This program has been great to teach me how to be a better parent and to stimulate my child and to make sure he is progressing and well prepared for preschool. The teachers help parents with the do's and dont's of raising a child. They also offer free classes for kids yoga, music, gymnastics, and swimming. Each class lasting 1 classes per week for 4 weeks. My son really enjoyed this! At the end of the program (shortly after your child turns 3 years old), they give you an evaluation of your child's progress. They give you a transition meeting where the teachers meet with the parents and preschools to determine which school is best for your child and if your child should attend school full time or half day, in the early bird or late bird class. I high recommend this program especially if you're an at home mom who has the extra time with your children.

My daughter was enrolled at this ballet studio for nearly four years. We invested thousands of…read moredollars in tuition and performance tickets each year, and I volunteered hundreds of hours backstage--organizing the younger dancers, making last-minute costume repairs, and assisting with check-ins. I got along well with the backstage crew and never received a single complaint from any of them. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this studio due to the inconsistent and unprofessional leadership of owner Monique Foster and backstage manager Courtney. They show clear favoritism toward certain students while applying rules unevenly and aggressively toward others, creating an environment that was often unfair and hostile, especially for younger dancers. During our final production, my daughter was repeatedly singled out by Courtney with severe, aggressive reprimands over minor issues. I stayed close to my daughter to support and protect her backstage. Near the end, Courtney called me out in front of several other moms and gave an exaggerated account of an interaction she claimed she had with my daughter that day. I pointed out that both my daughter and Courtney's own daughter were behaving typically for their age--recounting the previous evening when I had had to ask her daughter multiple times to stop clapping and blocking the walkway. Monique intervened, became confrontational, and threatened to have me removed from "her" theater for "talking back." She then claimed she had received multiple complaints about me "doing things wrong," but when I asked for specific examples, she could provide none. She also didn't appear to know my name, which further undermined her accusations. The small amount of positive support we experienced in our first year at this studio faded over time. Interactions with Monique became increasingly harsh and unpredictable. My daughter, who once loved ballet, began dreading classes and frequently came home in tears. We've heard similar experiences from many other current and former families. While there are talented dancers and some wonderful people associated with the studio, the lack of consistent, fair, and age-appropriate guidance from the leadership makes this a poor choice for families seeking a supportive and safe environment for their children. We left after almost four years and are now much happier at a different studio.
