The instructor did an amazing job rotating through activities around the gym -- trampoline, foam pit, dodge ball, tag, ending on the much anticipated ninja course. He struck a really good balance of keeping things fun, while also keeping the boys in check to not get too wild. The private party room was excellent as well. It's a really great balcony setup to observe for the parents that stayed to watch. The helpers in the party room did a great job of keeping the flow (setting up tables, bringing out cake, cleaning up, etc). I really recommend this place for a birthday party. It was a really well run and a great unique birthday event.

I cannot say enough good things about Alpha Gymnastics and its incredible team! Colleen, the gym…read moreowner and head coach, is one of the kindest, most caring people I've ever met. She goes above and beyond to create a special experience for every single client, coach, and parent. Whether it's organizing thoughtful holiday events or creating personalized gifts, she truly makes everyone feel valued and appreciated. What really stands out to me is the variety and excellence of the programs offered. There is a Russian gymnastics program which is taught in Russian, and adds such a unique, community touch for those who are familiar with the language and culture. For those looking for fun and progress, the recreational program is super incredible. Jones brings creativity yet discipline to the classes and even holds showcase events which are always a hit, showing off the kids' growth and achievements. It's really clear the coaches deeply care about each gymnast's development, and they get results! I'm especially proud to mention that three of the gymnasts here qualified for TOPS -- an incredible achievement that speaks to the exceptional training they receive at Alpha with Colleen and coach Lan. If you're looking for a gym that is a nurturing environment Alpha is the place.

This preschool has been an absolute blessing for our family! As a first-time preschool family, our…read moreson had always been home with me, so we were a little nervous about how he'd adjust, especially since he's naturally shy and takes time warming up in new social settings. From our very first tour, Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Diane put us completely at ease. We actually visited twice before signing up for the fall, and both times they were so warm and reassuring. That really set the tone for everything that followed. The first week, the teachers were incredibly accommodating and communicative. They even sent me personal texts with updates on how he was doing, which meant the world to a nervous mom. We started with just 2 days a week, but he loved it so much that we transitioned to 3 days before we knew it. What truly speaks to how enriching their programs are is that the moment he gets in the car, he talks endlessly about his day, what he learned, and the friends he made. The activities keep him so engaged and excited that learning feels like pure fun to him. He's thrived so much that he asked on his own to do the full summer program before starting Kindergarten, and we didn't hesitate for a second. When we realized his K program doesn't have school one day a week, the school graciously agreed to let him continue coming through the fall so he can still see his friends and spend time in class with Ms. Lucie, who is so warm and wonderful with the kids. He is absolutely thrilled. The environment is nurturing, the communication is excellent, they are flexible with families schedules, and it's clear that everyone here truly cares about each child as an individual. I can't recommend this preschool enough to any family looking for a warm, safe, and enriching early learning experience. We only wish we had signed him up sooner!

Locally owned, deeply caring, and genuinely magical -- Vaulting Frogs is a rare gem in early…read moreeducation. We moved our daughter to Vaulting Frogs after a difficult experience at a nationally-run preschool, and the difference has been night and day. At her previous school, we faced inflexible scheduling, rigid policies around naptime (with no accommodation for children who struggled to sleep), and staff who didn't seem to understand or honor our daughter's emotional needs. Sadly, each school day, without fail, had begun to start with tears and anxiety. At Vaulting Frogs, all of that changed. From the very first week, our child began to look forward to going to school -- and came home happy, inspired, and calm. The warmth and flexibility of the Vaulting Frogs team has made all the difference. They truly see each child as an individual. If your child needs a nap, they'll have one. If they don't, that's okay too. There's no pressure -- just thoughtful guidance and supportive structure. The curriculum is vibrant and imaginative, full of engaging hands-on projects that feel joyful rather than overly scripted. They have a wonderful gym for movement and gymnastics-style play, a charming fenced outdoor area with playhouses and seasonal splash zone fun during the summer, and a cozy classroom that feels more like a welcoming learning home than an institution. What really stands out most is the heart of the owners, Jennifer and Diane, and their teachers. The staff at Vaulting Frogs is present, communicative, warm, and truly invested in each family's and child's experience. You can feel that this is a locally owned preschool with a heart and soul, not a franchise focused on policy and profits. Vaulting Frogs created a space where our child felt safe, confident, and genuinely excited to learn each day. Their thoughtful approach -- including financial and scheduling flexibility -- supported our family in balancing the demands of work and life outside of school, and we are so, so grateful. Highly, highly recommended.

Tried to circumvent the IEP process by trying to reach out to the care team to gain a recommendation that supported their goal of kicking my kid out. When that failed the principal lied about what the care team recommended. Bullied, harassed, and finally attempted to blackmail my family into voluntarily pulling my kid out in the last few months of the school year. This behavior started escalating the day of our IEP assessment and ended in a forced reduction of service before any accommodation request was made. This was after a glowing assessment of my daughter's growth. When I made a complaint about discrimination against the Preschool Director they declined to investigate without so much as a call to discuss my concerns.
