I can't imagine my kids be educated better anywhere else (except for maybe homeschooling, which…read morejust didn't work out for us unfortunately). The staff and teachers CLEARLY love Jesus and believe the Bible is the whole Word of God. They do not water down their faith to accommodate for worldly culture. My children come home singing worship songs they learned at school, quoting scripture they have memorized, and having theological discussions. The academics of Isaac Newton Christian Academy are amazing as well. My children are doing FAR more then what they would be doing in public school. My third grader is reading a novel a week (on top of his Bible reading and study). My first grader is learning spelling words I did not learn until much later in my education. Math, Science, Computers, Arts... everything is top notch. Some parents have a difficult time with the homework load and academic expectations when it comes to switching their kids from public schools, but this is to be expected when the standards are higher. My kids never complain about homework load, because this is all they have known, and I am very proud of them for learning to work and achieve excellence. If you are a Bible believing Christian, this school is for you! If you want your kids to have the best academic experience, this school is for you!

We've had a great experience with the teachers & administration at INCA so far! Thankful for this…read moreplace that teaches our kids about Jesus & that our faith isn't separate from our every day life/academics. We've seen a solid biblical foundation being built & challenging academics taught in K-3rd so far.

The Hiawatha location lied to us about their willingness to use cloth diapers while we toured and…read moresigned the registration paperwork. They called me on my first day at a new job to say they refused to use them and I had to leave to bring disposable diapers even though Cassie assured me they would when I registered weeks earlier. They offered nothing but excuses everytime they lied to us. The ladies who run the administration have their children attend and one of their children severely hurt ours several times. Our son told us how bad it was. We expressed our concern, but nothing was done. In the 3 year old room her son bit ours on the face hard enough to draw blood. No reassurance he was up to date on vaccinations or an apology. Our son is 3 and has never bit anyone, let alone hard enough to draw blood on someones face. We tried to transfer due to our 3 year old telling us he was hurting him, but they never responded about openings at the CR or Marion location and ignored us. That child then pushed ours down so hard his father had to go get him in the middle of the day to take him to the doctor because of the bleeding. He had to go to a ENT specialist to see if he broke his nose at 3 years old. They then blamed it on his shoe even though the "teacher" had already said another child pushed him when she called to say he had to be picked up. The doctor said there had to have been a lot of force behind that push and she was surprised he didnt chip his teeth. They refused to show the video footage. They never once made an effort to keep him safe. They refused to transfer us to another location so we lost the $100 per child registration and had a hard time finding a new placement. They stated we could leave at anytime without a two week notice, when I said Id be taking them out they said they already ran the payment for the next week and wouldnt give our money back. Then they told us they were kicking our children out in one week instead of letting us leave whenever. One of the staff in the 1 year old room told us she didn't call our son by his name because "he looked like another name". In the 2 year old room our youngest gets bit hard enough to leave marks almost daily and they cant do anything to stop it. The 3 year old room is a mess with all the kids throwing hard toys at the staff's heads thinking it's funny while staff openly admits they cant control them. All around horrible daycare.

My daughter attended Hand in Hand after school care at her school (Bowman Woods). I was not pleased…read morewith the care she received. They often spent the afternoons watching movies and when they read books the staff picked books for them and forced them to read those books. My daughter, who used to love reading, began to hate it One afternoon, after school a boy shoved my daughter and bit her on the shoulder. The after school supervisor (Cassie) saw it happen and just ignored it. It had to be handled by the classroom teacher the following day. Then recently I noticed the charges from Hand in Hand seemed really high, so I asked for a statement. They had been adding on "processing fees" that totaled $111 since I had the payment on automatic withdrawal from my debit card. When questioned about the fees, their response was they had signs posted all over the school, however parents are not currently allowed in the school due to COVID so there would be no way to see the signs. I double checked the form I signed at the beginning of the year and there was nothing about processing fees. In addition to the "processing fees" they also charged me 4 times for a "card decline fee" of $36. However, I provided bank statements showing that I had money in my account and there was no reason for them to charge me a "card decline fee" After talking with my bank there would be no reason for my card to be declined, so it had to be an error on Hand in Hand's part. In addition to all of those fees they have been charging me for before school care for the last three months which my daughter doesn't even attend. So all together I have paid about $200 of expenses in the last 2-3 months in fees and being overcharged. After talking with Hand in Hand about this they have refused to refund my money. Send your kids anywhere else! Don't go to Hand in Hand, you will regret it. The management is rude and doesn't want to help they just want to take your money.

This place is so much fun. I've gone to two painting classes now, once alone and once with a date…read moreand I had a blast both times and came home with a beautiful painting. The teachers are great and show you exactly how to make your painting look like a professional painted it. An evening well spent!

I hadn't been to this new location of Brush & Barrel before (they moved to this location from the…read more1st Ave location in 2021), so this was a great chance to check it out. My husband and I had such a great time testing out our creative brains as we painted Picasso-inspired faces. Thankfully, the staff were generous with the paint! I think I asked for more paint 3-4 times... maybe I just like to glob in on, though. :) The space we painted in fit approximately 20-25 people. There was another room where splatter painting occurs. I think every one of us in our group said, "OooooOOOOooooo," as we passed that room on our way out. I will be curious to check it out sometime.
