Boxwood

Boxwood was founded in 2015, but you could say it has existed for a long time -- in the imagination of founder / designer Alexandra Rhode.

But her designs have always been 'just' for friends.

Until she found herself at an artist market in Venice Beach at the beginning of 2015. Just for fun. One thing led to another (as they say). She started crafting her signature lariats and continued branching out. Gold, silver, leather. Jewelry for women. At first. Soon for children. And the occasional piece for men. One market turned into many, Alexandra kept adding more designs ... and word got around.

Her design credo is: Simplicity. Elegant, never ostentatious. Never the focal point, always complementary.

Homewatch CareGivers West LA

Homewatch CareGivers West LA 

When you hire a caregiver for yourself or a loved one you want to know that it is safe to have them in your home and also that this will be a positive experience for all parties. We have invested in training caregivers, checking on the backgrounds of our employees, requiring CPR/first aid certification, and we offer you the chance to interview the prospective caregiver in advance.

Once a caregiver is in place, they will be part of creating a customized care plan that takes into consideration the unique preferences and interests of the client. This is about quality, not quantity, so we can be there as much or little as needed.

At Homewatch CareGivers of West Los Angeles, we believe that having a plan of care is essential to ensuring that our clients receive the care that they need and want. Our planning begins with a detailed assessment, developed by a nurse and enhanced with the Eden at Home principles. We’ll talk through where you are with the basics of health: eating healthy meals, getting enough to drink, taking medications accurately and on schedule, getting physical exercise, getting mental and social stimulation, and making sure those things that are simple pleasures in your day don’t get overlooked.  We’ll talk about activities of daily living and whether any help is needed with bathing, dressing, grooming, feeding, toileting, and walking.  We’ll discuss the household activities that keep a house running, such as grocery shopping, getting to appointments, doing dishes, sweeping and vacuuming, laundry, etc.  Then we’ll produce a detailed plan of care that we’ll all use as the guidelines for what we’ll expect of the caregivers working with you.  We do this free of charge when you contact us for a free assessment.

Echo Horizon School

Welcome to Echo Horizon School

We are thrilled that you are taking a moment to look at our extraordinary school. 

Children are transformed at Echo Horizon School. Your young child’s innate curiosity will be nurtured to bloom into an active engaged learner, and ready for independent middle schools across Los Angeles.

How do we do this?

• We are active learners and researchers in the constantly evolving world of elementary education

• Echo Horizon is leading the way in elementary education through the Inquiry and Innovation (i2) program. I2 was inspired by Google’s “20% time,” and Stanford University’s d. school Design Thinking program, to allow students to be active participants in their own education and to be prepared for life and work in the 21^st century.

• With a state of the art Makerspace, STEAM space, Visual Arts Lab, Music, Dance Theatre Studio, and Athletic Space, Echo Horizon students are able to take the learning outside of the classroom and develop imagination, creativity and problem solving skills.

• Echo Horizon School is home to Echo Center, which is one of the preeminent auditory oral deaf education programs in the United States. With the participation of deaf and hard of hearing students in the classroom, the expectations for both adults and students rise to another level. The result is that both our DHH and hearing students benefit enormously from a synergy unparalleled at any other institution.

• Our credentialed teachers are highly effective in developing imagination and academic rigor in a co-teaching model, with one co-teacher and one Echo Center DHH Co-Teacher in each grade level.

• As a Pre-K through 6^th grade school, Echo Horizon School is a diverse and dynamic community where our Joyful, Engaged, Learning approach to education and social and emotional development will guide our children to success.

Our faculty and staff believe in every child whom you entrust to us during these important developmental years. We encourage, guide, and support them as they discover, create, explore, and learn at Echo Horizon School.

Bubby Wubby's Baked Goods

I started Bubby Wubby's as a cottage kitchen to provide baked goods alternative for birthday parties, work events, weddings, and other gatherings where the food tasted fresh and homemade. Give us a try and I promise you won't be disappointed!

In the summer of 2016 I decided to stop working for bakeries owned by people who couldn't bake a cookie if their lives depended on it and I started making things the right way; Homemade, from scratch, with real ingredients.

Before giving it a go on my own, I trained and received an Associates degree in Baking and Pastry from the Art Institute of Orange County. I then worked for a number of bakeries in LA County and Orange County over the course of six years getting the opportunity to learn from a number of high-quality chefs.
