    I have known Betsy for over a year and have seen the amazing job she has done with my nephew. She…read morehas helped an 11/12 year old learn how to deal with ADD and dyslexia. She is kind, patient and has some wonderful and creative ideas in helping him be organized and cope with middle school. She as been helping him for a while and I really feel he has come so far because of her. She ran a great camp last year and both my nephews 6 and 11, and my niece 9, loved it and learned so much. She employed some great teachers and they provided some fun and engaging activities. Like a CSI unit, science activities and fun creative activities. All while giving the children a fun and homey atmosphere. Each day homemade snacks were provided which the kids raved about.

This is key--not all kids learn the same thing the same way, but Mrs. Shader, a seasoned elementary-school vet who used to run Millbrae's GATE program (when we had one), draws from an arsenal of technique to help every kid get it--with kindness, encouragement, and one very tangible reward system. RevUps and summer camps are exceptionally well-organized, and professionally staffed. Clean, safe home (sanitizes work-space between sessions), and a clear parent-communicator. Both my daughters love learning because of her, and their report cards show it.

    My husband and I used College Nannies and Tutors from August 2014 through May 2015. When we first…read moresigned up it was owned by Charles, and during that time it was sold to Stacey. We had absolutely no problems with College Nannies and Tutors while it was owned by Charles. He was completely professional. Once it changed ownership, it was a different story. Stacey called us in May and let it slip that our Nanny was leaving to pursue a full time job. Our Nanny had asked her to wait so she could let us know personally, but clearly she wasn't interested it obliging. On that same phone call, she immediately got to her point - she didn't know how we had secured such a low rate with Charles ($15/hr), but that the new rate going forward would be $20 hr. Imagine, I'm just trying to digest the fact that we've lost our nanny, and now the owner of the agency wants to increase our new rate 30%. She also complained that $15 does not allow for her to make any money. I was stunned that she actually said that because I knew that they were only paying our nanny $9 an hour. Wow. I thought. She has a lot of nerve. I told her we would not be paying $20 a hour, especially to her, given how she handled the situation. In addition to the fiasco above, I received a $500 bill two months later for charges SIX months prior. I called her an asked for an explanation and she said we forgot to bill you. Seriously? My advice is to find another agency. Or, even better, find a nanny that you can pay directly - this way at least the person doing the work is actually getting paid. Run, don't walk, from College Nannies and Tutors.

    Parents beware…read more TLDR: The direct school administrative staff including Desiree and Kristina were not helpful and frankly were avoidant, dismissive, and uncaring about a resolution to the same concern. These two individuals are not fit to be in positions of directing a place for young children and families. Cadence Academy corporate were kind & helpful following a challenging situation. We chose Cadence, after months of researching & touring for our 3 month old son when I returned to work after maternity leave. On the first day of daycare at Cadence Academy we had the ability to see the classroom through video access and as an anxious, first time, parents, we watched as often as we were allowed to. Our son spent a significant amount of time in a bouncer. It appeared that he was given attention infrequently by the singular teacher in the classroom of several babies. We received a phone call asking if it was okay for our baby to sleep in the bouncer if he was comfortable. This was not something that we wanted, but as it was our first day at daycare, we were a little nervous about anything going wrong and felt that perhaps this was a helpful recommendation from a teacher in the classroom. Watching the video even longer our son appeared to spend about five hours in the bouncer and did not receive that much of an attempt at having a milk bottle across that time, which was disheartening. We were told that he refused the bottle from his teacher. When I asked Desiree why another teacher didn't attempt to feed our son the bottle she said, "we want him to get used to his teacher feeding him", as though feeding our 3 month old wasn't the priority. After a frustrating first day, we decided that it would be our son's last day as we felt that the teacher was not doing an adequate job of caring for our son, nor was the teacher following the guidelines of the handbook that we were made to read and sign. We spoke with the assistant director, Desiree, and let her know that we were withdrawing our son as we did not want to risk any potential harm or future bad days. Our son has been at a different daycare in town, which has been an absolute blessing. The kindness & attentiveness provided by the teachers at the new daycare and the administrative staff have been wonderful showing us that Cadence really had let us down with just one day at their facility. We thought that our time with Cadence was in the past. That was until we received a notice that we were sent to collections in June, an entire 8 months after we unenrolled our son. We called to speak with the Cadence administrative staff to inquire why we were in collections when we hadn't heard from them since we left in October. We were informed that we owed for the week that he was enrolled & we were also charged a $25 fee for not fulfilling the payment in the first place. The frustrating thing about this is that we were unaware of any outstanding bill. At NO point in time did Cadence Academy reach out to us to let us know that we had an outstanding bill as they had previously had all of our banking information to accept deposits and previous payments. They had our email, phone numbers, & mailing address but no notices or bills came. It took 2 weeks to finally get in touch with someone that could answer our questions (thank you Theresa). Kristina (director) & Desiree (assistant director) were beyond unhelpful. When we asked Desiree who they answered to, we were told "corporate" but weren't given any helpful leads as to who to speak with. Instead we were given the generalized Cadence Academy phone number- which is just a VM & after many calls & messages, not one was returned. It wasn't until we used the websites chatbot to access a live agent who was helpful enough to get us in contact with the regional director. The regional director was able to resolve our concern & pay us back the money (as it was agreed that none of this should have happened given the circumstances). The admin team at Cadence Academy OV should be under review for their inability to do their job effectively.

    Our son just started cadence and we are very happy with our decision. The staff are extremely…read morefriendly. I love all the cameras and daily updates it makes us feel very comfortable while away from our son. The meals are healthy and the activities are good for learning.

I take my three and half year old granddaughter here for Angelina Ballerina dance classes. Miss Marion, her instructor, is very experienced and a pleasure to work with. The kids, eight in her class, just love her. They have a camera in the studio so you can watch the kids dancing on a large screen TV. The cost is reasonable for a 45 minute session each week for a whole school year. There will be a recital at the end of the year. The receptionist is very friendly and helpful. We are completely satisfied, so far, with everything. Our granddaughter loves coming here and looks forward to dance class each week. We may take a music class too in the next couple of weeks. A basic music course for the 4-5 yr olds is some keyboards, some singing, and some other stuff.

The owner is a highly trained pianist and amazing teacher overall. She challenges her students and staff to equally excel with exceptional patience and seasoned guidance. Piano lessons at the Music & Dance Academy have enhanced my quality of life in many ways. My focus and ability to concentrate on complex material has dramatically improved from day one. Music lessons have increased my ability to focus while improving my dexterity. After practicing piano, I always feel more relaxed and proud of my accomplishments. There is no question, it's such a positive addition to your life.
