What I understand about JDS so far, I've actually learned from my clients/ passengers. Everything I have heard from them makes this an incredible place, for people who are interested in video editing, acting and everything that behind the scenes video production entails. Itvdoes internships and even has a special needs program for individuals looking to someday have the skills to pursue a career in any one of their many professions. The person in charge of this amazing program is a wonderful person herself, whom I won't namedrop, but we will just call her "Madelynn"... very professional, courteous, and apparently carries around her heart on her sleeve.. all the staff is pleasant and if/ when I find out more of the interworking I will update this review. Thank you for your time

They were really nice there. We thought there was an event and it was an old flyer online. They let my son go trick or treating anyways. He was so happy. They were amazing!

My son attended JDS' video production program for disabled adults and had a miserable experience. He left after six months and enrolled in another similar video production program where he's now much happier.JDS's program, which is funded by the Inland Regional Center, is poorly managed by an executive director I found to be impatient, unpleasant, overly controlling, and easily annoyed. The executive director is also a blatant liar. She lied to me about details of a violent incident by a student that my son witnessed and said that my son was lying about it. However, my son had text messages from another student who also witnessed the incident and basically confirmed what my son told me. I filed a formal complaint about JDS and its executive director with the IRC.JDS had high staff turnover, too. My son told me that seven staff members left while he was there. One staff member who left is now working in the program that my son is currently in along with some former JDS students.9/28/21 Response to Owner: My son didn't have issues with JDS' curriculum. It was its unhappy atmosphere that bothered him. Also, he didn't feel safe at JDS after he witnessed a violent incident by another student. An incident that you said my son lied to me about though I read posted texts by another student which confirmed what my son said happened.You called my son a liar and now you say I posted "untrue accusations" on social media! What I posted can be proven by texts and interviews with staff and students. I was very truthful and through in my formal complaint to the IRC and included screen shots of the texts my son showed me.

I've worked with JDS academy as an independent artist (Art Show in 2018) as well as a private contractor to create a custom virtual tour for DigiDay 2020. My experience with them has been absolutely fantastic through and through. They are always prepared, on top of their game, and very professional. Highly recommend them to anyone in the Temecula area and beyond!

I am so impressed with everything that JDS Creative Academy is doing for their students. I saw Scott in action as he patiently worked with some of the kids. Kudos to JDS for what they do!

We did the Halloween Class where the students help build the haunted house and choose their character. My son had the best time, he was allowed to be creative and be a part of something big. The kids bonded and had a great experience. It was a great experience and can't wait to join another class soon.

I have had a ton of interaction with JD Creative Academy over the last few years. I have found them to be professional and true to their word. It is so wonderful to have an organisation like this in our valley. They go above and beyond for our community.

A 5 star rating is totally bogus, this business caters to the dollar. They know nothing not do they care to learn anything about children with disabilities. They have a terrible track record and do not advocate for less than perfect children..After seeing their operation, I'd never allow my child to attend
