Just left from there. My daughter was accepting a Claire's award and was absolutely humiliated. Along with my self watching her be caught in limbo on stage. The lady calling out the names called them so fast that no once could be ready. Just absolutely humiliated. Mispronounced her last name. The tone in her voice as if it was something funny or cute that happened. I am outraged. That lady should not be directing children with her voice to recieve directions or anything of that natureashley nicholas

Awesome art gift shop. It definitely rivals Art depot. I would definitely purchase everything thats available to public. If you are into art and spiritual cleansing this is a perfect location for all your creative and spiritual needs/ wants. My purchase today was writers gloves which is for authors busy at keyboard. My purchase was a luckily 60% off, yah me. I'm also enjoying a Hibiscus and green tea at the Cafe.SoonLee

Complete lack of communication with this school. No preparation emails regarding upcoming school year or events that are occurring. Nothing provided as to what our students need to be admitted to specific programs. As a result of a medical concern, my student struggled throughout the school year and significantly at the end. Absolutely no communication from the teachers or office staff. One teacher (now retired) told me "they should know what to do in the case of not attending class in person". Only one other teacher responded and was the only one with compassion. Once a diagnosis was provided, absolutely no aid was provided and my student was denied additional services or testing (for IEP). Even now my student failed 2 classes. I happen to keep up with their grades, but NO ONE from the school ever contacted me about these concerning behaviors nor advised us as to what our options were to make up these classes. Severely disappointed with such a highly rated school.Rae Chica

I just graduated from Penta. I was in Business Office Tecnologies for 2 years. I was also in the Transition to work program for 1 year. Penta is a great school! Not only I made new friends, but I also learned everything I needed to know for life in general. The teachers truly care for their students and they want them to succeed. They also help you apply for colleges you want to go to and they support you. They even give you your passport when you graduate. I miss Penta so much and always will. It was my second home and my friends were like my family there. I will forever miss waking up early everyday to go to Penta! And I would definitely send my children there if I ever have any! 😭❤Jaycee Dior

Penta is a great school! It is safe and they have high expectations for discipline. Our son is enrolled in the Advanced Manufacturing Program and loves it! Penta is a great alternative for those high school students who may be undecided on future plans and/or afraid of college debt! He has gained real world experience and a sense of "what he is doing after graduation"…Thanks Penta!!!Rebecca Eiben

One of the most beautiful metro parks in Ohio! If you look hard enough you'll discover some unique flora especially, in the Spring but it's a stunning area year-round. If like me, you have children who like to be outdoors among nature, they're outdoorsy & adventurous and get stir crazy because there's little to no room to play outside & explore properly. Many people enjoy Wildwood preserve because it's closer to the city yet is still far enough away that no hustle and bustle will retire here and the air is still clean. You'll find plenty of beautifully serene walking paths with dense, lush forests, wildlife, a playground for kids, plenty of parking, easy-to-read signs, and lots of wildlife to see & hear. Also, a great place to practice photography, bird watching, field sketching, medicinal herb & botanical studies, and You may even find the inspiration here to strum a few chords while relaxing upon one of the sturdy benches along stretches of footpaths, etc. So, go on, get away from it all! Find peace surrounded by nature and mellow out for a while.✌ Picnic tables: Yes
Barbecue grills: YesLeah Whitson

I've been coming to Wildwood for over 20+ years. It's the park my parents took me as a kid. Now it's the park where I take my kids to play and explore nature. The park is always clean and well taken care of. There's a wonderful playground for kids. Lots of beautiful nature walking paths in the woods. There are even some bike trails to explore. Wildwood has a few paved paths that you could rollerblade or skateboard on. The bathrooms are very clean and nice. There is a beautiful garden at Wildwood Manor House. If you enjoy taking family pictures outside in nature, I highly recommend coming to Wildwood in the fall when all the leaves are changing colors to take family photos. It's an absolutely beautiful park.Sarah Storm

Wonderful park servicing the recreation needs of multiple nearby communities. Great space for hiking, bringing the kids to play on the playground, events, picnics and more. You can even ride a bicycle in from the UT Parks bike trail. This facility can pretty much do it all. I say this in all of my reviews of the metro parks, but we are truly blessed to have this park system in our community. There are few better forms of free entertainment than these parks. Get out for a walk!Chris Osment

My daughter's teachers only have gotten greater by the grade. True angels. First it was Mrs. Rodgers, the best Kindergarten teacher ever. She was so attentive, compassionate, encouraging, and truly seen in my daughter greatness that helped us as parents to feel comfortable allowing her to advance to 1st grade curriculum while still in Kindergarten. Now it's Mrs. Hoffman. Such a beautiful heart, extremely empathetic, understanding, & also attentive to the point she also encouraged us to allow Tori to advance into 2nd grade curriculum because of my baby's superb performance & testing. It makes us as parents feel comforted & content knowing we have teachers who take time to learn their students individually, learning their weaknesses & strengths, and then helping us find the most effective solutions to help them succeed. I truly thank God for blessing our family with such amazing teachers. They deserve bonuses, incentives, or whatever rewards are available to them because they truly have golden hearts and have gone over and beyond to make my daughter have the best homeschool experience.Shyree Huggins-Battle

We have had such a great experience with OVHA! My daughter is excelling so much better now. She enjoys all her coursework and virtual classrooms. She chats with her new classmates. She looks forward to school every day. Our teacher is very accessible to us and always gets back to us promptly if we have any questions. She makes her virtual classroom fun and the kids don't even realize that they are learning. They sent us everything we needed books, art supplies, computer, printer. I am so glad we made the switch from public school to OVHA, we have no regrets and will be returning again for the next school year.jasmine ayres

I'd like to thank my Physical Science teacher, Ms. Laura Burton, for being an incredible teacher. Throughout my two semesters attending this school, Ms. Burton has been helpful, kind, and welcoming to all students and their questions. She was one of the few teachers, that I had, that used a "Student Facilitator" system. The Student Facilitator system allowed some students to become leaders in their class and help students by answering questions and encouraging them. I believe this system should be used more everywhere, and I was really lucky to have Ms. Burton as my teacher. #teachluvArturo Steelhand

Courtney and Andy did a fabulous job helping me plan my daughter’s graduation party! The entire staff was so nice, easygoing and had great work ethic! Caitlyn and Eliana did a wonderful job making sure my family and friends had food and drinks. Ryan made sure the tables were cleared and clean! Great teamwork! It was great for us because my husband and I could socialize with my family from in and out of town and not have to worry about anything. The food was above bar! The taco bar, salad and fruit was hit with our guests. I was told by my out of town guests this country club has the best Ranch Dressing they ever tasted! Be sure to book an event with Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania, Ohio. They do it right! Maddie loved her graduation party! Thank you so much!Angie Z.

We joined Highland Meadows about 1.5 years ago when we moved to the area during COVID. We have loved the pool and the community. I am a local Girl Scout troop leader and we were unable to find a place for our girls to meet during COVID. Andy, the club manager, has been incredibly hospitable and allowed our girls to meet there. My daughter really enjoys their swim and dive teams. We’ve really gotten a lot out of our club membership, despite not being golfers. If you’re on the fence, I’d recommend joining!Mollie

The LGPA Marathon Classic was a wonderfully organized event. The grounds are immaculate. The staff was incredibly friendly and very professional. The pool is very nice and while I do not play golf, I am told it is a very nice course. A great venue for any event you may want to hold.Amy Stein

I don't know why you ask him about that time I see you tomorrow night at work now but I'm sure it was good and bad days but it will be in the morning to get the money and the kids are you doing it now or what ever happened with you guys evething OK cool thanks for your birthday and she said that he is so cute together with a friend who has been so long ago did you get home and get some rest tonight and tomorrow night and sweet potatoes are the only thing that has been so far away from me to do that again and again I don't want you so bad that you can see it on my phone was on my phone died lastmaria espinoza

I graduated from SFS in 2001 and consider it one of the greatest times of my life. I credit a lot my current success in life because of my experiences at SFS. Go Knights!John Smythe

Our son is in his Senior year at St Francis. He has enjoyed his experience over the past four years. Great and caring staff, teachers, priests and student body.Matt Snyder

Mrs. Bores is very professional and knowledgeable. She cares about each and every one of her students and makes it her goal to make sure they get the best educational experience possible. She has many years of experience working with children of various ages and abilities. She is a great teacher and educator and I highly recommend her for any of your child's educational needs.Catherine Grice

Calling and getting my son into tutoring was the best decision I have made or he would be so behind. Nicole Bores was so patient with him and he would get ready and be eager to go to his tutoring sessions and his grades showed improvement so quick. If your child(ren) are getting behind in their studies I recommend calling as soon as you can!Kasey Hughes

I am very happy I found A village learning center. Miss Nicole is kind, caring and patient. The curriculum is appropriate and the environment encourages learning. My daughter is getting the help and tools needed to prepare her for kindergarten. I highly recommend A village learning center for anyone who is looking for a preschool.Calvert Bryant

The app is difficult to schedule classes through and two months in a row I was shorted the number of classes I paid for. The first month I contacted via text the manager to notify her that I was short credits. She posted them back to my account and gave me an extra two weeks to use them. When the same thing happened the second month, I wasn’t too concerned given how easily it was handled the first month. I contacted the studio on 25 April to let them know that I was shorted four credits. They responded that they couldn’t give me the credits because the billing cycle would end on April 27. So I paid $109 for four pure barre classes for the month of April. I let the manager know that I would be filing a complaint with my credit card company for the four classes I did not receive. Subsequently my credit card company has credited back $40.09 to my account. Today I received a bill from pure barre for $154. When calling the customer service number I found out that I am now being charged the entire month’s-amount plus a late fee plus a fee for the credit card dispute. I already paid the entire month and only disputed the portion for classes that I didn’t receive. I would be very cautious giving this company your credit card information and I would take extra time to understand the contract you are agreeing to. I was told if I do not pay this $154 that it would be sent to collections. It’s very unfortunate that this is how they handle customer issues, because I liked the classes and the instructors.John & Courtney

I haven’t been disappointed in the ethics of business like this in a long time. I bought a one month membership and was placed immediately, days after purchase, on a Covid wing assignment in Southern Ohio. I called back immediately and said I wouldn’t be able to attend and can I please have a refund. I had not even taken one class. They said they would extend my membership by a week, which would do nothing so I sent them an email further clarifying the situation expecting them to be like, ‘oh my goodness, we didn’t understand, of course.’ Their response was that, ‘this is a really good deal.’ I was shocked. I emailed them back in disbelief…’are you really not refunding me?’ They didn’t even have the courtesy to email me back. I was kind, polite and patient and they are literally stealing from clients as there was no exchange of goods for services paid. So if you have a busy schedule, or for any reason may need to cancel, these are the ethics of the people you are dealing with. Just go in knowing that.Lindsey B

If you have ever thought about trying Pure Barre, stoping thinking and go take a class!! Not only are the classes a great work out, the instructors are amazing! Each instructor, and class is totally different. The instructors are so helpful, and tailor the class to fit every fitness level. They all have such a great amount of energy, you leave class feeling excited about the rest of your day. The music, the atmosphere, I could go on and on! There are great incentives to continue taking classes. The retail part has a great variety. The availability of classes are really convenient, as well as the location. The studio is always very clean, the the staff is always there to greet you! I’m so glad I took advantage to the first week free deal, this is something I can stick with!Leah W

Sylvan in Holland Ohio has been wonderful to work with. The staff and tutors have went above and beyond in supporting my daughter. The data measurements used to show her progress have been reassuring that the investment we are making is worthwhile and helping. My daughter loves going to her sessions and NEVER complains about going. Extra big shout out to Suzan and Tamara for always being so accommodating to our ever changing, hectic schedule! Thank you Sylvan Holland location!!Heather Russell

My son has been working at Sylvan for 5 years, he has had his challenges, his ups and downs, and has worked with many teachers. my son has grown and learned so much. His favorite teacher is Ms. Sherri. They work well together. He loves working towards his goals, especially when earning prizes are involved 🙂 his recommendation is to add hand puppets like sharks or dragons to their prize store. Thank you everyone over the last 5 years for all you do!Katie Kosier

The head of the program is nice and they were all nice but after a few weeks my daughter would be done 5/10 before she was supposed to and sometimes they would start late and when you pay 45$ a hour it all counts. Also she did it all but 2 classes and I thought she would be caught up like they said and once again she’s not she’s behind . And now I have to find a different tutor disappointed an frustrated since I spent thousands here.RaeAnn A

Laurel’s Princess Parties does an outstanding job with private parties, public events, and even virtual meet and greets! I have had Rapunzel, Belle, and Anna at our private birthday parties. I also did a Mermaid Academy party for my daughter. We have been to many public events at the Toledo Zoo, Indian Creek Zoo, Farmers Markets, fairs, and festivals where Laurel’s Princess Parties had characters. They never disappoint. They are great with kids of all ages- Mine range from 6 months to 6 years. The prices for private parties are extremely reasonable. The character provides the main source of entertainment for the party and the kids always have a blast. Every performer that I have met has been professional and they do an amazing job. I love that I can reserve performers online with ease and the email correspondence makes things much easier on me as a busy mom of 5. I highly recommend Laurel’s Princess Parties for all of your character needs!Kathryn Henry

Everything was pure magic! Maren and her friends loved every second. Rapunzel and Elsa brought games to play with the kids, they colored, sang all their favorite songs, danced, made sure all the kids were included in the fun, but also making Maren feel extra special for her birthday! They both did an incredible job. I will book with Laurel’s Princess Parties for many years to come – we were extremely impressed with every aspect! From my first initial conversation with Riley, having to re-book due to illness, to the party. The costumes looked amazing, their makeup looked fantastic. Thank you all so much for helping us make our daughters 3rd birthday so special!!! The Rileys <3Julie Riley

Mirabel, Isabela, and their helper were absolutely amazing! They set up quick and got right to entertaining the kids. They were structured but also followed my daughter's lead with what she wanted. The games were so fun for all the kids and even for us parents to watch. Dance party and Limbo were the biggest hits and my daughter loved taking the mic and singing along with her favorite songs. We had a blast! This was my first time booking Laurel's and it won't be my last 🙂Ranjana Sundara

Growing up my whole life without dogs, I didn't really know what to do when it came to training a new french bulldog puppy. Our dog is now 1 year old and just spent two weeks at Off leash K9 Training with Michelle. Prior to the training, our dog was very aggressive with our 4-year old daughter and it was difficult for them both to play in the back yard without it ending in tears. It was also difficult to have company over as our dog was just too hyper and would jump on everyone. After the two week program, we saw a huge change in her behavior. She now listens to our commands and plays well with our daughter in the back yard. If we see her falling back to old behaviors, we quickly use the 'Come' and 'Place, Down' commands and she executes them very well now. Michelle was extremely responsive throughout the two week board and train and sent us daily updates about new things she was learning along with pics and videos to show the progress made each day. Michelle also offered suggestions on things to do at home to enforce the practices that she was trained on. Overall, this was a great experience and above all, it gave me more confidence to ensure my dog behaves the way I want her to in all sorts of situations. I would recommend Michelle and Off Leash K9 Training to anyone looking for a great dog training experience.sflahie14

Our 1 year old Maltipoo, Daisy, learned so much during her one week board and train program with Lexi. She went from pulling on the leash, jumping and being crazy, to being able to walk off leash and obey her commands. We have already gotten multiple compliments on how well behaved she is and she’s only been home for 3 days. Although we missed Daisy so much while she was away, Lexi sent daily updates and videos. It was clear she was learning quick and in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Off Leash K9 training to anyone looking to help with their training needs. We will be forever grateful for the training Daisy received and we’re excited to continue working with Daisy at home to help build her skills and confidence. 🐾Jennifer Swiech

Michelle far exceeded our expectations! We were nervous to leave our dog with someone else for 2 weeks, but Michelle immediately calmed our fears. She gave us daily updates on his progress and loved him like her own! She provided us with education throughout the entire training. When he was ready to come home we were confident we could continue his training. Michelle has continued to be a resource for us after the training. Her and her wealth of knowledge about dogs are just a quick text or call away. While our dog is still the same goofy and loving dog, he now listens when we need him to! All thanks to Michelle and Off-Leash K9 Training. Best money we ever spent. Thank you, Michelle.Dominic Ruta

So happy to find Sylvan Learning in BG! After moving to BG from out of the area, I realized that my 7th grader needed some additional help in math. After mapping out a plan with the Sylvan BG team, we started with tutoring several times a week. My child has looked forward to going to the tutoring sessions, and for the first time has actually said…."Mom, they make Math fun!" I can't thank the Sylvan BG team enough for your ongoing support and encouragement! Also, I feel the expense for the tutoring is very fair in the market place…and worth every penny!Laurie F

Sylvan is a stellar program! Not only were both of my children improving in school, they were also enjoying the Sylvan learning process and their teachers. I particularly liked how Sylvan communicated with my children's school teachers for additional information to ensure that the Sylvan program was in alignment with the school curriculum and our overall goal. Thank you, Sylvan of BG!Al Romulo

We have noticed a huge improvement in our childs confidence with reading. As a parent I am excited to see my child really "get it". They broke down the basics which gave her a foundation to grow her reading skills on. She gets so excited when she is able to move onto the next part of her program, because she understands it. What a wonderful resource to have in our area.Allison Szpila

Our son has gone several years now and simply loves it there. Starting when he was just 9 years old they took great care of him, and he fell in love with summer camp. As a kid who loves to be on technology every moment he can, I love that he can go to a place without it, learn, bond, and explore so many options and not even miss the technology a little. He wants to go back longer and longer every year. Couldn’t ask for better staff, better counselors, a better location, or better opportunities. We love Falcon Camp!Nicole Gier

What can I say about a camp that has my daughter excited to return once she has been picked up… FALCON CAMP IS AMAZING. My daughter shares camp memories all throughout the year. She loves meeting new people every time she returns. Loves learning new skills and old camp traditions. My daughter refers to Falcon Camp as her summer family.Karen Russell

This year will be my sixth summer at Falcon. I absolutely LOVE it there! I have met so many amazing people. I get to try so many different things I wouldn't normally do. The counselors and the entire staff are fun and encouraging. It has been a wonderful experience for me and I can't wait to return.A Mel

I'm not sure the names of the two ladies that helped me today but they were so pleasant. They set up shop at Flower Hospital today and when I heard they would be a vendor, I had to stop by because my wife and I had been wanting to try their cakes for some time. The two ladies were so patient while I couldn't decide which flavors I wanted. I endes up purchasing 3 and for some reason they felt the need to give me a free one. They didn't know I needed that kindness. My wife has been in the hospital and my birthday is this week. I appreciate their kindness more than anything. They may never know how much. And on top of that, THE BUNDT CAKES WERE AMAZING! Snickerdoodle, Lemon, Carrot, and Red Velvet were the flavors we tried and we loved them all! Thanks again ladles! For your kindness as well as your cakesJonathan Hayes

Initially received two bundtlets as a gift. Just loved them. They were so moist and delicious. Have now given them as gifts quite a few times and they continue to be my “go to” gifts. Recipients are always delighted. They are the perfect little gifts. Additionally, I bought several unique items at Christmas. Very glad that we have a shop in our area.Christine Keran

I got the chocolate birthday cake and a assortment of bundtlits, I think they are called but whoa!!!!! The chocolate cake is so most and delicious without being overwhelming, like you can eat the whole thing!! All the other flavors went way beyond my expectations!! This will be my new spot for all birthdays!!!Amber Fowler

My friend discovered a nail in her tire the day before leaving for a cross country road trip. We were able to trailer the bike but were going to need same day service. Called and spoke with Jorda (apologies if I spelled that wrong). They didn't have the tire, but she took the time to assist me in finding 3 other dealerships along our route. Really above and beyond service, even though we didn't get the bike serviced there 😂 That was above and beyond and though another dealership didn't work out for us, we were able to call the local ships and quickly come up with a plan B. Thanks for saving the day!Jesse-Linn Masters

The service center is what earned this rating. They had my bike there for 3 weeks to install 2 modules (brake & turn signal) and Master Cylinder seal that was under a recall. Got the run a round over the phone numerous times that items had to be ordered. At $200+ per hour charge. They need to improve their service dept. I can not comment on their sale's department.Rodney Mahler

The best place to buy your Harley from! All staff is very laid back but very informative and professional. They are ready to work deals and get you on the road! I’m on my third bike with them and each time I left feeling great! The finance manager Cordell really goes above and beyond, each time he was great to work with and really helpful on the financing!Nico Maldonado

Called these guys as my truck was making nasty noises on my way out of town on a Sunday. They were happy to rush me in and take a look at my vehicle to give us an opinion on what was wrong. They concluded it could be transmission issues and asked us to not travel home (200 mi) and to get it fixed at one of their recommended transmission specialists in town. They were quick, fair and had our concerns in mind with every question and answer. Thanks to you guys, we found that a wheel bearing was severely damaged and was causing issues in the transmission as a result. Transmission place said if we tried to travel on that wheel hub, it could have dramatically disassembled itself. With a 9 month pregnant wife in the car, we are glad that Tuffy guys were honest and thorough. We will continue to use your service in the future. Thank you so much.Armando Linares

Amazing experience with Jesse and Andrew. I have never seen such helpful mechanics in my life. They are very friendly and made me comfortable to talk to them. They help you in every aspects. They show you what needs to be fixed emergent and what needs to be fixed in near future. Not only that they work with your budget. They try to help with online coupons . So you don’t have to come here with google search for coupons . I got recommendations from my friend to come to this place because of these two gentlemen. I would highly recommend every one to come to this place for there car work.h asf

Andrew the manager by far is one of the best customer service people l have ever met! He had the best price in town for 4 tires, brakes, and 4 rotors. He went out of our way to service us with professionalism and kindness. His mechanics were just as knowledgeable and understanding, willing to take the time to diagnose and repair our SUV. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for fair honest prices and fast friendly service. We live a distance from this store, but would come here again just for the amazing customer service. You’re in good hands here!Borne FREE

Christmas eve was my first time there, it was a fantastic experience. They had a person driving a golf cart in the parking lot to drive you in, he was so nice. Secure play area for the younger kids, coffe, tea, hot chocolate greeters. Band was fantastic and so was the sermon. I plan on going back. It felt like a place that would really be welcoming. My son and daughter in law are members,our daughter is thinking of changing churches to cedar creek.Bev Peters

It was great to be home for a church service!! I need to go through growth track soon, so I can help with online services. I can't wait. It was amazing being there in person though, after moving over a year agoAmanda Bell

Been there a few times so far and enjoyed it everytime. We use to go to the one in Findlay but wanted to try this campus out and it's better than expected. Staff is friendly and welcoming to all who enter!!!Seth George

I've been going to cedar Creek 5 years ago. I walked in broken and spiritually lost, and now I've been found and God has control of my life instead of me trying to control it. Celebrate Recovery has also helped my life change. I've also changed my attitude from always reacting to the negative and just simply stopping and trying to find at least one positive. Then there is hope. I still struggle but the struggles aren't as stressful. If God is for me nothing or noone can be against me. What evil intends to harm me God will use It for good. Thanks for reading You matterLetter Ninja

Love this place I've visited lots of churches in Toledo. This is one of THEE Best ones I've been to in the last 20 years. The children's ministry is on point. They do mission trips, they have camps for teenagers in the summer. They focus heavily on small groups. They always come from the Bible. They have over 100 different small groups that you can join. Again I cant say enough how amazing this church is.LaQuentin Boyd

This is our home church. My children and I are learning about our religion more successfully than we have in before. The environment is exciting and welcoming. My kids WANT to go and get me to go even when life is busy. This place has accepted me even when I was in doubt of faith. Come in for a visit see if it's a fit .Ash
