George is so kind, genuine, and creative. Our daughter has taken his music classes for over a year…read more He is a loving person and you can really tell he enjoys teaching. He is a skilled facilitator as well. When I've seen kids that are neurodiverse in his class, he handles how to respond so well. The adult world right now is a stressful place with everything going on. It's refreshing to see someone who has a lot of love in his heart, and how he brings that to the kids and adults in his classes. My husband also attends his men's group and is so grateful for the support and friendship. We feel very lucky to have George in our lives. Thank you!

This was the most enjoyable CPR course I've ever taken! Kat is such an amazing instructor, extremely supportive and kind, very funny, and keeps the content entertaining. I was able to easily stay engaged and was very comfortable the entire time (I know courses can sometimes be intimidating). I walked away feeling educated and very prepared, and learned a lot despite this being another renewal for me! I plan on doing all future certifications with her, and I look forward to seeing her again! The space itself in Lafayette is very comfortable and inviting. My class happened to be all women, many doulas and moms, and everyone was so friendly. It had really good vibes despite talking about something so scary. Also, parking was easy, especially on a Sunday! Thank you, Kat! I am referring all of my friends to you and look forward to seeing you again!!!!!!!!

I have two kids enrolled in this Spanish program in Piedmont. Teachers come and go, no continuity…read more Went through 4 teachers by the end of the year. And to top it off!!!! My son was made to be "a piñata" where the teacher proceeded to encourage students to HIT my son, as he just laughed in FEAR. When his older brother tried to step in, the teacher told him to move. How disgusting!!!!!!! Never sending my kids to this horrendous Spanish class!!!!!!! AWFUL PROGRAM

Our daughter began attending after school classes at Viva when she was in the the third grade. She…read moreenjoyed the music and singing and warmed to the kindness of the teaching staff. Learning Spanish through immersion was natural. She continued going to Viva through the 8th grade. By the time she entered high school she was able to place into 3rd year Spanish. She continued Spanish through high school (through her school) and was able to (and proud of) being able to write essays (in Spanish) about the Spanish literature she had studied. During one summer in high school she had the opportunity to travel to visit friends who lived in Bolivia. The flight attendants honestly thought she was a native speaker -- because of her accent. Learning (and listening) and having the gentle corrections made while she was younger made a difference in her being able to properly pronounce the language. Thank you, Viva!

My daughter has been attending Tutu School Walnut Creek for nearly half a year now--and she…read moreabsolutely loves it! She's becoming more skillful, more confident, and genuinely looks forward to each class with so much joy. What truly makes the experience so special are the instructors, especially Ms. Tina. I can't thank her enough for her patience, expertise, and dedication. She is incredibly thorough in her instruction and deeply attentive to each child. Her calm, gentle demeanor works like magic--the children stay focused and engaged, even when there are occasional distractions, whether from other students or a parent on the phone. Thanks to teachers like Ms. Tina, my daughter will continue her ballet journey here. Not only is Ms. Tina a fantastic instructor for the kids, but she's also a wonderful mentor to the newly hired teachers--no wonder the entire team is so exceptional. Thank you, Ms. Tina, for everything you do. My daughter and all the little ballerinas are so lucky to learn from you!

Splash Swim School in Walnut Creek has been outstanding for our family. What makes this place so…read morespecial is not just the program, it is the people. Coach Fio, Ryan, and Devon have been incredibly patient, encouraging, and kind with our kids. And Conor, the manager, truly sets the tone. He goes above and beyond to make families feel supported and welcomed, and it is clear he genuinely cares about each child's experience. Our kids can be tough customers and there have been plenty of lessons where they did not want to get in the water at all. The team never gets frustrated or makes it feel like a problem. They stay patient, meet the kids where they are, and keep the focus on helping them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. What we appreciate most is that they make learning fun while still teaching real water safety and swimming skills. That balance is not easy, and this team does it so well. We are very grateful for the care, consistency, and heart they bring every week. Highly recommend Splash Swim School, especially this Walnut Creek team.

At Sherman, they are very attentive and always looking for ways to help their customers. The pool is perfectly heated, so ideal place for winter/spring lessons.

I highly recommend this place if you want private swimming lessons or diving lessons for your kids.

Sherman Swim School is the best! My (now) 8yr old daughter had attended swim sessions over the past…read morefew years, and it totally prepared her for her dream of being on a swim team. Her teachers were fantastic and they fine-tuned each lesson to turn her weaknesses into strengths. They made each lesson fun and my daughter always left the pool wishing she could swim longer. I also realize the focus they placed on technique and timing created a solid foundation for her to grow from. She can swim all four strokes, is now a very confident swimmer and having a blast on the swim team. She even tells me she might be interested in diving down the road, and we'll know exactly where to go to learn! It was easy to work with them to schedule days and times to fit what worked for us best (as my daughter's activities seem to change all the time). We could always count on having a day to swim and my daughter looked forward to it every week. In summary, Steve, Laurie and all the teachers are the best. We couldn't recommend Sherman Swim School more!
