The good thing is that it's an updated theatre and they have a good rewards program. Recently they have gone cashless so keep that in mind. You purchase tickets inside the theatre doors at a kiosk station. They closed the walk up booth outside. They also have a small arcade inside. The food is standard movie options but they do sell daiquiris as well. Nice recliner seats and the theater has always been clean when we go.

My kids (3.5 and almost 2, both boys) have been attending MAS for the past 6 months. They are very…read moredifferent kids, so we looked at a lot of different preschools and daycares before deciding that MAS was the right fit for both of them. My oldest is very social, verbal and musical. But he has really struggled with fine and gross motor skills, and he gets frustrated easily when his body won't do what his mind wants. At his previous preschool, they did a lot of teacher led crafts, and while he was having fun, he wasn't really engaging with the materials. Here, they use a lot of manipulatives, which has helped him practice hand-eye coordination while introducing him to abstract concepts, like basic math and letters. He's getting better at daily tasks too, like cleaning, dressing, and tidying up. He's a social butterfly, so the large mixed-age groups seem to really be his thing. Sometimes when I come to pick him up, he tells me to come back later because he wants to spend more time with his friends and his "nice teachers." My younger son is more of an introvert. He is not very verbal, but he's been talking more since going to MAS because he wants to communicate with his teachers and friends. The teachers read a lot to him, and he can even read a few words now. He can also do some one-digit addition, which was a surprise when he started chiming in on his brother's math practice. Every day when I pick him up, he says "A good day, mama!" and he's so happy. They spend a lot of time outdoors. The playground for the older kids is very nice and spacious, but the one for the little kids is much smaller. Still, it is nice to know that they are getting lots of movement throughout the day. Sometimes they eat lunch outside too if the weather is nice. Most of all, I've noticed that they are much more independent. I set up their toy room at home using the same kind of open shelves and trays that they use at MAS, and they put their materials back on the shelves without me even telling them to do anything. Part of the curriculum includes "grace and courtesy" in which they practice manners and being nice to one another, so that's been a big help when normal sibling disputes arrive. The downside is the cost. I do appreciate that there is a small sibling discount, but it is still more than my mortgage. However, I attribute that to the cost of quality Montessori materials, teacher and staff training and professional development, and the fact that MAS is fully accredited by the Louisiana Montessori Association (LMA). As a school policy attorney, I know that this accreditation system has its own unique set of legal guidelines, which is different from other school accreditation/teacher certification systems. It's a pretty high bar. Another thing to be aware of is that the program is highly structured. Think freedom within limits. The children are expected to follow certain routines and adhere to a sense of order. It helps to implement some of their processes at home so that there is consistency whether they are at home or at school. And at the end of the day, my children are happy, and that's all I really wanted.

We enrolled our children at this Montessori school hoping for an authentic, engaging, and…read moresupportive educational environment. Our experience over the last two months has been deeply disappointing, raising serious concerns regarding educational delivery, student safety, and basic service provision.We observed no measurable educational progress in our children over a two-month period. Beyond the stagnation, we found a fundamental disconnect in the philosophy. While the school heavily promotes "independence" and self-directed learning, this was highly limited. The expectation was that students perform activities in a highly structured manner dictated strictly on the school's terms, which undermined the very concept of following the child's independent interest.The school is wholly unequipped to support children with special needs. We found a significant absence of necessary resources, formal accommodations, or even a basic understanding of inclusive education practices. Staff demonstrated a concerning lack of patience and specialized care required for children needing extra support.The combined primary and pre-primary class features a large number of children. This heavy ratio means that any child requiring extra individual attention or one who is prone to overstimulation will struggle significantly in this environment. The school demonstrated a critical failure in communication regarding student safety. We were not immediately informed of an incident where our daughter was bitten. We only found out after she told us, and the staff then confirmed the incident after the fact. Timely and transparent communication on safety is non-negotiable and was absent here.It is apparent that not all teachers are certified in the Montessori curriculum. We observed that at least one long-term staff member could not articulate the foundational "why" behind core Montessori practices, indicating a lack of basic pedagogical understanding.Cleaning was an observable issue within the classroom bathroom.Despite the tuition, the school frequently engaged in additional fundraising efforts specifically to purchase basic Montessori educational materials for the classroom. It is unreasonable to charge a premium price and then require parents to fund the core equipment necessary for the school's claimed educational model. No breakfast or lunch was provided as part of the program also. We strongly urge parents--especially those with children who require additional attention, have special needs, or who expect professional standards of communication and staffing--to seek alternative educational settings. Our decision to withdraw was based on the lack of teaching, insufficient resources, and serious operational deficiencies.

This event has improved a lot. When I went their first year, they had all the trucks/booths…read moreclustered in a single area. The result was chaos: lines overlapping, crowds that were hard to navigate through, and surround-sound noise from generators making it nearly impossible to hear one another. I'm happy to say they've fixed all that. The trucks and booths are spread out now, surrounding the Harbor Center building in a semi-circle. This helps spread out the lines, crowds, and noise. There's a wide variety of food on offer, so there's something for everyone. Prices range from about $7-12 for a meal, which is pretty reasonable. Inside the Harbor Center is live music and craft/goodie booths. It feels slightly disjointed/cut off from the rest of the festival - I didn't even go inside - but I guess there's not much they can do about that. Overall this is a nice Slidell/north shore event. Worth checking out.

This is honestly the best dance studio in Slidell. My daughter began dance at Laurie Maffei's…read moreDanceworks Studio right before she turned 2 years old. She's now 8 years old and starting her 4th year on the studio's competitive dance team. The amount of growth I've seen with my child alone is unbelievable.

Whether you're looking for recreational dance class or competitive dance- this studio has it all.

I started to notice signs of unfair treatment amongst the brown girls, while I should have mentioned it earlier I didn't until it happened to my daughter! She would constantly get ignored and was shown aggressive behaviour/body language by one of the cheer teachers. I have zero tolerance for unwarranted disrespect towards my daughter. It would actually hurt her feelings and when she hurts I hurt. She's only 6, she nor any of the other kids of color who attend Danceworks of Slidell deserve to be treated this way. She is my love, I'm her advocate , and I will no longer keep my silence! I'm sick and tired of my daughter being treated less than fair because of the color of her skin! I pay my hard earned money just like everyone else for her to attend this class! I emailed Dancework to see if we could talk about it but I received no response , I was ignored ! It was heavy on my heart so unfortunately this is what it had to result to! Parents, if you're Ok with your precious little brown princesses or princes for that matter being treated less than fair because of the color of there skin then by all means go ahead allow your kid to attend but we been dealing with injustices for tooooo long! All children should be treated fairly! DON'T TAKE A CHANCE , TAKE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ELSEWHERE! There are other establishments that will treat your child with respect, dignity and with gladness!
