Hello to all parents and caregivers. :-) As a mother for 23 years, former teacher and a person with…read morean extensive ECE educational background, degrees in Social Psychology and Social Science as well as finishing my Masters in Clinical Psychology, I found myself needing temporary care for my daughter during the current Summer months while she is out of school from RSA and with my hectic schedule. Having come from such a warm, loving, and attentive after-school program, I fear we may have been spoiled and enjoyed the luxuries of a quality after school program at RSA that we unfortunately are unable to recommend at this time anyone enroll their child in Heather Ridge if they want to continue the tradition of excellence that is always expected. Heather Ridge has some fine teachers, no doubt about it however, their hands are tied as to how they are allowed to encourage or respond to unruly, misguided, and undisciplined children who act and behave inappropriately and have not had the best opportunities to perhaps learn some coping skills with the full knowledge of the director and their rules and regulations. My daughter has only been in attendance for less than two weeks, and already, licensing had been called and on premise for issues beyond the children's and parent's control. My 8-year old daughter has been systematically allowed to be terrorized by a 'student' who has been in attendance at Heather Ridge for many years, admittedly by the director. We had attempted to express our concerns with how their procedures and policies work however, we were met with opposition from the assistant director, Krystin with unapologetic excuses and adamant denial coupled with a meeting to work together to resolve the issue and move forward with a positive goal in mind never coming to fruition. I was also hoping to address the fact that she told my daughter while I was not present that the reason the boy picked on her so much was because 'he liked 'her.' Personally, as a family unit and a long-time parent and former teacher, this type of excuse sets the bar for young girls to believe that it is okay for boys to harass and accost them merely because they like them. This is a serious recipe for girls to grow up thinking it's okay and if, in fact, find themselves in abusive relationships later down the line the notion that it's okay for a man to abuse them because it means 'they like/love them." Please note that this facility partners with SCOE, so you will find that there are recommendations made that may not be the best fit however are 'financially feasible'. I think the previous reviews stand by themselves with regard to this facility, and anyone considering Heather Ridge should look to the reviews to ascertain whether or not it's worth the drama, degradation and safety to enroll your child in this program or make the effort and financial decision to find somewhere else to enroll your child which have more than stellar reviews. It's so easy to write a mission statement including but not limited to "Our goal is to allow children to have hands-on learning experiences that foster age appropriate development" and not keep that promise! How easy it is to write that but not keep that commitment? Here is hoping that this center can find the time to work together with us to solve our issues and meet the safety, security and happiness needs of my daughter as well as the other children in attendance. If it is happening to one, it's happening to others. Recognize that, even if it is only one parent that is willing to speak up and be her child's advocate! Excited to see some form of thoughtful and productive communication for the sake of all children in attendance in the near future! Looking forward to an updated review with positive results! UPDATE: This school's resolution to our issues: After writing a one-star Yelp review, we were given a 2-week notice to leave and accusations laid out that my daughter might have contributed to the issue. LOL. Seems they have no interest in creating a caring and positive environment for all but would rather eliminate any potential desire to correct irresponsible behavior by both students and staff.

I just completed my CCW course with John Lewis at NFI, and I can honestly say he was one of the…read morebest instructors I've ever had. John breaks everything down in a way that's clear, practical, and easy to understand--whether you're brand new or already experienced. He doesn't just teach the material, he makes sure you actually get it, especially when it comes to safety, responsibility, and real-world application. What stood out the most was his professionalism and the way he kept the class engaged the entire time. No fluff, no wasted time--just solid, valuable instruction that prepares you for both the test and real-life situations. If you're considering getting your CCW, I highly recommend taking the course with John and NFI. You'll walk away confident, informed, and better prepared. 5 stars all the way.

I've recently…read morebeen confined to a wheelchair and wouldn't you know, it was during the time for me to renew my CCW. NFI has the classroom portion of the training available on ZOOM and I was able to utilize that program. The ZOOM call process was simple and the teaching right on par with the in person classes I've taken in previous years. The next day was the live fire range day and I was concerned about traversing the grounds at the gun club where this training was held. My concerns were for nought as staff was very helpful in ensuring that I could access my shooting lane and helped by making a couple of trips back to my vehicle to ensure I had all of my necessary equipment. I specifically had Emily as the range instructor and her techniques and directions were exceptional, not to mention her one-to-one assistance was greatly appreciated. As mentioned earlier, I've used NFI for many years and I expect that to continue. If you have CCW certification needs, I can highly recommend NFI.
