This Easter weekend is the first "student voice" plays in 15 years and I saw the first night…read more The plays are a collaborative skit from student performers and the student screenwriters. The dynamic gave the performers the ability to showcase their talents (dance, singing and instrumental) without losing the meaning the stories were telling. The plays were adult, contemporary, and emotionally moving. After the skits was a brief performer and director introduction plus a question and answer period. My only question is "why was this in the basement theater"... the small audience was nice to be part of, but a larger audience would be nice also. If you want something adult but college youthful to experience this is an excellent event to enjoy.

Everyone at the Luke and Beaufort, SC Campus is beyond reproach all care about their students. They communicate well and look after their students from day one, all the way to even after graduation. Webster University Main Campus however, and those that don't own up to their accounting mistakes and allow their "Alumni" to damage their credit call for this poor rating. My specific case of accepting poor guidance and lethargic action when the University's accounting department (along with the Department of Veterans' Affairs) made a mistake and caused me to incur negative credit charges as well as an extra $400 service fee, all because the four staffers at the Main Campus in St Louis took 4 months to figure out they were over paid. They admitted they made the mistake, to prove their point, they overnighted me a check for the difference to "make me whole"... They had no interest in paying the late fees incurred by their delayed response. All it would have taken to keep me from writing this review and more to come, would have been to simply apologize and reimburse me the $400 in fees... but your university couldn't bear to even respond to that request, much less write the check. Webster University will get bad press from me at every campus I come across the rest of my military career. It's not the 80pt Credit Score hit, or $400, but mostly the principles of being a school students should trust.

My daughter started attending Step Ahead towards the end of August 2021 (She had just turned 2 in…read moreJuly). Within a week, they asked First Steps to come evaluate her for therapies since she was not talking or understanding direction - which was a blessing as First Steps has been the best thing for her. She began receiving therapy services at daycare from First Steps in September 2021. In October 2021, my daughter was diagnosed with autism by her neurologist. I gave the diagnosis letter to her teachers the next day she attended. I received a phone call from one of the directors at noon that same day stating that I needed to find another facility for Evangeline because she stresses her teachers out. I immediately called her therapists crying because not only did I just find out that my daughter was on the spectrum, but she was already being treated poorly because of it. Her therapists gave me a resource to send to the daycare that could offer additional support to not only Evangeline, but other children in the facility. I sent this information via e-mail to the director and called back to notify them of it. No response about the e-mail I sent and the resource was not used to my knowledge. A couple days later, the other director called me to back-pedal for the first director and ended up just repeating/agreeing with what was said Monday. More stress added onto me that I did not need. Mind you - my daughter is very sweet. She is not aggressive; she does not harm others or herself. She is non-verbal and throws tantrums (like most toddlers) when she can't understand or communicate her needs. Since the daycare could not legally kick her out, I did not remove her from their care. Since this initial discussion with the two directors, any time I had to call them about something, they would bring up her needing to go somewhere else. I started looking around for daycares that could support ASD children but they all had long waiting lists that would take months to consider her. Fast forward to the end of Spring 2022 - Step Ahead is sending home summer activity permission slips and sending out mass messages asking parents to fill them out so children can participate. We did not receive one so I messaged them about it. They called me and once again stated she was better going somewhere else. She would be turning 3 in July and they did not know which 3 year old group they would place her with because both groups are in rooms without doors. They were worried that she would wander out of the area because of this (as would most 3 year olds?). I was then told to be prepared for it to not work out. This caused me extreme grief and I decided when she turned 3, that I would have to remove her from their facility until she started Pre-school in August. Long story short - while this facility is great for neuro-typical children, it is a terrible facility for neuro-diverse children. The lack of communication regarding their inability to care for her until after her diagnosis is discriminatory and the fact that I was continuously asked to find her somewhere else to go has caused me a great deal of unnecessary stress. I will say - two of her teachers have been a saving grace for us. My daughter ADORES Ms. Taylor and Ms. DeeDee. We probably wouldn't have lasted as long as we did if they were not there. But I think if this facility plans on continuing services, they should provide teachers training to support children with needs.

We were greeted when we walked in by warm, friendly staff who explained everything to us. I cannot rave enough about the swim instructors with my daughter. She made them work on night 1! As a behavior analyst, I was impressed with their skills with balancing rapport building and following through to push her. She was "that one" that was loud and screaming and no one was visibly bothered. Also before going I was skeptical of how much can really be done in 30 minutes with a small group of 3/4 year olds. I was also impressed with how quickly they move between children's turns, sharing attention with each one, and keeping the pace moving!

My daughter has gone off and on since she was five months. My son just started when he turned 2 months old. My daughter is very comfortable in the water and some of the thanks goes to the instructors here. I only wish she was actually learning safety measures. I've watched videos of children smaller than her tossed into a pool and able to back float or swim to safety. I'm sure some of this will come in due time but for the cost, more aggressive teaching would make me happier. I do however appreciate the warmth of the water and that it's not chlorine. That reeks havoc on black children's hair.

I did feel like the teacher wasn't sure how to support multiple people who had questions, it felt like she thought people knew much more on their own than we did.
