We recently tried Space 4 Art because we thought it might be a great creative outlet for my…read moredaughter, especially since she really enjoys art. Going in, I think we were expecting something a little more free flowing and open creatively, more of an environment where there wasn't really a right or wrong way to create and kids could fully lean into their own ideas and style. What we found was that the class felt a bit more structured than we were personally looking for. That's not necessarily a bad thing at all, and I could definitely see how that style would work really well for kids who prefer more guidance and direction. It just ended up not being the best fit for my daughter's personality and the kind of creative environment we were hoping for. Everyone was nice, and the space itself was welcoming, it just ultimately wasn't quite the art experience we had envisioned for her. Helpful tip: If your child enjoys more structured instruction and guided projects, this may be a really good fit. If they prefer a more open-ended creative style, it's probably worth asking questions about the class format beforehand. Unfortunately it just didn't end up being the right fit for us personally.

Huge fan. The projects they have the kids working on are wonderful. The supplies are endless and…read morethe teachers support and guidance are wonderful. We felt very accepted and immediately part of a special community. Looking forward to trying the pottery class soon.

Friends had their child birthday party here, so my experience is more as a guest since I didn't…read moreswim. I arrived with my girlfriend in a lot I've passed hundreds of times probably, and been in onl a few. And this was the forst time that ai even knew this swim center even existed; tucked away in the back right corner next to Baguettes bakery. Once we entered once of the staff asked for our names which I wasn't sure why at first, but then later realized it was for some registration. We told them we were going to be swimming but we had to fill out a registration form anyways. Maybe it was for insurance purposes, but I was told there was a max number of people who could be there which I thought was off, that guests could/would be capped. Or maybe there was more charges for larger groups, which is weird since you have the pool scheduled for your party, so size should matter. The pool consisted of 4 lanes if I remember correctly, with a length of maybe 25 meters and a depth a 5 ft max. There is a nice gazebo type area to the far back where full shade is provided, and have a number of picnic tables to sit out. And on the side of the pool, opposite of the staff area, there were several more table with large umbrellas to sit under out of the sun. Our party was from 1-4 and was also told we had to be out by 4:15 otherwise there would be additional charger. So we had to help packed up a little early and rush to get all of our stuff out before 4:15, so that additional charge wasn't incurred. Overall: The kids definitely had fun whoch was a plus, but the logistics to rent the place could be a lot better in my opinion. Minus some of those additional charges and rush to be in and out of this facility.

Went here to take my granddaughter to swim class. Although…read morethe front office is not organized- the person at the desk didn't help- (Said she was sitting there until the person who actually ran it came back)- I found the facility to be in decent shape. The staff is friendly. The instructor who trained my granddaughter- Jayla (not sure if I spelled it correctly) was very gentle but firm in her approach with the children who were ages 3-5. She even took the time to engage the parents after class to advise where the kids confidence levels were and how she would work on them in future classes. There were other ages groups being taught in different areas of the water. The pool itself was clean and looks well kept. Overall I felt safe with my granddaughter there. I'd definitely recommend this center for anyone thinking about attending swim classes.

From the age of 3 my son has showed a fascination for video games. As of recent, to my delight, he…read morehas shown interest in the creation of video games (coding). In order to assess his level of interest, I downloaded the trial version of an iPhone game/app called Code Spark Academy. This app allows the user to create the intricate details (levels, rewards, etc.) of a game and then play the game. During this time I noticed that his traditional games and even television shows were put on the backburner. While driving through Elk Grove I noticed a new (at least new to me) establishment called Code Ninjas. I immediately found their website and saw that they offered a coding camp based on the popular platform Roblox. Thankfully, the class was being offered on a day that fell within my son's holiday break. Before registering my son for the class, I ran it by him and he enthusiastically said "YES!" After submitting the payment information, I received a welcome packet from Code Ninjas (outlining the facility rules) that I quickly completed and submitted. The morning of the camp I packed a lunch for my son (Code Ninjas does not provide lunch), and we hit the road! After being warmly greeted by the employee at the front desk, I signed in my son, kissed him, and sent him off to explore the world of coding! When I arrived to pick him up, he did not want to leave. Aside from putting the finishing touches on the game that he created for Roblox, he was "networking" with his fellow coding camp buddies. During our ride home, he could not stop talking about the coding camp. He explained to me in detail the game that he created and that his game was saved so that he could resume the modification of the game upon a return visit. I highly recommend Code Ninjas for any parent that has a child that expresses interest in coding. Yes it is a bit pricey ($89 for the coding camp), but it will definitely pay off (literally) in your child's future! I am already planning on registering my son for the Minecraft Coding Workshop. Thank you Code Ninjas!

Whether your child is a beginner, intermediate or advanced basketball player, Encore Basketball…read moreTraining is where you want your aspiring hooper to be. Here they will learn the basic fundamentals of basketball and improve their footwork, shooting techniques, dribbling, ball handling & passing, etc. Roburt Sallie, is the owner and trainer who has first hand experience playing from the ranks of AAU, high school, D1 college, and professionally overseas. He has a keen eye for identifying strengths and weaknesses in a player, and using that to help develop them into a stronger, more confident person/player, on and off the court. I've seen him take a player with no experience to making their 6th grade basketball team. Another player that could barely make a 3 point shot if it could save his life, to scoring the most 3 in his division. Another player that was struggling in school and not qualified to play, to now getting a 3.0 GPA and leading the team and on his way to college. With Roburt Sallie, it's more than just training. He is extremely passionate and very much invested into each and every one of the kids he trains. His skills clinics and camps are giving what our community and youth need. A place to perfect your passion, while also keeping you safe and active. He typically has a skills clinic 2-3x a week split off into grades 1-5 and grades 6-12. $30 per 90 minute session. The first 60 minutes are usually skills training and the final 30 minutes playing in a tournament format. The camps are typically held during summer/winter. Always very well executed from the specialized training, games, special guests, etc. The facility itself is large and well maintained. Two full size courts and plenty of equipment. Roburt offers private, semi-private, group and team trainings. I personally have a 4 year old that has been with him for the last year. He is a bit on the younger side and can't necessarily shoot the ball into a standard height hoop, but he loves basketball! That being said, we want expose him to it as much as possible. In the last year he has gone from barely being able to dribble, to dribbling up and down the court with one hand, footwork, and basketball drills. While he doesn't play during the tournament style games at the end, he's able to keep up during the group trainings with the older kids that are grades 1-5. I can only imagine as he continues to train, the level he will be at once he actually gets to their age!

The package included food, snacks, and drinks, and they let us store our ice cream cake in the freezer. This obstacle course is SO MUCH FUN. Everyone was laughing and screaming. We felt like Dude Perfect! When we got tired, there were so many options to recharge: giant chess or cornhole, watching the wakeboarders, or just sunning on the turf beside our cabana. I noticed a lot of the negative reviews are about the water quality. This is not a pool, so the water is not clear; it has vegetation; and stocked fish control for mosquitoes. Since we already read about this online, we were neither surprised nor grossed out. It was a fun day outdoors! The office staff were super warm, hospitable, and accommodating. Even as we added to our food order last minute (because I saw how active the kids were being... they were ravenous!), they flexed with our request. The pizza was hot; the fruit was refreshing. We felt so well cared for! Safety-wise, I'm glad we brought older kids, mostly very strong swimmers, and vigilant parents. The course is large, and there are spots that are invisible from the lifeguards' posts. We had to initiate with the lifeguards a few times because they weren't giving us any information/direction. (eg: Can we start? Where do we start? Any rules we need to know? Are you still on break, or can we go in again?) They did not seem to have a system for the lifejackets. They were sleepy and eager to clock out. This is the first open weekend of the season; I trust they will establish consistent group protocols as the summer goes on. We had a great time and mostly guarded our own kids. We are eager to return again someday soon! THANK YOU for such a memorable, creative, raucous birthday party in the sun!

Shadow Glen Riding Stables was hands down the best field trip we have been on in years!…read moreAs a 3rd-grade teacher, I cannot say enough good things about Terry and the wranglers. They were welcoming, patient, knowledgeable, and made every student feel included. Our students had an incredible opportunity to learn about ranch and farm life, tractors, horses, foals, farm animals, hay, and the daily responsibilities of caring for a ranch. The hands-on experiences were the highlight of the day. Students were able to groom horses, interact with animals, ask questions, and gain a real appreciation for agriculture and animal care. Terry and his team kept the students engaged from beginning to end. What made this experience even more special was Terry Howard's generosity. Shadow Glen donated approximately three hours of their time at no charge to educate three classes of Center Joint Unified School District students. That level of community support is truly appreciated. Our students are still talking about the trip, and the adults had just as much fun as the kids. It was an outstanding experience from start to finish.
