The facilities (beautiful shaded playground, fun classrooms and swimming pool!), welcoming and caring staff and teachers, and enrichment programs (Spanish, physical education, music) were all such a blessing. My daughter started when she was 3.5 with Mrs. Silva and Ms. Riley. My daughter typically has a hard time with new environments but got comfortable with the school right away - she only cried at her first drop off and never again. She ended the year with so many friends and great relationship with her teachers - especially Ms. Riley. She also learned all her letters and numbers. This year, she has been in the pre-K program with Ms. Adele and Mrs. Zangri. It has been a great year so far with learning math, science and sparkle words! My son started in the infant room a year ago with Ms. Alexa and Mrs. Taiko. In the fall, he moved to the toddler room with Mrs. Claudia, Mrs. Ana and Ms. Krysten. All the teachers are so loving and I can tell how my son has bonded with them. I especially loved all the work the teachers put into the open house and other family activities like the Halloween parade, grandparents day, and holiday performance. They create a great sense of community by involving the parents in so much of what goes on at the school. I would highly highly recommend this daycare/pre-school to any family that is close enough. We commuted from Chatsworth and it was totally worth it!

From the traditions of not running down hills (only up), not picking up sticks, and their ability to engage every kid they know what makes for a great environment within which to have fun- for every kid. And we have two very different kids- but both enjoy the fun and thoughtfully designed daily programs with some action/adventure and some quieter activities interspersed. Both our artsy 11 year old (who especially loves the songs and theatre and arts) and our sporty 9 year old (who loves especially loves handball and field and animals) have an amazing time - and both love pool and gaga. There's plenty of fun all day long with also interspersed signature programs each week like a hike to the lemonade tower, Olympics and Great Sleepouts under the stars (my kids love the food of that believe it or not!). The bus experience is a whole important part of the fun with songs and spirit and joy, and a "ready rabbit" competition that everyone loves to win- plus it's good for us parents to know the kids get out of the city into nature with professional drivers and enthusiastic staff members. The days start at morning mountain (with fun riddles for groups to solve and overviews of the day) and end everyday on friendship hill (celebrating milestones and birthdays) and both are always times of singing and forming those incredible foundational memories. And did I mention that the lunches are refrigerated during the day with frequent water breaks and cooling stations. This camp is great for young kids to get to feel comfortable going to camp and older kids who love developing their own leadership alike. As an educator of children for decades I appreciate this camp from a professional perspective and as a parent- my kids come over excitedly telling me all out all the fun they have had. 100000/10

The weightlifting area had a good amount of barbells, dumbbells, machines, and treadmills. I was able to get a good workout in, and, honestly, working out in the same region that Arnold Schwarzenegger and movie stars reside in made me want to work out harder haha. I wish there were more stationary bikes, but that's a nitpick. The stretching area is also in the walkway area, so it was kind of awkward stretching as people walked by or waited for their exercise class. Lockers and bathrooms were clean.

We recently returned to Judo at this location and I wanted to update. The facility is mostly…read morecompleted. Judo/gymnastics area is very well ventilated, the fans do make it difficult to hear but minor trade off. It's so well ventilated that kids don't get hot when they run. I also appreciate how special it is to have this Simi Valley Judo Club. It is one big class, so lots of opportunity for mixed age and mixed gender interactions. Often there are parent and kids enrolled at the same time. The cost is low, and duration is 1.5 hours twice weekly, so it doesn't hit the purse as hard if you need to miss a few lessons or join late. No makeups, which are time consuming for parents anyway. Newcomers can often progress quickly through the ranks due to the 3 hour per week duration (no belt testing and no additional fees). New ranks are awarded by Sensei based on observation of their behavior and their application of techniques at the daily randori. Randori is limited to the last 15 minutes of class, everyone sits and observes as 2 kids are called up to spar. So glad we returned.

Absolutely love The Little Gym in Simi!! Started taking my baby here a little over a month ago (at…read more9.5 months) and I regret not knowing about The Little Gym earlier because I would have taken her when she was much younger. When I first discovered the world of baby gyms, I looked into both here and another gym in the area. I ended up choosing The Little Gym because of 3 things: 1) Proximity. We are in Simi and I would have made the commute to the other gym if it was that much better, but it's not 2) Diversity. This might have to do with it being Simi Valley, but I liked the ethnic diversity that the neighboring city was lacking 3) Instructors wearing masks. I like how the instructors wear masks here. I feel like it sets a precedence for everyone, and shows care and concern for others. Not everyone wears masks and that's ok, even I myself only wear it some of the time. But something about them wearing masks I feel sets a good example of safety and cleanliness and is reassuring. My daughter is her happiest at The Little Gym! We love taking her there and will continue to take her there as often as we possibly can, even though we will be moving away from the area. Thank you Mr. Evan, The Little Gym classes are always the best part of our days!
