It's a small class of about 13 kids. The instructor is very high energy, like she was not only in plays in school, but also a cheerleader. The teacher would set up a story and then show the kids how to use their body language and voices in that stories setting. She kept it very fun, lighthearted, and entertaining for everyone. For example she would say something like; how do you react if you walked in the kitchen and saw the pet dog had made a mess with the trash which is now all over the floor. And they would reply back some like like, "Oh no!" And the teach would have them verbally say it very loud, and use their hands, arms, and body movement to also express that type of emotion from the kids. I think the classes are about 3 times per week, and about 1 hour each session, and they are held normally about 4pm or 5pm. The teacher also has another adult assistant there to help the kids learn the art of acting. The teacher also has the parents get involved and assist their kids was needed. So the whole family has a fun, silly time learning drama. Part of the class the parents are not needed, so most of them go next door to the bar and eat some snacks or get a drink while they're waiting on the class to end. This seems like a very nice class for young kids to take.

When you walk in you're greeted by name. Victoria is always available to address any questions or concerns that may arise. My daughter has had several teachers over the years depending on which classes she took and the staff is amazing! Each take the time to help the children individually and push them at their performance level. Even after a move to Tampa several years ago, I still make the weekly drive to allow my daughter to stay at Victoria's! To respond to the previous person: As with everything, there are reasons behind it. Having been a backstage mom for several years, I can tell you it is impossible to memorize hundreds of students, their parents, and their custody arrangements. They dismiss after the recital by song, with police escort. Only those having a matching wristband to their child is able to pick up the child. The children love being backstage, and it isn't as stressful on the children as it is the parents. The recital process is thoroughly explained when you choose whether or not to participate. It is not mandatory. As far as the fees go: in any extra-curricular activity, there are fees and extras needed aside from program fees. We love it there!

As a teacher up until last week (I gave my 2 weeks but was fired 4 days before my last day w no…read morenotice) the positives is it's a nice interior/exterior are clean for the most part. The teachers are absolutely wonderful, but get no back up from the administration or Owner when they express concerns, they are not "heard", "respected" nor "appreciated". These were my main complaints that led me leaving. From Feb. 3rd until the 14th I had expressed concerns on one of my toddlers not acting normal since a push from another student and he hit his face head first on the tile. When I would ask for someone to come check on him it would be forgotten for hours. I even went to the Owner with my concerns to be told that "it's a process." Finally on 2/14 after I had given notice the child had a seizure (he is 1 1/2 years old) and my assistant teacher called the owner and I text the director that his eyes rolled back and instead of calling 911 they came to my room to see that I took it upon myself to call 911 and was on the phone w them until they arrived. The child had a second seizure while the owner was in there and she did nothing, I held his head until he came to. I expressed my concerns on the child w the bad pushing habit because I had 3 non walkers and nothing was done. I told them he was going to hurt someone bad, and he did. This center is all about about image, money and appearance on the outside, when push comes to shove it's the teachers that are the glue. I expressed my concerns that if the safety issues and respect issues were corrected I would stay as I was there for the kids, I truly love them and wasn't there for a paycheck. (which by the way their tuition was through the roof and their pay for teachers and lead teachers is $10/hour) I wanted to go to work to experience these babies firsts words, walking, etc. I would go in at 6:30am and was suppose to get off at 3pm but never did. It was assumed I would stay until we were in ratio which would always be a couple hours later. This is why the children get attached to teachers and then the teachers leave. People that need the money can't afford to make $10/hr and when you have an owner calling to your room from sitting in her office watching cameras about where a teacher sits or how they clean (instead of waiting to see) is mind blowing for the pay. For instance same day I called 911 on the child having the seizure a couple hours passed and my director came in to tell me the owner said my counter needed to be cleaned off which we had already cleaned by that time. mind you we had just done a craft w glue and set them on the counter to dry literally a minute before the child seized and lunch also came during this time which my assistant was passing out the food while I was focused on the child and out of the owner coming to my room that's all she could worry about was that my counter was messy. This was a traumatic event for myself and assistant to try and keep our composure and that is what her take of the day is. Again, the teachers are excellent and try to do the best for the children, but when they have no one supporting them it's honestly just not worth it to stay. Also,, as looking through these reviews half are from employees..... so they are not accurate and it's how the rating has stayed higher than it should.
