We had our sons 6th birthday with Sports Zone 101 this past weekend and it was amazing. The staff…read morewas great with the kids and kept them engaged the entire time. They even helped the younger siblings keep up witht the activites so they weren't left out. They offered to help bring in anything we had for the party from the car, helped me serve food, beverages, and cake and helped me clean up at the end. They went above and beyond my expectations for the party. The only thing I think could be improved on is the timing between parties. The parties run back to back so there is no buffer between the party before you to get their stuff cleaned up so you can get your stuff set up. Other than that I would definitely have another party with them and recommend them to anyone looking to host a party for their kids!

I had to chat on their website asking to call me immediately, and then i received a phone call. i was told that staff are arriving by 12:45pm. We finally got in, and the place was like a wearhouse. We had to hurry so much, which is not ideal for party hosts. Staff were trying to help, and kids had fun. That is why i am leaving 2 stars.

It's disappointing to see that nothing has changed at this Y in over a decade. The same rude and…read moreunprofessional behavior others documented 12+ years ago is still present particularly within membership services. My interaction with Laura was hostile and dismissive and appeared discriminatory. Call it what it looks like. Hatred doesn't elevate anyone; it exposes them. While this location seems stuck in petty, ugly behavior, the rest of us move forward choosing dignity and decency. I was contacted regarding an alleged outstanding balance, even though my bank records clearly show successful withdrawals for both my membership and my daughter's swim lessons. When I disputed this and provided documentation, both services were immediately canceled and a refund was refused. The issue was escalated to the Regional Business Manager, who acknowledged receipt of the documentation but continues to request additional bank statements in order to "investigate," further delaying what should be a simple refund. At this point, the issue is not missing information but unnecessary delays. I am still waiting for refunds for canceled services and expect this matter to be resolved promptly.

She is exceptionally knowledgeable about children and has helped me with all kinds of kid things, since I am NOT knowledgeable about children :-) She and her staff (all of whom are family!) truly care about the kids and really take care of them lovingly. One of my favorite aspects of Little Achievers is how they encourage the kids to be age-appropriately independent. My 2 year old daughter can do so many things herself - put on her coat and shoes and using safety scissors for example - and she is SO proud that she can. I think a lot of the way she is willing to take on new challenges and keep trying even if she fails comes from the encouragement and structure she gets at Little Achievers. I also love how Christy focuses on helping the kids learn how to be good people. She is firm about manners and making sure the kids treat the staff and each other kindly and with respect. My daughter knows what is and is not kind behavior, and that her behavior can have an effect on the people around her. (Does she always choose to behave well? Absolutely not... but hey, she's 2!) We feel confident that bringing our kids here keeps them safe, happy, and helps them learn.

The teachers are all so warm and friendly, which is such a comfort when leaving your child there all day. They always have smiles on their faces and are ready to be silly with them. On more than one occasion, my daughter has been sad because she "misses Miss Melissa" or "misses Miss Tiffany." I feel so lucky I found the School for Early Excellence!!

We had looked at a few other childcare centers and we just didn't feel like they were the best fit, but i couldn't pinpoint why. What I do know is that we didn't get those feelings at all when we chose to enroll our child with Artisan. Our daughter learned so much being in their care for 2 years, and it was an added plus that Artisan really adds that extra focus in Art and Music. Aside from that the staff is wonderful, it felt like we were sending her to be with family and I never had to doubt my sense of trust in them. Now that my daughter is in kindergarten, it is bittersweet. She was fully prepared to take that step thanks to Artisan, I actually miss my early morning chats with Julie and some of the other teachers. There aren't enough words to say how grateful we are with the experience that we had. Thank you Artisan!!

I never got a full explanation from the staff. I got the impression that it was the owner.s daughter who was very unprofessional by yelling at a child for some unknown reason.

The owner was not sympathetic to the situation and didn't seem bothered that a child was upset or scared of being at her pre-school.

My wife would drop her off at 7:30 AM at the school and I would pick her up at 5:00 PM after I get off work, I noticed that her lunch box that my wife made her in the morning would be always full when I pick her up so I asked the teacher why don't you guys help her eat because my daughter won't eat anything if you don't tell her to go eat, the teacher told me that they can't force the kid to eat because it's their school policy, I replied to her saying that you didn't have to force her but hand it to her and tell her she has to eat she told me that there's nothing she can do about it. It seems dangerous to me that you would let a child spend a full day without eating because of some dumb policy. After this incident kept on happening I stopped sending her to school on the 27th of November because of my concerns for her wellbeing. Because of that the school decided to withhold my 2 weeks deposit and charge me an extra week in the month of December and they are threatening to send the extra December week to collections because I will not pay for it. Long story short if your kids don't have a good appetite and need a little encouragement to eat like mine don't send your children there to starve.

We were with them through first steps, first solids, first words, navigating a pandemic, potty training, having a sibling, losing teeth, learning to ride a bike and write their name, making friends and becoming self-assured and self-sufficient 5 year olds that were ready to make a seamless transition to Kindergarten. Not only is the facility and outdoor play spaces beautiful, but the school follows a curriculum that is shared each week and brings in outside companies, librarians and more to do specialized activities onsite as well. From bike days to pizza/pj fundraisers, apple pie making for Thanksgiving, to art shows, there was always something to look forward to. When we looked at many daycares when my first child was born, this school stood out leaps and bounds above the rest for having an educational plan in place, not just child care. I can't thank the Goddard School enough for the role they have played in such formative years for my children. The teachers care about the kids like family.
