And the fact that it's less than ten minutes from home makes it even better. This is truly a perfect spot for young children--everything is set up to spark curiosity while still being age-appropriate and safe. After our very first visit, my daughter completely fell in love and absolutely was not ready to leave. That alone told me everything I needed to know. We decided to become members shortly after, and honestly, it was a great choice. The value, the experience, and the joy it brings her make it 100% worth it. Highly recommend for parents looking for something fun and educational. We'll definitely be back--again and again.

My husband and I are both in STEM careers - so any chance we get, we're trying to introduce our daughters to STEM activities and this place did not disappoint. The staff were very kind and welcoming. They had the girls put on their lab coats and safety glasses, explained the science lab rules and helped clean up our messes as we moved through the stations. We got to do so many activities and experiments and you also got to take your slime/product home after. I will say the time goes very fast so you do have to be quick if you want to try out more of the experiments. This place can also host birthday parties & field trips which I thought was so neat!

We have signed up for Christmas camp and after the new year plan to enroll in the regular season. Can't recommend this place enough for your kids.

First question asked to me when I checked into this place was, "Did you purchase the yelp deal?" I…read morewas not there for their normal services, which includes kid tutoring and afterschool programs. I was there because my wife wanted something fun and different for my daughter to do on her 8th birthday. You cannot use the yelp deal on a birthday party package, so my answer is a resounding, "I would have, if I could have!" I must start off by stating that the staff is really nice and they genuinely seem to enjoy children. My daughter was having a fairy party, and her and her female friends enjoyed themselves being girly. I must point out that they started off shooting hoops, so no true gender bias here! There were multiple rooms with multiple themes, which included a music room with guitars and keyboards. You know anytime children have a chance to make noise in a place that you bring them to have fun, they will not spare those decibels! The children were treated to dressing as a fairy, designing and building a home that would be in an enchanted forest, if such a thing existed. That included glitter and moss to make sure the house was pretty! The girls also dipped their hands in salts to soften their skin so when they put on makeup and polish their fingers, they were feeling pretty and pampered. All in all, it was a great time had by the girls, and the facilities are decent. The staff ensured each female left happy, so I could not ask for more from them. Professional, friendly staff mixed with multiple activities for your child leads to good memories. Consider them the next time you have a birthday party to throw. Also look in them for the multiple scholastic enhancement programs designed to get your kid growing in multiple areas of life.

I scheduled a tour that was confirmed by someone, I presume at their corporate location. I then called the location with a question- only to be told all tours were cancelled. Was also told one of the management teams would call me. Maybe 30 minutes later I received another confirmation text. I phoned the person (not in their central location) to tell them that location was not accepting any more parents. Received information (i.e., tuition, communication apps) and was told I would be taken off the list to be text? No one has reached out to me. If this school is this uncommunicative and disorganized in the face of emergency. I completely understand protecting the littles but don't like the way I was handled. I'm already emotional enough about leaving my babe. I'm almost 100% positive I can't trust them with my baby.

First, I want to applaud the teachers and staff in the infant and toddler building. Ever since my…read moreson who was about 7 months old, started in mid-2017, he was loved and cared for by the most kind and genuine teachers and administration team... A beautiful bond was formed.. Fast forward to 2021.. My son is now 4 and due to the pandemic, we opted to keep him home with us for most of 2020. We finally decided it was time for our little boy to return to what we remembered was our safe place, our son's home away from home.. We knew it was going to be challenging for him to adjust to the all the new faces and to building a new relationship with his new teacher and head director in the preschool building.. At first, we felt very good about them working with him to get back in to the routine but after about a week, we were advised that our son had started using bad language after an "explosion" of bad language had occurred in the classroom of 4-5 year olds (my son being the youngest).. We had thought things were improving until we got another call that our child was using VERY BAD language.. And to our surprise, his teacher had actually taken the time to record him on two different days using said language - words and phases that are not used in our home and that had clearly been picked up in their class as confirmed by the director. My question is, why was she continually recording him and not redirecting him? it was almost as if she was creating a show or needed to prove how "bad" my son was.. So that's only one issue we had.. For weeks, our son would tell us about another child that continually would kick and punch him daily. One day, he actually came home with a HUGE knot on his forehead. No phone call, no report. I let it go.. When we would address our concerns about the other child hitting and kicking our son, we were told the little boy was "special" and didn't like to play with other children and so when our son would try to engage him in playtime, the other child would lash out. We then realized our son needed to be taught about boundaries and had constant pep talks with him before leaving him at school.. Then one day, I decided to check in on my child through Watch Me Grow - a video platform that allows you to view your child's classroom - THANK GOODNESS. Because if I had not witnessed what happened, my son might have continued to get bullied and treated unfairly without regard.. While his teacher was having circle time, my son was nowhere to be found.. Ahh but then I noticed the single stall bathroom door was open with anther child standing in front of it and threw a large object inside the restroom.. Out comes the child that had been harrassing my child, skipping happily out and my son following behind, holding his head.. What I witnessed next was his teacher pulling my son aside, ignoring the other child who threw the object.. and when i called and spoke with the director, she had withdrawn my child from the classroom so I could let my son know what i was watching him and knew he was not participating in class.. My concern wasn't why he wasn't participating in circle time but why were there multiple children in the restroom and why did the other child get away with throwing a large object at my son..? Out of control. Obviously, the teacher needed help as she couldn't get a handle on her classroom. My son was hurt and neglected all the while, the director of the preschool building was trying to tell me he was fine. So when I showed up within 30 minutes, my son was not outside with the other children, but kept inside for whatever reason... I could tell he had been crying.. AND he had a hematoma on his forehead. No incident report. Needless to say, we have permanently withdrawn our child from The Children's Courtyard on Longenbaugh. We are hurt and disappointed in how son was treated.. but we will persevere by continuing to love and help our son grow in a more positive environment.

You can also come on your own to do the experiments, which is great. The kids get dressed in white lab coats and goggles and get to experiment with all kinds of hands-on activities. Each group has a staff member who walks them through the experiments step by step, which makes it engaging and easy to follow. A few of the experiments even get to go home with the kids! This is truly a win-win spot where kids get to have fun and feel like real little scientists. I want to say I've even seen deals on Groupon before, which makes it an even better value. Highly recommend!!
