Worst preschool experience ever. Teachers that don't pay attention. There is no lesson plan, basicly free play for 3 hours... Our child had a problem with another kid bullying her we tried to bring it to the attention of the "head teacher" at our parent teacher conference... Her reply was "yeah it's a tough crowd".... Also what a joke of a parent teacher conference, nothing to show us of her work (beacause they don't do any) just a "yep she's doing great".... Great so I took time off work to hear "yep.... Doing great" and see absolutely nothing, then to be ignored when we tried to express concern. I'm the dumb one who kept up the "let's just give it another week" mantra... Now I have a kid who's first experience with going to school was 5 months of being bullied by a vile mean little girl while the teachers (mainly the "head" teacher Ms. Lori) ignored it.

Speaking of "head" teachers, what kind of teacher locks up and leaves before the parents do? What kind of teacher responds to concerned parents with phrases like "it's a tough crowd" or "kids will be kids".

Seriously though, this is your kids first experience going to school and apathetic teachers can really scew up their outlook on school as whole.

We hosted a non-profit fundraiser gala here with about 125 adults (80s Prom theme) and were very happy with the venue staff and accommodations. They had a lot of amenities - banquet and rounds tables, modern grey chairs, podium, rolling dry bar, projector, etc. Our caterer was able to use the large kitchen onsite for prep. There are plenty of restroom stalls for both men and women. We were also able to connect via Bluetooth to the speaker system during set up which made the process more enjoyable! Take-down at the end of the night was seamless. Staff was present throughout the entire day and night, helping adjust lighting and the sound system...
