Growing up in Long Island and living in Queens I never knew how the NYC has Specialty High Schools…read more Our zoned" High School was not safe. Taylor is extremely talented in the fine arts she loves to draw. While my friends were sending their kids to test prep for High School entrance exams. I was searching for the perfect Art Studio and Mentor for my daughter to build her portfolio. Once her pieces were completed she then applied to her top 3 NYC DOE Specialty High Schools. Her 1st choice High School of Art & Design, 2nd Frank Sinatra & her 3rd choice was Laguardia High School. In March! We wouldn't know if she got in until mid June. In the meantime we applied to Saint Frances Preparatory School AP Art Honors Program with the same portfolio and she got accepted! I knew she was safe for her back up High School if she wasn't accepted. I have to say finding Rob Zeller at The Teaching Studios of Art was the best thing I ever did for Taylor. He helped her focus and taught her the techniques she needed to fine tune her portfolio. For her Still Life piece throughout the entire process from the Pencil Sketch to transforming it into the most amazing oil painting. On June 8th we were going to find out if she got accepted to one of her 3 choices. My husband and I were in suspense with Taylor as we were checking to see if she got in. I was an amazing feeling seeing that she got accepted to a Specialty High School in NYC. But, she got into her first choice High School of Art & Design in Manhattan! Honestly, if it wasn't for Robert Zeller and his Art Studio in The Village of Oyster Bay, who could say more! I don't know where we would be. We signed up for the In Person Private Art Classes. She had 1 on 1 teaching and loved being their to paint. I am extremely grateful that I found The Teaching Studios and proud of all that Taylor was accomplish with Rob by her side. I can't wait for them to start working on her college portfolio for The School of Visual Arts! I know she will get in with Rob as her Mentor. Thank you. If your looking to build your portfolio for High School or College look no further.

Rob Zeller is not only a gifted artist but also a master teacher. He is excellent at assessing students strengths and weaknesses- the perfect combination to encourage and guide artists to their full potential. Small classes sizes enable Rob to devote personal attention to each student as he moves them to the next skill level. Personally, I have been taking classes here for number of years and am now in the Figurative Core Program. This traditional in-depth art program builds on drawing skills to move onto painting. Not only are we fine honing our abilities, Rob is also mentoring our personal projects and guiding us into being able to work independently.

As a forner commuting student at CW POST, both undergraduate and graduate school, I feel I entered…read morethe professional world with many tools that allowed my career path(s) to develop and progress throughout the years. But setting aside for a moment what a Long Island University degree means in the working world, the simple experiences I had enjoyed as a student will stay with me forever. The majority of the teachers and department heads that really took a genuine interest in each student that was willing to show up for classes, take the exams and submit the necessary assigned assignments. The Newman Group where we prepared food for the poor and I drove the LIU van into Manhattan to distribute them and many other such acts of charitable giving. Having been to many NY campuses at other Universities, CW POST really is one of the top in terms of nature, architecture and working with the land. The 330 acres that were given to LIU by the POST family, yes the cereal people which now is a part of Kraft have some of the most impressive buildings in the uber wealthy community of Old Brookille. Marjorie POST was married to E.F. Hutton, remember him? "When E.F. Hutton speaks, people listen" it was a catch phrase for the E.F. Hutton Investment banking service which to my knowledge exists. Lorber Hall where many of the accounting classes occur have a nonfunctional fireplace in each classroom. With so many more examples I will not list it is worth a trip to walk the arboretum which has such a variety ot trees, or the nature maze and the semi newly erected Pratt Center. Even Gary Winnick even has a building names after him, anyone remember Global Crossing? (additional information to be posted along with photos soon)

I sent both my girls to Ready Set Grow (both camp and school) and we had such a wonderful time. In…read moremy opinion, it was the perfect place for their first time school experience. What really drew me in was their small class sizes and rotational system (the classes travel from room to room- with each room being a specific content or theme). The staff is truly exceptional (and as a teacher myself, I had very high expectations). They communicated clearly and consistently, provided a loving and safe environment and handled the separation blues professionally (which really makes a huge difference at this age!). I was also genuinely impressed with their curriculum and how much they did. My girls still talk about how much they loved RSG!

I don't feel safe leaving my toddler for camp here. I do NOT recommend this place.

I attended Notre Dame from 1987-1996, Kindergarten to 8th grade. Some of the warmest memories I…read morehave of childhood were formed there. A small school, there were only maybe 25 students in our class, and very little turnover, so it provided nice continuity and the ability to establish close friendships for 9 years. The building and classrooms were well maintained. Of course, back in that stone age there was not as much emphasis on computers, so I can't speak to the resources they have today in that area. I very much enjoyed my teachers, and the quality of the education was decent, although I would say it was severely lacking in STEM resources, music, and athletic programs. This may have changed. Although it was a Catholic school, non-Catholic students attended, which might have been difficult for them given that there is a big connection between the school and the church which adjoins it--lots of masses, sacramental preparation, etc. Even though I am not Catholic, I thought that the discussions about morality that took place in the school gave me a strong ethical orientation which I appreciate. As far as the student body, it was not diverse, but at the time the area wasn't very diverse, so hopefully more integration has taken place since then. All this to the side, as a child I loved this school, and I now have a PhD, so maybe loving school is the most important thing.

I have been taking my BLS classes with CPR123 - Mineola for the past couple of years. The classes…read moreare suitable for both healthcare providers as well as non healthcare providers. They have several NY locations (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau, Suffolk) but I've only taken the Mineola ones as the times and location worked for me each time. I've had different instructors each class (all with healthcare backgrounds) but all of them were great. The class I took recently was with Paul. He was very knowledgeable and presented the information in a way that wasn't boring. Classrooms are clean with AC and working mannequins (they have lights that show if you're doing compressions correctly). There are also bathrooms available but I did not use them. You can book classes via their website or by calling them directly. I have done both with no issues. The staff at the front desk have always been pleasant. They will send you a confirmation email with more instructions so make sure you read that because if you're using GPS, it says to put Mineola and not Garden City. When I took my class, we were allowed to park on levels 1 and 3 marked for visitors. Check your email though in case that changes. Parking was free and plentiful. My class was on a weekday at 12:30pm. I've done all in person classes because I learn best that way so I can't comment on the online classes. I think with the online classes though you still have to come in to do the hands on portion. Once class is finished, you should receive the ecard within an hour or 2. If not, call them. Mine for some reason took 2 days but I didn't need it in a hurry. Cons: 1. There is no difference if you're doing an initial class or renewing. They used to have this option (renewal was cheaper and less time) but maybe it's just easier to have initial/renewal as the same. 2. There weren't much day and time options for the locations I was checking out (Mineola and Huntington) for July. It was either 8:30am or 12:30pm start. It would have been nice if they had some later start times or more weekend classes.

Registration is super easy, now there's no difference between first time certification and renewal which is great. In the era of covid, I opted to use the Mineola site for the first time and it was nice. Parking lot available with limited spots but there is also metered street parking as well. Cali was the instructor and I've had prior classes with her, she's fantastic and keeps things straight forward. The 3-4 hour class flew by! Have also had classes with Mike and he was superb! They all have tons of experience in emergency resuscitation. I have been to the Forest Hills and Manhattan locations also- however parking bites and I usually take the subway but I do not want to take public transport to get there until covid is more controlled. Learn to save a life with CPR123!

All the actors are Adults (playing kids rolls) As in this noted production. A first for us, and a brief questioning of um confusion in seeing, an older gentleman playing the High School all around jock. Ahh I get it (after it was explained to me!) All nicely done, very entertaining, much comradery, appreciation and thank yous said and a particularly high energy spirit in the audience. (see pix) Seems that the lead performer was hospitalized for needed heart surgery and the stand in did so on short notice performed beautifully. They even had a collection for the Heart association. The evening before, on Friday there were some different actors and performers and crew putting on the show. Some were in the audience on Saturday. One young man named Joe, along with friends, sat behind us and were doing the dance moves. Others in the audience were clapping, and cheering their approval with much positive energy. Seeing it all and taking it in, it was a refreshing change and overall, it was, FUN.
