They explain each step with you, and are very patient and supportive. Everything you need to create your own art is provided. Our pieces were fired and returned very quickly. I chose pottery, but next time am excited to try a canvas painting. Great for all ages!

My daughter has taken weekly piano lessons with Danielle for several years now and plays the piano…read moreabsolutely beautifully. Danielle has her teaching style down to a "T" because every recital I've been too has little musicians who truly enjoy playing and don't see it as chore. I think that is extremely telling of her ability as a teacher to encourage, motivate, and challenge her students. Studio is part of a historic building in downtown Gainesville and renders itself to a more cozy feeling which is not intimidating for the beginner and warm and inviting for the more experienced. All ages of music students are welcome!

We love the instructors and my daughter feels very loyal to the school and staff. The instructors are knowledgeable and warm and truly want your child to do their best. Their waiting room is also lovely, with cozy couches and a Keurig machine so families who are waiting for their children in lessons have a comfortable place to chill out.

Parents!! Be careful of the environment your child is in. I've waited to write this to make sure…read moreit's actually true. LEADERSHIP AND ENVIRONMENT MATTER! We were with this daycare for almost a decade. First with my son who went through with no problems. This place was great. Mrs. Kelly was awesome, btw. Then, they had a change in leadership while my daughter was coming up with them. Let's just say Mrs. J took over. Little problems here and there, no biggie. She's 3. She turned 4 and moved up to, let just call her Miss. R's class. Super rude lady to me and other parents, teachers, etc. Then, problem after problem and a quick decline with my 4yr old daughter's "attitude". Literally, every day it was something she did. We just wondered, what's it gonna be today. We know that wasn't our daughter. When you know your kid, you know your kid. Off the wall things, too, that she obviously learned in that class. Lies from Miss R. Like they promote it and look for it, let it happen, then shame and discipline. My concern was raised with her teacher, Miss R after a situation of shaming, they even took pictures of her (4 year old) being shamed and sent it to us, that was one of many issues with Miss R. My child even got to where she didn't want to go, hated being left there. We got her in OT (occupational therapy) to try and help but she kept declining here. Needless to say, they gave up on my child as we were just getting the process started in helping her, because it's easier for them, after we were doing everything we could on our end but they fell short on theirs. We were "released" from all of their white oaks. We got her into another daycare that actually cares about guidance and teaching the kids and let me tell you, it's been a NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE with our child. She's been at her new place for over a month now and not ONE bad day. NOT ONE!!! My child is so happy and she actually wants to go there now. She's actually won "best kid" already and we keep being reassured they can't believe her past, she's so good!!! It just goes to show that LEADERSHIP and ENVIRONMENT matter!! I got to experience it first hand. Getting my child out of white oak was the best thing that ever happened for us and especially, my girl!

I had my child here for 6 months, she was in the infant room. When i would drop her off, the…read moreteachers would not talk to me and just rude! i had many problems in just 6 months, i came to pick her up one day and she was sleeping with a bib over her face!!! that was the first time i ever thought maybe this wasnt a safe place for my child!! Another time i came to pick her up and she was screaming in her crib as i walked in i could hear her screaming, once i got into the class room i saw the teacher and the main director on there phones, i walked over to my baby just to see her foot was stuck in her crib!!!!!!!!! my last straw was when i saw a teacher grab her by her arms to get her out of the jumper. Me and my husband went to the director to explain why were were pulling our daughter out, when my husband was KINDLY explaining that we have seen this teacher do the same thing or worse to other children, the director replied to my husband and said "do you work here?" so me and my husband left and we will never return back to white oak! we loved the owner and Jennifer K, but will never put our child back into white oak

My experience at Brenau University has altered my view on affirmative action, after I taught…read moreeconomics and business courses there for fourteen years. When a new lead economics professor was appointed, seemingly on affirmative action grounds, my course quality dropped drastically: our outdated textbook was not even reviewed, let alone changed, in over five years, while solid proposals for course improvements fell on deaf ears and blind eyes. Finally, I was tasked to submit faked Learning Outcome scores in so-called Global Awareness, which I refused to do, instead submitting a new rubric on Global Knowledge and Competence, which was ignored by that same lead professor -- instead, I lost my long-term teaching post after many years of excellent evaluations. When I appealed these decisions to our new "affirmative action" Dean of Business, there were more deaf ears and blind eyes, WHILE MY BRENAU EMAIL WAS CLOSED PRECIPITOUSLY W/O NOTICE! In this instance, apparent affirmative action led not only to the decline of my course -- a disservice to higher education -- but also led to a disservice to the lead professor and the new Dean, who may have achieved their roles on grounds other than their qualifications and abilities. Those disservices are truly shameful, and indeed insulting to those who are alleged to benefit!
