Even the front desk is super nice and knowledgeable when checking in. Easy registration online, location is quiet with enough parking spots, and LOVE that there are pieces to purchase form local artist. The class itself is a nice small size. You can try to make as many pieces in the 2 hours, but only pick 1 final piece to fire. I learned so many new skills and was covered in clay at the end of the class. I'm eager to take more classes and recommend this place to friends.

Many of us were uncertain about our artistic abilities but Cheers Pablo makes it easy! We booked a class. Everyone paints the same thing and the leader demonstrates techniques and places to paint first to get the best result. I believe the session is supposed to be 90 minutes, but they didn't rush you out - they were generous and said the next class wasn't until 3 hours later, so we were good to finish. The provide canvas which had a penciled outline of the art that you are going to create. They provide a large variety of acrylic paint and glitter for you to create your artwork. It was lots of fun! Already looking to see when I can come back with my family. One tip I will leave is - wear clothes and shoes you wouldn't mind so much if paint got on it. If you see paint on yourself right away, clean it off before it dries. In my case, I got a nice speckle on my boot that I didn't realize until I got home, and now I have a speckled ugg.

I started at the Rock 201 level, (level 3 out of 6) and ended in Houseband, a performance based group who played at Summerfest in Milwaukee, the Mall of America, and the Xcel Energy Center at a Wild game. I've loved all of my instructors and their various teaching styles. They offer every aspect of a rock band, including all the instruments mentioned above. Kids are also able to pick from a variety of artists and genres to cover as a band, and make new friends and learn the importance of teamwork. I had the privilege of learning here, and went from fumbling through vocals on "Eye of the Tiger", to absolutely mastering every instrument on "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and teaching a group of younger students how to play it as a band. I've not only improved musically, but also as a person. I've learned the importance of teamwork, respect, hard work, and consistency. I've become a better public speaker and more of an extrovert, but also gained more self awareness, and I firmly believe that my emotional development is easily owed to this program. If your child (or you!) stick with this program, it will definitely be worth your while! Even though the school is aimed at students, adults are also able to receive lessons and there is an adult band! Any level of music education and experience is welcome here, and will be greeted with open arms.

If you work at the UMN you'll have the added benefit of using their parking lot to store your car while you work, UMN charges $160/month for a spot just blocks away! Your child will receive multiple meals as opposed to other centers that charge extra or make you provide meals. Only downsides are the expense and some rooms seem to have a high-turnover rate.

He had been attending another daycare with drop-in care outside of the cities, which was going alright aside from the distance away from work/home. However, when I called them on this last Monday, they were unable to get him in, and weren't sure if they were staffed enough to get him in any time soon, and couldn't give me any answers as to when they would be able to. Meanwhile, this is two months after I have fully registered him, and he has been there for a few weeks and started to get comfortable. So there I was, without childcare, and frantic. I called KinderCare late that Monday afternoon, after reading about them online, I spoke with Kayla on the phone and she was extremely helpful, put me at ease about everything, and was able to get my son in the next day and for the rest of the week with no problems, in their Discovery Preschool area. They made it very easy to get him in on such short notice, and I felt extremely comfortable with my son going there. He enjoyed his time there, and the staff kept me very informed and welcomed to all of the goings-on while my son was in their care. I would recommend their drop-in care to anyone I know who is in need of childcare at a short notice. They made my entire week better. And I will now be sending my son there on a more regular basis.

They have a safe and secure process in the morning for entering camp outside the facility. What really sets this apart is the variety of activities they have for kids of all ages.

We will definitely bring them back once they reopen. So glad we found this place!

He couldn't sleep that night because he was too excited to get back to camp. Haha! Every single day he had things to share with us and he said he had the best day. He learned a lot of new things and had many options everyday of what he could do. We were in Mpls for only two weeks this summer and he was really sad when he was having his last day. We'll sign him up again this summer if we can make it work to visit again. We're definitely going to make it a yearly thing.
