All 3 of my children have been at CCDC Lake Otis since they were about 8 months old. My oldest is…read morenow about to graduate at 5. We have had a really wonderful experience. The main administrator/front desk person is just incredibly nice to work with and so great with my kids, very easy to communicate with. All of the teachers have been caring with my children. I've found the center to be extremely reliable- they have only been unexpectedly closed due to weather events that follows ASD closures. I've been extremely impressed with the preschool curriculum- my son comes home counting in Spanish and has learned basic writing and is working on reading. Overall, I feel my children are safe and well-cared for and I would recommend CCDC to friends.

Dimond High Pool is the only Muni pool available on the southside. On Saturdays from 2:30pm - 4pm…read morethis Muni pool hosts open swim for the whole family at very affordable prices. They even have family passes available for purchase. They take cash or card but they don't carry a ton of cash FYI. See their calendar online for costs and additional schedules. All of my previous Muni pool experiences have been at West High Pool (closed for summer 2022). This was my first visit to Dimond pool. Let's be honest, West is better in every way, but Dimond is a great alternative. Clean pool, lots of considerate life guards, and nothing of ours got stolen in the locker room. So grateful for Muni pools. Hotel rooms get costly.

I have been using this agency since my daughter was in high school. When you have special needs…read morechildren you have to make sure the school district doesn't take advantage of the situation just for the extra funding. They will try to believe me so that's why I came here for an advocate they call a parent navigator. The parent navigator was very sweet and meant well, but I felt more lost than ever in these huge round table IEP meetings. If you don't know what to ask for or how to word the IEP, the school makes suggestions that benefit them. Our navigator just sat there and didn't say a word. She was more of a witness than anything. I needed someone to...navigate so it was frustrating. That's why this review is missing a star. I stopped using them shortly after that. Fast forward to this year. I decided to use them again because finding a non profit can be daunting. This time I was trying to obtain an ISW waver for my daughter which she had previously been denied when she needed it the most. This is where this agency shines. They hooked me up with a great guy named Thomas that gave us the referral we needed. He wrote up an awesome report that helped with all of the other information gathered to successfully obtain the waver my daughter needed for these extra services. I cannot tell you how his help managed to lift the anvil off of my shoulders I had been carrying around for many years. It was quick, professional and he definitely knows what he's doing. I haven't met all of the people that work for SSG, but Thomas is definitely my favorite I highly recommend SSG and Thomas specifically if you are needing a waver. They also have activities we haven't done yet but are highly looking forward to in the future. Keep up the great work! It's nice to work with someone highly suited for and passionate about their job!
