I feel the worst by falling into this bait. Also: do not purchase insurance! extremely expensive. _______________________________ Have no words for their professionalism, kindness, respect and passion for music I went for an experimental class and instantly felt in love Selina is so knowledgeable and very dynamic I enrolled right away and I'm so excited for my next classes It was extremely easy and straightforward to enroll. If you don't have an instrument, the rental system is great and affordable Dont be shy if you're like me on your mid 30's Such a great experience that brought way more joy than expected! Thank you Paul, Vanessa and Selina

The Orlando School of Music is my primary place to enjoy practice sessions when I'm vacationing in…read morethe Orlando area. Each practice room is like my own private sanctuary to enjoy playing the piano for just a few hours away from the Disney World crowds. Vanessa, as well as other staff members, were very accommodating in my choice of pianos (e.g., grand, upright, or digital) for my practice session. I highly recommend them for any budding piano players who want to have their own private vacation within a vacation.

I started my son taking voice lessons here earlier in the year. He has been involved in Theater and…read moreMusicals and wanted to build on his singing skills. The Music Box has a few options and several instructors. There are profiles on their site to help see how your potential instructors are before you start. Once you start attending, the same instructor works with you week after week (there was one exception where my son had a "sub" - but he knew about it in advance and we could have addressed it if there were concerns). Having the same instructor work with my son has been really helpful as she coaches him on his progress. Out instructor has been personable and helpful - he is continuing to grow in his confidence as a singer. The folks at the Music Box front desk are also easy to communicate with - although there have been one or two incidents of communication breakdown about various things (closures & make--up lessons in particular) - overall it has been positive. The make-up policies are a bit stringent; for example if you get sick on the day of, they don't do make-ups....although they offer virtual sessions (which is probably less helpful if you are sick and nursing your voice)....while not ideal, I believe that's pretty standard across music lesson places. That doesn't make it better - but doesn't really rank them any worse among other music lesson places. Again, criticisms aside, the overall experience here is positive. I think the most import part is that the student connects with their instructor, which I feel is occurring. THe instructors here appear to have sufficient resumes, and our instructor for my son does move him in the right direction musically. A quick note about the parking lot......if you come after work hours, it is particularly busy. There is not much space there, so it can be a challenge......just something to consider when booking your time, its not unmanageable, but it's sometimes a struggle.

My kids have participated in several recitals as well as performed in shows at various venues. The instructors are all accomplished musicians in their own right and their love for music shines through in the way they encourage their students and it's often difficult to tell who is more excited about the students progress. They truly care about their students. If you visit The Music Box be prepared for "joyful noise". Naturally you hear ongoing lessons, but it's the laughter and pure joy that is often the most striking. If your child has expressed an interest in music, check out The Music Box. You will be so happy that you did.

My son came here for a week of summer camp. He's a techy kid at heart and enjoyed it as well as…read moremeeting new friends. Based on the course description this one was project based, basically coding to teach the game how to play rock paper scissors. They also had all sorts of culinary time everyday. On the last day they invited the parents to show us what they made and been working on. We got to try the treats the kiddos had made for us and see their coding. If you have a hands on kid like mines I think your kiddo would really enjoy this. They also take them outside to play out back. I thought the space was really nice too. It's very huge - open with different rooms for different things, and lots of long clear window walls. I should have asked for a tour because it's pretty huge and I believe host a robotics club. I can describe it as very modern tech environment and design. I definitely see bringing my kiddo back for more learning and enjoyment here.

If you remember watching "The Parent Trap" as a kid and thinking that's the kind of camp you want…read moreto go to, then Mah-Kah-Wee is for you. It is a rustic, outdoorsy camp, no cell phones allowed here! Camp Mah-Kah-Wee is a Girl Scout camp. They offer programs throughout they year for girls and have overnight camps during the summer. I have been to Mah-Kah-Wee many times over the years with my daughters, and I really appreciate that we have a facility like this so close to home. The camp surrounds a lake so there are many water activities like canoeing and kayaking available during the summer. There is also a swimming pool. They offer all of the standard camp activities like archery and crafts and they also have an obstacle course. My kids love this place. During the summer the week-long camps are themed so you can find something to match your child's interests. As for the facilities, the best place to stay is in the cabins. They have air conditioning! In Florida you NEED air conditioning in the summer. I've also chaperoned overnights in the tents, which aren't so bad, and a building they call the Eco Center, which is a bit more like a enclosed porch... no AC there. Overall, it's a great place. I highly recommend it. The prices for overnight camp are very good and the kids have a great time.

We originally signed her up for 2 weeks to try it out and she ended up spending 5 weeks there! She already told me that next year she just wants to do only AIM Summer Camp! We tried 3 other camps this summer and this one was definitely her favorite! Their water days and game truck Fridays were a big hit! Thanks for providing a healthy, active and FUN camp for our kids! See you next summer!

I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with this daycare. When we first moved to Oviedo I toured a…read morelot of places and although they all seem nice on the surface when you start reading reviews and talking to people who worked there the truth is scary. With Godard Oviedo what you see is what you get and they practice what they preach. Aside from the personal narratives of the people who recommended it I witnessed with my own eyes when we were on tour how caring the staff is of each and every child including the director Scott who picked up a kid who seemed visibly upset when we passed by him and comforted him as if it were his own child. The ladies at the front desk know each kid and parent and treat them with concern and affection. They are always kind and cheerful. Since my toddler began going there I have seen drastic improvement in areas of language, creativity, fine motor skills, and most importantly sleep. She no longer needs to be rocked to sleep. Best part is she also is starting to potty train thanks to her teachers. The love and care for our little ones is obvious and it extends to how well taken care of the facilities are. The location is fairly new and all of the spaces look it. Everything is cleaned and sanitized regularly. They even remain open during Covid and have maintained a standard of health. The one thing parents should know is that they do not serve lunch here but you can opt into a catered meal service. They also don't have a a microwave so the kids lunch has to be shelf or temp stable from early morning drop off until the afternoon. They do not have cameras in the classrooms for parents to log into but you do get pictures and sometimes videos throughout the day in an app and you get a daily report.
