Disappointed in this school to say the least. I was inquiring for my children to take classes in…read moremartial arts and was met with apathy. I was told that they do not teach martial arts, they only provide child care. Inside the facility looked dark and unkempt. There did not appear to be any order to the care. Children were not engaged in organized activities. I will not recommend this "school" to anyone.

I've had 3 of my kids go here for daycare totaling about 9 years of service. I don't care where I…read moremove, if I can, my kids will always go here. The quality is unparalleled. Sure, I may be able to get a little cheaper if I have my kids go to a home daycare, but the care that they get here is why I love it. They have cameras in the class so I can always check in on my little ones whenever I want and they give multiple updates a day via the daycare's app so I never feel like I'm missing much. The teachers treat my kids like their own and I truly feel like they love them. If I voice any discomfort or worry, they work with me immediately. You can tell the Director truly has a passion for this job and the kids, and she schedules fun times each season and most holidays to really make you feel like this is more than just a daycare. If you're thinking about bringing your kid/baby here, stop thinking and just do it. I truly love them.

My son was in this school from Oct 2020 to Aug 2021. I post review lately because many friends…read moreasked me to do it after they heard he suffered physical abuse. I watched the live stream in his classroom (toddler) ~2hrs a day and had seen 2 times a teacher caught my son's arms and forced him to sit still no matter how hard he was fighting. After got home on these 2 days, the scratches on his arms were obvious... He was only 1.5 years old and not able to tell us what's happened. We had reported to school the next day and the teacher didn't tell the truth until we told we were watching. We had reported to their district manager and child service in government. But the teacher who hurt him was still working there before we changed school. Actually not only my son, his little friends had suffered similar experiences that I saw. That teacher disciplined kids almost everyday! I doubt her profession, because kids were reading books alone just before discipline. My son was very quite at this school and he became verbal 1 month after he got into a new place. We're so grateful to our decision!

Teachers and families are thoroughly involved in running the school and are responsive to families' needs.

My two daughters (age 10 and 7) have been attending for almost two years. One daughter started in…read morethe Little Tigers program, which sets standards for focus and attention for young children. They play collaborative games, learn easy rote memorization skills, and practice focus/intention. In the beginner belt program, they learn different forms and practice them weekly. The instructors keep the children engaged and on-task and show them how to improve their techniques. Older children often support the beginner belts, which is a leadership quality that IMA values. My children have learned so much about tae kwon do, but more importantly, how to be better citizens of the world. They help out more at home, have a "black belt attitude" about challenges, and look forward to class each week. The cost is reasonable and the instructors are strict but kind. I am looking forward to enrolling my two youngest children soon to continue the tradition at IMA!

I couldn't even get past the initial interaction with 'customer service.' I was asked for my name,…read moreprovided it and was told 'that's not the name I have.' Whoa, scary. Come to find out, The Young School keeps your info on file indefinitely even if you never tour or enroll your child. I inquired years ago when my middle child who is now 9 was one. They had no openings then. This means that they have had my info lying dormant for 8 years which I signed nothing agreeing to. I've gotten married, changed my name and had another baby since. None of this would have been an issue if the rep didn't respond in a suspicious tone when I provided my name. Instead of saying, "hey, I see you may have inquired about our center in the past, have you had a name change or gotten married?' It was more of a tone that conveyed suspicion. Just a weird interaction altogether. When I brought it to the attention of the rep she began to raise her voice and ask for even MORE personally identifying information. Lady I just want to know if you have any openings to start! May be a nice center maybe not, I would never know thanks to this initial interaction.

THIS IS NOT A REVIEW ABOUT THEIR CHILDCARE. I know that they're rated well for the childcare they…read moreprovide. However, trying to get information and a tour has been unreasonably difficult. They canceled a virtual tour of their facility twice. Also, Jessica Trail - the head of the school - takes too long to respond to emails. I figure they're not going to miss our business since they seem to have a long waitlist (this is just conjecture since I can't really get any solid information). Be that as it may, I still think it's reasonable as a prospective patron to expect follow-through and timely responsiveness (meaning no more than two business days). In the interest of fairness, I must add that Jamie Sultz (admissions?) has been quite lovely to speak with.

My son has been coming to Okinawan Karate Dojo for almost a full year. Sensei Stan and the rest of…read morehis team do a really wonderful job teaching the kids! This school is very family oriented and maintains an educational yet fun environment. The pricing here is very fair for the classes as well as their branded merchandise. The class schedule is also very easy to follow. The daily class schedule for each level of students is different for every day of the week. However, this schedule is the same every week. Once you input the dates into your calendar you can put them on repeat and you'll never miss a beat. The belt testing here is also done well in my opinion. The testing dates are announced well in advance and I've also seen them posted throughout the Dojo. As long as the students attend, participate and learn the different blocks, punches, etc then they should pass their tests each time. My son has moved up to the next belt each time he has a belt test. The new location is really cool too! They now have two floors which allows them to accommodate more classes as well. I really am glad that my son attends Okinawan Karate Dojo! I'm lookong forward to him earning his black belt here one day.

Although the kids were not able to get to the pool this year, the camp was able to make up for the temporary change. The price was reasonable and manageable.

Overall, the Okinawa Dojo summer camp program met and exceeded expectations by providing my little family member with a fun, healthy and safe environment.

The studio's atmosphere is welcoming, they have props (blocks, straps, boosters, etc) and the instructors create an encouraging space. I've never been that into Yoga but based on my recent experience and the sense of 'well-being' surrounding this space I think that's changing. It also helps that Sydney's instruction, cues and guidance make it accessible yet also encouraging to progress.

Not only did I feel welcome, but I also felt like I belonged. I look forward to many more classes in this beautiful space.
