I first brought my child here when she was little and now we are bringing her children here. What brought me back its the fact that the Director always cares about the kids, the children are her priority, she will go above and beyond to accommodate to the parents or the child(s) needs, she has two petting zoos for them a year, bouncers once a year there is a Santa clause that comes and visits the kids on December, and an Easter Bunny that comes and visits on April. Overall GREAT PRESCHOOL!!!!! ...read more

This school is horrible! My 11 month old baby had gotten a scratch on his head no too long ago. When I went to pick him, the report said that another child had scratched him. A couple of days went by, and his scratch had got infected. I took him to the doctor and the doctor said that' This isn't a scratch from another child, this look likes a scratch from a nail or a staple". I was furious. The teachers do not know what they are doing, or how my child got hurt. I pulled my child out. ...read more

Baby showers are a great way to honor and support moms-to-be. But planning a shower can become overwhelming—deciding on location, theme, food, party favors, and games—turning an otherwise happy occasion into a daunting task. Before you know it, you are wishing you had never volunteered to host the shower. A successful baby shower comes down to thoughtful planning and organization. You want the party to be fun and memorable and part of this involves coming up with fun baby shower games. But let’s face it, sometimes the usual shower games are not so fun and often are the dreaded part of the festivities. Why not skip the games and do something fun and functional for the mom-to-be: pottery painting. Pottery painting is a lot of fun and a great way to bond with friends and family. And with the help of the staff at VanGo Pottery, your baby shower can be a memorable occasion that guests will be talking about for a long time. You and your guests can paint a variety of items using colors and themes chosen by the mom to be. And with the guest of honor’s help, each piece will be a gift she and baby can use and treasure for years to come. For the nursery, guests can paint items such as picture frames, light switch covers, tissue box covers, trinket boxes, piggy banks, and decorative tiles and plaques. For the kitchen, guests can paint matching plates, cups, and bowls as well as serving dishes and trays. Or how about a special tea set for mom to drink her favorite tea during those rare quiet times after baby is born. The possibilities are endless! Here’s how it works: Contact VanGo Pottery (http://www.VanGoPottery.com) to discuss ideas and themes. The guest of honor can select pieces and colors ahead of time. We will come to your location and provide pottery, paints, brushes, and design tools. We will stay for up to 2 hours, providing assistance as needed and clean-up afterward. We then take the painted pieces back to our studio where we glaze and fire them, making them shiny, food-safe, and ready for delivery in about a week. So put away the diaper pins and tape measure and call VanGo Pottery: 602.468.3136. Pottery painting is a great alternative to the usual party games and much more fun than guessing mommy’s tummy size. Less embarrassing, too. Photos courtesy ofhttp://www.ilovetocreate.com/. ...read more

I am in the process of bringing in a new line of glaze and have been testing new colors to see if they are compatible with my current colors. During a recent round of testing, I decided to paint a salsa bowl, as one can never have too many salsa bowls. My salsa bowl was actually a drip tray from a flower pot set that was rescued from my “discard” box, because it had a small chip in it. Nothing that a few coats of paint wouldn’t cover. After painting the salsa bowl with the new colors, I decided it needed a little more pizzazz, but I was pressed for time. What could I do quickly that would look good? A stamp would be perfect! After some consideration, I chose one of my cute frog stamps, even though it was not a particularly good stamp to use with glaze. I sponged a bit of Java Bean (yes, it looks as yummy as it sounds) on the stamp and stamped away. One-two-three- lift! Ugh! It looked nothing like a frog. It was basically a brown blob. Now what? I couldn’t leave the sorry looking blob frog at the bottom of my salsa bowl. So I decided to have some fun and get creative. I grabbed the sponge, dipped it back into the Java Bean and sponged over what was left of the frog. Then I created a flower outline using the Sgraffito technique; a technique in which layers of color are applied to the bisque (pottery) then lightly scraped away to create an outline. In this case, I lightly scraped some of the brown to reveal the blue underneath. For the finishing touch, I added some splashes of Sour Apple. The results? The colors are very happily cohabitating with each other and I love my new piece! Time for some chips and salsa… ...read more
