My son has been going to BGCT since he was in Kindergarten. He just started middle school this…read moreyear, and when I asked if he'd like to go home after school he replied that he'd rather continue going to the club. He's made friends there, and the staff has taken care of him for all these years. Mr. Antonio has been a steady presence from day one. Even when my son has gotten into trouble for poor behavior, the staff notified me accordingly and treated us with respect while firmly standing behind their policies. They also have the most extended hours available for before and after school care to give working parents more time for pick up. Eventually my son will outgrow the need for after school supervision, but until then, I fully trust that he's in good hands.

We booked a Birthday Celebration here for 10-12 kids and it was a wonderful and stress free…read moreexperience. The kids had a lot of fun. The staff literally planned and set up everything for us. They allowed outside food and cake to be brought in. You can also decorate the room too, but if not they will have it ready for you with their decorations. They also helped with clean up afterward as well. We booked everything online and was later contacted by staff and was emailed all information regarding what to expect and pretty much everything you need to know. You get to pick the theme for the painting portion. They provide all materials for the kids and set up everything. It doesn't get any easier to be honest. The staff was attentive and so sweet throughout the process. I highly recommend if you're looking to book a celebration for your little artist and their special friends.

My 4 year old daughter loves art. She will sit and paint for hours at a time…read more Because of her interest, I researched art academies in our area and found Fibo. I had no prior experience with Fibo. All I knew is they offered a free class and I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it out. Well, she absolutely LOVED it. She was smiling from ear to ear the entire class. When she finished she came right up to me and asked when she could go again. For my child, FIBO is a perfect fit. However, I think it all depends on your child's personality. Is he/she able to sit and listen for an hour and follow direction? Does he/she have an interest in art and a desire to learn new styles & techniques? This is a true art school, in that your child is learning the foundations, new mediums and art history. This isn't a place for a four year old to "express their creativity". For example, if the project is a brown turkey, every child is learning how to paint a brown turkey.... not a pink, yellow, etc turkey. It's about following directions, learning how to use a paintbrush properly, mixing colors, etc. I highly recommend FIBO!

We've had an amazing experience at Goldfish Swim School with our 4 year old twins…read more The staff is what truly sets this place apart. Everyone is kind, caring, and you can tell they love what they do. The facility is extremely clean, and the viewing area is the best I've seen. The huge glass window makes you feel like you're right there with your child. What means the most to me is how they work with my son, who is level 3 autistic and loves the water. Their lead instructor, Norma, is incredible. She specializes in working with kids on the spectrum and handles my son with so much patience, calmness, and positivity, even when his behavior can be challenging. It gives me real peace of mind. She is a 10 out of 10. At the same time, my other 4 year old has moved up four levels in just six months and is now swim safe. Big thank you to the managers, Shaan and Raj, who are always accommodating and easy to communicate with. If you are looking for a swim school that truly understands and supports children on the autism spectrum, I highly recommend Goldfish.

Goldfish is great! One of my favorite things about them is their customer service, which has been…read moreexceptional. Every time I call, text, or speak to someone in person, they are kind, friendly, positive, upbeat, and understanding. My son loves the pool and seeing Bubbles the Goldfish everywhere (and the turtle). The whole facility is very cute and clean. They have plenty of dressing rooms and bathroom stalls, a vanity with hairdryers, cotton swabs, and hair ties, showers on the pool deck with body wash, a fish tank, and a kids table with magnatiles, crayons, and blocks. The class sizes are small (6 students in Mini classes) and well-paced. The water is very warm and the instructors are encouraging and understanding. My son mostly just wants to play with the balls and barbell floatie so we like that toys are incorporated. They have a lot of membership options (month to month, seasonal packages, etc) and were very easy to reschedule with when needed. Parking can be limited in the evenings because of the surrounding businesses so plan accordingly. Happy swimming!

I've been sending my three daughters here for after-school care, and they absolutely love it…read more Beyond just finishing their homework on time, they also get to learn additional subjects that prepare them for future lessons. Elite provides excellent learning tools, including laptops, apps, and books, and they help parents actively track their children's daily progress. The kids are separated into different rooms based on their learning levels, which helps them stay focused and avoids distractions. Most importantly, the educators have college degrees and experience with children. They genuinely love and care for the kids, which sets this place apart from so many others.

Excellent, qualified teachers! Great support and a professional learning environment!read more

They genuinely loved him and it showed. He learned a lot in his Tk room sometimes I think more than the average TK class would.
