BoiseCodeWorks was the missing link for me. I graduated college with a degree in IT Management and…read moredecided that software development was what I wanted to do, but struggled to get anywhere with my job search afterward. College doesn't prepare you for employment very well. I'd spend hours tailoring my resume to job postings and sending them out into the void just to get one automated rejection response after another. It became clear that I needed additional training and experience to get where I was hoping to end up. It was either a $20-70K masters' degree and another two years of being poor, or pursue various certifications that may or may not help. After considering different options, I decided to give BoiseCodeWorks a shot. They were extremely reasonably priced and have a surprisingly robust reputation in the valley. They are well respected by the companies in Boise and they, unlike BSU, go the extra mile in helping you get a job with a full week of career preparation from working industry professionals, a rep from the Idaho Dept. of Labor and others who specialize in getting people employed in the field. They provide the opportunity to do some powerful networking with heavy hitters in the valley in just a few days. The quality of the education I got from BoiseCodeWorks was phenomenal. The course is fast paced and definitely requires dedication, but the teachers are very knowledgeable and have a teaching style that makes it fun. Management gives you a voice and listens to your feedback. They also provide plenty of after-hours tutoring at no additional cost if you need help and can adjust or give additional projects to make sure you're challenged even if you're more advanced than the rest of the class. The course provides lots of hands-on training to solidify the new material. The resulting projects give you lots to talk about in interviews afterward. Lastly, they do fun activities to help you have a good time and make some lasting friends and connections. If you're looking to get into software development, especially in the Boise area, BoiseCodeWorks is the way to do it.

We visited for the first time a couple weeks ago for a trial class for both my kids. I picked a day of the week where they could both take a class at the same time. Pros: *the teachers were great! *The kiddy pool that the kids can play in before/after is fun for them. Cons: *it's connected to the gym right behind it and apparently the gym goers get to use the same pool facility. There was a couple weird/creepy looking old men in small swimsuits that were using some of the lanes in the biggest pool, that didn't make me feel comfortable as a mom. *there was a man who was either an owner or manager, he had long hair and he looked like a creepy guy as well, which sets off my mom radar (when you work around kids for a living, you should be very aware of the appearance you put off to parents), I will say he did kindly ask how our class was.. *this place is hot and humid as all heck inside where you sit to be close to your young kids, we only had a 30 minute class but it felt like forever and I was sweating everywhere but the time we left. Just not a good fit for us.

My oldest daughter is on her 3rd year at Innovate. Her teachers are very caring and attentive. I'm…read moreable to easily communicate with her teachers. What I love is the small class sizes, individual attention given to the students, no homework, and 4 day school week. I love no homework and the four day school week because it prioritizes our family time in the evenings. We don't spend our evenings after school stressing about assignments. I also love that they make it easy for parents to get involved. I'm able to volunteer in her classroom weekly. My daughter has excelled here! She loves going to school and used to be sad on the weekends that there isn't school 7 days a week. Our youngest daughter has blossomed going to Innovate's preschool this year. She is so happy there and I can tell the staff truly value her and care for her. I think because Innovate is such a new school they have had many growing pains but these haven't affected our family in a negative way. Dr. Geri has been a great addition to the school.

With her busy schedule, we decided to have her take the online course and was happy that she enjoyed it so much. It gave her all the knowledge she needed to do her drives and score well, even on the very first one. Since this was her first ever online course for a class, it gave her the confidence to know she can be successful taking online classes too.

I couldn't have asked for a better teacher to help my son with his introduction to music. He is really loving music, and can not wait for the next session to start. He has made so much progress, it was beyond my expectations of what I imaged that class would have his imagination want to learn from a music stand point. Encore is located in a perfect spot off HWY 55, with its own parking lot. The cost was reasonably priced for 8 weeks of music. I really liked they offered morning and afternoon classes for this age in two locations. I also found the class ration 6:1 was the perfect size for kids this age. The building is large, lots of seating for parents, bathrooms are stocked and always clean. I would recommend this to all my friends, family. Thank you to Encore for making this place for my little one to love music at a young age!

My birth plan did not go as planned (as they always say happens). Heather was there to help us through these obstacles every step of the way. She doesn't push you to make any decisions, she educates you and informs you and prepares you to make the decisions that fit you best. I had complications post delivery and she comforted my husband and made the phone calls and held my baby during this emotional time while I was in the OR. She was so much more help than we could have even dreamed of. She is the full package. She even took our newborn photos when my daughter was two weeks old and we turned it into our Christmas card. We also took Heather's classes to prep us for L&D. She made us feel comfortable about everything. She even braided my hair when I was in labor, so sweet! We made her work over time! Poor Heather. She was with us for hours and hours for two days straight. She was very responsive and willing to do whatever we asked her to do. She was even helping coordinate keeping my placenta and the logistics of that. I even texted her the other day to ask about recommendations for my baby and she answered right away. She's just the best of the best.
