She was incredibly helpful, patient, detailed, and flexible with such a large group. What I loved most was how she was able to collaborate with all 12 of us and still make the experience feel personal. Everyone felt included, supported, and able to be creative in their own way. You can tell a lot of thought and care goes into what she does. Our team had the BEST time, and I would absolutely recommend this experience for a team outing, celebration, or just a fun day together. We will definitely be back!

She was super encouraging and had ways of helping those of us who don't get the chance to paint very often create something we could be proud of. Even the very-beginners did art we would be happy to show to off others. Some of us enjoyed the process so much we didn't want to leave and stayed as long as we could. I would love to take one of her regular classes!

She is a great communicator and always kept us up to date on his progress in the program. Sula and her staff facilitated all of my son's homework and made sure they checked his work. They encouraged him to draw and build - to use his imagination. He really enjoyed his time with the students after school - a really diverse set of kids of all ages. Sula is lovely to work with and was accommodating when we needed a camp for our other child during summer break. I'd recommend this program.

Wow! This place truly lives up to its name and reputation. I enrolled my 4 year old (way early by…read moresome standards) in Genius Kids just to try it out and was it worth the investment or what! GK taught him penmanship, reading, tracing, writing, public speaking, projects, math and what not in less than 6 months, all while keeping it fun and exciting. Ms. Joanna who manages this place and is the program director is simply stellar. Their curriculum is very solid. Ms. Mila is a great teacher along with Ms. Joanna. I had enrolled my son just for kicks, but it turned out to be the best thing for him. I never thought he'd do this well under their guidance and supervision. Don't wait, give Genius Kids a shot if you truly want your kids to excel too, and become a genius!

Overall, we are very grateful for all the teachers' dedication, kindness, and care!

Gold Star Gymnastics has their act together when it comes to administration, signing up for…read moreclasses, and scheduling makeup classes. They are quite fair. Yes, their fees are quite high, but they mostly use young people as instructors. Some of them don't have a lot of experience in coaching, so the quality of coaching you get will vary. It is extremely competitive to get into the teams where you get better quality coaching. Just think of this as a place where your kids go to learn some gymnastics, but don't expect them to achieve any professional levels generally.

Avoid this center: A total waste of two years…read more Gold Star Gymnastics is a pure money-trap that prioritizes business over athlete development. My daughter came from a competitive background (Hot Shots at CSC) and is a world record holder in hula hooping, yet the coaches here showed zero interest in her potential. We invested in double classes and summer camps to accelerate her progress, but she was stuck in their "orange/yellow" level for a year with no path forward. The "coaches" never bothered to provide targeted training or help her reach the pre-team level. To make matters worse, they gave her crushing negative feedback right to her face after a pre-team evaluation, which ultimately caused her to quit gymnastics entirely. They rely on their central location to attract new families, but they do not care about the students. Save your time and money--look elsewhere.

The school main administrator Mrs Nora is very kind, listens when we have something to say and also very helpful. She interacts with every kid frequently and monitors closely on a daily basis which I don't think many schools do. They are not just diligent in academic teaching but also celebrating national festivals, conducting field trips frequently and having fun! Overall we are very much satisfied with the school.

The day is not specifically scheduled and kids have a chance to choose their own activities and where they want to go. I love the flexibility to drop off and pick up when you want; I love the refund policy. I love that they always, always check your ID when you check your kid out. There are rules and there are daily gatherings and traditions, which the kids like, but they have a lot of freedom. They often sprint through the doors so excited to be there. On countless occasions over many summers the counselors and Director have gone out of their way to help us with our specific issues. Highly recommend if you have an active kid or want an unstructured experience.

The camp is owned by Bright Horizons Family Solutions, which also operates licensed child care…read morefacilities. Those facilities are subject to significant CA regulations, including the right of parents to observe care unannounced whenever they want. This camp is not, which I found out when I waited more than 20 minutes for the camp to find my 4 year old and was not allowed to go find him, even with staff escort. If the company wants to run the camps with radically different policies from the licensed centers, they can. But I think they should spell out that policy on their website, and then parents can ponder why the policies are different. One possibility is they might not want parents to look into a room and see a bunch of 4 year olds staring at iPad screens? Parents can easily roam the outside areas where campers are playing, just not the inside rooms or hallway. Otherwise the camp has been decent. My son talks about the iPads the most.
