Thank you so much Barbizon for everything you've done for my family! Kids always remember the parent to support them, and the parents who don't. My parents didn't support me in my dreams, and I'll never forget. I am proud to be the dad that supported his daughter and helped her make her dreams come true! I love you Haley!

Many better options for the price (Vr game development class)…read more While I'm sure some of the other classes provide high quality education, the Vr game development tutorial certainly did not. It was basically just a room with all the necessary hardware and software for game development, but no actual education. The teacher, while very nice, never taught how to code but instead instructed the class to an "exclusive website" while they sat and tried their best to answer questions. This would have been fine if it weren't for two things. A. The website didn't teach how to make a VR game, but instead a text based game and later a simple 3D game. B. Since the website never explained how to code something like joystick movement, the teacher had to manually answer each kid's question about literally anything. This meant you would sit for an hour waiting for your turn with the teacher while you made the map, until FINALLY they would try to help you with actually learning anything. Again, no fault to the teacher, they did their best. The problem is the fundamental lack of curriculum. It's 25 hours of sitting in a room building a unity map while waiting to be taught how to do anything, for 1000$. If you need anymore proof, by the end nobody had a playable game. Not an unfinished or glitchy game, but a game that only a few people could actually load into their headset at all with no code or controls or gameplay. Find an online YouTube tutorial, rent your kid a PC for the week and save yourself the trouble (and money). This isn't even the end of the flaws. Often if a kid starts playing games in class the teacher won't stop them. At least the free cafeteria food is good and has lots of dietary restrictions, even if it doesn't make up for the price.

We have been with Carden for over 6 years, so we have seen it all. In 2009 November when I first…read morewalked into the school seeking admission for my then almost 4 year old, the school had a total of 15 students and had just moved to their new location. I had been actively looking and comparing different private schools within a specific budget, and Carden came out as the best of all of my choices. It is a year round school, with options to sign in for day-care after school. This was a blessing for us working parents. School also provides options for extracurricular activities such as Chess, Taekwondo, Yoga, and Zumba. The school has since grown to over 100 children. And has office staff that support the teachers. The Teachers are the best of the best. Dedicated and nurturing. The Student to Teacher ratio is at most 1:4. Now, let's get to the crux. All Carden schools follow Mae Carden Principles and curriculum. These are different from standard methodologies, but believe me, they work. Carden children are very well behaved. They excel in Spelling bees, Math Competitions, Science Fairs, Robotic Competitions, you name it. You will not go wrong enrolling your child here. For those who would consider cost as a key factor, you are paying the money to the teacher. In other schools most of my payment goes to the day-care. (This is assuming a full day at school).

I love this school! This is my 7th year there and I have two children there. The focus is on…read moreperseverance, good manners and kind behavior. Academics are very strong and each child gets to learn at her own pace. I love the fact that they have PE and Mandarin three times a week and have superb music and art teachers. My children love to go to school every day which is certainly not what my husband and I remember from our school days! I especially appreciate the year round calendar and the extended care. These are very convenient for working parents. The extended care has many actives like yoga, soccer, taekwondo, chess and dance. Having been at the school for so many years, I understand where some of the bad reviews are coming from - there were some issues with the administration some years ago, mostly due to growing pains, but those were resolved. The school is bottom heavy with fewer children in the higher grades. This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on one's child I think. Personally I love the 1:1 attention my children are able to receive. It is a very joyful and happy place and I feel very privileged to be able to send my children there.

We paid $50.00 for him to be reviewed by a coach in order to set up a training plan with The Yard. In other words, we wanted to enroll him in their Baseball Academy, and this seemed to be the first step. The website mentioned a video review and an assessment of skill. We completed the assessment, which included no video by the way, and were told we would be hearing back to set up a training plan. That is the last we heard from them. No email, no phone call, nothing. WE followed up, more than once, and were told, no problem, we will be in touch. That was over two months ago with no response. I feel like we threw away our money and have gotten nothing in return. If they are understaffed or incapable of providing services, maybe they should stop advertising.

Jordan was great with my son, I had to tear my kiddo away from talking his ear off as his eval was over and he had other clients. We will definitely be back for private lessons.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed because I didn't see hardly 'montessori' learning in the class. Not sure if it's just for the summer or it's how they operate during the school year. Frankly, I found her old preschool to be better than this Montessori school. I still believe in Montessori method of learning but the "Montessori" word has be thrown out so easily and quality of "montessori' is not regulated. Just Beware to parents who are interested in sending their kids to a Montessori school. Ask a lot of questions. They charged a lot, but I feel my kid didn't get much out of it. In 3 hours my kid was in school, they went outside to play 2 times, watched a movie, and lunch. Everytime I picked up my kid it was usually a free quiet time, but none of the kids there did Montessori activities. they were reading books. Not that reading books is bad, but I was hoping the kids were more exposed to Montessori learning. According to my kid, they didn't have story time, and singing. After experiencing this, I decided to send my kid back to her old preschool which we loved so much.

I like that the teachers give me plenty of feedback about my daughter's day, how she napped, who she is friends with, what they are learning, etc. This is also one of the least expensive programs in the area, especially for a Montessori school.

She is unpleasant in general, questionable in her role as an "instructor", and unapologetic as well as unaccountable. After an incident in her class where my high school daughter and I were specifically singled out for harassment, Loree determined that my intention to reach out directly to ODOT was a "threat", and expelled my daughter (who had participated respectfully and had never missed a single class session or driving lesson) from her program. A legal challenge had to be made, and a complaint to ODOT filed. If you prefer to interact with a driving school that is ethical, with a strong customer service orientation and an eye towards treating students fairly above all, this is not the right driving "academy" for your family.

While she may be an adequate "driving instructor," I don't believe that Loreen is necessarily at her best when she interacts with people. Especially when it involves taking accountability and apologizing. Loreen and I spoke on the telephone twice, for a length of time before coordinating dates/times that would best suit my daughters schedule and hers. After verbally discussing pricing and scheduling, a PayPal invoice was delivered to my email address. 1. The invoice was incorrect. When I telephoned Loreen, I asked her to please send a corrected invoice. She immediately countered with, "No, I didn't make an error. That is how much the driving lesson cost." Needless to say, the invoice was again emailed with the correct pricing. So YES, she did make an error and NO, she did not apologize. 2. An email with dates for the scheduled driving driving dates/times was to be emailed to my daughter. (I had placed them in my calendar as well). It was not emailed, even after calling twice to remind her. 3. Yesterday was suppose to be my daughters first driving lesson. At 10 minutes past the hour, no driving instructor had arrived. I telephoned Loreen, she said that she had no recollection of us speaking and that she certainly would not have scheduled driving instruction without payment. I DID pay, the same day that the invoice arrived, via PayPal. Which she discovered after looking at her payments. Her tone with me was condescending and rude. To finish out an otherwise long review; I understand that we all make mistakes. That life can be stressful and overwhelming. That being said, it would have been professional and humanly kind, for Loreen to apologize and make an attempt to remedy her error. Instead she has overbooked with other clients. After a couple telephone conversations, she is refunding me in cash today (I don't trust her to actually send a refund otherwise). People, integrity and kindness go a long way in this world. You will be pleasantly surprised how people lean into you, and are inspired by your light. Pay it forward here and there, and be kind. Take ownership if you have made a mistake and do your very best to remedy it. :-)
