My synagogue growing up was a very nice, standard, concrete building across the street from a public middle school on Long Island. I can't even compare my old synagogue to Plum Street! I've never been in a Catholic cathedral in my life, but this is what I always envisioned them as! Golden, historic, EXTREMELY high ceilings, a balcony for the choir/orchestra, long pews, the smell of candles and hard-wood... the ambiance and warmth of this place just surrounds you! I've been to a few Shabbat services as well as Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashannah. Unfortunately my budget can't fit in the annual dues beyond my free 1st year (for being under 35) so until I can afford to be an official congregant again, I'll have to visit on a tour. I highly recommend that anyone - gentile or Jew, tourist or local - visit this temple! It is a part of history, not just for Reform Judaism in the US but for Cincinnati and architecture as well!

If you truly care about your child, do not send them here by any means. The school claims to be…read moreprofessional and well-structured, but that image is extremely misleading. While they advertise themselves as a full Islamic school, the reality is very different. The school is far too expensive for what it actually offers. In the middle school and high school buildings, the only subjects that seem to be taken seriously are Arabic and math. In Quran class, students are simply handed a Quran and are expected to already know how to read and memorize it, with little to no proper instruction or support. New students are not treated well, and there is little effort made to help them adjust or feel welcomed. This is not the Islamic learning environment they promote. Everything costs extra, the expectations are unreasonable, and the overall atmosphere can be emotionally draining. In general, the middle and high school environment can completely destroy a child's motivation and love for learning. It is not a healthy place for students during such important developmental years. That being said, the elementary school is a completely different story. The elementary program is actually excellent. They teach Quran reading properly, Arabic writing, and Islamic studies in a structured and supportive way. The environment is kind, safe, and nurturing, which is exactly what young children need. Teachers are more patient, and students are encouraged rather than pressured. I would strongly recommend this school only for elementary-aged children. However, the same recommendation does not apply to the middle or high school. Parents should seriously reconsider enrolling their older children here, as the quality of education and student care drops significantly after elementary school.

The Sisterhood and Men's Club have wonderful events open to the whole congregation as well. I would highly recommend Valley to anyone looking to join a reform synagogue.

My children have been in daycare most of their lives. We spent three years at one school and three…read moreat another. We only changed because our old daycare couldn't accommodate new school hours. BCLC was a disaster from the start. My older child recognized one woman from his school and expressed his dislike for her. He's always cheerful and likes pretty much everyone, but was frustrated because he had not liked her as a substitute. I could soon see why. She always seemed frantic and hectic with a frenzied voice. It was easy to see she was impatient and stressed--not good characteristics for being around children. No wonder my extroverted child had noticed something wrong. My introverted child who doesn't like crowds hated the school from the start, and I couldn't figure out why, but I was soon getting calls from the frantic/stressed woman several days a week because she couldn't deal with him. Apparently, her high strung behavior was not a good match. I'd never gotten a call from a daycare to pick up my child before, but suddenly she was throwing fits several times a week. The tone of voice in the voice mails she left was hysterical. My child reported to me that when she got frustrated, she grabbed and pinched his arms really hard and that it hurt. I took photos of the red marks around his wrist. She can't contain herself and can't keep herself from arguing with a six year old who is small for his age...which is NOT okay in a business where one works with kids. Even when she wasn't fighting with my child, every time I saw her or had to interact with her, it was obvious she was rushed and not handling stress well. I am very concerned about a daycare where the frantic/stressed adult fights and argues and cannot be patient with children. The adult should be in charge, and clearly this woman was not. The woman we met when we first started was only there a brief time before suddenly I heard a different director name. I have no idea what is going on there, but they have management issues, and apparently hired a frantic person who didn't work out as a substitute teacher elsewhere. I need to be able to go to work--not take daily calls from a teacher who can't deal with small children. We hadn't had problems with childcare before, and I suspect we won't again. The frantic woman needs to see a therapist to help her de-stress.

Since we are a military family, I find it very important to review the schools which my daughters…read morehave attended in order to provide information for other families who are having difficulties finding schools for their children as I have had in the past. Beavercreek Christian Learning Center (BCLC) located in the Beavercreek Church of the Nazarene is a wonderful, well-kept school located in Beavercreek, Ohio, redundant, no? Both my daughters attended preschool here and I fervently wished I kept my eldest daughter in BCLC for Kindergarten instead of letting her go to public school in the Mad River School District. 1) BCLC teachers are well-educated and have their degrees or are working towards higher degrees. Many teachers have been established for many, many years. 2) The facilities are clean, peanut-free, and video-monitored. 3) Impressive organization of facility, activities, etc; no confusion. Newsletters are distributed monthly. 4) There is curriculum! Many children are reading (it seemed like all the students in my eldest daughter's class read) by the time kindergarten rolls around. 5) In-house field "trips" for preschoolers; actual field trips for kindergarteners. 6) Parent involvement encouraged. 7) Chapel on Wednesday mornings; really enjoyed by kids. 8) Christmas Bell performance given by kids is enjoyed by parents and kids alike! 9) Tuition is comparable to all other great schools, lunch is included; preschool time from 8:30-12:30. Extended before and after care provided. 10) VERY IMPORTANT: Never closes unless Wright Patterson Air Force Base closes or for a religious holiday. In this area, all other schools close all the time. Take this into account if you work; especially on supposed "snow days."

Passing by, St. Ursula Villa hardly looks like a school; it's more like an old castle. Little do…read moreCincinnatians know that this building was once home to R.K. LeBlonde, a legend in the Queen City's machine tool industry. LeBlonde built his mansion in 1913. European heritage is prominent throughout the structure, such as lead peaked windows and a stone exterior. While some renovations have been needed, I was pleased to see most of the original home untouched and intact. LeBlonde lived in the house until his death in 1953. Afterwards, the property was willed to the Archdiocese and became St. Ursula Villa in the 1960s. St. Ursula Villa is a beautiful landmark rich in Cincinnati history. Since this is a private school, the most respectful time for viewing is on the weekends when classes are not in session.

This year has done nothing but cause issues not just for my son but for his friends as well. They recently changed the administration and it has gone downhill from there. The way they handle punishments is absolutely unacceptable. They treat the girls and the guys with very different amounts of respect and they put students down and make their lives harder. Yes high school students may be rebellious at times but that is just a normal high school experience. In my opinion this is just like a public school with a Christian label. I do not recommend sending your kids here. And they have dress code expectations but the kids that I have seen do not seem clean. my son has overheard multiple kids saying they do not shower. that is utterly unacceptable. It even states in the dress code you must been "clean and well kept". and some of my sons friends which are females have worn skirts that are slightly on the shorter side and as soon as they walk in that building they are given used clothes that haven't been washed although I see MANY younger girls with skirts all the way up their legs almost having their butts out and they haven't said a word to them about it. I understand there are exceptions to follow but the way they go about it is simply just unChristian. And my son has confided in me that he no longer believes because of this school. The teachers cuss infront of children. I don't know what needs to happen but I recommend fixing these issues as soon as possible.
