As a first year dance mom I accidentally scheduled my child's Sweet and Sassy birthday party on the…read moresame day as dance pictures. I had scheduled the party in December and the dance teacher scheduled pictures in January. I never saw the update until about two months before the party when i was handing out invitations to my daughter's dance class. When I realized this happened I sent a private message to the dance owner pleading to make this work since this was a party we saved up for all year. In writing, She stated, "yes the other parents worked it out after class that they would be able to head there right after pictures". I followed up with the owner in person the following Monday and asked her if I should try to move the party back an hour. She stated, "no this shouldn't be a problem". She denies this interaction but the other parent I asked in front of remembers it. A month and half goes by and not a single person warns me that this might not work out. In fact the other parents in the class are encouraging. They say that she runs on time with pictures and sticks to her schedule.Picture day arrives and I show up 30 minutes early just be sure everything goes smoothly. I notice Miss Angela is taking a really long time to start pictures. We end up starting pictures 15 minutes late. The other parents are mentioning to me that it's weird that she's not starting yet. I don't think anything of it at the time. Then she lets the girl who came in after us in a completely different time slot go in front of my daughter's class for their second class pictures. A picture session that was supposed to take 15-20 minutes (at tops 45 minutes if things didn't go well) was taking an hour and 20 minutes. Which meant that we were now 20 minutes late for my daughters birthday party. A party that cost $490. I go back to the picture room to retrieve my daughter because SHE can't be late for her own party, she can just miss the rest of the pictures. Miss Angela slams the door in my face and no one lets me have access to my daughter for another 10 minutes. I message Miss Angela hoping that maybe she just forgot and didn't realize it was me trying to get my daughter and is going to apologize. I see that she read the message and I get no response. I wait all day Sunday to send another message. Now I'm thinking do we return to this studio for class on a Monday? I get no response until Tuesday Morning after my daughter missed dance class Monday night. Miss Angela tells me that I can meet her in person. I meet her in person on Wednesday. I expected the conversation to go something like, "I'm so sorry. I completely forgot. I know we talked about this". INSTEAD she starts telling me how wrong it was of me to interrupt the pictures. Then she says, "sorry" but she's rolling her eyes while she's saying it. Her body language is completely incongruent with her words. I ignore it for a minute until I finally ask her why she is rolling her eyes when she's saying sorry. She then proceeds to gaslight me until I feel like I'm acting like a crazy person and start crying. She starts looking at me in disgust and doesn't show an ounce of empathy. I ask her why she took so long to respond to me when in the past it's been much faster. Her words, "I dealt with you when I was ready to deal with you". Then she lets it slip that I put her in a bad situation with the parents in the class. She says that I made her feel like she had no choice but to say yes it was okay because she didn't want to look bad in front of the other parents. It was at that point that everything connected. That statement linked with the confusion of the parents on picture day as to why she was taking forever to start made me realize this lunatic, owner of En Avant Dance, purposefully sabotaged my daughter's birthday party. A 7 YEAR OLDS BIRTHDAY PARTY in an attempt to get back at me. We have since moved onto another dance school. The atmosphere at the new dance studio is light, professional, and kind. Three things I never noticed En Avant never had.

I mentioned I have a service dog and was immediately told she would be welcome I could write about this treasure of a business for hours.

As a high school student, I had an overall bad experience at Baum. I was awarded a state recognized…read morescholarship for three 10 week teen classes at Baum. I was so thrilled, because Baum was supposed to be such a wonderful place, and I couldn't possibly afford the classes otherwise, so my scholarship seemed to be a prayer answered. I called Baum's office and told them I wanted to register for a course, but the woman there kept insisting my scholarship didn't exist, though I read her the scholarship letter and provided her with proof. Eventually, she somewhat conceded, but then tried telling me my scholarship was only good for a 5 week summer camp course, which was then currently in session and already halfway over! That was NOT what my scholarship entailed. In fact, my scholarship was worth much more. I was appalled at her treatment of me and my parents. My classes were being paid for BY MY scholarship. I have no idea why she refused to recognize that, even after she had proof. After many more headaches, several phone calls, and emails to Baum and the foundation I received the scholarship from, eventually I was signed up for my first course. The class I took was nightmarish. The instructor did not teach, she basically sat back and told us to draw or paint something, giving little or no instruction on fine art technique or process. She wouldn't even let us take home our art, so we could work on it at home. The worst part was, she expected us to have our pieces completed in 1-2 classes! So it felt like we weren't learning or spending much time on a lesson at all! Additionally, even though the course was supposed to be specifically about learning fine art techniques in painting and drawing, the teacher plainly said, and I quote, "I don't believe I should teach you the traditional techniques, because I want you to develop your own." Well, that would be all fine and dandy, except, that's not what was in the course description, and that is also not what my scholarship was paying for. I ceased coming after 5 classes because of the mediocrity of that class and the attitude of the teacher. I expected far better. But considering the baffling, unacceptable treatment I received initially, I should not have been surprised at the low quality of the instruction. I am very disappointed. In the past, I have heard amazing things about the Baum School of Art, but I did not experience any of them in my time there. I have 2 more additional courses available to me, but I am hesitant to take them now. It's almost not worth it if the courses are going to be like the previous one I took. I hate to say that, because I appreciate my scholarship and I came to Baum hoping to learn more about the art I love, but I can't lie. It's such a shame If you're considering taking a class here, or signing your child up for a class, take some time to consider alternative schools. You'll want your money's worth, and I'm not certain you're going to get it at Baum. And trust me, you won't want to deal with their system. It felt like I was catering to them instead of the other way around.

During our time at TLE, there were two different owners, but we continued to see the same issues. These were what we witnessed during our time at TLE: 1. Our son has issues with his feeding that require him to be held upright during feeding. Multiple times, this simple and medically necessary request was not followed causing him to projectile vomit and stop breathing. We trained multiple teachers and very few seemed to actually follow through with this request. 2. They will feed your children slumped on the floor. I have photo evidence of them feeding my son on the ground with his neck positioned in a right angle. 3. The floors were filthy even though they said there's a cleaner. Crumbs everywhere and carpets had weeks' worth of spit up stains. Former employees mentioned cockroaches as well. 4. Our son was given medication without calling us for consent multiple times. 5. They skipped multiple feedings and our children constantly came home with diaper rash because they weren't changed for over 3 hours. 6. They had so much turnover and so many different teachers throughout the day that they had to label our kid with tape to make sure he didn't get mistaken for another kid. Kind of funny but also speaks to the stability of the place. We voiced our concerns so many times, so this shouldn't come to a shock to TLE but they also took 0 actions to remedy any of this. There's a few good teachers at TLE, but owners, directors, and fill in teachers don't care enough to make sure your kids are safe. If you're able to, pay a little more and go elsewhere to protect your child.
