Okay I really wanted to stay firm on 1-2 stars, but the staff/coaches and facility are exceptional…read more The coaches give great feedback during the sessions. Staff follow up from assessment with suggestions and helpful class suggestions. The coaches in EVERY session are ridiculously fantastic. The facility is magical, but the magic is nothing without the coaches. So thank you coaches. You all are amazing! The "good" classes were hard to get, but sometimes we get lucky with last minute cancellations. If your child loves soccer, you'll end up living there... it's an amazing space. Brilliant COPA, absolutely brilliant.

He improved his juggling to 15 touches and he's so happy about that. I highly recommend the camp.

My daughter, now 8, has attended Encore's summer camps in previous years when she was 6 and 7. She…read moreis autistic--funny, sweet, and energetic--but she can sometimes struggle with following directions. When she first attended at 6, we had a great experience, and even spoke with someone who said they specialized in supporting children with special needs. That gave us a lot of confidence in returning the following summer. When she was 7, we enrolled her for several weeks in the afternoons after her summer school program. We were assured that she was welcome and that there would be no issues. The first week went smoothly. During the second week, however, we were told she wasn't staying with the group the entire time and that it was a safety concern. Instead of working with us on strategies or accommodations, we were abruptly told it would be best if she not return for the rest of the summer. This left us without childcare for weeks during a time when both my spouse and I work full‑time. Despite that experience, we still hoped things could be different this year. Our daughter has grown a lot, and with ADHD medication, many of the behaviors they struggled with have improved significantly. We planned to sign her--and our son--up for just one week. But when I tried to register, I discovered there was a hold on our account. After calling and being told someone would get back to me, I was later informed that they were "too worried" about my daughter being a problem again. No one asked whether anything had changed since last year. Instead, I was told we could send her only if we provided an aide or a family member to supervise her the entire time. If we had a family member available to supervise, we wouldn't need a camp. And paying for an aide on top of an already expensive camp simply isn't feasible for most families. My advice to other parents: if your child is autistic, on the spectrum, or simply not a perfectly rule‑following child, think carefully before signing up. In our experience, Encore did not offer support, collaboration, or solutions--only exclusion. It's painful to see an 8‑year‑old who means no harm turned away instead of being met with understanding and partnership. Families deserve better, and so do our kids. I am giving this two stars because I imagine if you have neurotypical children the camp is fine.

Had the best time having our 4 year old birthday party here! They make it unbelievably easy for…read moreparents. All you have to do is order some pizza, drinks and cake. Everything else is taken care of. Decorations not necessary given the space. They even have tablecloths and serve the pizza for you. Staffing was excellent- great employee to kid ratios. I would say it's best for ages 4 and up, not younger toddlers. The only downsides are you do have to book at midnight the time it opens 2 months ahead if you want a guaranteed spot (even then may not get it!). Fairly pricey, and if over base amount of kids included gets even pricier. It was definitely worth it given everything they do.

I brought my daughter in this week and we will not be returning. The "trial" is also not free as you would expect a trial to typically be (I did? As some of the other reviews say this place is run by mostly younger folks. I did see several teens working. Once you complete the 45 min trial class someone will give you a quick test to see what skills you posses and then let you know what skill level class you should take. There was something about this place that didn't feel right to me. It feels like a money grab. Now after having gone once I am hearing this from a lot of people who have had the same experience. We will be staying at our gym now in Walnut Creek.

Everything in the facility is thought-out from sensory bins to motion swings to self regulating squishy balls everything serves a purpose! I would 100% recommend Ana's business.

My son, who is very picky, loved his experience with Coach Marvin.

As a competitive soccer player myself, I was impressed with the level of instruction. Coach Marvin is a gem!

I understand that changes happen, but it would mean a lot to families like ours to be informed ahead of time and have a smoother transition. As a special needs family, it's not always easy to find places that can truly accommodate. There are moments I feel defeated and wonder how we'll make things work. That said, I truly appreciate the director for listening, apologizing, and working with us. With the added support, my child is now back to learning how to swim which is so important for her. Thank you for supporting our family.
