This place is a hidden gem here in Austin- super cool studio with an amazing Art Instructor Amber!…read moreHad my daughter's 11th birthday - choose to do the splatter paint room and kids LOVED every minute of it. Her studio itself is a work of art, so you are inspired as soon as you step onto her property tucked up a hilltop with Lake Travis in the background! Amber does a wide range of art mediums for both children and adults. And we learned she does summer camps too! I would check this place out no matter how old you are- it's worth going to!!!

We just left the Art Barn, splatter paint party with Mrs. Gordon and it was THE ultimate party!! 3…read morehours of structured, chaos, colossal fun!!! Mrs. Gordon communicated everything so well, we knew exactly what to expect and how to prepare for the party. Her structure helped the party run smoothly...well-oiled machine! The girls rain wild. Splatter painted every inch of the room, themselves, and their canvas - followed by the water slide and foam cannon. Honestly, the perfect combo! Even my 12 yr old son jumped in on the fun. I cannot recommend the art barn enough...the moms are talking about the adult retreat next!! Bonus: Mrs. Gordon documents the whole experience by capturing the best pictures and sharing them immediately! Double bonus there is an arcade room my son enjoyed...no one was bored on her watch!

It was hands down the favorite camp of the summer and it inspired so many dreams in my children. My kids went from knowing nothing about boat to able to sail on their own in a matter of days. They love being on the water and being the captain of their ship. They learned so much about boats and sailing but also about responsibility and leadership. We have loved being a part of sail strong and we can not wait to take more classes and attend camp again.

I wish that I could give less than 1 star here…read more I used to serve at the same church as this man and we had a pretty deCent relationship up until he started to post some very hateful and homophobic things on his Facebook page specifically targeting the gay community, like myself, completely unprovoked. JD has posted these things not only to communicate his personal thoughts but also to simply cause and stir a ruckus within the community for entertainment. I'm disgusted by his behavior, saddened by his lack of sympathy/empathy for my community, and simply do not tolerate his actions. I would not want my children around someone like this EVER. The demoralizing energy he's given off, is not of God. The hateful spite is not of the divine. The trolling demeanor is not nice. And moreover, I wouldn't trust my money or time with him. I highly suggest going elsewhere. Have a blessed day Attached are a few photos of his heinous posts. Do you want someone like this entertaining you?

So far we've had nothing but great experiences here. I feel like they treat my daughter well (or…read moreshe'd tell me. She doesn't hold back lol). She's always so happy when I come in to get her and tells them all "bye bye I see you tomorrow!" I really appreciate how great they are with the kids any time I've been in there.

We absolutely loved Wholesome Generation for our pre-schooler. The teachers were kind and…read morecourteous. The director is loving and nurturing. Our child's gross motor skills excelled while at Wholesome. The play learning and lots of outside time gave my child opportunities they wouldn't have had at other preschools/daycare centers to use their body and discover nature in a whole new way. Additionally, I really appreciated not having to prepare lunches and snacks for my child and that there was zero screen time while at school. At times, the school's ideas were so large and grand they were hard to capture, coming across as unorganized. The love and energy put into the school made up for that aspect. We moved on to (public) kindergarten for a more traditional academic education. I'd give Wholesome 4.5 stars if possible. No where is perfect but love and kindness goes a long way when raising children and making the best decision for them. In summary, we loved Wholesome Generation and would highly recommend it overall.

When I first talked to Varsity Tutors I was skeptical because it's online. However, I decided to…read moretry it because it was webinar based and my class was small (3 people, eventually 2). I got a very flexible instructor Marcela from Mexico City currently residing in the Midwest to teach Spanish. She had such a jovial disposition and a good understanding of not just her native language and culture but ours. She pointed out what words or phrases no one uses and easier ways to say things. We wrote, we spoke, we learned. I'd love to do it again. I just hope my instructor is Marcela. The next person has very big shoes to fill. The courses are twice a week for an hour and a half for 8 weeks. They're fun but there is no syllabus and your learning is catered to you not a piece of paper.
