As a parent with 3 children spanning the ages of 6 years, 3 years and 15 months (and started at 4…read moremonths) who attend Foothills, I can honestly say that there is no other school in the area that I would rather have my children attend. All of the teachers sincerely LOVE our children and go out of their way to help them, be it academically or socially. Some days your babies need a hug and they are always there for them, this is not the case in most public schools. They are incredibly accommodating with our busy schedules and are always open to adopting changes that could benefit your child's emotional and academic growth, which comes with the a small class size and personalized instruction. We highly recommend Foothills to everyone in the area!

Everything about Sun and Stars is pure joy! In just a few months, my son has grown so much as an…read moreindividual, a student, a friend - I cannot sing high enough praises about Sun and Stars. My son immediately bonded with his amazing teachers -- Ms. Micki, Ms. Nelli and Ms. Nancy -- they are a true blessing! He loves his "new friends" and has become far more independent and self-confident amongst his peers. More than ever, he has also developed an unquenchable thirst for learning. He has gained a huge sense of self-worth; he loves to try new things and is so gratified when he masters the task at hand. "I try again" and "I did it" have become two of his favorite phrases - both of which have me bursting with delight. In short, he is thriving. I cannot recommend Sun & Stars enough. We are so lucky to have them.

FIVE STARS for Sun & Stars Montessori School!…read more I recently met Ms. Tammy Harbison, Executive Director at the Sun and Stars Montessori School. She had a vendor booth at the St. Helena farmer's market and had set up a little display for children to play musical instruments. We spoke about the school's approach to exposing children to learning and exploring. Sun & Stars is a non-profit, non-denominational, privately owned and operated school. The curriculum is based on the teaching's of Maria Montessori and is guided by student interest. Learning is self-directed through choice, independence, and hands-on experiences. While children found and played with the 10+ musical instruments in her booth, she encouraged them to explore and experiment with different mediums and sounds. NICE! She even gave pointers on how to facilitate exploration of music at home - sticks on ice cube containers, drums out of containers, etc. Tammy gave many of the children attending the farmer's market a FREE ribbon stick (a 1.5' stick with three multi-colored ribbons) and encouraged them to just "Have Fun!". Truly, she is a professional who is more interested in properly facilitating childrens' learning processes, than to make a buck (which also would be nice). What a great business! I'm impressed with the executives of this school!

The ambiance is fairly nice. The current culinary students are both the chefs and the servers. The food is very good, with recipes that change from time to time. It's a choice of a three-course or a four-course meal, with an optional wine pairing. You will have multiple choices for each course. Everyone in our party said that their food was very good. If you do want to have dinner at the CIA, be sure to make your reservations asap. They are usually booked up solid, pretty far in advance.

While The Magic Circus' website speaks to the kinds of activities for which you can hire them, it doesn't talk about the fact that they are truly professional and inspiring performers. I hired the Magic Circus for my Wife's birthday party, an adult event, and the magic show and performance that Bebe and Benny delivered was entertaining and engaging, and people are still talking about it years later. There was a piece that Bene performed, with just the brim of a hat, that was hysterical and showcased his effortless range as a comedic actor.
