After a 6 year hiatus from ballet, I am back and I couldn't be happier. This studio is amazing. I…read morewas pretty nervous to go to my first class because I know I am very rusty. Mallory is a down to earth, welcoming, nice, and great ballet teacher. She paces the adult ballet class just right and tailors the class to her students' needs. I feel at home and comfortable asking questions and I look forward to my class each and every week now. It's been a bright spot in this depressing COVID time. The studio is doing a great job rotating dancers in pods, having 4 students come into the studio one week and then the other students joining via Zoom. I am very happy here and feel hopeful that I will see improvement with Mallory's great guidance. I haven't had this much fun in a while. I highly recommend adults to come back to ballet or start if you've never tried it.

I was nervous about to bring my kiddo to this school, but I was not disappointed. The instructors…read moreare incredible, professional, and actually appear that they enjoy working with the kids. Especially the younger ones. Their dance recital they put so much work into and the little kids have a big part of the show! I was not upset at all about buying the tickets because it was a good show that my daughter got to be a part of. The older dancers made it fun for the kids, and they took the kids dynamic personalities in stride on stage. The world didn't end over messed up make up or the fact the kids messed up which made me happy as a parent. I am not sure if this school prepares the ones for professional dancing, but who really does that anyway? It's a good quality school and fantastic for the price. The only downside is the parking is horrendous and impossible to find any parking since it is on the street. And if you have a low riding car, forget it. If you want to have a parking spot you better be 10 mins early.

We loved the staff, curriculum, and that our son always came home with something he had learned or created that day with a daily sheet of activities, food, etc. Each room has at least 1 long term staff member with a few that come and go being that it's a large military community which is expected. The director Renee is great as well with communication, dedication to the program, and I always saw her helping out all levels when I randomly stopped by or at pick ups. Even though my son has now started Kindergarten he frequently asks to visit his previous teachers. I'm so happy our son was able to attend M&M!

First red flag: Parents are basically exiled from the classroom. You are not allowed to enter the…read moreclassroom during drop offs/pick ups. Even if it's cold and pouring rain outside. In my child's previous schools, there was ALWAYS an open door and parents had an invite to come in and lead an activity or read a book basically whenever they wanted. You get one night every couple of months where only one parent allowed to come in after hours and see the classroom and learn about what your child is working on. Second red flag: Whenever I would come to pick up my child, the (very young) teachers were huddled together talking and planning their weekends together, periodically stopping to yell at the children from across the room or play ground, and then back to talking about the sushi they were gonna eat. Third red flag: It appears that they only hire very young people. When you pay a large monthly tuition, you expect teachers with some sort of experience of formal education. Only the head teachers are trained in Montessori and the assistant teachers are not. Fourth red flag: they charge out the butt for tuition yet teachers are not paid competitive wages. They are constantly cycling through different teachers, assuming because they aren't paying well enough. It seemed like every week I saw a new teacher there. Lastly, from talking with other parents, they had a 4 year old who was going rampant with biting. Their child was coming home with bites every single day. They showed me pictures and these were BAD bite marks, breaking skin and bruising:

Paying out of pocket for school. Was told by Olympic College Records and Registration employee that…read moreI have to pay for parking. According to Security staff at Olympic College, I did not have to pay for parking. Parking is free in the summer. I was charged anyway for parking by the cashier while paying out of pocket for my classes. The Accuplacer Placement Exam is to see if I should take a certain Math course for Medical Assisting. The office where you could ask questions about the exam, closed at 1130am the day I was told to sign up for the test. I went online to sign up for the test and found out the fee was 25 dollars. Another out of pocket expense. Since the office was closed that handles the exam was closed: i put my credit card in the system and paid the 25 dollars. Unbeknownst to me, and because the office was closed, I did not know that the 25 dollars was not refundable. When I checked my calendar at home, I found out I had doctor appointments when the exam was to be taken. I immediately called the testing center at Olympic College to try and get a refund. No one answered the phone and of course no one was in the office. On the website for the 25-dollar Accuplacer test , there was not a warning that I would not get a refund if I canceled the test. The warning came after you had given the 25 dollar payment. I was shocked that an institution would not warn students beforehand. Becoming a Medical Assistant was my next goal after CNA program. When I talked to an employee who helped run the program, she told me that my previous courses taken at Olympic College would carry over to getting me a Medical Assistant certificate. When I met with the supervisor who was in charge of the program, her response took a negative tone. The supervisor told me that I would have to pay for all the classes over again. Being suspicious of her antics, I emailed the Dean of Olympic College. I got no response from the Dean. To me, this seems like a money grab. I am paying for my own college classes. I should not be paying to take the same classes over. Olympic College should ask the lawmakers to give them more money to stay open. Do not depend on students paying (out of pocket).
