Mesquite Aviation is a really great place to learn to fly. I've been up several times with Steve…read moreGlasscock, one of the instructors there. He really knows what he's doing and he makes it easy to learn and understand what you're doing and why. He isn't scary or uptight like some of the instructors I've flown with at other schools. They have a nice little setup with multiple planes, both high wing (Cessna) and low wing (Cherokee). The office is a little small, but I'm told their main office is being renovated. The classroom actually has a nice feel to it though because your up close with your instructor and you can really grasp the materials/ask questions if needed. I love flying here, can't wait for all this weather to be gone so I can go up again!

Okay, if you want to get your pilot's license or perhaps an advanced license and live in Dallas or…read moresurrounding areas, this is your place. Super friendly instructors. Reasonably priced. Great on-line scheduling system makes it very easy to get on the calendar at YOUR convenience. Chip and his team are tops in this market. Plus, they've added an on-site mechanic who can now attend to your plane's every need. Can't say enough about these guys. All the instructors are tops. Josh is great - very patient with rusty pilots, but also keeps you to task so that you can achieve your goals. Try them out if you're thinking about getting your license or just looking to gain some IFR instruction or getting your CFI or CFII, ATP or whatever. Believe they also do tail-dragger training as well.

There are so many good things that I could write about ITP, but if I were to sum it up; it all…read morecomes down to the incredible people that work there. Between Ms. Emma working the schedule, all the amazing flight instructors that prioritize learning, and the owner, Sherman, making sure all operations run smoothly and safely, you will be taken care of if you choose to fly with this flight school. I honestly cannot write enough praise to express how grateful I am that I was able to fly here. To give some context to my experience, I approached the team at ITP with a challenge to help me finish my private pilot license within a month. I had previous flight experience and had already accomplished my first solo, however, it had been a few years since then. I needed all the applicable training to get back to where I could solo, get all the required cross country time, and the proper aeronautical experience to finally have a checkride. After hearing this, Sherman and Emma booked time slots for the rest of the month and set me up with my CFI, Steffen. Although the weather took out a full week's worth of training, I was able to check during the month timeframe and, most importantly, I got my license accomplished UNDER BUDGET! This is the best flight school that I have ever flown with and if you choose to fly with ITP you will not be disappointed!

We've homeschooled our son since he was 2 so we were very particular about where he goes whenever my wife has to work from the office. Well I visited the place and I absolutely loved it. My son officially now has community of little starseeds. Our host Emani also comes from a homeschool background so she could really relate to our questions and concerns. She's absolutely amazing and so is the entire staff from the administration to the classroom. They do an outstanding job with the kids and we couldn't be happier; especially our son which is the most important part. Thank you again!

Cathy Sullivan's Acting School is a lot like any other type of school -- you get out of it what you…read moreput into it. If you think you'll magically become an amazing actor by taking 1-2 classes here, you're probably barking up the wrong tree. While primarily a school for young actors, they also have adult classes. Owner Cathy understands that acting development is a progression of maturity, intelligence, confidence, listening skills, and passion -- and she has structured her classes in a way that develops these abilities over time, especially if the actor is putting in the work. Unlike some acting coaches, Cathy focuses on the specific skills needed to start landing professional jobs. Her top students and assistants ARE working actors in Hollywood. The proof is in the pudding. An entire class devoted to being frightened? Seems odd to a newcomer. But when 1/4 of your child's auditions ask them to demonstrate fear, you realize that she's actually preparing them for professional opportunities. While she doesn't teach every class, she's always accessible and her assistant instructors are amazing. My kid's 'fear class' was taught by a skilled older teenager who demonstrated a scene by entering a room and seeing a monster and throwing himself against the wall in fear while shrieking with panic. Over and over again. Each time more frightening and realistic than the last. I was simply amazed at the level of commitment and passion being demonstrated by a young man of this age. I asked him what his name was because I wanted to know who I was watching. Two years later, Jaren Lewison is the star of 'Never Have I Ever' on Netflix. Cathy also has a great eye for talent. She selects only the best to teach at her school and is quick to recognize a rising talent. When she told me that my child wasn't ready to begin auditioning for major roles, I didn't believe her but she was RIGHT. While commercial, modeling and small supporting acting jobs may go to the kid with the right look, major roles will almost always go to a highly skilled actor -- and that is something that comes with education, practice and time. Classes run about $350-$400 for 12-16 hours of training. It may sound expensive but when I considered that I was spending $350/month for my kid's FC Dallas soccer training and he had zero chance of ever playing professional soccer, it made me realize that this was a much better investment. Plus, the skills that acting class develops -- public speaking, reading, confidence, handling criticism -- are all life skills that will pay dividends regardless of whether your child ever becomes a star. My child has been a student here for three years and has landed several professional (paying) acting jobs. She looks forward to classes and loves her teachers and Cathy. What more can you ask for?

We've only had great experiences here! Yes, beginning classes have a lot of students (Even advanced…read moreclasses have about 15 kids) but it's up to your child to learn & pay attention. My daughter isn't the best at this in regular school but because she loves acting, she has learned a lot & each class has helped her improve. She always learns a few things in every class, there's never been a class she didn't like! The teachers & aides are great and know how to develop the kids talents. Kim Dawson & Campbell are the big agencies that come to "seminars" (held a few times a year) to scout out new talent. Seminars are when LA casting directors, producers, and other important people in the industry come in & give constructive feedback to your kids skit they do in front of them. The classes are reasonably priced for what your kid gets out of them & the exposure in the seminars is what is going to get your kid to the next level. But your child has to want it & work for it. Don't expect your kid to get an agent or a movie role just because they show up. You get out of it what you put into it!

We had some bad experiences elsewhere and were…read moreconsidering just keep her home with a part-time nanny until I had the chance to tour this school. My daughter is 15 months old and in the young toddler class. Brandy (the director) gave me a tour and I was so impressed by the schedule they had in place for toddlers and the safety measures they take to keep sickness to a minimum there! The school is safe. You have to be buzzed in. The outdoor area has good security as well. Nora's teachers are so sweet. I went through a struggle when we were at our other center worrying about her everyday. I don't have to worry about her here which allows me to be much more effective at work. I know when we drop her off here she's safe and in good hands. Nora is so excited to see her teachers everyday and has really thrived on their schedule. She claps when we pull in the parking lot. She has learned a lot and you can tell she's engaged throughout the day. She gets her work sent home with pictures at the end of every week. It's so nice seeing all of her art work and activities. She's so proud of her work! If you're looking for a new center, I highly recommend giving them a tour! Justine and the front desk staff are always nice and accommodating with all questions. We are so grateful we found a good place for Nora to land!

Highly recommended if you're looking for childcare or after school care!

The preschool and pre-K years were a struggle for my daughter at schools that were not set up for kiddos whose brains work differently. We worried that a school where she could be supported, listened to, and loved for who she is did not exist... until we found Vanguard. From the moment she stepped on the campus to visit, my daughter has felt at home. Her classes are small and taught by excellent professionals who lead with love and kindness at every turn. She receives individual attention when she needs it, as well as valuable, daily feedback that has helped her with her behavioral challenges, building friendships, and creating a solid academic background for the future. She and her peers learn how to love and accept themselves and their peers for who they are, even as they work to meet their daily challenges. In addition, the school encourages continual communication with families. If a problem crops up, we hear about it immediately from her teacher and we work together to figure out a solution. Parents are also encouraged to escalate concerns to school administration ASAP so that solutions can be collaboratively constructed. But at the core of everything, we have seen results: it's no longer a struggle to convince our daughter to go to school, she loves her teachers and her peers, she takes pride in her schoolwork, and her confidence has grown with each passing year. We absolutely love Vanguard and the innovative, loving, and dedicated people who work here.

She makes sure to treat each child as if they are special, and my child has been no exception. I admire her for such attention to detail, her open communication about the children to the parents, her professionalism, and her nurturing, caring spirit. She treats the kids as if they are her own. The way the children are cared for and learn is very important to her. She is always willing to lend her expertise to the teachers and always looking for ways to improve the program. She is always willing and able to listen--and it's genuine. The way she greets each and every parent and child by name and with a smile each and everyday shows how she takes the time to get to know them. Mrs. Magee represents the school well. Parents who want their children in the best of hands when they are away appreciate her. I look forward to value-added and the positive impact that Mrs. Magee will have on the school when she evolves into other roles. Mrs. B, the Director, has made a huge difference in school since her arrival. The teachers' morale has increased tremendously and turn-over has stopped. She is very personable and always positive and professional. She aims for improvement. She takes the time to listen to parent's concerns, and that is very important. Mrs. Harrell

Since the management change two months ago, this facility has unfortunately gone downhill. My…read more2-year-old has come home with more unexplained injuries in the last few weeks than in our entire two years here. These wounds are often not treated properly, and there have been multiple times where no incident report was filed -- and neither my husband nor I were informed by staff. The assistant director, Vanessa Ortiz, has extremely poor communication skills. It often takes more than a full school day to get a response to emails about serious issues like injuries. When we've tried to address concerns in person, we're met with excuses, not answers -- and certainly no sense of urgency. Also, if you have an issue and ask for the teacher's names (since we don't know their names due to so much turn over), don't expect to get them without the director reaching higher above her and then telling you to reach out to the area or regional director :) Shockingly, some teachers have even stepped in during conversations with other staff and *yelled* at us while trying to defend one another. The stories we're told rarely add up, and it feels like there's a serious lack of transparency and accountability. Supervision in the classrooms is clearly lacking, and poor communication seems to be used as a cover-up rather than a fix. There has also been an alarming amount of turnover among staff and students in just the last two months alone. That said, I want to give a huge shoutout to Mrs. Margie, Mrs. Wanda, and Ms. Jasmine. These amazing ladies are the only reason we're waiting until summer to pull our son. We truly appreciate the love and care you show our baby -- thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
