When we arrived in Truro for our vacation, we looked through a flier for the Truro Center for the…read moreArts at Castle Hill and realized that they had scheduled some fantastic events that we could sign up for on their website. In addition to events they have all kinds of classes as well as yoga sessions available. This evening we went to a fascinating lecture presented by Mark Bittman and Doc Willoughby. Doc Willougby , who is also a good writer, interviewed Mark Bittman about his new book: Animal, Vegetable,Junk: A History of Food from Sustainable to Suicidal. The Truro Center sent us emails urging people to carpool since they were expecting a huge crowd snd Prior to the event, had the opportunity to speak with Susan Kai Schwartz , the Program Manager, who assured me that if I arrived thirty minutes early, I'd be able to find parking. When we arrived, the first person we met was Bruce Player, the Program Coordinator. Bruce greeted us like we were old friends, even though we had never met! He urged us to take our lawn chairs and find a good place to sit for the lecture and when I asked, don't you want to see my ticket?, Bruce assured me he'd find us but was more interested in our comfort. My wife and I were impressed with everything we experienced at the center. They served refreshments that were reasonably priced and while I had promised myself I wouldn't buy another book, Mark Bittman's talk was so stimulating and delightful, I felt we needed to read it immediately! The other wonderful aspect of the evening is that we didn't get one mosquito bite! They had a special machine that kept the mosquitoes away. The center also had beautiful restrooms inside their buildings. I strongly urge you to check out their website and make and plan to visit the Truro Center for the Arts when you are vacationing on the Cape.

As someone without a great deal of artist talent Catherine's warm and encouraging style allowed me to feel comfortable exploring and creating. Some of the other students in the class were very talented artists.

I highly recommend trying one of her classes no matter what your level of experience or talent.

No matter what level your child is at, Miss Leanna and Miss Beth ensure your children are prepared for kindergarten and beyond! I'm so happy with the care my children received here and highly recommend Little Learners to anyone looking for an enriched learning experience for their children. An added bonus is how well the teachers keep the parents involved in their kids day to day at school with frequent photos and videos along with messages that are always answered in a timely manner. I would give 100 stars if we were given the option.

Watching the teachers with each student is really inspiring- they treat every child with respect and kindness. We already have our next kid on the waitlist for when they can attend, and would recommend Little Learners to anyone.
