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.

Was about to leave when another parent arrived and they said it was unusual for them to have a Sunday class but he was given that date as well. No one showed and before then my wife had made multiple attempts to call during the week to make sure they would be open for Easter and no one ever answered her calls. Pretty lousy planning and customer care. Will be asking for a refund and finding a new swimming class.

The site supervisor, Monica, is excellent. She communicates concerns and praises regarding my daughter's behavior and performance with us often. We receive frequent updates on how she's doing. They engage in many fun activities as well as structured learning groups and events. It's really nice that she gets to interact daily with many of the kids from Elk Grove Elementary throughout all grades. The Summer Camp options are great as well. We are glad to have chosen EGE CDC for our childcare needs and trust that she's in good hands.

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!

I wish there were more places to take the kids that teach them fun, hands on, real world skills. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this if you are a parent that has a child always wanting to play video games/Fortnite and can't pull them away from the screen! This will definitely make them appreciate all that goes into developing a game. I can't speak much to this part, but it even looks like they have a camp that teaches how to code drones that they can fly around.

"There is no beginning, there is no end. The end is another beginning"…read moreQuote by; Shi Qiu. Artist. The above quote came to mind when I recently visited "Elk Grove Space 4 Art" at the new location 2350 Maritime Drive, Elk Grove, CA. 95758. Phone 916-209-0283. The interior setup reminded me off that philosophy. Starting at one side of the studio, going around the building, again meeting up at the beginning, starting all over, forming a "Circle of Art" never to end. Dedicated rooms, for the many facets of Art. Drawing, Painting, Ceramics, and many more activities. Starting at 5yrs old, also and a great place for adults interested in expanding their interest in Art and or improving their skills. I found the visit, the personal tour from Jezebel, a most pleasant, and impressive experience. Not only looking at the facility but recognizing the very skillfully layout and thinking behind the curriculum speaks off an ounce again successful Art Center.

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.

That way I can enjoy a lil extra time doing errands and grocery shopping. Great job Serendipity Center!

Parking is readily available. It's easy to register your child online and they accept payment plans if needed. They're well organized and do a great job overall communicating with the children and parents. You'll need to download the Band app which many other theater companies utilize as well to communicate reminders. Our little one has had pleasant experiences and made new friends. It's built her confidence and she thoroughly enjoys performing. Tickets are reasonably priced and we're looking forward to seeing her in their upcoming Willy Wonka production. It's a great way for children in the Elk Grove area to participate in children's theater. Performances are currently held downtown, but everything is well spelled out beforehand. They're also great at answering questions in a timely manner. They offer a variety of shows, so don't fret if the first one you see isn't up your child's alley.

My daughter had a lead role in a production of this company about 10-12 years ago. I do believe…read morethey did a great job of creating a good performance. What I don't like is how I was treated as the mother of a girl that was considered to be loose with boys. She had a crush on a boy that was also in the same production, and his mother/guardian didn't like my daughter, so consequently, my daughter gained a very bad reputation, and with the organizers of the performances. What my complaint is that I purchased 3 copies of videos of the show and never received any. I kept asking for them, and never received them. Was I being judged as a bad mother and then they decided I couldn't have the videos? I have no proof. When I purchased the videos right after the performance, in the back of the gym where the performance was, there was a table there with one of the organizers of the show attending it, selling future videos of the show. I wrote my name down on the list, which performance she was in, and it was recorded that I bought three videos. I asked for a receipt and the lady said that I didn't need one, my name and contact information was on the sheet, therefore, I didn't need a receipt. After weeks of asking for the videos, after it was announced that the video was available, I finally gave up. That is criminal behavior! I was hated for being the mother of a girl they considered to be loose, and therefore, they would not give me the videos I paid for, is my guess, what else? They knew that I didn't have proof of paying, so I couldn't prove anything. How horrible! Not only did I gain a bad reputation, I didn't get what I paid for. So these people judged me (didn't know me at all), and it was them who had criminal behavior. All I really want is a video of my daughter performing, even one!

My partner's sister planned out an amazing and super cute birthday party for her adorable child! She went all out on the decorations and food! The staff was very friendly and helped with everything from the set up and activities to clean up. When we had about 30 minutes left they also reminded us that everyone will have to leave right when the session is over or a few minutes before because they probably need to do a deep clean for another reservation. The booking lasted between 2 to 2.5 hours and it was just the right amount of time for kids to play around and for everyone to enjoy the food! I liked how there was an accessible sink and plenty of trash cans and paper towels available for messes. There are also clean bathrooms with slippers available right inside of the gymnasium. We all had a great experience here!

The…read morestaff suggested him to be in the beast class, which was for 19months-30months instead of the 11:30am birds class for 10-19months. I mainly chose the classes based on the time because my little one's nap time is still unpredictable, but the staff was very accommodating. I was allowed to enroll in the later one and show up to the earlier class if the timing works. Being from out of town, the timing and schedule doesn't always work. I had to cancel before due to illness. I appreciate how accommodating the owner and staff were, especially of the unpredictability of toddlers. Anywhere with a bunch of toddlers is always chaotic and the environment felt safe. There was an agenda, but if the little bosses wanted to do their own thing, they were allowed. It was my toddler's first time in a gym exposed to so many kids of his own age. He was more engaging with the equipment than the other kids, but still had a lot of fun. If I'm in town for longer durations, I would definitely sign up again!
