The center offered pizza, pastries and beverages for guest and speakers. I was really impressed with the talent that was showcased. The host of the show were youth and had a very welcoming presence. Youth were able to read / perform poems, short stories, essays and spoken word. There were all ages performing. Many of the kids said this was there first time performing or were nervous. The crowd was very respectful which swaps very encouraging. The ages for the event was 12 -18 if I recall correctly. The event lasted from 7:30 -9 pm. I think it's a very good event to bring your kids because it'll be something different and could be an enlightening and a good learning experience. Hopefully I'll be able to attend another night or if they have an adult night

I had a very negative experience with this place since the first time I stepped in the door. They…read moredon't inform you of anything. They look at you like you should already know the drill and what is expected. Even if it is your first time dropping your child off at a daycare center you are suppose to know everything. They don't show you were to put your kids items or where your child's stuff is going to be placed. They don't introduce themselves. They go through your diaper bags with infants and don't tell you anything until you come to pick up the child about not being able to have stuff in the diaper bag. And then when you pick it up the director talks to you like your stupid and your wasting his time over someone you had no idea about. Then they let your babies and I mean babies sit there and scream and cry because they are too busy to get off their butts to console your child. They are playing with the child that they want to play with. I've worked daycare before and they were clean but their is no compassion for your child when you walk in the door. It's just another thing of money coming in is all they care about.

I would recommend calling this company if you need to become Basic life support certified or are…read moreneeding any other health provider certification such as ACLS or PALs. The gentleman that owns the business is so kind and pleasant. He is very understanding of people who have to reschedule during our pandemic. Currently there is a $15 fee if you can't make your scheduled class time. I like that they offer classes on Saturdays. Their website makes it easy to sign up and they sell the updated BLS book version in class and online. Purchasing the book was not required for my class. The instructor was amazing and made the time feel like it flew by. Kathy was informative, funny and had a way of explaining things so that the information was easy to understand and retain. The classroom, mannequins and the ambu bags were clean. You are given the option of hands on practicing with the AED since there is only one machine for the entire class. Hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes were available. The classroom is fairy small but the chairs are spaced out for social distancing and masks are required. I look forward to taking my next certification at this establishment!

As a mother who had never been separated from her 2.5yr old I thought I would be a teary-eyed mess on the first day of school, but my daughters teachers (Miss Emma and Miss Natalie) took away all of my fears! I've trust them with my daughter and watched her flourish from my sweet baby into a confident 3 year old "big girl." We started out at 3 day's a week just to get a feel for the routine and quickly signed up for 5 day's after Christmas break. The adjustments was flawless and my daughter never stops talking about the fun they have on the private gated playground behind the school, fun painting and art activities (we have quite the art collection now,) and all her new friends! We will be enrolling in GUMP again next year as well as adding my youngest (soon to be 1yr old) into the mix. They offer 2, 3 and 5 day's a week for 3 hours a day (9am to 12) and also offer breakfast bunch (where you can drop your child off an hour early to play before school) or lunch bunch (an hour after school where the kids play and eat lunch,) both lunch bunch and breakfast bunch are $6 each and worth it if you have a particularly long errand to run. Children don't have to be potty trained, just make sure you bring enough diapers for the week. My daughter started out not fully potty trained but after using the little potty at school decided she was ready! Lastly, I sincerely can't say enough good things about how the entire staff and especially the director Miss Ann have treated my family and I. Although we are not religious and have never attended the Methodist church adjacent to the preschool, I have never once felt any pressure to attend services or like there has ever be any judgement. Give GUMP a try and hopefully this was helpful to any parent looking for a wonderful place to send their child.

She enjoys every minute of lessons and doesn't stop talking about the activities and the friends she's made she comes home with arts and crafts that rival high schoolers. They have our daughter excited about second languages (Spanish), chapel, computer fundamentals, sign language and so much more! The teachers are very communicative and are really partners in the children's care and education, the center is clean and well-kept and the location is conveniently located. The rates are extremely affordable and honestly UNDERpriced in our experience. If you are looking for preschool, pre-k, or childcare in Virginia Beach, this is THE BEST program by far. We are so happy with EEDS, that we have begged for them to extend their programs into summer and into Kindergarten so our daughter can spend more time with them. Luckily, they are offering a few different summer camps and she will attend all of them!

I knew that when I moved away, I would never find another dance studio that compares. The teachers are amazing, the classes become families, and the recital's are always so fun. The recitals are once a year, and they're always an amazing, broadway-style production. They're on the big stage (Harrison Opera House or Chrysler Hall), costumes are carefully selected, and the production of the show is NEXT LEVEL. I recommend everyone attend and sign up their kids (boys and girls!) for dance classes at Bobbi and Helen. It is so worth it, and the greatest memories will be made.
