We tried Aqua Tots on the recommendation of a friend and had our first lesson for our two-year old…read morelast weekend. I remember when this location in Red Mill was a Buffalo Wild Wings and I am impressed with how they have converted it into a clean, spacious and open swim-school. You check in immediately to the right at one of two desks as soon as you walk in. There are seats all around a glass-encased large swimming pool that is full of instructors and small classes of various levels (1-8 I believe). Our daughter is 2-years old and was in level 2 where a parent is in the pool with them helping them through the motions which are mostly related to getting them comfortable with getting submerged and not inhaling water into their mouths/noses. My little gal did well but was fussy (first time) for the 30-minute class. The instructor was young but competent and gave feedback at the end. There is a open shower area to rinse off at the back of the pool and a large locker room area to change (with changing tables in all for young babies who have to wear two swim diapers). There are men's and women's bathrooms and private showers if you want to bring things and take a full shower after. They have free coffee/tea while you sit and watch. I like that the pool is glass enclosed so one parent can get in the pool and another can watch from the chairs all around. They also sell some items you may need like googles, etc. We forgot a towel (so much stuff to bring) and my husband had to run to Walmart to get one (which is in the same strip mall) - they said usually they do have some for sale. Prices are pretty fair - with lessons being about $40 each and it gets a bit lower if you are doing multiple a week (you do it monthly). You can sign up on their online portal once you have an account and it's easy to use but I have had some issue with classes saying they're full when they aren't.... Plenty of parking and in an easy shopping area with loads nearby if you need to get errands done. All in all - hoping to get my gal comfortable with swimming here. The two littles in her class with her were doing wonderful and their parents said it was all due to those classes, so I'm very excited!

We absolutely love king tiger martial arts! My 6-year-old has been attending for a few months now,…read moreand the growth we've seen has been incredible. Not only are they learning strong karate skills, but their confidence, focus, and discipline have improved so much. One of the biggest differences we've noticed is in school. The lessons they've learned in class about respect, listening carefully, and staying focused have really carried over into the classroom. Their teacher has even commented on how much they're excelling and how much more confident and attentive they've become. It's amazing to see how the skills from karate translate into everyday life. Master C is patient, encouraging, and truly wonderful positive role model to these young kids!!! All the instructors keep the classes fun and engaging while still teaching structure and responsibility. My child looks forward to every class and is always excited to show and tell master c the good work he's done outside of the studio! The studio is clean, safe, welcoming, and has such a positive, supportive atmosphere. It really feels like a community. We couldn't be happier with our experience thus far and highly recommend this studio to any parents looking to give their child a strong foundation both on and off the mat!

At its core, ASYMCA Hampton Roads focuses on fostering connection, resilience, and opportunity for military members and their loved ones by providing supportive services that enhance well-being in spirit, mind, and body. Programs span child development, education, and family support with offerings like Operation Little Learners -- an interactive early education and development initiative for toddlers and preschool-aged children -- plus before & after-school care, engaging summer camps, and fun family events throughout the year. These programs are designed to build confidence and community while alleviating stresses often associated with military life, such as frequent moves or deployment cycles. Beyond youth enrichment, ASYMCA Hampton Roads runs annual community building events, emergency services like Patriot's Pantry (providing food and basic supplies at no cost to active duty families), and specialized assistance like Operation Ride Home, which helps military families with holiday travel expenses. With a focus on meeting real military-family needs and filling gaps in support networks, this organization partners with installation leadership and community groups to create accessible, impactful programs for all who serve.

We love the Montessori approach and feel that it helps children develop very comfortably at their own pace. All of the teachers, TA's, and administrative staff have been easy to communicate with and helped us with any concerns over the year. Being that it was her first year, I admit that I did have a lot of questions, but the staff was understanding and as the weeks went on, I felt more and more comfortable that she was safe and well taken care of and she became very comfortable with her teachers, as well as her peers. I saw how much she learned just after two months. The schedules work and have helped her thrive academically and socially. I can see her problem-solving skills have really developed, as well as her thinking. The monthly newsletters kept us informed throughout the year. The school programs are all fun to attend and see the children work together, and also see their individual personalities shine. I feel that the facility is very clean and that she's picked up some good habits over the year. She's also made some good friends with her peers and learned good manners. We love hearing about her day, her lessons, and activities when we pick her up. The pick-up and drop-off system works fairly quickly. We also love that they do STEM, art projects to bring home, gym, outdoor activities, and trips to the farm. It's a great facility and we do love the diverse staff, who are all friendly and helpful. We have enrolled her next year and can't wait to see how much more she learns and grows over the next few years with MAV.

I could not recommend Kid Strong more to parents with young kids. We have been coming since they…read moreopened, and there is so much to love! Program: Kid Strong has a curriculum that focuses on various "milestones" weekly. I love how they also not only incorporate physical milestones like jumping, climbing, etc. but also social-emotional milestones such as public speaking, introductions, ordering food at restaurants, etc. As a teacher, I commend the coaches for not only being able to corral the kids but also engaging them in play-based learning. Coaches: Every single coach that has come onto the gym floor has been kind and encouraging to our five year old. When we started, my daughter was very reluctant to get in floor. Be warned, it is very loud at times. There are two open gyms, there is music playing, the sounds of children playing, coaches and parents encouraging .. it's a lot of sensory overload. But week in and week out, the coaches have encouraged my daughter little by little to join in the fun. Now, she is more confident, more willing to try new things and has even become "class captain" on several occasions. Special shout out to coach Lupita! She's been my daughter's coach from the start and the kids all love her!! Awards: KidStrong encourages "leveling up" as you progress through the classes. After each class, coaches recognize students who have accomplished certain milestones in an award ceremony. I love this bc it allows students to feel confidence for themselves but also their peers. It encourages team building and community.

I can't say enough good things about this school. We originally chose the school because I was…read moreinterested in a Montessori-style educational experience for my children to get them excited about learning. I was also blown away by our initial tour. The classrooms were so orderly and peaceful, and the children were so happily engaged in their work. We've been with the school for the past four years now, and I've never regretted it once. My son is in Children's House and my daughter is in Lower Elementary. The teachers are all excellent and have allowed my children to make outstanding academic progress, and the overall atmosphere is warm, caring and family-like. I love how much the children learn without a lot of the negative pressure or homework that other schools seem to have. The atmosphere is also very sweet and my children have never had any kind of issues with other kids there. Overall, we're tremendously happy with the school. It feels like a bit of a hidden gem. My only criticism is that I wish they continued into later years!

My husband and son have been doing Jiu Jitsu on and off for 5 years. We met coach Ted at a previous…read moregym where he trained our son from foundational Jiu Jitsu to advance and competition level Jiu Jitsu. When Coach Ted opened his new gym we wanted to check it out and see the good work him and his wife were putting into their new venture. This Jiu Jitsu gym is unlike the others locally, it is not all about revenue, profits or competition. They are very family oriented and the most affordable around town. Not only is it affordable but they offering great quality training. They offer kids classes, adult classes, women defense classes, open mat training and private lessons. They accept all levels of Jiu Jitsu. Also first week is free. They don't do contracts, it is month to month so you are not stuck with a membership if you decide Jiu Jitsu is not for you. Coach Ted's daughter, Christina is very famous in the Jiu Jitsu community. She competed for years and won gold in many world wide competitions. You will also get to see Christina on the mat training as well. The gym is very clean, and a pretty good size for training. They offer free open mat time for kids and adults on Wednesdays which is where you will get to see people from all gyms come and hang out and roll. Another thing I love is coach Ted is all about the love of the sport and not pushing people to compete or to pay more for every little thing the gym offers. If you are looking for a new gym or just to get into Jiu Jitsu for yourself or for your kids, check out Chaos.
