If I could put negative stars, I would. First off my one and…read moreonly child went there for two years first year she was fine. Second year had bullies. Supposedly they have a no bullying policy. Well, on several occasions, my child and several children were being bullied, and it was brought to the counselors attention to the main offices attention, and to the owners/guy who runs it attention. supposedly the child that was bullying My child and several others should have be kicked out. That's what their policy states that didn't happen. My child had to endure being bullied or what happened was we left and did not get our money back even when brought to their attention on numerous occasions that that bullying child was still there! And bullying is supposedly against their guidelines. The situation is I have one child and they were only getting paid for one child. The kid that bullied. My child had siblings so if they kicked that child out, the parents were gonna take the other children out and ask for their money back for their children. So does sum it up if your child gets bullied, they will do nothing about it. You just make your child summer a living hell!

She has only been enrolled a few days and has already expressed how much she loves Stargazer and her group leader Stony. I remember being up at 2:00 am in early February, contemplating how to work out summer childcare and my work schedule. Instead of resting for work, I googled summer day camps in Brooklyn and Stargazer was the first option that came up. I called later that morning, left a message and promptly received a call back. I was pleased with the information Gordon, the camp's director provided and wanted to be sure I guaranteed a spot for my daughter immediately following our conversation. I am grateful to have found such a hidden gem in Brooklyn which is also reasonably priced and enriching. Melissa enjoys Stargazer Day Camp and thank you so much for the bus driver reference. The service is working out amazingly. When I initially met Shawn, he reassured me that my little one was in good hands and answered all the questions I nervously rattled off at him. He mentioned Ted the other driver. She is very professional and courteous. Ted calls before picking Melissa up and dropping her off, and it is definitely a huge plus that she is always on-time. Awesome, awesome, awesome service all across the board!!! Neisha-Ann

But the pool has many…read moreissues, there are 3 lanes, fast lane, middle lane and slow lane when it comes to swimming but the rules don't get enforced, you constantly have little kids and old people in the fast lane just hogging it swimming like they're on vacation. This makes getting an intensive workout in difficult when it comes to the pool, they need to enforce the rules. If people constantly have to pass you in a lane, you don't belong in a fast lane. Second issue is the gymnasium, you barely have time to play your favorite sport. They will dedicate hours of time to useless sports like tennis, soccer, pickleball? It's very inconvenient and not worth it. One thing I did like is the Sauna, the Sauna I had no problems with, it was never full and it does its job.

Thanks to Christina K. for signing up my membership . every time I'm off from work i come here to relax in the gym or the pool , just get away from my problems to relax my mind .in the indoor pool area there a life guard on premises and there place upstairs for parents or guest to watch and sit down when there swimming lessons in sessions !!!! P.S. There have lot of Kids activities , like summer camp and after school camp . There affiliated with the YMCA. i was doing some research i never knew YMCA started in London, U.K. (lol I'm reading this comment on someone review about the y , name : Mike H. , he mentions he rather leave his kids with Michael Jackson instead of this place or let his kids play on the highway , lol .

They truly understand and support each child as an individual, and it shows in how confident, curious and happy the students are. As a family-run school now in its second generation, Midwood Montessori has a strong sense of community. The mixed-age classrooms encourage kids to learn from each other and grow at their own pace, in an environment rooted in kindness and respect. Our son is starting his third year (kindergarten) and we've seen tremendous growth--socially, emotionally, and academically. He loves his school, and we're excited for our daughter to join next year. Midwood Montessori provides a strong foundation, and it's easy to see why families stay through kindergarten. The children graduate as independent learners and leaders, well prepared to enter a wide range of public and independent schools.
