I have been a guest piano teacher here and found this school to be impeccable. Reception and…read moreteachers are very friendly, even with my accented French. The kids here work hard and are very enthusiastic! There is a cafeteria here, so kids do not eat in the classroom as I did at my school when I was younger. There are computer labs and gyms and several recess areas so that the younger and older kids are not mixed during that time. There are recess monitors that watch the kids at recess. The school is down a residential street that provides a nice quiet atmosphere for them. The kids all seem to be really hard working and motivated!

So if someone liked it, then that is why. I recommend down the street at notre damme, Lisgar or even Glebe High schools for a better overall social!

My review of Carleton University has nothing to do with academics, as I never attended this…read moreuniversity. I was recently here to attend my friend's hockey game at Carleton Ice House, so my review is about setting foot on campus for the first time as a visitor. Getting to Carleton Ice House from my hotel in east Ottawa was straightforward. What I find to be a bold move is that there is a roundabout on campus. University Drive runs east-west at first, but you take the roundabout to continue on this street to head north-south. Nothing like messing with prospective students who are trying to do a campus tour and have to deal with a crazy roundabout perhaps for the first time. Same goes with first-year students who have enough to deal with that a roundabout may be intimidating to them, causing them to avoid it at all costs and yearn for a normal intersection. I frankly like roundabouts. They are efficient. I find them enjoyable because I grew up in a non-roundabout community. It was a pleasant surprise using one here. Ottawa, in general, has its parking act together, compared to some major Canadian cities. You pay for parking with an app at any parking lot on campus. You can either download the app (I'd recommend it if you are here often) or use the browser on your phone if you are an infrequent visitor like me. It works. It's efficient. I had a great experience using it to park. The Carleton Ice House is a wonderful hockey facility. It took me by surprise that it houses two NHL-sized ice rinks. It was great taking in a few games, including my friend's hockey game that I came to see. It is a state-of-the-art hockey facility with a sports therapy clinic. My friend and I had dinner at Lansdowne Park after his game. It was ridiculously close by. I liked my brief visit to this university. It has a nice balance of parks and buildings. It's also cool that the university is bounded to the north by the Rideau Canal and Dow's Lake, and to the south by the Rideau River. It was nice getting a brief introduction to the university while I was on vacation. It was totally unplanned and a pleasant surprise! I doubt that I'd ever get a doctorate degree here, but never say never, as the saying goes. (248)

I worked at Carleton for 2 years. People there used lies and gaslighting on me for the whole time…read more My supervisor never stood up for me. Despite that I had excellent reviews and 2 of the 3 people I supported agreed to be references for me. I went off on sick leave, and when I was able to return, they had reorganized the office and eliminated my position. A coworker told me that they actually created 3 full time positions to cover the work I had been doing. HR told me there were no equivalent positions and I would have to take a lower paying job. Then they offered me off with a paltry payout to leave their employment. I admit I agreed to take it and never return, but that was due to the fact that they said the offer was no longer available if I left the meeting. I should have consulted a lawyer. My fault. HORRIBLE place to work!

This is simply genius. Mme Amy knows how to teach English speakers how to speak French with their…read morechildren in such an insightful way. You can really tell she is pulling from her own real life experiences as a mom to put together a program that will make your job as a parent easier when it comes to introducing French. Thank you Mme Amy for going above and beyond to provide something that will help so many littles have more opportunities in life. I highly recommend this program whether you are a complete beginner in French or already fluent. Merci Mme Amy!

I don't usually write reviews but wanted to stop by and leave one for 123 Petits Pas!…read more My baby and I attended this past Spring session (2019) and it is by far our favourite parent/baby class so far (and that says something because we have taken a lot). We did a 45 min drive every Thursday morning and didn't regret it! Amy takes the time to make sure all the participants are comfortable -even if learning a new language is a bit outside of some of the parents' comfort zones. Like all the best educators Amy incorporates age-appropriate songs, movement, and FUN into her lessons so it feels more like play and less like school. I highly recommend 123 Petits Pas to parents/guardians/caregivers looking to expose their little one to a new language.

Great teacher! He really tailors to your specific needs. I would definitely recommend!read more
