Kalpana, the director, is one of the most patient, kind, and genuinely loving people we've met working with kids. Her compassion for every child really shines through -- you can tell she truly cares. The teachers were energetic, warm, and made sure the kids had a blast every day. This review also wouldn't be complete without commending Sourav, who has built such an amazing program -- a thoughtful curriculum, a great inventory of engaging toys and activities, always keeping the kids busy, and hiring compassionate, driven staff who are the perfect fit. We will absolutely keep coming back. Highly recommend to any family looking for a caring, nurturing program for their kids.

Just to clarify: KM2A refers specifically to the after-school and pickup service. Reviews prior to 2026 mention KM2A's taekwondo program, which they no longer offer as of January 2026. Like others have noted, some drivers are better than others--but overall it solves our biggest challenge of juggling different pickup times, and the kids consistently get their homework done. Since we also love the taekwondo studio downstairs, this setup has basically become our favorite parenting life hack to simplify the week.

When I asked him which camp he would want to sign up for next year, he listed Camp Imagineerz as his "must" choice without hesitation. Pick up and drop off were all seamlessly done. The third party lunch option offered at the camp was amazing. All the staff I had encounters with had positive and upbeat energy. The curriculum is focused on creativity, problem solving and social emotional skills, and they weave these skills together by planning and prepping for weekly skits they put out at the end of each week. My son absolutely loved this camp, and we will definitely return.

At the end of the camp, parents are invited to see what the kids constructed during the week and they put on a show for you. What I was most impressed with was that they instill in the kids this "I-Can" mindset, which teaches the kids what to do when they face adversity, issues and driving that positive mindset that they can overcome it. The most fun part is at the end of camp where, the kids get to "dunk" the counsellors with water which always ends with squeals of delight ... This is a truly fun and creative camp that I'm sure any child will enjoy!!

Of course,…read morewith the closure, we are disappointed that they don't provide day time supervision for small groups of students. They could have teachers there to ensure that the students do their homework. This is what many after school programs are doing, all over the Bay Area. What I also didn't appreciate is that in March, they didn't refund families for the portion of the tuition that we did not use. The kids only attended Mustard Seed for half the month, but we all had paid for the entire month. When I asked the owner about a partial refund, she refused and forced me to apply it for the fall quarter. Well, they are closed for the fall quarter. So, this was just a circuitous ploy for the owner to keep our money! This is not fair. We should only pay for the services that we use. That's how a business should operate. I also don't approve of paying the driver for the entire month, when the students have spring and winter break, when the driver is not working. These extra fees all add up. Please be more financially fair to your loyal clients. Thank you.

While the head lifeguard instructed, several counselors and junior counselors were in the water, with kids sitting on the edge waiting for their turn, kicking and splashing. The owner/operators were fabulous, such a pleasure to visit with them.

Our child is naturally a bit shy, but they thoroughly enjoyed the ice breakers and activities conducted by Mr. J. Professor Tammie and Mr. J instantly made our child feel comfortable and welcomed within the group. We were pleasantly surprised to see our child actively responding to questions and even volunteering during the sessions. One of our child's favorite moments was "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," performed by Professor Tammie. The expressive storytelling, hand gestures, and facial expressions made a lasting impression. Since attending the class, our child has started incorporating techniques such as vocal modulation, gestures, facial expressions, and the speaker's triangle into their own storytelling at home. Our child was also deeply inspired by the stories presented by the other children in the class, which motivated them to choose storytelling as their talent for the school talent show. The instant positive and guided feedback provided by Mr.J during the various practice sessions helped immensely. Professor Tammie's encouragement and feedback, especially coming from such a wonderful storyteller, truly boosted our child's confidence and inspired them to express themselves more freely. We are truly happy with the progress our child made throughout the class and were delighted by their confidence and performance during the final presentation. Thank you to the entire team for all the hard work and for designing such a thoughtful and well-structured program. Looking forward to try out other classes.

This review is to inform other parents of a very humiliating and demoralzing experience my daughter…read morehad at Camp Via West. I spoke to the CEO and he was very gracious. He showed a general concern for my camper and requested my input in asking what improvements can be made for next year. We spoke through e-mail and a zoom call where I shared my thoughts and experiences. From the negativity of this cumulative experience, his compassion was so welcomed. After four relatively successful sessions at Camp Via West, the last session was an utter mess. Every counselor can be drastically different. It can range from winning the lottery to playing Russian Roulette with your campers well being. Our campers well being should not be in the hands of counselors who may have little or no experience working with special needs. I feel validated after reading the last three Yelp reviews where parents had very similar experiences to mine. Some of the complaints had to do with lack of experienced staff, no therapists or behavior specialists on camp grounds, rudeness and lack of empathy, the camp director having lack of awareness of issues happening in real time, and our campers files and behaviors are not shared with the staff. Adding to this; the camp director being very abrupt and inflexible in making decisions about the campers future placement and not willing to listen to experienced parents explanations about the reasoning behind certain behaviors which personal files collaborated information. I wrote a comment about the camp online and a seasoned counselor who worked there since 2011 replied. She wrote that right before the summer started she was fired abruptly. It made no sense to her already being hired for the summer and she was highly fond of both Via West and the campers. I don't know the context of the firing- though a counselor with her expertise would have been ideal for a lot of the new counselors to emulate. I am so proud of my daughter for how well she is developing in conjunction with her disability. I have worked with her tirelessly on her development. She is so happy, cheerful, respectful and well behaved. I take her to a myriad of outside activities and at school there is not one behavior goal in her IEP. Alleged behaviors arose at camp which were unusual for my daughter. She is verbal though delayed, having a speech and language impairment. She has a communication device for language breakdowns. I believe her device may have been confiscated at night with other comfort toys causing her to feel vulnerable. My trust has been eroded. I am so worried that she was left vulnerable during the evenings and that terrifies me. When we send our kids with disabilities to camp we trust they will be safe. I know for sure if my daughter who nevers shows any negative behaviors started to show them; this is a huge red flag. Not only was it humiliating that I was called to pick her up early. On pick-up day she was looking so sad in the cafeteria, I asked her what's wrong? My usually cheerful daughter tells me they took her bop-it. I find her toy which gives her some relief. I know that my job at this moment is to protect her. At breakfast the mood among campers was eerily quiet flowing with low energy. I felt many eyes on my daughter but no one said anything. Possibly sensing sadness from her, she was now being stared at and possibly ridiculed for being sent home. It felt like the camp was turning their back on her and unbelievably they were no goodbyes. We decided to say good-bye to a beautiful hearted counselor named Lucia. As a parent, I wanted my daughter to leave on a positive note. If nobody was going to say bye to her, I would have my daughter go over to Lucia who was with a group of counselors. To my relief, Lucia opened her arms and heart to my daughter. She said, "Come here" and all the counselors in her group followed suit saying their goodbyes. It was such a beautiful moment which I captured taking photo's. Sadly though, it ended abruptly when both the night counselor and her day counselor approached, escorting us away, saying,"We don't want the other campers to get homesick." It felt very suspicious, unbelievable being escorted away like that, as we did something reprehensible. To make matters worse, they tell the camp director misinformation at the reception area, where more counselors are gathered, that I'm taking pictures of campers. The director in a vociferous tone that was both admonishing and accusatory in nature, repeated, "You're taking pictures of campers and to delete them. " I later got an apology from her through an e-mail, though to be spoken like that was brutal and disheartening. A thought - who are the less experience counselors emulating and should the camp director be taking the word of counselors over dedicated parents who have vast amounts of knowledge? Camps like this are made for my daughter where her independence has blossomed; so lets please demand positive change.

Maybe with the…read moreintake information an IEP and behavior plan should be included and looked over by all staff before each session. When it comes to neurodiversity it's not ever a one fits all and the experience could probably be more individualized, similar to a school program. An experienced, licensed behavioral specialist and therapist should be on site to aid with kids with special behavioral issues. Basic training should be backed by specialists. When an issue arises the parent should be notified immediately to help with supporting staff. When staff doesn't know an individual it's easy to confuse behaviors. Overall this staff and facility is undertrained, unprofessional, unorganized, dirty and combative. Staff takes neurodivergent behaviors personally and lets their emotions rule. Staff, surrounds, confronts and calls parent and attendee derogatory names in front of other staff, parents and campers and disrespects parent when parent is just sitting waiting for her camper. My attendee had overstimulated, stressed behaviors that were not identified or handled properly. However, she did make some friends and enjoyed her time with her new friends. I would not recommend this camp for highly spirited independent teenagers.
