This place is like a magical wonderland for kids! They have the largest art room I've ever seen--seriously, it's big enough to host a small art heist! And guess what? Everything in there is free to use with the cost of admission! I felt like I hit the jackpot! Plus, there's a rock climbing wall, which is a nice touch. Nothing says "family fun" like watching your kids scale a wall while you sip your coffee and contemplate your life choices! The place is decked out with fun artwork and quirky characters that make it feel like a playground straight out of a storybook. And they even have a treehouse! I half-expected to find a squirrel in a top hat serving snacks up there! Located in a shopping plaza, this spot is perfect for hitting up before or after errands. Who knew you could combine grocery shopping with a mini adventure? I highly recommend taking your kiddos here for a day filled with fun and laughter. It's a win-win for parents and kids alike--because a tired child is a happy child!

We have been there for 3 years now, and they have made continuous improvements to the school. We love the team there, and their supportive attitude of the mix of neurodivergent students. They have a part-time counselor there who is an intern from NCSU. Tuition is high because class sizes are kept small to provide individualized attention. Friends of Trilogy is the support side of the school (this PTA) which assists in creating community and assists parents in their Trilogy journey including how to fud their student's education. I can't say enough good things about the school and want to give a shout out to Ann Ashby who is beyond amazing.

So much fun! We had them come out for my son's 8th birthday party. Isaac (or "Mr. Coffee") came out…read moreand brought everything for building robots. My son and his friends had a blast! There weren't a lot of kids so they were able to have many battles. They each got to work on a robot, adding pieces to a pre-made body for battles. Isaac explained very well what was going to happen and how to do everything. It was neat watching all the kids design their robots! By the end, the parents were even jumping in and working on them with the kids! Great birthday party, my son said it was his favorite! They are based out of Cary/Morrisville but will travel. I have a feeling him and his friends will be talking about this party for a while.

We're so fortunate to have such a place in our city. What an amazing find. The teachers are very engaging, and keep the students excited about learning. And they really seem to care about the students. They teach from the very young, novice students (my son is 7), to advanced programming (high school AP computer science), with students designing games and apps and showcasing their work at special events organized by the school. They offer group classes, individualized coaching (1 instructor for 2 students), as well as track out, summer camps and kids nights out. In addition to the fun, my son is actually learning a valuable skill that will serve him well in life. I wish something like this existed when I was a kids...but then, there WAS no Internet when I was a kid!

They were very friendly and genuinely engaged with the children during this event. Camila and the gentlemen on staff running the event did a phenomenal job keeping the children busy and engaged. We stopped in for the special FX & prosthetic makeup workshop. Camila really worked hard to keep everyone focused on the tasks at hand and did an excellent job teaching such a large group. The costume contest was a good time as well. There were so many children in creative costumes that took home little trophies and prizes. My daughter thanked me for taking her and is excited to see what else the center has to offer as a young artist. This is a excellent place to invest in your child's talents and gifts. It's also the perfect space to allow them to spend less time off their digital devices & social media. They offer anime graphic arts, music, studio production, acting and more. We look forward to enrolling in the art & music classes here. This is a unique resource and space for young rising creatives. So glad to have stumbled across this center.
