There are anywhere from 3-5 girls, and she is keeps them moving. She has so much patience, and her energy and smile makes any little one comfortable.

It's been almost two hours and I'm still all aflutter over the sewing class I took at Sew Fabulous…read more The class and instructor were SEW AWESOME! Heather was fun and super knowledgeable and has such a great attitude. She makes everyone feel so comfortable, like we're all old friends. I blew right through all my childhood sewing machine issues and am proud to say I am now fairly adept at threading the bobbin and machine, a task that reduced me to hysterical tears when I was 12 when I promised the lady I babysat for to sew a bunch of padded frames for her business; she gave me her sewing machine but there were no instructions and no Internet. I slowly devolved into an angst-based shame spiral that consumed my every waking thought before tearfully admitting defeat months later. This was seriously the most fun I have had in a long time. Everything about it--the cheerful open space, Heather's teaching style (awesome), the fun little project to get our feet wet--was perfect. It's taking everything in me not to call in sick tomorrow and stay home and sew! Take these classes! You'll love them.

When I was 10, I used my mother's sewing machine without permission. The resulting tangle took her…read morenearly 5 months to fix. I was henceforth banned from touching the machine, and my impressionable little self took that to heart. I do not use sewing machines because I still believe--20 years later--in my deadly touch. For Christmas in 2014, I asked for a sewing lesson with Heather. We'd met at a street festival when she was manning a booth with her beautiful hand-sewn products, and she told me all about her classes. The prices are reasonable for a group class, and I thought this would be a good start to move from being banned from touching a sewing machine to actually using one. A family member gave me a gift certificate for Sew Fabulous, and off we went! I called ahead and told Heather about the sewing machine I'd be bringing to class. She asked a few questions about the model and assured me that she could teach me to use that one. The class was fun, but I personally had some issues. Despite assuring me that she could teach me to use the machine I brought, Heather actually couldn't. She had no idea how to make basic things go on this machine. If she'd told me that she had no idea, I would have done the class on one of her demo machines instead of hauling a sewing machine across town. Instead, I spent most of the class trying to trouble-shoot things myself and just being frustrated. I don't feel like I learned a lot from this class because of the struggles with the machine. Were I to do it again, I'd use one of her demo machines until I felt like I had the skills to make things go on any machine. But I would take more classes with Heather, if that says anything. (The machine I brought is a particular type of Pfaff that's modern but intended to be very manual. It's not one of the heavily computerized models that most sewers favor these days. This one is adjustable to the max, but adjustments require knowledge of the proper settings for each knob. In other words, it's a very particular machine. But as I type this, I am sitting in a room with both the sewing machine and multiple items that were sewn on that machine including some lovely curtains and a duvet cover. So. It does work.) Accessibility notes: several steps up into shop. No lift or ramp. No Braille signage.

Especially if your kid has to pay for that mess. My baby always talking about the lunch she just can't seem to describe. Her answer is always it looked like some white stuff or I do not know lol. That is not right and the teachers are always getting food from outside of the school. Every time you pull up for lunch there is a staff members car full of plates for lunch. This is hilarious and sad all together. Mr. D please fix the problem.

It's more of a pool tub, and the pool size is only for babies, I wouldn't recommend children over 3.5-4 years of age. You can't do laps, as it's really meant to introduce babies to the water.

The services are advertised as group/semi-private lessons with 1-3 students, which was not our…read moreexperience. All classes but one had 5 children with one instructor for a 30 minute session. The location at the swim club was nice, but not guaranteed. The alternate location was a private home and pool appeared cloudy and dirty. Of 8 classes, THEY cancelled 5 of them. When I went to schedule make-ups, there was no availability online and no communication about when more classes would become available. We only managed to secure one through the portal. When I communicated this to them, they stuck us into another large group, and assured me they would check their availability about the remaining two sessions and get back to me but two weeks later, had still not followed through. When I got tired of waiting, I requested a refund. The instructor denied these things though they are clearly demonstrable in the text thread and my screenshots. Then she lied about the type of classes we signed up for and refused to answer pointed questions about their billing practices. Bottom line: This business misrepresents the services they offer and there's no accountability when issues arise. The quality of instruction was poor due to heavy student/instructor ratio and limited time. Cancellations were frequent and their make-up process is abysmal. Their communication is lacking and their customer service is non-existent.

No after school care without a copy of school schedule or employment verification! Most schools allow you to go to after care if your parent is late getting you not Saint Benedict they actually sit your child in an office until they're picked up when there's an after school program that they should be allowed to go! What if you no longer have a car and are depending on relatives to pick your child up that's still not a good enough reason for after school care! What if your child's van service can't pick them up until 4pm still not a good enough reason to need after care! But if you're unemployed and can spend time volunteering and can pick up your child daily at 3 go for it! The teachers are great though!
