We met Lea and she was wonderful. She had a cute little shop at her house/garage. LOTS of things to pick from. Oils, herbs etc She asked what I wanted in a body butter and decided what would be best. I made one that helps sorb anxiety and PTSD, and my husband did an acne body butter for our son. We picked our base (Tucuma) and our add on oils. We measured our our tucuma, add on oils, put in the freezer and then wiped and added our oils. It was so fun and she sent us home with directions how to make it at home. Would highly recommend and we plan to take another place to learn sugar scrubs or something similar! Oh and she had the cutest puppy, Kobe!!!!!!

The BEST school we have found since moving to Raleigh. The teachers (not just the ones assigned to…read moreyour child) truly love and care about the children and helping them remain and enjoy these precious years of childhood. Unfortunately Covid hit, however the school remained dedicated to staying open for the children. No fault of the school, but for our son, he was struggling outdoors due to a medical condition. My husband, the year ended was worried over a permanent location being established in time and missing other deadlines. The hardest decision I ever made was to leave this lovely school and community, for an "indoor school" I wanted to hear my child's request, yet I knew in my heart what they had built is one of a kind. He and our family have since regretted this decision. Well, the school did it as i knew they would. They found a permanent building. They are also growing continuously year after year as I knew they would. But we could not get out of our contract. If you want your child truly loved, educated, and cared for: mind, body and spirit THIS is your school. The teachers are VERY well educated with post bachelor degrees. , most importantly, dedicated to your child individually. The school is ran by one of the most caring, highly educated and compassionate individuals as well. Love, education, individuality, and family are so important to this school. It has taken my husband 3 years and 2 Different schools of watching our son suffer immensely through bullying, cruelty from teachers, and schoolwork not being developmentally appropriate from so called other top private schools. He now has "seen the light" so to speak and knows he allowed his lack of understanding Waldorf education and the growing of the school. It was during a major life crisis in our family and admittedly I should have fought harder for our son to stay. . And we left the most perfect school there is around this city. Was my husband educated on the Waldorf way? No and it worried him. Now he understands that our child was loved and happy while receiving an amazing, one of a kind, Waldorf education. His conservative views of what "school" should be like, was crushed as we were enrolled in one of the "typical" sought after private schools. Then came one of highly recommended private Christian schools. Neither of which can compare at ALL to enriching and educating..most of all, truly loving our son. We were undeserving of the love and support extended to our family from the head of this school and teachers. Although we were no longer enrolled, they still extended love to our family! Parents..PLEASE trust you're gut! And come with an open mind If new to the Waldorf experience. Partners, support the parent of your child please if they know this is the right school. It is! This is by far the most well rounded private school there is in and around Raleigh where you can rest assured your child is being educated in a loving way and protected. As a mother I am forever grateful for our time here and now that hearts and minds have opened I hope there will one day be space there again for our children! Don't make the mistake of the different experience a Waldorf school has to other private schools. For this is the gift that make this school the most valuable treasures to entrust your most beloved children in

We have had the best experience with Raleigh Swim School for over a year and a half. What impressed…read moreus the most with the coaches is how much training they've had and how they understand their students' needs. Their priority is teaching swim safety. My daughter is taught by Coach Katya and she has so much patience with her! We've also had the pleasure to work with Coach Lindsey and other coaches. My daughter just enjoys coming to her lessons. We also have a toddler who is just starting lessons and each week she's starting to enjoy being in the water. When we found out they were going to have summer camp this year (2024), we were ecstatic! We thought we would only try 1 week. We ended up doing 4 weeks! They do not only do swimming. Each week there's a theme and they do activities and projects based on that theme. My daughter loved the Olympics and sharks week themes. She even taught us a few things: she was able to recognize what a whale shark looks like and she told us that each circle on the Olympic ring represent continents! Hoping they have swim camp again next year! Lastly, they recently moved to a facility that is a remarkable improvement from their previous one. There's a waiting area and also a family room (great for those who have little toddlers waiting for their sibling to finish lessons). There's a family shower room so it is easy for my husband and I to change our toddler and older daughter after lessons.

Weeks later we still don't have them and when my husband calls and asks he gets a different answer every time. I urge you to take your children elsewhere, the only reason this place gets good reviews is because they have negative ones deleted.
