EPCP was a great choice for our family. I was looking for more than childcare for my child; I…read morewanted a place where I could pop in or stay all day, and be part of his first introduction to school. And I wanted a community we could feel connected to. EPCP is all that. Parents work in the classroom as parent-teachers, so you have to be aware that not everyone will parent-teach the way you would. That can be challenging. The reward is seeing your child bloom among others, first-hand. The school has been in place for more than 50 years and the teacher for the two-year-olds has been teaching for more than 25. The older class (three- and four-year-olds) has had some fluctuation over the past year; our beloved teacher moved away and proved difficult to replace, but after some trial and error, a fresh and enthusiastic teacher seems to be fitting the bill. Though our family is moving on this year, I believe the community will thrive in the years to come. Tuition is low. The community is incredibly supportive. The school partners with local UO-based EC Cares to provide evaluations and assistance to kids who need a little extra attention. No school is perfect (hence four stars, rather than five) but EPCP is pretty awesome. Experience will vary based on your participation level, and that of the other families. We're going to miss EPCP for sure!

The older kids are encouraged to be leaders by running a school carnival, leading 'family groups', being buddies with younger students, and taking turns being crossing guards. They build school community by having a school play, a Christmas concert and a jog-a-thon that the entire school participates in. The middle school has a non-cut volleyball, basketball, and track team. My kids switched from a local public school due to bullying. While not perfect, the academics are much more rigorous, and bullying is much, much less than at the public school we came from. The school staff knows my kids' names, teachers care if my kids are absent, and help them keep track of missing work. My kids get personal attention and don't get lost in the shuffle since it is a smaller school.

It is more than a school; it is a true community. As someone who joined the school just hoping to give my kids a personalized, high-quality education in a safe environment, we have been so pleasantly gifted so much more. I highly encourage anyone interested or curious to take a tour!

I was in a real pinch and knew it: while I'm fairly resume-savvy, there was no doubt I was…read morecompletely stuck, and by that I mean paralyzed, as to how to make the proper changes to my current resume. I knew what the problem was, even drafted a new one to correct it, and just to realize there were a now valid concern about the NEW resume. Desperation prevailed over denial: although a writer myself, it was time to admit I needed help........... I coughed up my pride and looked into various resume services, most being ridiculously overpriced. Perhaps because they were starting from scratch or for CEOs and the like, I don't know, but if someone is that concerned about their resume being exact then you can usually assume they are on a LIMITED BUDGET, no? Just an observation. I emailed Oregon Writing Services when I found their site because it was local, the site was user-friendly, the prices were affordable, and while I am not sure I saw resume revision listed as an option, their list of services was quite versatile so I had a hunch that someone there could help see me through this quandary in some capacity. I knew I was sort of unique in that I didn't need someone to build it from scratch, and in that I really wanted to be----and was capable of being----a part of the writing process. I just needed someone to take the wheel. Turns out I was right. I immediately received an email back from Shane, who apparently is one of the three writing professionals that comprise Oregon Writing Services. He was perfect for the job, having had a lot of experience with resumes. I explained to him my concerns and goals, and opted to send him both my old and new resumes to preview. I then waited on his perspective and feedback as to whether we needed to meet in person or if we could do this via correspondence or if there was no help for me or what..... Shane totally agreed with me on the strengths and weaknesses of both resumes, and said I had a decent grip on resume writing however had absolutely valid concerns about each. This was comforting since I truly felt like I was losing it at this point. Even better, I immediately felt confident he could get me to the appropriate end product. The one I see but couldn't grasp. I was really impressed with his timeliness, thoroughness and efficiency: he asked more than once about the urgency of the project. While candid and easy-going, Shane was extremely professional. Feeling more confident, I offered to send him a hybrid of the two resumes, utilizing his advice (which included suggestions like creating a new email address, etc.). Motivated by his endorsement of a lot of the material already written, I put together a new and improved version that married the strengths of both resumes and sent it off for his review. This time I was pumped instead of pulling my hair out. Shane offered his final edits the next morning, right at the time he said he would, shared his final advice and BAM! Within 24 hours of my blind email query I now have a one-page BOMB resume that I'm thrilled about! It's easy on the eyes, well-organized, simplified yet far more professional. Furthermore, I finally feel like I have a resume that best represents my experience, interests and accomplishments over the years without understating or overstating anything (therefore unknowingly throwing myself under the bus!) It's also very easy to customize for the different types of positions I am looking at, which I love. Shane even provided examples of how he would do this. I literally cannot believe how easy and fast this was to do. Or how much of a difference it's made already in my self-confidence amidst the grueling application process. Hell, I'd hire me! Overall, the price was very affordable and well worth every penny; there is no doubt in this client's mind that many have paid 3 or 4 times as much for equal-to-lesser quality work, and most certainly weren't made to feel like a priority of any kind (like I was). The process was so laid-back and at the same time so much was accomplished. What more could you ask for? I feel it's important to mention from web-surfing that it's obvious that Oregon Writing Services could charge plenty more considering their skill levels and professionalism, but prefer to keep the variety of services they offer reasonable to the surrounding community. That alone is exemplary, and really and truly appreciated. But knowing my resume is razor sharp, totally "me", and perfectly put? Plus feeling confident I'll have permanent employment in no time? THAT is PRICELESS. I can only assume that all projects are handled with similar attention to detail and such genuine concern for the client's end goal. I know this is the best decision I could have possibly made, hands down, and I feel incredibly indebted to Shane and openly thank him for his expertise and dedication. I highly recommend utilizing the valuable (and LOCAL *cough*) resource that is Oregon Writing Services!
