I absolutely love the chalk paint she sells (Dixie Bell brand), and I refinished all of my kitchen cabinets with it. It covers better than any chalk paint I've used, and it looks amazing! Also, Kim refinishes furniture and makes the most unique things! She uses stencils to add a beautiful touch to her art pieces, plus she teaches classes, which I haven't yet attended, but plan to! She is a great teacher and is passionate about what she does, and I've seen pictures of what they make in the classes- there are so many options!

It was a bit pricy bc you pay for the piece as well as the studio fee so we paid close to $60 for the 2 pieces we painted but it was a special occasion so worth it :)

Lazy Daisy staff was helpful, patient, and kind! Party room was spacious and cheery, and not fancy, so no worries about what young kids might do in the space. Plenty of tables and chairs for a group of 10 kids plus parents--had two sets of tables so we could do ceramics on one, have extra activities (paper crowns to decorate, coloring pads, blank cards, fossil excavation kit) on the other for those who finished painting early, and then could have cake at the first table once the ceramics were cleared away. They let us store our ice cream cake from Kirt's in their freezer till it was time, and even helped us find plates and forks, which we forgot to pack. (Fortunately there is a nearby gas station with sundries.) They are a small business, so cash/check is preferred (wish I had remembered to bring a checkbook). We did a "test run" painting some small items in the drop-in studio with the two birthday celebrants a week before the party, which worked well so they felt familiar with the venue and activity--if you can manage it I'd recommend that too. In theory the room can handle up to 50, but I'd say our group of ~25 was perfect for the space. Would warmly recommend this place to any parents seeking alternatives to Little Gym, Carver Rec, and Discovery Museum birthday parties for this age group!

Now that my prerequisites are done, it's just fitting to write a review of my experience at PVCC…read more Being a stay at home mom was great and all, but I wanted to learn something new. I was lucky that I lived close to PVCC and started taking some classes. I didn't really have anything in mind, not even a clear goal, I just missed learning. First step you have to go through: ADMISSIONS. Be very careful who you talk to here. The advisors have a different take on which classes you can take or not. Advice seems to change from person to person. They are there to sell and make money from the classes they offer. I got credit for most of my courses from my previous degree in a science-related field, but one advisor wanted me to take the math placement test and repeat college algebra. One and a half years later, another advisor, said I didn't have to take a math placement test and repeat college algebra since my general, organic and biochemistry subjects were credited at the college. I would have wasted time and money on a class I didn't really have to attend. Thank goodness that sensible advisor was there that day and she signed me up on Statistics I (I got A, btw). In addition, it's better to talk to Advising in person. Emails won't get you anywhere. PROFESSORS: I am totally impressed. I took Anatomy and Physiology I and II here, and my professor was an MD. The Statistics I class professor has a doctorate from UVA. The Lifespan Development (PSY230) professor has very good credentials, but I DO NOT recommend HIM. Do NOT taken this professor's online class (last name starts with R). That psych class was the only B I got. I hate recommending looking up these profs at ratemyprofessor.com, but i totally recommend it now. FACILITY: Cadaver Lab. Great for students who are serious about studying Anatomy. Not all CCs have this kind of lab, so students here are extremely lucky. TESTING CENTER: Smells like the pits. I am very sensitive to smells and I couldn't concentrate from the moldy smell from the carpet. PROGRAMS: It is a Community College, so only A.D.s are offered. Despite that, the programs are very competitive. During my time here, I've seen students compete like it's the Hunger Games (especially ADN hopefuls) because they only have a few seats in this program. It was what I initially wanted to apply to, and it made me sick to my stomach that I would have to do Battle Royale for this. HAPPY ENDING: As I have mentioned, I thought I was going to apply for an associate degree so I could eventually go back in the workforce after my stint as a sahm, but I got accepted to a 16 month Accelerated BSN program some place else. AVOID: I see a lot of MLM recruiting posted on bulletin boards and weekly job posting emails. It's even plastered in most cars parked on campus. Overall, it's a good CC, also affordable. I definitely recommend, especially, for adult learners.

The teachers are awesome, many of them teach at UVA as well. The biggest issue I ran into going to PVCC was the lack of availability of advisors. If you're on a general studies associates path- GOODLUCK getting an appointment with an advisor- I had to schedule an important meeting for a month away. Other advisors wouldn't take me either. I tried to schedule a quick meeting (a service that they offer) but they have not responded to me. Students need to have these resources readily available. I should not have to wait a month to find out if I can graduate or not.
