It's not only because UC Davis is my alma mater that I'll say that the UC Davis Extension is an…read moreincredibly valuable resource & asset to the entire Northern California region. It's because of the short 2-day course I recently completed there. I love beer. So much so that I want to start making it myself. UC Davis Extension offers brewing courses ranging from beginner level all the way up to Master Brewer Certification. I took the Brewing Basics: Going Beyond the Kit course. Overall, it was excellent. The material covered was perfect for total beginners & those who have some home brewing experience. The instructors were extremely knowledgeable & delivered their information in an engaging manner. Class was held at Sudwerk with brewing demos done inside the operational brewery. Apparently, brewing courses aren't too common as there were other students who came from as far away as Texas & Ohio. Again, UC Davis Extension is an incredible resource & asset for Northern California. OK, enough review writing, it's time to make some beer!

I have benefitted from DACE in taking classes like Hapkido and Intro to Auto Shop, and especially from meeting new people, who are enthusiastic about learning. I have made friends, gotten fitter, and can identify things under the hood of my car. While it is certainly a fact that the website could use improvement, I would still recommend that you sign up and learn something new today.

This program is a mess now. After paying and registering, they might even cancel the class now…read more(after also changing the meeting times from what was published on the schedule). Just because there aren't enough students, we might have to pay more just to keep the class open, or meet less often. It doesn't make any sense. There are no emails, no updates, no phone calls, nothing. Everything just happens without notification. It's really frustrating that this is the only ESL program in Davis I'd rather just go to Woodland to the community college to get quality instruction. Hopefully we get out money back. (Review for the ESL class)

This review is for Randy Vaughan, who is a wonderful driving instructor! I have my license but it…read morehad been years since I last drove, so I purchased 5 refresher lessons with AP Driving School. Randy was patient, tailored lessons to the skills that I wanted to work on (e.g., parking, driving on freeways, etc.), and taught me great techniques for parallel parking and parking in parking lots. The two hour lessons flew by as we had good conversations and I became more accustomed to driving. I left feeling more confident in my driving thanks to Randy's instruction, and I would highly recommend him to new drivers or drivers who want to refresh their skills.

Leticia is incredibly meticulous and pays close attention to every detail. She explains everything clearly, makes sure you understand each concept, and teaches all the necessary driving skills professionally and patiently. She is also very friendly, caring, and supportive, which made every lesson comfortable and enjoyable. Her encouragement and constructive feedback helped me build confidence behind the wheel. I highly recommend Davis Academy Driving School and Leticia to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate driving instructor.

The Davis art center offers a variety of eclectic cultural arts classes. For instance the first…read morestudio to the left of the entrance is where three-dimensional art and ceramics class are held. Although I don't take 3-dim art classes here it looks like it would be rewarding to create beautiful mosaics from huge chunks of clay and chipped glass while listening to cool retro background music. There are dramatics classes who rehearse outside behind the stage for the "theatre in the park" productions. There are music classes, singing classes, and a variety of cultural dance classes. As an Added bonus... All DAC dance studio floors are solid tongue and groove wood. Did I mention that wood dance floors are almost nonexistent in Northern California? With that said its the floors that drew me to the Davis art center, as any respectable rhythm tapper would. As a community non profit organization taking classes at the DAC should not burn a hole in your octet book. Plus 1 star for that. Enrollment fees & tuition fees are nominal compared to a private studio plus you automatically become a member of the DAC after enrolling in a class. You should really check this place and take a class for fun. Go ahead and dust off that old Yamaha instrument in the back of your closet...you won't regret it. After all cultural arts classes give your mind an opportunity to create while making new friends from the community.

My first experience here was a dazzling evening of drumming with my dear friend Mamadu. This was…read moretruly a enriching and cultural gathering for all ages. I brought my Kambala djembe and jammed until the sun set. Djembe masters like Mamadu are rare these days and I was fortunate enough to have networked with him through the Sacramento drum circle rhythm community.

So sometimes they have meetings at this branch of the Yolo County Library in Davis. They have…read morecooking workshops, as well as some lectures (which are usually accompanied by a bite to eat) and field trips to a local Asian market- 99 Ranch in South Sac. Also available are lectures on tea and last night I sat through a presentation titled "Chinese Flavors--Dining in China: Etiquette and Beyond." Having grown up one half Chinese, some of the teachings of stereotypes of the Chinese were confirmations of what actually happens. For instance, the part of dining out when the bill comes was almost verbatim what comes out of the mouths where I've eaten. The lectures are informative enough that I'm going to continue to attend them. At one workshop I was taught about steamed bao, including the tasty parts where I assembled and ate them. I look forward to sitting in on a tea lecture, as that's been (and still is) a huge part of dining out. My grandparents have been desensitized to my American methods of eating Chinese food, but I learned that even though quite effective, one should not stab his/her food with chopsticks in order to obtain it. And resting your chopsticks on the plate is a no-no as well. They go where a fork would go, on a rest if available. Overall, I find these lectures to be more interesting than anything else because I learn a fair amount about why I've done what I've done for the last 36 years as well as some of the reasons behind those actions. Next up: tea.

We had our son at L'Academy for nearly two years…read more His one year-old care was exceptional, and the school facility itself is brand new and clean, with bright happy colors, and some wonderful people. The school looks very appealing. Unfortunately, there has been much turnover within the staff, to varying degrees of quality. Recent months have proved very concerning. There has been a lack of control surrounding gun-related content among the children, which I never thought could be an issue at a preschool. One child had very specific, graphic violent language (my initial review included a few of his phrases and was flagged by Yelp). This child told me he was making guns from legos, and said other deeply alarmingly violent things to other children, observed by staff. We and other parents expressed our concerns over this issue for months on end, and the staff hemmed and hawed and sat on their hands. Many meetings were offered, but there was no corrective action taken. We left because we wanted to protect our child from gun-related content, but there were other issues. Despite touting otherwise, there is no "curriculum", no learning goals established week to week or month to month. The plan seems to be to survive the day, understandably. We had hoped for more kindergarten preparation, and less "daycare" as our son got older and more capable. There also was not one, but two, separate instances of teachers posting pictures of students to their personal Instagram accounts, obviously without parental consent. This school looks super sweet, but optics deceived us, as there clearly is no global plan. Every childcare facility will have its issues, and there will always be other families and staff members with different values than you - but it's up to the school to ensure there is a safe learning environment, which this school failed at, in our experience.

I have absolutely nothing but positive things to say about this preschool/daycare! My search for…read morethe right place for my children was incredibly stressful like many parents, I'm very particular about who I trust with my kids. When I came across L'Academy, I called to ask a few questions, and they immediately offered to schedule a tour so I could see if it was the right fit for our family. The moment I walked in, I knew this was the place for us! My daughter started at L'Academy when she was just over a year old in the baby room. She had never been cared for by anyone other than me or her father, so naturally, we both cried that first day. But the staff handled everything with such warmth and care. They welcomed her with so much love that her tears disappeared within seconds -- and mine soon followed. One of my favorite things about L'Academy is the parent app. It keeps us updated throughout the day with details on meals, nap times, diaper changes, and even adorable photos of our little ones (shared securely only with parents). Now, my daughter is over two and in the toddler room, and her development has been amazing. Her speech and knowledge have grown tremendously -- she can sing her ABCs, count to 20, and even count to 10 in Spanish! (Neither her father nor I speak Spanish, so I know she learned that from her wonderful teachers!) The staff is incredibly attentive and proactive. If there's ever a minor incident, they immediately intervene and document everything in the app for parents. I recently enrolled my second daughter, who is now six months old, and this time there were no tears at all -- from either of us! It's such a relief knowing both my babies are in a loving, safe, and nurturing environment while I'm at work. As parents, we all know how hard it is to entrust someone else with our children. As an admittedly overprotective mom, I can confidently say L'Academy has been the perfect place for our family. The teachers are truly amazing, kind-hearted, patient, and full of genuine love for these kids. Seeing the way they interact with the children often brings tears to my eyes. My daughter talks about her teachers constantly and how much she loves them. Thank you to the incredible staff at L'Academy for caring for my babies as if they were your own, and for giving this anxious mom such peace of mind. You are all truly a blessing!
