The prices are VERY reasonable (most were under $20) and they have a lot of fruit wines (strawberry, cherry, peach to name a few). Well, for under $20 you get what you expect. I wouldn't cellar these wines, but for porch sipping, they do the trick. I recommending calling ahead. They don't seem to get a lot of foot traffic, so the owner is equally likely to be working the fields.

If you read Angelica R's review on 9/26/22 PLEASE READ MINE. Everyone is entitled to their opinion,…read morebut there is also truth and reality. Unlike Angelica R, I have had multiple children (from infant room to Pre-K) in the program since February 2021, so I hope that my long-term experience may be more helpful than someone who didn't spend a month there. My children were on site during her one month, and I did not experience what she did. Policies are in place for a reason, can't make exceptions. Let me start with: We intend to keep our children at Jupiter Learning Academy until they age out, and we intend to continue to support JLA and recommend them to our families and friends who need childcare. This is not our last resort, and I would never call any of the teachers low class or say they provide low class childcare as previously reviewed. I don't think any one childcare location or school is PERFECT. People are human, and humans aren't perfect. Sometimes not every request can be met and sometimes communication styles don't flow together. No one loves your child more than you should love your child and it should be hard for anyone to live up to your own standards and expectations of what you would provide if you didn't have to find childcare; but I know the staff at JLA do love my children, they care about their well being, they provide updates if they ever seem "off," they check in on them if they miss a day. My children learn, sing and dance; they have books and toys; I can see what they've learned. They have projects in class, and get artwork sent home. My children gladly go with open arms to any and all of the teachers who greet them in the mornings. JLA is scheduled and routine (which is transparent and posted in the front lobby), which I love. Also posted in the lobby is the monthly calendar of what the themes and "lesson plans" are for each week. It's fun to watch them develop! If you want 1-on-1 care 100% of the time, you shouldn't bring your child here because it's not possible. I can't even provide that myself since I have more than one child. The biggest safety protocol JLA has in place is exactly what Angelica R doesn't like about not having access to the center. I don't know her, she doesn't need to know my children without my permission, just as much as I should not have any access to her children whenever I want. I don't like people coming in and out at any point during the day and disrupting the schedules and routines. I appreciate and understand the lack of free access and the safety measures in place. If you're considering Jupiter, ask about their trial hours at your tour! Tours are after hours, but your child can still be immersed before you lock in! It's not totally impersonal. You CAN easily get to know other children and families in the lobby. But unless you've established a personal relationship with the other families, there's no reason for us to know the names/ages of all the children in the center on their terms. PS. to the parents of the "four month old child [who] literally crawled right out the door:" God-speed to you for having to be prepared with a mobile baby so early! Wow! There are always challenges and adjustments needed for new routines, teachers and children. Not every day is a great day as far as no messes; may have lingering markers or paint on their hands or some snack stickiness still on their cheeks. Kids take off their shoes, kids throw food on the floor; it can't be 100% clean 100% of the time. However, at pick-up, if one of mine has something on their face, staff will grab a wipe or tissue and check them before letting them come over to me. I've even handed one back for a diaper change that happened while checking out! Having camera access to my children at all times was not a request during my childcare pursuit, so I can't speak on this. However, if I felt I needed that feature, I just wouldn't have chosen a center who doesn't provide this. Jupiter DOES, however, provide peeks of my children's days through the app that includes pictures of them and notes and messages from the staff. I haven't had a problem with that communication. I love getting pictures throughout the day, but of course, some days have more action than others. Yes, there is a vape store next door. I have never once felt concerned about the business and I'm not even sure how much business they do. They might not be there forever. What I do love about it: the owner has a cat and my children love to walk to the window at drop-off and pick-up to say hi to the cat from outside. I've also never noticed broken glass and beer cans. It's a parking lot, so sometimes there is litter, but there are about 4 other businesses in the strip so I wouldn't consider Jupiter responsible for the entire parking lot. Takeaways: Safe, reliable, caring, supportive, developing young minds!

If you think Jupiter Learning Academy (JLA) will be good for your children, think again. My one…read moreyear old's personality changed to "fearful" and "nervous" after attending the daycare. We had only been going to JLA for a few weeks so I thought she was still adjusting. To my great regret, I did not read the signs correctly. She was afraid. We removed our child after 5 weeks. She came home with marks on her neck and chest. These marks looked like fingerprints, red marks left by a large hand. We complained to Samantha and had a meeting with her and her husband. Yes, Samantha's husband does work at the center and "care for," small girls and boys. He is a large man and he does not speak English very well so he is hard to understand. I also complained to social services. The daycare is not transparent. Parents cannot go past a small entrance room with a locked door. The daycare says the reason is to protect the childrens identities. The owners husband actually thrust his hand toward me to ward me off when I tried to look around the door. They are adamant about keeping parents out. Other daycares have safety features and they give parents a code to enter their daycares. Locking parents out is not normal. Samantha was very rude when I met with her about my concerns. I have only mentioned a few concerns in this post. Bottom line, I could not get my child away from JLA fast enough. I regret ever allowing my daughter to be exposed to this horrible place. The only reason I can fathom that they have not been shut down is because there are limited resources, choices for daycare in the area. My child is now at a safe, reputable daycare where she is happy and I am happy with her care. To parents considering JLA, beware. My experience was traumatic. In my opinion, JLA is so bad, it should not be in the business of caring for children. They owners are nasty people and the policies are not friendly to children or parents.

They also have periodic history classes or period reenactments (like Colonial cooking classes). Locals who like history should love this place. I ventured here mostly for the Civil War period (Louisa was the sight of the Battle of Trevilian Station, the largest 100% cavalry clash of the Civil War) but they also cover the town's history from the Native American peoples all the way to mid-20th century. While they have maps that show some of the local historic Civil War markers and provide maps, unfortunately there is no 'battlefield' to see :(

My friends and I went right when they opened at 3 p.m. on a Friday in October. Here's our experience: 1) Instructions: Two staff members taught us how to tie knots, belay, etc. Once we had the hang of it, they stayed with us to make sure we were climbing safely and/or had any questions. They were great instructors and very personable. 2) Walls: There are four different climbing walls and three ropes. Two walls you can climb without roping in and two others you rope in. (One had an automatic belay machine.) If it's your first time, but you want to climb high, go to the tallest wall and follow the blue markers. 3) Space: It's in the space that was the stage of an old theater. It's kept clean and comes with a training area, restrooms, changing rooms, etc. 4) Staff: When you check in, they give you shoes to climb. (There are cubbies to place your shoes in.) If you didn't sign a waiver online, they'll have you sign when you enter. Every staff person we met was very nice and helpful!
