“Choosing Butterflies Academy for our child was one of the best decisions we made. Our little one blossomed during their time there, and we couldn't be happier with the results. As our child transitions to kindergarten, it's evident that Butterflies Academy laid a strong foundation for their social, cognitive, and academic development.What sets Butterflies Academy apart is its commitment to fostering not just academic achievement, but also personal growth and character development. Our child not only excelled academically but also learned invaluable social skills, empathy, and the importance of making good choices. The environment at Butterflies Academy encourages kindness, consideration, and manners, instilling in children a sense of confidence and empowerment.One of the highlights of Butterflies Academy is its emphasis on creativity and imagination. Our child was exposed to early reading skills, art fundamentals, and encouraged to explore their imagination through various activities. The supportive atmosphere created by both teachers and peers inspired our child to push themselves and strive for excellence.It's important to note that Butterflies Academy may not be for everyone. If you're looking for a rigid, conformist environment, this may not be the right fit. However, if you value holistic development, individuality, and a nurturing atmosphere where children are encouraged to be themselves and thrive, Butterflies Academy is the perfect choice.In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Butterflies Academy to parents who want their children to not only excel academically but also develop into kind, confident, and creative individuals. It's been an incredible journey for our family, and we're grateful for the positive impact Butterflies Academy has had on our child's life.”

“Spacious, can accommodate a few hundred people for events. Back of the building has many built-in game activities. Plenty of sitting nooks for private conversations. Setting is relaxing because of the location. Parking is probably the only drawback, not enough.”

“The SCCPOA camping / range facility was opened in 1970. All of the property improvements to the facility were made by Law enforcement and community members who volunteer their time every month to keep the facility open, and to make the place what it is today. It’s only a few miles outside the city of Saratoga, yet it offers a quiet secluded place for youth groups to experience camping. One of the hiking trails will take you past some old growth tall majestic redwoods. Numerous scout groups use our facility on an annual basis. Several Cub scouts who went on to become Boy scouts have voluntarily constructed projects at our facility in order to earn their Eagle Scout awards and to give back to the faculty that provided them with a place to earn several of their merit badges. I have talked with one scout leader who camped at our facility when he was a cub scout. He now brings his own son up to our facility, in order for him to experience camping as he did many years ago.”

“One of my favorite book stores. Better prices than almost anywhere else and you're supporting a library when you shop there. They take cash and card which is a plus for a Friends bookstore. The staff is always super nice. I think they're volunteers but they should get a raise anyway.”

“Personal commitment to routine exercise can be challenging but when you feel welcome to be there and missed when you’re not, it’s added incentive. Coupled with great instructors a helpful, caring staff, and interactive equipment, it makes training goals possible.”
