The staff was super engaging with the kids which is so important. They led the kid through activities, had them laughing, and they all had such a great time. We did a party at Lil' Kickers last year and it was fine, but the staff leading the party was not good at all. My Gym far exceeded my expectations. It was the best birthday party we've had yet and I would definitely sign up for their classes.

Mr Shegan is AWESOME! His way of handling stressed parent minutes before the big show, his way of…read moreengaging kids VIRTUALLY during the shows, my kid and her friends had a great time celebrating my daughter's birthday virtually. Mr Shegan called the day before to walk me through what would happened, so I appreciated the walk-through and gave me a level of comfort despite the backoffice chaos i experienced the last couple weeks. What's really dampening the supposingly-stress-free experience is the back-office arrangement. Some of the highlights below - So the zoom info was given to me when I booked the party back in May. I called a few times to confirm the zoom info a couple weeks prior to the party to make sure what I had on the invite was still correct. What really caused me a bit anxiety is that when they did "confirm" the zoom info with me over on email, the info sent over contains a couple other kids names and one of their party information. Granted nothing really personal was shared, but this made me wonder how they handles guest information in general. The day of the party, apparently, the guests and I were in a different zoom room from Mr Shegan's, the "registration" page we were sent to had a different party date/time options to pick from, which confused a lot of us. Many parents were texting me just few mins before the party while I was confused myself, and not sure what happened since it was slightly different from what Mr Shegan told me the day before. I think there's a change of personnel post-sales coz I couldn't reach the person who I contacted during the sales to confirm all the logistics. Everytime I contacted KSL, I reached the voicemail, emails were unanswered. Granted they did call you back rather quickly. But that's kinda annoying and added extra layer of stress to a planner like me. And suburb buyers be aware - if you want virtual party, kits pick up time is 9-4 in LP. During sales time, the lady told me that they could arrange weekend pickup given I live in the burbs and DO work regular 9-5. But obviously, this didn't happen. We had to make an arrangement for a quick trip to the city. All in all, the experience was 5+ star DURING the party time, but it was less than desired during the planning phase post-sales. Mr Shegan is def. the saving grace.

My son has spent countless hours at KSL Lincoln Park and has loved every minute. We began when he…read morewas three, and he's now six. We have utilized almost every service they have - weekly classes, winter/out of school camps/ summer camps and even the virtual summer camp! We obviously love this place. Post-COVID, he has participated in virtual and in-person camp. The virtual camp exceeded my expectations. I was afraid I'd have to spend the entire time helping him with experiments etc. Not at all. All the materials were shipped to my house and more detailed instructions (really expectations) emailed a few days prior. Really, I just put all the materials they shipped in a container, made sure the computer was plugged in and left him to it. He LOVED it! The entire week my kiddo maybe interrupted me once for work. Usually it was me sneaking downstairs to see what was happening bc I could hear him laughing or music (there's a 10 min snack break after an hour, one kid gets to pick a song - they dance/snack etc). I had my reservations about the virtual camp, but only have great things to say about it. My kitchen is a mess afterwards, but that happens anyway. In-person has also been good - temperature checks, masks, kids spaced out at tables. Everyone is obviously taken whatever precautions they can. Also, I appreciate everyone's flexibility. We had some last minute scheduling changes, but Keith and his team were beyond helpful and accomodating. KSL has given my son some sense of normalcy the past few months and it's very much appreciated.

I also love that in the Camps kids really learn how to swim-my older child, who does not love the water learned to swim at JCC camp- we did lessons for YEARS, without her progressing, and at three weeks of camp she went from a very weak swimmer, to a strong swimmer.

We've been going to Little Gym for over a year and absolutely love it. Our son is now 2 and we…read morestarted him in classes just after he started walking. I love that it's a mixture of structured and unstructured play, which is the perfect fit for our kiddo. It's been amazing to see what skills he has picked up from class. All of the coaches we've had have been wonderful (shoutout to Anna, Daniel, and Vanessa). Every week they have a theme and focus on different skills and give you ideas of what to do at home to continue the theme. The staff is super friendly and helpful. If we can't make it in or need to schedule a makeup class, it's easy to do via text or phone call.

Even without that nice perk, it was still a great place to take our son. They cover a large range of ages, and his first class was when he was little under a year and a half and couldn't quite walk yet. At that young, it's mostly teaching them how to listen to instructions, play on the equipment and tumble around. He was a little too young to directly socialize with the other kids but still had a blast. For younger ones parents are expected to be in the class with their child so be sure to keep that in mind. They often have "Parents Night Out" events where kids can be dropped off for an evening, but your boy was too young for those. Probably the best thing about Little Gym is how flexible they are with make up classes. Kids get sick, vacations come up, etc. and the make up system is really simple - basically as long as you let them know you're missing a class before it starts, you get a make up class in the bank that you can use. Since there are multiple instances of a class running in a week you just need to find a day that works for you and can use up those classes whenever. The staff here is great and the classes are always well structured. We'll definitely miss taking our little one but hopefully this can get others to take a trial class here.

Harmony has become our favorite play school. We have gotten to know Ginny and Maddie, and…read moreappreciate their efforts at creating a learning environment that is also fun, clean and safe for the toddler sessions. My son is part of the two days/week session, and it seems to be the right fit for us. We tried one day/week, as well as three days/week, but found the 2days/week session was enough for our 1 year old. You have options to create a schedule for your child, which is magnificent! Harmony is Montessori-based, so you will not find any commercialized cartoons or music here. They do have a music box with kid-oriented classical music on cards the children tend to play with (somewhat like the Tonies box). They have books and reading nooks in different spaces, toy stations throughout, and the kids tend to go and come as they please. There are group reading and singing/playing opportunities for the children, but mostly it is open play. My son enjoys seeing his friends here every week, and I think this is the best part of Harmony. There is a sense of community, with the majority of the children being locals. We are grateful for Harmony play school!

Everything is Montessori focused so no worries on screens or commercial characters de-focusing your children from meaningful play and socialization. I love the coffee/office space area for grown-ups to get some work done, even if it is just to read a quiet book or check some emails. What I love most though is their schedule/roster of events. Beyond just work and play, they offer tutoring and after school care, which is a unicorn of a find in the city. The place is so clean and well cared for, there's a consistent theme/vibe that's so welcoming. Will 100% be back and be spreading the word!
