Thanks to the career advisor team, I was able to get a job in Medical Billing before I graduated , they really helped guide me in the right direction and were supportive throughout.

Nothing against the instructor at all. I overall had a good experience with the way I was taught…read more We had a small classroom so everyone talked to each other and helped everyone out. We had Miss Robin. Amazing teacher, really did help us out and answered all of our questions. She worked hard to help us and her main goal which she mentioned many times was to help us PASS. Which all of us in her class did, with almost perfect marks. Only issue was with primavera. Last day which was our exam day. She was quite rude. Having people come in and out WHILE everyone was taking our final exam. Speaking loudly, and after talking to classmates, everyone was unhappy and thought it was inconsiderate. We deserve a quiet place to do our exam, we all found it hard to concentrate. Not only that but when I had politely asked if we could do the second half of the review for this course after we all finished our exam, she rudely responded. I was being polite. Thats why I found it even harder to have sympathy. We all collectively agreed she was being rude and had been even on our first initial encounter INDIVIDUALLY (when we signed contracts, forms, etc). Also, a lot of supplies and I mean a LOT of supplies ran out the last two weeks. The very last week we didn't even have gloves in Small or Medium sizes. I'm understanding that this is a larger class than they have previously had, but you should be prepared. We all paid good money and we couldn't even practice our draws properly BECAUSE we did not have gloves, ran out of butterfly needles, and much much more.

This school has been absolutely amazing for my three-year-old daughter!! We recently moved here and…read moretried another school that was just not a good fit. After talking with Elizabeth, the school's director, I felt so peaceful and excited about the school's vision for teaching, and their approach to child lead learning. My daughter has thrived at school! She is a highly spirited, very vocal, and a quite lively child, and she gets everything she needs and more. They have a large outdoor classroom that they utilize every day, that lets children learn through play, and movement, which is so appropriate for their developmental stages. She is already learning math, and doing very well picking up Spanish. It has taught her independence, and build her confidence, and ability to self regulate. I cannot say enough great things about the school's approach to learning! Then there are the teachers, who are some of the nicest people we've met here in Santa Maria. They are patient, they talk to my daughter with respect and kindness. Every time I pick her up, I see teachers down on the kids levels, teaching them, and helping them to solve their own problems between one another. Whenever I ask, they are so quick to share positives that they see in my daughter, and ways she is improving (along with ways that they are helping overcome obstacles that are unique to her in the classroom). I cannot say enough good things. I was recommended through a mom I met at Trader Joe's, and have recommended the school to several of my friends, one of which has recently enrolled her daughter, and is in love with the school too.

I am the father of a 4 1/2 year old preschool student who was recently expelled/kicked out. I write…read morethis review because no child should be punished for their parents speaking up regarding the health of their own child. How did a simple request regarding keeping my child inside on a cold and wet day escalate to an expulsion? Our main concern was the fear of having our child get sick that would increase the severity of her asthma resulting in us having to give her regular breathing treatments. The owner Elizabeth didn't agree with our request to keep her indoors on a wet day because she operates an outdoor Montessori school. So, I picked up my child on a cold and wet day and soon a flurry of text messages between my wife and Elizabeth resulted in Elizabeth soon determining that her school was no longer a good fit for my child. Take into consideration that all of this was by text message, the professional courtesy of a phone call or a sit down meeting to explain the situation and work together to find a mutual solution NEVER took place. As a parent in Santa Maria finding a preschool is tough enough and the last thing we want to do is criticize or question our childrens teachers. Flaws were always there yet we choose to look the other way. But, sometimes a culmination of flaws must be addressed. We often wondered why other parents were leaving the school. Now I am that other parent looking in and I am speaking up. Multiple lice outbreaks in 1 school year is unacceptable. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, I will be glad to explain in detail my experience at Casa dei Bambini. Zero stars!!!!

For this place, you checkin and pay at one place and walk 6 doors down to their barber shop. When I arrived, there was a wait. When they were ready for me, I took the chair and the student began his work. From time to time, the teacher came by and inspected his work. Sure, it took a bit longer but my cut looked good. Staff was friendly. I'll be back.
