The director was really nice. But the turn over was…read moreterrible. They had to place tape on the babies backs with their names written on the tape to keep up with who they were. My child got moved to other classrooms a lot. Her classroom only had 1 teacher so if the teacher ever had to miss they just moved all the kids over. When they did that I couldn't see her on the monitors. I think the teachers were getting kids confused because they would mark they changed my daughter's diaper, and I would come check on her & her home diaper would still be on. ( daycare diapers had her name written on them as required, so I could also tell if she had been changed or not.) sometimes she would go 5 hours or so without a real diaper change. Even though it was marked in the app that they had changed her. They would mark that they fed her 8 oz & then my 4 oz breastmilk bottles would still be in the fridge. So I think they were giving her someone else's milk. Also I could walk in & they would ask me which child was mine. So that definitely worried me. You don't have to be buzzed in( you do have a code) but if someone was in front of you, anyone could slip in while someone else was walking in the school & the teachers didn't know who the kid was much less what the parents looked like. They had pictures of the babies in their own classroom, but since they had to always move them to the older room their pictures weren't in there. Since there was only 1 teacher that meant babies were left crying while she held one baby, or changed a diaper or fed any of them. I'm pretty sure it was the cafeteria staff that would come relieve the teacher for her lunch break. They were all nice people but extremely under staffed, with a high turnover over rate. We left really shortly after we started and found an amazing daycare where there are 4 teachers for about 10 babies. Even the toddlers class has 3-4 teachers all the way until they are two. And we pay less now. The new school has better cameras & more security. Unlimited log ins at our new school. The infants have their own "playground" and go outside everyday weather permitting. it's covered so you don't have to worry about the sun as much. **** update. I didn't post my first or last name on yelp. So that makes sense that you couldn't pull my name off of any database. I also believe it was my spouse that registered our child. However, my child did attend this school. I struggled to post this because I truly thought the staff was nice. But as a parent I would want to know the experience we had. The school was just severely understaffed & everyone was new. Teachers walked out in the middle of the day & quit it got so bad. Those things can be fixed. Thank you for your response, and the invitation to speak with you.

I was shocked at how the kids were being heavily & loudly screamed at. They were being reprimanded for ripping posters off walls and threatened with losing bathroom privileges. It was followed by a younger adult screaming at the entire group of students at the top of her lungs military style. It was so jarring that my two kids were terrified. She screamed like a drill sergeant things like, "you sit up straight when people are talking to you, especially when an adult is speaking to you." It was like an episode of scared straight and they were felons. I told them I wanted to hear what was happening and that I didn't like what was going on there and if this was normal. The woman said, "yes, it's summer camp." So I said okay I'm not interested in signing them up and walked out. If your kids use this camp, please beware!!!!

He had taken swim lessons before as an infant but we are starting back up at 7 years old. I feel this is an incredible value, 30 minutes weekly is ample time for my son and others in the area are just 20 minutes. His teacher Michelle is amazing! She's very caring and makes the pool even more fun for the students. They really are team oriented and you can see managers or other staff jumping in to help instruct, if needed. The facility is very clean and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Last week it was raining and the woman at the front desk was even escorting families without umbrellas to and from their cars. Come on now! That's some great service! The changing rooms, pool area, restrooms, and waiting area are all clean and comfortable spaces.

My wife and I brought our 3-year-old daughter here to start swim lessons…read more The package we got covered several months and it was $382 that we paid upfront.  We were pleased for about the first month and a half, and my daughter appeared to be catching on with her lessons well. Then we needed to call out because she was sick.  The staff told us that a makeup class would be an extra $5 charge.  We disagreed with this because it encourages parents to bring in sick children during a pandemic so they can avoid paying any money extra than the money they paid initially for the package. My wife called and talked to the school, and then also emailed a manager to see if there was anything they could do to waive the fee.  Neither call was productive, they informed us that that's how their business model works, but they still expect parents to keep their children home if they're not feeling well.   Initially when we signed up we were told there was a $30 military discount that was supposed to waive the application fee.  They charged us for this anyway... and we didn't catch it until we saw it was taken out.  When we had asked them about this, they said that they will still have to charge us a transaction fee of $11 to send the money back to us. Even though it was their mistake. So we never really got a military discount. Even though we were promised it. The lessons are 30 minutes a piece, and they are divided up on how many children happen to be with that teacher, up to three. Which would indicate that the child receives between 15 minutes and 10 minutes of Hands-On instruction during each lesson. To summarize..   -They promised us a discount we never got... -Charged us for a make up lesson when we kept our daughter home sick. -$382 / 18 lessons equals $21.22 per lesson, covering 10 to 15 minutes of Hands-On instruction. Overall, terrible value for the money and an inflexible company that uses poor business model puting children's safety and health at higher risk. also. There's a sign posted in the school that says "if you are not satisfied with today's lesson another will be provided for free" then why do they keep trying to charge us more money? Review edited to take off one star. After seeing emler's response. They stated that they would give us a military discount and then they changed the business arrangement once they had our money. Their review does not apologize, or try to resolve any issue. When discussing the $5 penalty for rescheduling a class. They claim that they do it to maintain "schedule integrity". Their integrity is worth $5? There is a pandemic happening and we are talking about the safety and health of our kids.

My family purchased a three-month membership through Groupon for our two children (6&9) with Double…read moreDragon in 2020. Positives: Master Mark the owner was willing to coordinate with us on scheduling and the kids being beginners trying something new. The location is wonderful with a large facility, ample seating, and clean well-kept space. Our kids learned the basics and overall enjoyed their time spent at Double Dragon including the joy of earning their first belts. Master Mark was also attentive to our kids as they learned the basics, stepping in to help when they needed additional instruction. Negatives: Our primary reason for not committing to this business long-term is that our kids are used to positive reinforcement through their school and at home and we found the approach Double Dragon uses to be contrary to our values. At times, it was reminiscent of boot-camp for kids. A second concern is that Master Mark was not present as often as we would expect. There are two young adults/older teens that lead the lessons on a regular basis as confirmed by other reviewers. From an outsider perspective, there are some behaviors of these two young leaders that indicate immaturity and getting their ego fed by pushing young children to do their bidding by shaming and belittling. We do believe this is what they have been taught as a leadership approach modeling Master Mark. Also not appropriate for children, in our opinion, is the sexually inappropriate music choices playing during practice. Finally, we signed up during COVID and found very little enforcement of parental masking. If you are looking for a place of old-school discipline, where your kids will be pushed to their limits and beyond through threats and punishments, then this might be a good fit for your family. Overall, it was not the right fit for our kids, and we would not recommend this business.

I was happy to learn that Patrick was knowledgeable and clear in his instruction. He added some wholesome humor and was also very humble.
