Also the class schedules seem to be geared toward stay at home moms and senior citizens. For example, they always have classes at 5:15 AM but few past 7PM. Also, sometimes they will close half the pool for people to practice kayaking or to put up a weird floaty bouncy castle.

Not a fan of this gymnastics gym. They do not seem to care about advancing gymnasts. My daughter…read moremissed the older group cutoff by one month and they were forcing her to stay in the "toddler" group when she is nearly 6 years old and has 3 years experience with multiple gyms. Their drills for "toddlers" are ridiculous, throwing a bean bag, walking across a mat, it's very childish and for babies. They have very young girls teaching the classes and they seem to just be focused on making a profit. When I inquired about moving my daughter up bc she was bored, they refused to even offer to test her and then ignored my email completely and rejected her entrance to the older team, when she can do multiple tricks and is close to completing a back hand-spring. She wasn't even allowed to do cart wheels in the "toddler" group. Everything is solely based on birthdate and not skill. We switched to Synergy and they immediately tested her and advanced her to the higher group. Synergy is much more professional and they are focused on training girls to become gymnasts and not making a profit.

This is a review of summer camp. I sent my child to one of their specialty camps last summer and…read moreshe and the other campers were treated poorly. They were denied snack time and had their slime that they made taken away and given to other kids. The reason for this was a pocket-sized light was found in the pool after their group got out. The camp instructor tried to get the kids to "confess" as to who took the thing and basically punished them when no one spoke up. As if the kids would know who did it. When the camp director finally got back to me when I emailed her, she admitted that one of the kids could have accidentally put in their pocket and that the "punishment" wasn't appropriate. I wouldn't send my child to this camp again.

Fuel House was just the opposite. When I walked in, the owner immediately greeted me with a big smile and put me at ease. One of the women in class came over and introduced herself, and the instructor made a point to say hello as well. Everyone was at different levels, and mistakes were not frowned upon. It was a relaxing atmosphere where you could exercise without judgment. Also, the facility was very clean and didn't have that usual gym smell. The class rates are reasonable, so you can pay per class or join as a member. I will definitely be back, if only to be around such a welcoming crowd of women. Thank you for this positive experience.

***DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE**** I don't post things like…read morethis lightly, but I feel a responsibility to share our experience in case it helps another child or family. Chesterbrook Academy - Newtown Square has been the worst childcare experience of my 13 years as a mom. In our experience, the environment was cold, harsh, and deeply unsettling. When children are sad or crying, they are placed in a so-called "cuddle corner" and intentionally ignored--no one is allowed to speak to or comfort them until they stop crying. Teachers follow a strict "no response" approach, meaning kids who are screaming, throwing, or clearly distressed are simply ignored. The level of rudeness, judgment, and lack of warmth from staff has honestly left me bewildered. My child came home crying many days, saying the teachers yelled at them--and I personally witnessed teachers yelling at children right in front of me. Leaving your child in someone else's care is already incredibly hard. You expect compassion, patience, and basic emotional safety. That was not our experience here. I can't speak to other Chesterbrook locations, but Chesterbrook Academy in Newtown Square is one I would strongly urge parents to avoid. If sharing this helps even one child have a safer, more loving experience elsewhere, it's worth it

This review relates to their care of my 2 year old child who was not potty trained when he attended…read morea camp day. My five year old said he had a good time and so, while I didn't love the place, thought it was perfectly fine for his age group. This is not an appropriate place for a young child who is not yet potty trained. Drop off was confusing and very informal which I think would be fine for a one hour class or for someone who had been here before but, as it was our first time and we signed up for a full day camp, we had no idea where to leave our children's belongings, no way to tell them information about our children, no paperwork to fill out, no emergency contact info, nothing. Just dropped their bags and brought our kids in a big room with one college kid and one adult (who left before we did and apparently didn't return for the remainder of the day). Im usually pretty laid back, and this place had good reviews, so I just went with the flow. I assumed they had their act together and that the adult was returning and that was my mistake. I signed my boys up for football camp. I don't think they played football but they had fun so that was fine. My issue came at pick-up when one of the employees was taking my 2-year old to the potty (where there was no diaper changing table). I could smell my child's diaper from far away and it was clear he was asking to be changed. I took over and, when I finally found a room with a changing table all the way upstairs which looked like it had never been used (no wipes or anything nearby) and changed my sons diaper it was clear he hadn't been changed all day. He was bright red and had terrible diaper rash. When I mentioned the issue to the woman at the front desk she gave me an attitude. She said it was my responsibility to inform her at drop off (how exactly?) that my child was not potty trained. They took no responsibility for their failure to either remind a 2 year old to go potty all day, to acknowledge the very obvious smell, or to open his backpack (with the lunch he ate) in which I sent lots of diapers. No apologies no nothing. This occurred over Thanksgiving 2018 and, while things have changed since then, I will never be back. All these things aside, this place is more expensive than hiring a highly qualified babysitter all day at $20 an hour. Next time I will go with the babysitter who will remember to check a 2year olds diaper.
