Why the negatives about a place everyone else has raved about the excellence for years. Parent who expects free care? Parent who doesn't understand policies and contracts? Parents who just like to complain If there was any truth to the comments then this school would not be licensed by Boise City. ...read more

Ms. Kathy is a complete fake! I went into her facility and she came off as so sweet and excited to have my 4-year old there. Despite my asking for clarity several times, she led me to believe that it was a daycare/pre-school and that she would work with me and my schedule. I was so excited at the thought of having an enriching and learning environment for my kid at such a great cost. BOY WAS I DUPED!!! My experience was the same as the other two reviews! First off, Ms. Kathy has a Jekyll and Hyde personality. She initially comes off very sweet like a grandma then turns into "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane" (Betty Davis) crazy. She started to complain about payments....scheduling...when I could drop him off....when he could be picked up AND her prices kept going up every week! My son became increasingly terrified of "going to school" which leads me to believe she is just as nasty and snarly with the children as she is with the parents. After I confronted her about all of her constant "yelling" at me when I would walk in the door--and all of her building complaints she called me on the phone and left a MESSAGE that it wasn't working for her....Thus leaving me to scramble to find daycare over the weekend for the next Monday. She even bilked me out of $40 for a pre-paid week. In my opinion she shouldn't even be working with children. SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE AND IRRITATION...DO NOT GO TO CREATIVE HANDS CHRISTIAN SCHOOL -- IT'S A JOKE! I strongly recommend NEVER taking your kids here! ...read more

Parable of the Rocks, Sand & Water

"The feeling of being hurried is not usually the result of living a full life and having no time. It is on the contrary born of a vague fear that we are wasting our life. When we do not do the one thing we ought to do, we have no time for anything else- we are the busiest people in the world."                      --- Eric Hoffer "Spare time?    WHAT SPARE TIME???"   Have you ever felt like there simply aren't enough hours in the day? Have you ever felt like the more you get done, the more there is TO be done? Even when we have the best of intentions, somehow our days and weeks get bogged down with the mundane. The routine. Work.  More work. Chores and more chores. Never-ending to-do lists. It's the end of another week, and we didn't work on our plan to Escape the Rat Race. The Parable of the Rocks, Sand and Water Let me share a parable with you.  A wise old teacher sought to teach his student a solemn lesson.  So he pulled out an old jar, then carefully gathered together some rocks, sand, and water.  As the student looked on in puzzlement, the teacher proceeded to fill the jar to the brim with rocks. "Is the jar full?" asked the Sensei.   "Indeed, it is completely full"  said the eager student without hesitation.  The teacher then went on to pour all the sand into the spaces between the big rocks.  The sand flowed into the cracks, settling comfortably.  Now the jar was really full. "Is the jar full?" asked the Sensei.  " I... um.. no?" said the doubtful student. Smiling, the Sensei took the water and poured it with ease into the jar. Standing back, the Sensei asked his student:   "What have you learned?" "That there is always room for more!" exclaimed the student. Shaking his head in disappointment, the sensei emptied the jar, and asked the student to fill the jar again, but this time, in reverse order.  So the student filled the jar with water.  As he did so he found that there was no room for the sand.  And found that there was no room for the rocks.  The Lesson of the Big Rocks Parable? You do not have an infinite capacity to fill your life with STUFF. Prioritization matters. If you put the BIG ROCKS into your life first... there will be room for the SAND.  If you put the SAND into your life next... there will be room for the WATER. But if you put the WATER in first, you will be overcome by a Tidal Wave! Water is limitless, and always eager to flow into any available space.  If you let the demon called Tidal Wave take control, he will leave room for nothing else. You will forever be a rat running on a wheel. You will unfortunately not escape the Rat Race. What are your Big Rocks? What are the big rocks in your life? Family? Health ~ be it Physical ~ Mental ~ Spiritual? Making a positive difference in the world? Fulfillment? What is the sand in your life? Making a living? Friends? Routine chores? What is the water in your life? TV? Endless surfing of the net? Email? Other leisure activities? You have to decide what fits into each category for you.  There is no absolute or right/wrong answer. There is only your answer.  To totally de-stress your life and start living check this out! ...read more
