There should be a zero stars option I do not recommend this childcare facility. My experience is…read morepretty lengthy and I probably won't be able to put everything on here .I'm very particular about where my child would be receiving care and did research had tours of childcare centers in the area. We chose this one as it was new and the classroom for the 2 year old program had a smaller ratio of children compared to others among other things that seemed great on the outside. Registered and filled out all required paperwork turned in a week in advance that included an all about me page to inform the teachers of my child's likes/dislikes etc..Come start day MONDAY March 7, complete chaos from the time I tried to enter the building. Walked down to her room 5 go in and kids are just running around toys everywhere no organization just complete chaos! A kid had an area rug pulled up and was underneath it another had a large plastic table on its side and another kid was laying on top of a play kitchen set. I also observed a pen and pencil in hands reach on the table with an iPad that was all next to the little sink the kids use. I then ask if my child has a cubby for all her things as this was her first day they should have been prepared for her first day and had a cubby the teacher ms Cynthia or Cindy came over and says no we don't so she just takes the bag of diapers and wipes her nap mat I have and shoves them in a cubby she finally introduces her self and the other teacher ms deserea and then asks me if there is anything they need to know about my child! I filled out a full front and back page telling them all about my child! They had no clue she was starting or who she was! I proceed back up to the front after leaving my child I should have just left right then! I tell the lady at the front what I just experienced and her answer was "It must be the weather " . What an excuse. I get on the camera app and see kids running all around I don't see any teachers paying attention or interacting with the kids still just chaos. The lady up front goes in the room I can see her getting the kids to sit at the tables they get shaving cream out and the kids are all smearing it all over the tables and themselves this is mens shaving cream( my child smells of it when I picked her up I know ) so now my child goes up to one teacher looks as if she is upset she doesn't like it on her hands that teacher just blew her off so she walks over to the other teacher and she picks her up under both arms and swings her over to the chair plops her in it and pushes it up to the table! I'm watching this all unfold on camera so I'm pissed . I go right back in ask to talk to the director Ms Monica just explained everything that happened and all I could get was I'm sorry ! Totally unacceptable no one will treat my child like that ! Also you can only login a certain amount of times before it tells you you can't log back in til the next day for camera access! No one told me that on the tour! I took my child out this all happened in just an hour I can only imagine what else goes on all damn day ! I can't get in touch with the owners either no number for Kayla or Michael Dority to inform them what's going on at their childcare facility. The staff needs to go through more training of how to comfort and direct a child that's upset . My child has never been in childcare she has been home with me for 2 years. She was so happy and excited to start and play with other kids and this experience completely ruined it for her! So if you are the owners and reading this how about you reach out and call me! Ask your director ms Monica about my experience. Actually Kayla you called me from the childcare center the week before we started so I have spoken to you before .

We absolutely love this facility. We started as soon as they opened and have no complaints. I went…read moreto multiple other daycare and early learning centers with lists of questions (my sister has been an early educator for years and gave me a lot of tips and state regulations to watch for). This is the only place we toured that made us feel comfortable and that our kiddos took well to immediately. I was a stay-at-home mom for two years, so, I was really worried about the transition for my children as well as myself; but all the staff -- Director and Owner's of this location included, were so welcoming and accommodated all of our needs. Since starting, my kids have flourished! Their social skills are great, they learn so much on a regular basis and love the teachers and staff. They get to participate in sensory learning activities where my kids can be kids and are still learning, plus other things like "Fun Fridays" keep things exciting and different. I can't say enough great things about this place! I truly see how much my kids enjoy it and how much the staff reciprocates that back. Other places were pushy and made my kids seem more like a check than something to be cherished. Another thing to note; I can check in/out on my phone in the app but I also get regular updates about my boys (pictures, what they eat/drink, if they need more items like diapers or wipes) so that is really nice and there is another app too peek in and see how they are doing if I feel the need.

This is a review for the track at the high school. I can't comment on the school, the kids, the…read moreteachers, the buses, the principal or anything else except the track! Which I love! I started running on pavement...didn't know anything different. Didn't realize that running on a track feels so much better on the knees and joints. Plus, it's way easier to do speed work on a track that's already all marked out. The only downsides: there's no water. You HAVE to bring your own hydration. Which really isn't that big of a deal. I mean, what runner doesn't have a camelbak, or a hydration belt, or at least a water bottle? The bigger thing is no bathrooms. I have seen the bathrooms at the track open exactly once, so unless they open them when school starts, do not count on there being anyplace to go! There have been days where there are groups using the track (school athletic groups, I think), so you just have to play nice and give them room. There really is plenty of room, you just have to be aware of what people are doing around you. I love this option to work on my speedwork; it feels better om my legs, plus there's bleachers if you want to incorporate some bleacher work into your running routine as well. Come on out on Tuesdays at 7 pm and see me and my running peeps! We will be there!!

I was raised Baptist and we bounce around between a couple different Churches when in Houston. When…read morewe are in Galveston we attend First Presbyterian. We looked a couple of different Churches and denominations down there and were lucky enough to find this one. The Church is absoutley beautiful with lots of history. It has three seperate authenic Tiffany Stained Glass windows. Amazingly enough the three were designed and made by Louis C Tiffany at the beginning, the middle and the end of his career. They are beutiful and a joy to look at especially when the sun shines into the sanctuary the colors are glorifying. I think what really made us call FBC home is the minister Dr David Green. This is a man that was truley sent by God in my opinion. His ability to connect and his demeanor is an inspiration. If your are looking to Worship in GATX go here...you will enjoy it. BTW...Dr Green always has the service last one hour...hes to the point without being rushed. They add just the right amount of singing without it getting overwhelming.
