This school has educated a couple of generations of Salemites now. It's run by a wonderful family…read morefrom Sri Lanka. Head teacher Shanti, her husband and one of their sons, along with another teacher who was a former parent at the school herself. The kids truly learn.....academics, nature, compassion, character...... It's a wonderful option to have your kids be able to stay enrolled during their "kindergarten" year so as to have a true "full day" kindergarten rather than the typical half-day. Our son has thrived there the past two years and never complains of being "bored" as he used to do. He's learned to read and write and count and more. Once a week they have Japanese culture and language lessons and they grow to love their Japanese teacher. Several times a year they put on programs where all the students sing and dance, learning various cultures, languages, and styles along the way. The interaction of this school and our own efforts have been completely in sync and we will be sad to leave them but are truly grateful for the solid foundation they have helped give our child.

They have two wonderful teachers and other teacher's aides that help run this amazing Montessori school. They focus on letting the child explore their interests and encourage them in their learning. Your child can start here as early as 2.5 years old if they are 90% potty trained (very few accidents. The cost of this school is less than some other Montessori schools around and the quality of learning and teaching is awesome. My daughter has absorbed so much in the few months she has been there. They offer half day or full day preschool and kindergarten, plus before and after care at a very minimal fee! They do field trips twice a year, and do a craft and show and tell on Fridays. I can't begin to truly express how great this place is!

If you are lucky enough to find out when the South Salem Culinary Arts Program has their "Bistro…read moreNight" you will be in for a real foodie treat. What waits for you is a fixed price menu of several courses designed by Chef and the South Salem HS Culinary students. I have had the pleasure of dining in what can truly be one of Salem's best dining experience on two separate occasions. Both times the Menu included two entrees, two desserts and creative starters, soups and salads. The best part of the dining experience is that you can be your own "Iron Chef" judge and provide useful feedback to the students on each course. If you like a "Chef's Table" experience where you are part of the foodie learning process then this is it! The servers are the students themselves which so far has translated into an impeccable level of service. I am looking forward to the next time. I would rather keep this an underground secret, but something this fun needs to be shared. Keep up the good work!

I went to this school three times now for services. First two times were wonderful. This last time…read moreI went I was there for six hours for a mini partial highlight and a haircut, there were so many questionable things that happened. One of which was the student bleached my hair and left three inches or more of roots? Then, didn't apply the toner when I asked about it at the wash bowl, took me back to her chair and combed my untoned hair for 30 minutes with a fine tooth comb. Then, took me back to the bowl to tone and re-comb my hair. It was just weird and unlike anything I've experienced. I understand they're learning here, but the fact an instructor wasn't concerned I was there for so long was sooo alarming. I stayed an hour past close while all the students and instructors run out of the building. I would've been understanding if my hair turned out what I was kinda expecting, but my roots are still really dark and it's not blended well. It's mind blowing they didn't wonder what this girl was doing for six hours. I tried calling to have a teacher call me back and no one has called. Apparently I have to go back in and have it evaluated. I would just stay away if this is how they're gonna treat clients. School or not, don't make people struggle on their own or wait six hours for a service.

She came back crying before she even started my hair. The teacher told her she wouldn't help her!! This girl then started on my hair and tries 3 more times to get this teachers help! Still the teacher refuses!! My hair ended up having som much that just detached because the bleach had gone too far, it looked like I was a poodle getting a hair cut cause that's how much fell...the toner wasn't working properly for her, she couldn't figure out how to help my hair! She asked for help from her teacher (who's named Madison) and was refused! She is a freaking TEACHER! That's literally her job! Yet all she cared to do from 10am-5pm was talk to 4 other student girls like they were besties... she basically made a student to fail on my hair! That's wrong and I'm pissed beyond belief! I really want this Madison lady FIRED! Idk how it'd work in this field but she shouldn't even be allowed to have her license after this crap! I had to walk out of the salon with toner still in my hair because I was late to picking up my son... and she had tried everything she could in her knowledge and it wasn't reacting nicely for her... I can't blame the student because she tried even after the teacher was blatantly rude like that. My hair still isn't toned properly, I lost so much hair, and I have a crazy amount of breakage.

Jody Gonzalez was absolutely amazing! Not only was she a great instructor, I left feeling very…read moreconfident in myself because of the way she taught the class. The last time I received my certification (years ago), I couldn't even remember what was taught after leaving! Jody made you feel comfortable with anything you needed guidance on, no matter the question! The environment you're in is also very comfortable and organized! Such a unique place! I highly recommend this instructor, especially if you want to walk out with the feeling of knowing what to do in an emergency situation I'm not one to go out of my way to write reviews, but strongly felt a need to reccomend this place/instructor due to my experience I had. This type of experience is very important when it comes to BLS training! Thank you Jody Gonzalez!

My $11,000.00 machine never worked right and I could not get good service until Judy at Keizer Bernina Stretch and Sew adopted me. She finally got my 830 running perfectly after many months and all new parts and computer boards. I have since upgraded my 830 to an 880 and purchased a 560 for my grandson to sew on. I would NEVER take a Bernina sewing machine anywhere else. Classes and training on both the machine and learning the software are fantastic. As they say "your not just purchasing a machine, you are purchasing the service as well". So be careful where you buy your machines from. I highly recommend Keizer Bernina Stretch and Sew in Keizer, Oregon.

Despite the world's current state of pandemic, the instructors and leadership team are working ever so hard to create a new way of learning through social distancing and virtual education.

Nurses are needed now and will be even more in the future. I give IOT five stars today for the growth that has occurred in the last couple months and in foresight of what is happening currently, to better the community and the medical field, change lives, and grow students into competent, capable, professionals who will provide safe and conscientious patient care.
