They know her inside and out, and I have never doubted her safety or care, which as a mom, you definitely want to make sure of. Each day is engaging and full of learning, starting all the way from infant one. I'm so thankful that tuition includes diapers and food. It's one less thing on my mental load. Specifically Lily, Erin, and Emily have been key in my daughter's growth and I am so thankful.

The fact that they attract college students who are working through their early education degrees shows that their culture and education model are working. Some of them have even gone on to be employed in the same school district, meaning their impact on this community continues to grow and shine. One of my kids even had a former staff member as their teacher when that person entered their 1st year of teaching! Talk about an easy transition for both of them! We've been with them for 7 years now and will be sad to say goodbye when our kids finally age out. Keep up the great work, team!

Eventually we went to the counter and there was a young woman, maybe a teenager, ducked on the counter on her phone and eating hard boiled eggs, she told us to wait, so she got off her phone and called someone else from the back to come do the register. It seems that this place has always had trouble keeping their volunteers. They do have some good items and very good prices.

I went with a decent size group and each one of us interpreted the painting that we had chosen a little differently. The instructor was our "guide" but not a strict coach which allowed all of us to use our creativity and make it our own. I enjoyed that the $35 price comes with all the essentials needed AND you get to take home your art. **This location also partners with a Yoga class. It's a shared space with multiple uses** One downfall I will say about this is, there are NO signs for telling you where Happy Our Art is. It was dark and rainy when we went and were only able to find the place because one of the ladies going the event had already arrived. We were guided by "Look for the sign that says Unwinding". I would certainly do this again! The class was fun, the instructor was friendly, and the space was perfect for a medium sized group.

The instructor was very nice and guided us through the art piece and helped the beginners that had several questions. Happy Our Art is beautifully decorated. The art pieces are hanging with different designs for maybe the next piece you make. The website gives a calendar of the different pieces so you can know ahead of time. (Perfect for people like me that can choose ahead of time and go if they are doing something that I find cool.) Again, as mentioned, the staff was very helpful and responded quickly to email and any questions we had before our work event. The only concern I have is the location. It is really hard to find. Go on Main Street. Turn onto 9th Street and off 9th Street turn left onto Holiday Terrace. Look for Unwindings sign and it is in the basement of Unwindings. Overall: I will give them 4 stars. The cost is a little high but it is a fun event and could be good for date night or work events. The location is hard to find but now that I know. Next time I go, I won't get lost!

Outfront also has trainings for companies that want to be recognized as a safe place to work. These trainings focus on Diversity and Inclusion within the work place. Thursdays they give youth a place to be for the time in between school and going home to help keep them from being out and about on the streets. They have hosted book clubs for those of Queer Women and choose a variety of books that range from people of color to ways to help you identify who you are as a person. During the summer months, they put on pot lucks for all of the different groups they support. They had individual ones strictly for people of color, queer women, and transgender identifying persons! Any way you look at it, Outfront allows you to be you and will support you with resources and friendship!
