Small classes for beginning and anxious swimmers. The teachers are great at getting the kids comfortable in the water by playing games and singing songs. They also have great props to help the kids get used to the water. Classes for babies and parents up to older kids. More pricey than community ed, but they have smaller classes and more individual time.

I am a proud alumni of the University of St. Thomas. After graduating high school I went to a different college and found it too small. St. Thomas was the nice balance - small enough for small classrooms and campus, big enough to offer many academic and social choices.
I felt very comfortable in my academic status on campus.. I did not feel pressure to be uber-smart while being in classes that challenged.
I had the pleasure of being involved in Campus Scope, Cheerleading, and Gamma Sigma Sigma, and would recommend any of those organizations.

This school has an excellent reputation for its quality education of students. Children of all religions are welcome and financial assistance is available for those who might not be able to afford to attend. The teachers are caring and work well with parents to guide the educational progress of the students. Basic subjects are emphasized but the arts, music, and physical fitness are part of the curriculum too. A hot lunch program is available for all students. Busing is provided by the school district.

Our oldest son took Driver's Ed through this company last year. They did a good job of providing relevant information to him on driving and he passed his permit test with no problems. They require all parents to attend a meeting where they answer any questions you might have about their training and classes. It was informative and I really liked the fact that the classes were held right at the high school. It made for a lot less driving back and forth, as my son just stayed after school for his classes.
One thing I didn't really like was the way their behind the wheel portion is set up. The students drive alone with an instructor 3 times, for 2 hours each time. I think this is a long time to drive solid with no breaks (for anyone, but especially a teenager who has little experience). I'd prefer one hour sessions and more flexible times to set up the behind the wheel sessions.

TAGS has been offering quality gymnastics classes for many years. I went to the TAGS when I was a child and my son goes now. They offer a great program for toddlers, starting with a Two's class for children and parents. They also have progressive programs for older boys and girls. They have a variety of equipment designed just for the little kids. The prices are comparable to other gyms, but the quality is very high.

More
I attended Sunny Hollow from Pre-K through 1st grade, at which point the 1st-3rd grade programs were cut, and the school was downsized to Pre-K through Kindergarten. I was reluctantly forced to attend school elsewhere. 15 years and a bachelor's degree later, I still consider this school to be the best educational experience of my life.
Montessori schooling was the ideal learning environment for me. The teaching at Sunny Hollow was personalized and exceptional. I was allowed to explore independently, work creatively, and learn at my own pace. This learning style does not encourage laziness, but rather enables students to reach their maximum potential. When I was moved to a "prestigious" private school in 2nd grade, my math and reading skills were at the 4th grade level. Unfortunately, my new school had no program to accomodate advanced students. The teachers were far more concerned with herding students around in single-file lines and maintaining a common, low set of standards for everyone. My educational progress was kept in limbo for the next two years.
If you have the means, you owe it to your children to send them to Sunny Hollow. They will never want to leave.

I've been a part-time student at Saint Paul College since January 2006. Beginning college was a very scary experience for me, but I quickly learned that all my fears were unjustified. The teachers and other faculty members are very friendly and helpful. The student body is a giant melting pot, consisting of people of all ages, races, backgrounds, etc. Everyone fits in! It makes for a wonderful learning environment. SPC offers degrees, diplomas and certificates in various fields of study. Also, you can choose to transfer to a 4-year college to further your education. If you want to find employment after graduating, the college offers resources that can help you find a job.

If you are looking for great programs at reasonable prices, Apple Valley Parks and Recreation is great place to look. They offer a variety of programs including gym classes, art classes, tot clubs and more. These programs are all excellent, but the best thing is the price. They are so much cheaper than other programs. It allows children to do much more.
