The teachers were amazing and both challenged and nurtured my son while teaching him dancing, singing and acting as well running a full scale musical production. The play itself was very impressive and they definitely knew how to maximize the talent and potential of all of the kids.

They do a terrific job communicating with me and my husband throughout the day with updates on her activities and photos through the app. The teachers are great at giving us suggestions on things we can do at home to help our daughter's development. My daughter is super happy and smiley there. The teachers are so patient and truly care about her and it shows. I was at another day care prior which was awful. The Learning Experience Bushwick has been above and beyond our expectations! Also, the school is gorgeous with large, colorful, clean classrooms.

Classes in Singing, Theater, Guitar, Musical Theater and Film and Movie-Making. Small classes with individualized attention in a cozy, professional and nurturing environment. " I am a parent of three children who have studied musical theater through Brooklyn Players, in both the summer and school year (after school) programs. Brooklyn Players is fantastic, and my kids have gained tremendously from attending. I am impressed with the way they have developed my children's skills to such a high level in a program which is truly fun and nurturing, and where teamwork aspects of theater are strongly emphasized. I have never before seen a performing program (for music or theater) where there is such a relaxed feeling but such amazingly professional results. I have one child who just started college but attended Brooklyn Summer Players every year from age 9 to 13, and I have one much younger child who recently completed his first year in the 4 week summer program. I find the staff very talented, and it has been fun to watch the kids grow and develop in the program. When my now college-age son applied to high school, he was admitted to some very selective programs (like the very small, highly esteemed theater program at Edward Murrow high school). It has been fun and impressive to see the Brooklyn Players graduates continue their successful efforts to perform in school and outside of school as well. Many students from Brooklyn Players end up with leading roles in high school productions, whether or not they choose to attend selective arts programs for high school. I am glad my sons learned so much from Brooklyn Players, but I think it is equally valuable that the program was really fun for them too. I am delighted my youngest is still in Brooklyn Players and continuing to enjoy and learn from it as his older brothers did. I highly recommend the summer program as well as the school year classes. We are fortunate to have such a great program in Park Slope.

Her summer experience…read moretwo years ago ignited a love for musical theatre that she has been pursuing ever since through voice and acting classes with Brooklyn Players. The after-school classes are the perfect size; each student gets a lot of individual attention. The caliber of students is very high, yet there is an atmosphere of mutual support instead of competitiveness. When my daughter began voice classes with Corinne, she was not so confident in her abilities. I am almost more pleased with her increased confidence than I am with her technical skill, but she has Brooklyn Players to thank for both at this point. Sadly, we are leaving the area, so she can't do the summer show this year, but she has been accepted into a very selective summer theatre program in the area we are moving to. We have been so fortunate to have this amazing resource right here in the neighborhood; Brooklyn Players is a great choice for any kid with an interest in performing.

I kept getting targeted ads for Mosaic Art Studio on Instagram, so I finally went while treating my…read morefriend on her birthday. We booked a Wednesday session for a portable lamp, which was $139 per person. The space is lovely with all the lamps and other projects laid out. The studio sells DIY kits online for $89 for a comparable project. So the question you should ask yourself is is it worth $50 to choose your own beads and have a small cup of tea with one bite-sized treat (which has nuts). They use these exact same kits in the studio. The kits come with video tutorials, which cover the same things the people at the studio covered. It's not like they supported us beyond explaining the steps. Also, the part that has the biggest impact on the look of your project is something you have to do at home. For $139, I would honestly prefer that the studio do it for me and I pick it up at a later date. As you can see from my pictures, my lamp does look very nice lit up. However, when it is not lit, it looks ugly. Also, I ran low on the grout mixture at home, and there was no way for me to get more of it. Overall, yes, this was a unique and fun experience. I would personally recommend doing a candle holder if you could make use of it, just because it's a smaller project. However, for $139, there needs to be better support to make it seem more like a class or professional support on the grouting so the final product turns out looking better. If you are a crafty person who is willing to splurge, then you should go for it!

Somehow her obsession with all things anime and Hatsune Miku did not wear on the instructors, who seemed attentive, helpful, and accommodating. The children are taught how to use TinkerCad, Gimp, and 3D print. You can also learn Ableton and other programs. This is really a place for future engineers, programmers, and designers. Two snacks a day are available to tack-on automatically to your account (I believe we paid $45 per visit) at $2 so $47 is your end visit fee. Kids stay from 3:30 - 6:30. This was great for my home school kid who was not getting much socialization in. She did make a couple of friends. I wasn't really as involved a parent as I could have been, but I did notice that parents who wanted to hear about their child's daily progress were filled in. Desk people and instructors were very open and communicative (even though busy). Shout out to Andy, with whom my daughter seemed to have a lot of laughs with, or so she said. If you've got a $200 per month budget and a burning desire to instill a love of technology in your kid or just want to avoid the fear of a broken arm resulting from karate or football, this might be the place for your miniature human. edit: I believe it might be just 3:30 - 6:00.
