The course does a great job of integrating modern COVID/phone/web/social media topics, as well as all the classic essentials/dining/posture/eye contact & introductions, etc. It helps teens practice practical skills & understand what manners are all about--feeling comfortable in any situation & setting others at ease through courtesy & respect. Highly recommend!

She really knows her material and has a lot of great backstory as how the traditions we have in modern business came to be. Arden has a calm, positive and kind manner, very poised.

I love their approach, the staff, the 4-day plan to achieve the camp goals. It is fun because of the camp culture, coach and the content. The staff if very encouraging and work closely to build their confidence by rewarding them for their efforts. My girls love how they are welcomed each year with scarfs and special grasshopper bag on the 1st day. It is truly empowering as it gives an opportunity to students to speak in front of unknown audience and improve their public speaking skills. The kids are looking forward to practicing their speech in front of mirrors every day because Ms.Susan said so !!! This pretty much says it all !!!

My daughter not only gained valuable creative writing tips, but also had the opportunity to play a leadership role during the class. She was proud of her finished product: a published book!

Thanks Grasshopper, for delivering an engaging class that meshed well with our online distance learning protocol!

If you need an expert to help you understand your strengths and opportunities as a firearm handler, Clark is who you want teaching and coaching you. His balanced and relentlessly positive approach teaches you the technical aspects of firearm handling and enables you to feel confident, even as a novice shooter. He understands how to work on one thing at a time and help you progress through the procedures to a point of competency. I took his CCW class today. Knowing I have a LOT of practice needed to gain command of proper techniques, I'm already more confident in CCW because I understand the context and procedure to concealed carry and the optimal approach. Now it's time to practice, practice, practice and perfect. Thank you Clark!

Our infant daughter has been attending the SIDC for a few months now and we have only great things…read moreto say about it. She's always happy to see her teachers in the morning, and we love that kids in the infant room get a lot of attention thanks to the low student-teacher ratio (3:1, better than most daycares we toured). The kids are going on field trips very often, including a weekly trip to the Central Library for story time. Lastly, we really like that it's a non-profit and that our tuition goes to fund the education of our daughter, not to enrich shareholders.

I walked in the door and immediately felt a sense of warmth, community, and love. Many of the teachers have been there for decades, and all of them are deeply dedicated to the growth and happiness of the kids in their care. This isn't just a way to make ends meet. It's their passion. In addition, extended hours and limited closures are great for working parents, and the center has a large courtyard playground where older kids can run around, build blocks, ride bikes, do "water play" on hot summer summer days, etc. With just one class per age group, the center is small enough that everyone knows my son's name and greets him warmly as he goes about his day. I highly recommend!

Very well organized day which left a favorable impression. Then the epic C19 pandemic happened which essentially robbed him of the latter half of his junior year and all of his senior year of high school. The joys of the college application process. Fast forward to 2021: The Homie accepted his DigiPen offer. Yesterday evening I had a 75 minute Zoom meeting for DigiPen parents. This morning (8/25/21), I dropped him off on campus for orientation. His first semester starts next Monday 8/30/21. I am excited about the next chapter of him starting college, but tempered and grounded in reality. Following his dream will be full of challenges with a rigorous curriculum. Also tuition is exorbitant! His commute between home and campus is not great. I will start with a three star post with a bonus one for pandemic challenges. A future updated post will be made depending on the his personal journey. In the meantime this parent and UW-Seattle grad will celebrate his start at DigiPen, go Dragons!

The Orchards Childcare and Preschool is better than I could have imagined a childcare center could…read morebe. I currently have my two children enrolled at the Orchards. I am particularly impressed with how the caregivers and teachers take a genuine interest in the progress and lives of each of the children in their class. Whenever I've had questions, the Orchards Director has been easy to reach and prompt in her responses. The classrooms have been recently renovated and are kept clean. There is a good variety of age appropriate and safe toys in all of the classrooms. Security is well maintained with video monitoring, keypad access to facilities and fenced outdoor play areas. I love the phone application that they use for the secure check in and out procedure, as well as the photo updates throughout the day. Their Junior Kindergarten class is quite robust in its educational curriculum. The lead Junior Kindergarten teacher has been teaching young students for over 20 years, I believe. I'm honestly impressed at the progress my four year old has made behaviorally and educationally. They also have done a great job at offering events throughout the year. Kids Christmas program, picture days, Easter egg hunts, "pumpkin patch" etc. I couldn't recommend the Orchards more.
