So it's been a while since my initial review, and there have been changes many amazing, some…read moredisheartening . I now have children in the Elementary and one entering the High School. The Good Pinecrest still provides an exceptional academic program. I've had very open and transparent interaction with teachers and staff (family oriented). Looking at the schools data/ scores and the progress of my own children, I can attest to the success they have in providing an educational experience that can not be matched by the Public School System. It is rigorous and requires students do the work. Success at Pinecrest is dependent on what students and parents put in. Infinite Campus is updated and I appreciate being able to see what they are working on and when they will be assessed. It helps me keep track of my kids assignments and provide guidance as needed. If your student needs help,just ask. They have a system of support that is very student centered. The school is modern and progressive. They expose students to the technological advances needed to prepare them to be competitive as they enter college and workforce. Additionally they frequently have Guest Speakers, various Community Organizations, Events (very active PTA), Field Trips, all coveted opportunities that gives students exposure to every thing from Entrepreneurship, Career Exploration,The Arts, Community Building the list goes on. The programs for Middle School and extracurricular activities offered are top tier in my opinion. I am supper excited by the addition of the High School Career and College Tracks offered to the students. Pinecrest covering the majority of associated cost. Leaving High School with a Diploma, Certification or degree/ credits is a valuable opportunity. The Bad As Pinecrest has expanded there has been a very noticeable change in negative student behaviors. Bullying, Racism, and Mental Healthl issues have marred the appeal of the school. These issues in my experiences unfortunately have not been limited to students. However, when I've reached out I have almost immediately response and have recieved swift action. Once again, parental involvement is needed in addressing these issues and proactively seeking meaningful resolutions. I also feel Pinecrest needs to revamp how they set and enforce expectations when it comes to behavior. Most students there appreciate all that the achool offers. They come in ready to learn and engage in all the benefits the school provides. However, there are some that disrespect the learning environment continuously contributing little to the overall environment of the school. This is simply not acceptable. It does not go with the core values and goals of the school. More needs to be done to support the teachers in the classroom so that they can teach without distractions. Overall, our time at Pinecrest Cadence has been good. While like any other school there are issues, the overall value provided is still exceptional. I hope that as the school continues to grow they continue putting student success at the healm. Creating an environment where all students feel seen and valued.

A MOTHER'S TESTIMONIAL TO Brain Balance Achievement Centers:…read more What I can tell you from the deepest part of my core is that Brain Balance has been a huge game-changer for our daughter and family. Our journey started 6-months ago at Brain Balance where she started with many factors including: SPD, Anxiety, Giftedness Traits, Emotional / Social Struggles, OCD and this coming Monday will be here last session (having completed 72 total - 3x a week for 24 weeks at an hour each session). This program has helped her to create more ease and connection between both of her hemispheres. She came into the program right brain weak and tested at a 2.5 year old - although she was 5.2 in age and her left brain being overly strong, tested at 6.2 years old. So her gap was 4 years between both hemispheres which is what contributed greatly to her imbalanced ability to function at her given age. She's made incredible progress and her developmental growth in areas of social / cognitive levels has been up to 7 years in some areas from all the physical and sensory exercises and healthy nutritional efforts. A lot of emotions came up for me at the time of our daughter's assessment. My own anxieties of "can I do this", "will she do this", "how to pay for it" - all very natural and yet all fear-based - which is so prevalent to us as parents of special needs children. We have experienced so many struggles that we have felt "beaten down" and trusting that anything is going to work "this time" around. I wholeheartedly can tell you that Brain Balance Centers is THE best most single investment (financially, emotionally, spiritually, physically) that a parent can make if their child struggles with any of the following challenges: academic / social / behavioral issues, lack of focus, trouble making friends, tantrums, impulsiveness, learning disabilities and family / social relationships. Brain Balance provides a comprehensive, non-medical approach and deals with the SOLUTION not just the symptoms. They take the approach of the whole brain so that once the brain is balanced, thus the whole body, mind can work in concert with it. If you haven't already, I highly encourage you to read through Dr Robert Melillo's books: starting with "Disconnected Kids" to give you greater insight to his incredible research, work of Brain Balance itself. Our daughter started Brain Balance Centers in Las Vegas and 3 months into it we moved to Colorado (which I can tell you in no way would I have ever thought that to be possible knowing where we were when we started her back in March). She finished her last 3 months at Brain Balance Highlands Ranch and has been thriving and growing leaps and bounds in ways that I continue to prove to us just how significant Brain Balance has been for her. A year ago, we had to pull her from school (and homeschool her) due to a transition we made from one preschool to another. And a year later, we are in a new city altogether and she started in a new (way bigger) school and she has transitioned almost flawlessly. Her level of anxiety around meeting people, me leaving for errands or appointments and others watching her or putting her to bed has been amazing, she has conquered fears around swimming and even some of those sensory-tactile issues where I couldn't barely brush her hair (she's more at ease with) and her ability and growth in self-regulation where she is not losing it or melting down endlessly in public or at home over the "littlest things" has been transformational. The "seeds of change" being planted into the brain through this program (homeopathic) and non-medicine combined with the positive and supportive environmental stimulations that are helping those "seeds" to grow, has been mind-blowing. I know for a fact that had she not been in Brain Balance we could have NEVER made this move to Colorado as we did. If you know my work around conscious parenting (I have blogged many times) along with my personal videos, I have experienced every emotion and then some that a parent does with a child of special needs. These are just some of my passionate and heart-felt insights to our experience. I know that every child's needs are different yet the underlying problem with children struggling developmentally is the same. It will involve your support at home with food changes, exercises and limiting screen time. The teachings and practices of Conscious Parenting by Dr. Shefali have been my foundation through it as a parent. I embarked on the conscious parenting path before Brain Balance and have found it to have been a life-changing process for me too.
