Fortunately for us, all we wanted was a quiet therapuetic beach getaway so that we could get our tan on. We got half the deal, but sadly it rained for a good part of our get away. So what to do when it rains? Call Down to Earth and make an appointment to spend some time with Heather. If you get a her voice-mail, she is quick to respond. Make an appointment even if it's not raining! You can build in an hour of your time to do something very worthwhile! Her pottery studio is right by Break Awayz (read my review and go there too!) It's small and parking is across the street on the beach side. I already liked her studio when I walked in and heard country tunes playing on her Bluetooth. She was very patient with my 3 girls and was attentive when each one needed help with a particular skill. Even my 4 year old was able to independently navigate the potter's wheel after Heather guided her and gave her thorough instructions. (The step by step instructions are also listed on a board if you forget. ) The girls half way finished bowls looked worthy enough of Pottery Barn dishware. They have yet to glaze them, but I know they'll turn out beautiful. Not only do we get to walk away with lovely art work, but my girls enjoyed a rainy afternoon together as well. Trust me. Spending a little time here and then heading over next door for a hearty oatmeal stout and poke nachos, will be just as therapeutic as your time laying on the beach.

RSV is a highly contagious respiratory virus that can cause bronchitis, pneumonia and hospitalization in children. Carly Caldwell, the owner of this establishment continued to charge me for lessons I wasn't receiving during my daughter's illness. I wrote a letter to stop payment, she then sent that letter to my bank in order to prevent reimbursement of services not received. Her and I even spoke by phone and although I thought we would reach a resolution, she never called me back. It's sad to me that my daughter was never able to finish and during a difficult time of illness with my child, Carly put an additional $180 in her own pocket as a result.

We missed one scheduled session (two 15 minutes) and asked to make it up if they have a cancellation. They allowed to make up one, but told us their policy does not allow to make up the other. Lack of customer service is always a bad business judgment. A good business needs to have some flexibility in their policies and customer appreciation, especially that this was the only time during the past 7 months that we've missed. It doesn't cost them much to allow a make up during a cancellation because the coach is still in the pool. I have cancelled lessons for both kids because my policy is not to give business to a business that does not appreciate me as a customer.

As of this morning, I'm pulling my 6th Grader from Imagine School at Town Center!…read more The folks at the school are incredibly nice, and very helpful when you walk in requiring assistance of one kind or another. You're always greeted with a smile and assured everything will be taken care of. The problem? They don't follow through! My youngest son has always been an A student. Not to suggest he's perfect. He isn't. His A's have been hard won, and it's required a balance of teaching, parenting and great communication, which we've always had with his teachers. When he would start to slack off or not hand in homework, I made sure teachers knew that I was there, ready to respond. We recently received an email from his Math Teacher saying he was missing 9 assignments. (FIRST QUESTION: Why did it take getting to 9 before anyone contacted me?) I immediately contact the teacher by email requesting a list of the missing assignments and a meeting. To date, I haven't heard back. A little back story: My son started the year at a different school and was on the waiting list at Imagine. I guess they expected him to know their rules even though he wasn't there for orientation. As it turns out, the math teacher sends home a list of the weeks assignments every Monday for parents to sign, which was the reason we were supposed to know our boy was missing homework. The problem is that we didn't know she did this, and had NEVER sign one. You'd think that would be enough of a reason to email us and let us know something was wrong. My wife and I called to talk with the school about the situation and finally got a response from Kristy, the school's Assistant Principal. She explained that Imagine has a 24 hour contact policy, and that we should have received a call or email within 24 hours. Very sorry about the entire mess, she promised to look into the issue, have a meeting with everyone in the department and get back to us with the specifics of on my son's issue(s). That was well over a week ago and I haven't heard back from her either. My son recently came home with his progress reports, which contained several C's, two F's and a D. We signed and returned the progress reports with a request for a meeting with the teachers in each class. We still haven't heard from a single one. If you're looking for a great school that will educate your kids and communicate with you, this place isn't it. "Charter School" may sound nice, but going from an A student to a D student in just a few months and being ignored through it all... Enough is enough. We have many friends that teach in the Flagler County School system and when we told them we were moving our son to Imagine, every single one of them told us to be very careful. Some even described this exact situation. I should have listened. I didn't, and now my son is paying for it. I'm moving him back to Bunnell Elementary this morning. ----------------------------------- UPDATE: After enrolling my son at his new school, I returned to Imagine to let them know and make sure my son didn't owe them anything. I ended up meeting with Kristi Kendall and having a good talk. While there were attempts made to contact us, she agrees that we should have been called and that there is definitely a problem, even if only this time. There's a lot to this issue, and my review of one start still stands, but I couldn't walk away without doing everything I could to make them fully aware of the situation. No child or parent should have experiences like this. Particularly when they're so involved. I wish them luck and hope they fix this, and quick!

First I have to say that I have been so impressed with the middle school program. The teachers are highly intelligent, thoughtful people, who genuinely love their jobs. AND my son loves school. (He disliked his previous school in Wisconsin) Though we're just starting out with kindergarten with the twins, I have been equally impressed with their teachers. They seem knowledgeable and sensitive to our kids needs. I've had good experiences with the administrative staff as well. When we needed to rearrange our pick up schedule, the principle and vice principle were extremely cooperative. We moved to the area in part because we had read good reviews about Imagine...I can't believe how lucky we were...honestly it's better than what we expected.
