lucky to have had the kids there.

I didn't really put much into it (she would say everyone was mean if they said no), until I started talking to other parents and they had the same issues.

I'm not an avid science museum fan but had a fun experience at Allentown's Da Vinci Science Center…read more It's the new location for the museum which use to be located outside of town so visiting gives you easy walking to other downtown attractions and museums. Everything was interactive and modern with just enough text and things to immerse myself in to keep my attention. I especially loved that there are live animals I can see including otters! Some of the fish seemed a bit crammed in their tanks. :/ And I was excited to see the live animal reveal...but it was a cold day and this happened on the upstairs pavillion outside so, being a California guy who had checked my coat in the free coat check lockers, it was too cold for me to stick with it. There were all kinds of heaters out there that weren't on which would have made a big difference to me (or anyone who gets cold easily) had they turned those on. I was there with a group of ten with adults and kids ranging from 4-16. Everyone had a good time and had plenty to do and interact with.
