But seriously: I did a tours for my 3 year old daughter at many different preschools and this one stood out as the best one by a long shot! As soon as you walk inside, everyone greets you in a calm, caring, and JOYFUL manner. My daughter is shy and refuses to speak to new adults a lot of the time and even she opened up immediately when we toured here. I completely trust that this preschool will be the perfect fit for my daughter and my daughter seems to agree- she cried when she had to leave!

My boys love this place - they've been through a couple class sessions and really enjoy it…read more We've had a birthday party here which was a lot of fun, we had the place to ourselves. The only downside is that the seating is on the perimeter so if your kids are on the ninja course it's tough to see. Overall would highly recommend you try this out if you're looking for a fun gymnastics class.

I was interested in signing my daughter up for classes, but before I could do so, or even see the…read morefull fee schedule, I was required to accept several "policies". The first several inches of text were all reasonable; things to expect, class rules and expectations, etc. Then, way down towards the bottom was the waiver. Basically, this waiver states that if injury or death occurs, even if directly caused by the negligence of the company, then I waive any claim of fault, both for the company itself, and all officers and employees of the company. Not only that, but, in the case that a third party attempts to follow a claim, I must DEFEND them!! So basically, even if my 5 year old gets hurt because they put her on a rotted piece of gymnastics equipment, I'm just expected to shrug and say "mea culpa". Caveat emptor - make sure you read the fine print.

Truly, if I could give my account manager Michael G. (the best one though I'm biased) six stars, I…read moreabsolutely would! He went above and beyond, taking time after work on a Friday to walk me through the entire Spear platform. That alone says so much about his dedication. He's incredibly detail-oriented, professional, and welcoming, but also just naturally funny, which made the whole experience even better. I'm a dentist, and I've worked with a lot of different reps, but Michael stands out. He feels like the leader of all the managers! He truly understands the value of everything Spear has to offer and explains it so well that I feel like he could sell any course to anyone. Spear is lucky to have him, and he deserves the biggest applause!

I was first introduced to Spear probably a decade ago when I was an associate dentist. I was so…read moreimpressed by Frank Spear at the first seminar I attended. Shortly after that first visit, I purchased my own practice and wanted to learn everything I could at spear. I took seminars, workshops, several a year and joined a Spear study club. The large investment felt worth it because I was getting a great education and taking things back to implement in practice making me a better dentist and leader. Fast forward to 2021, I sold my first practice and moved to a new state. Not the best time to be taking a workshop, I reached out to Spear to let them know I needed to postpone a workshop I had scheduled and they responded it would be no problem, I could reschedule for no penalty. I then purchased a new practice and joined spear practice solutions in addition to maintaining my study club status. I upgraded to a mentor plus program and spent the most I think you can spend per month on their memberships for a year. At the end of the year my practice transitioned to a patient management software not supported by Spear practice solutions. So i cancelled that membership, but kept everything else. This was in the beginning of April 2023. I had asked if there was any concern about me attending their summit presentation in April, i got told no, no issues. Then about a week before the Summit, I receive an email that I cannot attend the Summit since I'm no longer a SPS member. I was angry b/c I'd already changed my work hours for that week and had a flight and hotel arranged. After several emails and being told I was going to receive a huge favor, they "allowed" me to attend. This really rubbed me the wrong way, but I stayed with them. Then a few months later in booking a workshop, I was told my time to rebook had expired. I had no clue this even could happen. A course I'd paid for in the past ($5500) I could no longer take, I was told because over a year had gone by since I paid for said course. Totally fair policy, except I was never made aware of it. Eventually, after several phone calls and a google review, I was told I could use the voucher for another course. I scheduled for Feb 2024. Less than two weeks prior to the course, I receive an email that the course is cancelled. Frustrated, I call and ask what is going on and am told I have no other options really, except reschedule for May 2024. So i did. This is 3 days of work missed b/c I was intending to be in Scottsddale. May rolls around, I send an email to Braxten (my advisor) a couple weeks before my course to check in. He doesn't respond. Another email. No response. So I call Spear and get told the course has been cancelled. Why wasn't I informed before this? They don't know but they think my name got left off the list, just a mistake. Ok, but I'm furious because this is the second time for this course and now it's less than 2 weeks away and I'm here with 3 open days in my schedule and another flight and hotel I need to change. I let them know I had no desire to book again and just want a refund. Now I'm being given the run around, emails ignored, etc. I was told I'd receive a refund, but it didn't show up by the time I was told it would. The amount offered in the refund is about half of what I paid. At this point, no amount of money refunded is enough, and I'm sure Spear knows that. But they continue to layer insults on top of the already frustrating things they've done by offering a partial refund. I hope by sharing this, other dentists really look into options other than spear for their education. The company has plummeted in customer service and prices obviously have continued to be extremely high. They merged with CDOCs a year or two ago. Both companies were pretty good until they merged, now both treat their clients horribly. At least in my experience.

The entire crew at this location are fantastic. No matter which instructors my children were partnered with, they received exactly what they needed every, single session. The instructors make math fun and understandable. My children gained a tremendous amount of confidence, as well as a better attitude toward math, during our year at Mathnasium. My favorite part of this program is how they require the students to explain their methods, thoughts, processes, etc. This has greatly helped my kids grasp concepts they were previously struggling with.

Scottsdale Country Day School has been a wonderful environment for my two daughters over the past…read moretwo years. We couldn't be happier with the quality of education, the dedicated teachers, and the principal; the school really feels like a nurturing home for children seeking a supportive atmosphere, friendly classes, and, most importantly, top-notch education. We feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend this school. The class sizes are small, and the teachers are exceptional. Many of them have been with the school for a long time, and they genuinely care about each student, taking the time to understand their needs and provide support for their success. A heartfelt thank you to all the teachers and the principal for being such amazing individuals who create a family-like community.

I spent six long, harrowing years as a student at that institution--years that left permanent scars…read moreon my mental and emotional well-being. Despite being an A+ student with an IQ of 128, capable of outperforming and intellectually outpacing nearly every teacher I encountered, I was not celebrated or supported--instead, I was neglected, belittled, and emotionally abused. My academic abilities were not nurtured but resented. Rather than being challenged, I was forced to endure mind-numbing lessons from instructors who could barely grasp the material themselves. I routinely corrected teachers in class, only to be met with disdain, defensiveness, and ultimately, retaliation. But the academic neglect was nothing compared to the emotional and psychological torment I endured at the hands of both students and staff. I was relentlessly bullied--verbally, emotionally, and even physically--for the entirety of my enrollment. These weren't isolated incidents; they were sustained and malicious campaigns of abuse by my peers. When I bravely reported these assaults to staff, I was met with cold indifference or outright gaslighting. I was told I was being "dramatic," that I needed to "toughen up," and that I was "disrupting the learning environment." When I escalated my concerns to the school manager--Kathy--her response was nothing short of cruel. She scoffed in my face, accused me of being disrespectful, and told me, point-blank, that I was the problem. This, while I was actively being physically harmed by another student. Even more egregious was the school's blatant, repeated violations of my federally protected 504 plan. As a student with diagnosed anxiety, I was entitled to legally mandated accommodations, many of which were ignored so frequently it became clear they either didn't understand them or simply didn't care. I was denied access to quiet spaces during panic attacks, pressured to participate in overwhelming group activities, and subjected to overstimulating environments--classrooms that often exceeded the supposed 20-student limit, sometimes swelling to 25. For someone with sensory sensitivities and anxiety, this was unbearable. And despite my mother's repeated interventions--including the threat of legal action--the violations continued. Her concerns were dismissed, just as mine had been, until the threat of a lawsuit forced them into temporary compliance. Even then, the staff retaliated by socially isolating me. Teachers began to pretend I didn't exist--ignoring my questions, refusing to acknowledge me in class, and subtly encouraging my classmates to do the same. The school's leadership, including the headmaster and his wife, were complicit in this culture of silence and evasion. They refused to address the bullying or discipline the students responsible. They avoided me in hallways, in meetings, and at events--as though I were a nuisance, an inconvenience, rather than a child in distress. Their middle school program is an academic sham. It failed spectacularly in preparing students for high school--especially public school, where the expectations are higher, the pacing faster, and the social landscape more diverse. The curriculum lacked rigor, creativity, and relevance. There was no individualized instruction, no meaningful academic mentorship, and no emotional support. The school's claim of a "20 students per class" policy is a blatant lie, used to lure unsuspecting parents into a system that is anything but nurturing. The overcrowded classrooms, the incompetence of staff, and the toxic culture of student cruelty formed a perfect storm of dysfunction. By the time I left, my mental health was in shambles. I developed severe anxiety, trust issues, and a deep-rooted fear of authority figures. I stopped raising my hand in class, stopped asking for help, and started to believe that I was the problem--when in reality, I was a child being failed at every level. What this school did wasn't just negligent. It was abusive. And I will never forget it.

Has got to be my most favorite in person quilt store I've ever visited. I spent about an hour here…read moreyesterday morning after learning about the shop from a quilting Facebook group. The store had tons of example quilts, lots of quilt kits, patterns, books, cutting mats, Aurifil thread, and sewing accessories (needles, thread conditioner, pens etc). It was super well organized and thoughtfully designed. Loved how all the Christmas patterns and fabric were together along the back wall. I loved how they used a lot of free patterns available from fabric manufacturers. Most importantly I had great customer service! All the store employees asked me if I needed help and if I was doing ok. As a younger quilting customer (mid 30's) I am frequently completely ignored. So I was pleasantly surprised when I was helped! While I couldn't buy everything I had my eye on I learned they have free shipping through their online store - almost unheard of in the quilting/fabric world. Will definitely buying from this store in the future!
