We started here in January and my girls have tried all the instructors at the Monrovia location,…read moreand I can say in confidence that the male instructors here on Thursdays are so amazing. You can pay extra to stick with one, but my girls love them all! The pool is indoors, warm, and the instructors are super patient. They know how to push the kids to improve, yet still be kind at the same time. We took a few classes at Waterworks before and they couldn't swim independently whatsoever. However, after just 3 classes here, my girls are swimming with such confidence! Biggest, biggest downside (for the 1 star down) is the admin side. The main girl in the front is so disorganized. We were told we could use one account for both kids (not true), and scheduling gets mixed up. Had to go back and forth to get even one make-up class because we were not informed to download their app. I had the biggest headache communicating with her by phone and text. Nevertheless, still highly recommend for beginners... just make sure to download their app and stay on top of your account!

FIND A DIFFERENT SCHOOL…read more Honestly, I'm very disappointed with how Blake Swim School treats its families. Two weeks ago, we showed up for my child's swim lesson only to find out that our instructor, Sebastian, was on vacation. No one notified us ahead of time. We drove all the way from San Gabriel to Monrovia only to discover there was no lesson. That was a complete waste of our time and could have easily been avoided with a simple email, text, or phone call. What frustrated me even more was being told we were just supposed to wait until Sebastian returned from vacation. That shouldn't be the school's decision to make. Families should be given the option to reschedule with another instructor if their regular coach is unavailable. To make matters worse, when I requested to cancel my child's class, I was told they couldn't process such a simple request. The lack of communication and poor customer service is extremely disappointing. I understand that instructors take vacations, but keeping families informed and providing reasonable options is basic customer service. Unfortunately, that was not our experience.

So far we are happy with this school. It is very warm and clean. coach Zara is very nice and my…read moredaughter like her. I hope she can improve fast.

I recently started adult lessons with Bella as a refresher to feel more comfortable in the water,…read moreespecially with my kids spending more time swimming this summer. While I knew the basics, Bella taught me essential breathing and safety skills that boosted my confidence. By the end of my second lesson, I was able to swim across the pool, a personal milestone I wouldn't have reached before due to fear. The pool is in a residential home backyard and is covered/heated so it's weather appropriate all year round. Although the pool is smaller than your average gym pool, there's usually only 1-2 lessons at at time so you don't have to dodge other people like you would at most swim schools. Be sure to text the number on the site after you book online and arrange payment before you show up to your lesson.

We couldn't imagine a better place for our children to grow, learn, and be loved than at Peas In a…read morePod daycare. Our oldest child flourished here--gaining confidence, independence, and so many foundational life skills thanks to the nurturing and thoughtful Montessori-inspired approach. So when it came time for our second child to start care, we didn't hesitate for a moment. We knew they'd be in the best hands possible. What sets this daycare apart is the intentionality in everything Angelica and her team does. The environment is calm, clean, beautifully organized, and perfectly suited to foster independence and curiosity. Toys and materials are developmentally appropriate and Montessori-aligned, encouraging children to explore, make choices, and learn at their own pace. Another huge highlight is the emphasis on healthy eating. Every day, the children are served fresh, wholesome, and delicious meals and snacks. Our son has expanded his palate so much here--and we're always impressed with the variety and quality of the food. It means the world to us to know that not only is he learning and growing, but he is being nourished with real, nutritious meals as well. But what matters most is how much our son loves coming here. He feels safe, seen, and cared for in a way that's truly special. The love and respect Angelica and her team show each child is genuine, and it shines through in the way they thrive under her care. As parents, there's no greater comfort than knowing your children are happy, supported, and thriving--and that's exactly what we've found here. We wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to any family seeking a warm, Montessori-inspired, health-conscious, and loving environment. Sending both of our children here has been one of the best parenting decisions we've made.

Principal Blake is very professional and patient. He will adjust the teaching method according to the specific situation of the child. The atmosphere is also very relaxed and interesting. The child is very happy in every class, and the progress is also very obvious. The environment is very clean, and the staff's service attitude is also very good. It is worth recommending!!

We've been bringing our son, to Blake swim school for almost a year, and until now we had a good…read moreexperience. We were happy enough to refer several friends because we believed in the program. Unfortunately, our experience yesterday, Friday 7/31 completely changed my opinion. When we arrived for Blake's regular swim lesson yesterday, we were told that his time slot had been given to another child. No one called, emailed, or texted us to let us know. We showed up expecting his usual lesson only to find out that his spot was gone. When I asked why, I was told that my lesson package had expired. I had purchased a 20-lesson package, and I was never verbally informed that it expired after six months. The staff member simply said, "It's on the paperwork. You should have read it." I was never given that paper when I paired for that 20 lessons package. I'm not upset that the lessons expired, I understand businesses have policies. What upset me was that they took away my child's regular time slot without any notice or courtesy call. A simple phone call or email would have prevented us from wasting a trip and would have given us the opportunity to renew before losing our spot. The response I received made the situation even worse. I was told, "We're very busy. That's just how it works if you don't pay." After being a loyal customer for almost a year and referring multiple families, that level of customer service was incredibly disappointing. This experience made me feel like existing customers are no longer valued now that the school has grown. Policies are one thing, but treating customers with respect and communicating important changes should be a basic expectation. Sadly, because of how this situation was handled, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. I hope the school improves its communication and customer service so other families don't have the same experience. UPDATE: Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate that the two expired lessons were restored. However, my concerns go beyond the lessons themselves. The app logged me out, my password no longer worked, and there was no option to reset it on my own. In the past, the previous staff member was always patient, helpful, and willing to assist with password issues. Unfortunately, my recent experience was completely different. The current staff member was rude and unprofessional. She demanded my phone and repeatedly raised her voice, saying three times that she wanted to see my password. She appeared frustrated by my questions instead of trying to help resolve the issue. I also still have concerns about the lesson expiration policy. I purchased a 20-lesson package, yet all 20 lessons expired after only six months. If the policy is that 10 lessons expire after six months, it doesn't make sense that a 20-lesson package would have the same six-month expiration period. I would appreciate a clear explanation of how that policy works. My goal in leaving this review is not simply to complain, but to encourage better customer service, clearer communication, and improvements to the app so other families don't have the same experience.
