However, I love the school regardless even if they are taking every dime I have to give me another edu'maction (I am sure that would make my professors proud). After doing a BA and a MS here - I have ventured back for another MS degree and now a regular at this campus. This location is so easy to get to - the classes are comfortable - and there's a coffee shop on the main floor open until 7 PM. The staff have been super friendly while I work to find my way around or need a jump for my car because my battery died. At least they always make me feel "special" given the amount of money I am investing in myself and their institution.

Parking is available and easy once you locate Building III, where the Professional Education Center is located. The second floor classrooms have pleasant views of trees and greater Austin. The building is fairly quiet - you hear a bit of road noise from Hwy 183 and occasionally hear voices from the neighboring classroom. The lab computers in room 203 were modern Dell workstations - 16 GB RAM, 3.5 Ghz processors, and dual monitors.

While I can't post about what it's like to go to college at UT (Austin), I can post about experiences I've had. The school which was founded in 1883 is recognized as a top college in the country. It often falls under the category of "the new Ivy League". I have been on campus for everything from protests, the annual Longhorn run, college & alumni-affiliated events, strolling the campus, and a few other things. It has always been a wonderful experience. Faculty, staff, and students alike all boasting their Longhorn pride. Hook 'Em Horns!!! What an extraordinarily beautiful campus for strolling from the lush greens to incredible architecture that's also stood the test of time. Sculptures and artwork adorn the campus throughout, there's always something new to see. Sunday strolls around the campus grounds are one of my favorite things to do.

Whether it's COVID related or space related, there needs to be a locker available to all test takers for this location. This policy is not accessible to everyone because not everyone has a car to leave their stuff in. This confrontation between test takers and staff creates an uncomfortable environment right before taking a major exam that we paid for. Besides this rule only being able to apply to people with vehicles, if this rule was placed due to COVID, it contradicts itself. I was told I could not even bring my phone and have it safely held while testing. I do not have a car so I take an Uber/Lyft to the testing center. A smart phone is required to order these ride services. I was told by the staff that they offer their phone for calling rides but 1) I do not use taxi services (nobody does anymore) and 2) this contradicts your COVID policies if we are using a "public" phone shared between many people. **Edit/Updated on 4/23/21** I've contacted them and they will now store your personal items.

While I was very intimidated to attend myself, I decided to go with him, and maybe learn something. Was I in for a surprise. Ben has organized this class for the most naive. He has meticulously laid out this experience, so that even folks like myself can find success and have a blast doing it. Not only did we learn about the different scents, their origins, and how they get extracted, but how they interact, or not, together. Our group ended up all leaving with one of a kind scents. I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed Ben's class, and just how much I am enjoying wearing the scent I made. I highly recommend this experience to everyone!!

As a parent of young children, I primarily rely on the good word and referrals from other parents…read morewhen it comes to care and school for my kids. At the height of Delta infections, I was seeking a new school for my toddlers. All the schools I knew of in my area did not have openings. It was the first time since my kids were born I relied solely on a brief tour, and the listed childcare license at the TX department of human services website to enroll my kids at GAP-PLC. Therefore, I'm writing a review for any other parents looking to enroll their kids at this school given there are no online reviews available. I will start with what we appreciated about this school. My spouse and I are avid community members and both work in the social services field. So when we read the mission of GAP-PLC we were excited about what they were building and providing for the Austin community. The tuition for GAP-PLC is also incredibly affordable and they also provide 3 meals a day which was very convenient for busy parents. Her website says the children need to be 3 and above to attend. Our children were under 3 and the owner was flexible in allowing our twins to still enroll. When our children were scared after reading the Three Little Bears, she bought them stuffed animal bears to help them navigate their fears. Lastly, the school's policy requires all children to wear collared shirts, she gave us two as a donation since we didn't have any on hand. Unfortunately, many aspects of the school did not work for our family. Once we started, we received written notice about something that was wrong almost every week. The notices were always very formal and were not prompted by any informal discussion. This type of communication felt very rigid, cold, and transactional in nature. Not the type of communication we are used to or expected from a school that is working to build strong relationships with parents. Second, these 'written notices' were about what our children were not doing right by the school's standards. In these notices, we were told that our children were not acting in a way that was developmentally appropriate for GAP-PLC (not going to the bathroom as self-sufficient students and not communicating during circle time). Our children were 2.5 years old. Instead of recognizing where our children were at developmentally (which was incredibly normal for their age), GAP-PLC informed us that if our kids did not comply they would be kicked out of the school. I can't force my kids to wipe themselves when they physically don't have the dexterity to do so and I can't force them to talk in a space where they don't want to. The final straw was when she sent us a written notice inappropriately labeling our children as selectively mute and was going to separate our twins from each other and put them on a behavior plan. Fortunately, we are actually mental health professionals who knew our children were not mute in any way (but other parents may have accepted this unqualified and misdiagnosis as truth) and were incredibly frustrated with how inappropriate this entire exchange was. It is in my years of experience in social policy that education performance being driven by test scores is what actually furthers inequities in our education system, which would be the antithesis of GAP-PLC's mission. When we expressed our genuine concern over the phone with the owner of the school, she emailed us the next morning saying our children had to leave the school. Fortunately, she did say we could finish out the month while we found a new place. I was so angry I wanted to just pull them out, but our daughters did enjoy the school and we really had no other options at the time. We lasted six weeks and the entire experience left us hurt and stressed. Luckily, we found a school right in our neighborhood that our children were able to enroll into quickly. Within days, the owners noted how brilliant our children were and how much they talked at school. It's just a reminder that your kids will thrive in a place that is developmentally appropriate and safe for them.
