I can verify the other reviewers here, this is just an overpriced daycare. Their definition of…read moreteaching engineering is having them watch a youtube video where kids play with toy cars. Theres no actual STEM teaching involved in this. Also, they can decide on any day they want that they won't be feeding the kids, even though they tell you they'll be feeding your kids every day at the camp before you sign up. Nice little bait and switch.

I have no idea why this daycare is called "engineering for kids". It's a very expensive daycare…read more That's it. My 10 year old son just did three weeks of this "engineering" and I had to pull him out of the forth week... It is incredibly boring, they don't really explain any engineering/math/science concepts. For example, during the aerodynamics week all they did was build a paper kite. THAT'S IT! They didn't talk about aerodynamics AT ALL! The drones week was frustrating as well since they didn't have enough drones for everyone and some of the ones they had were broken. The second part of the camp which is supposed to be either coding or some type of electronic LEARNING activity is basically "go play some Minecraft. Half the time their apps or equipment didn't work and the other half the time they don't have enough for everyone! What really did it for me was this...Monday I picked up my son and he said he didn't want to go back it was so boring. He said he'd rather find something to do at home than go back. They also didn't feed the kids breakfast like they were supposed to so the kids were all hungry till lunch! That's unacceptable! The first part of the day was supposed to be survival (survival theme week) and he said they just played some games that had NOTHING with survival like who has the largest feet or smth dumb like that! I called them and in all fairness they did refund me for the rest of the week but I wouldn't recommend this "engineering" camp to anyone. Find a cheaper daycare. Maybe other locations are better but the one at the Vector academy on Warner/Arizona is not.

Also a lot of screen time, arcade time, but only a small amount of time spent on the actual theme of the day/week. We were also really disappointed and concerned about the lack of safety protocols. There were teenagers checking us in which was okay, but no one checked us out and no one checked if I was even taking the right child. Overall way too stimulating, poor food, and terrible security measures.

This Code Ninja participates in the Arizona ESA Class Wallet program and is inclusive of all children. We really appreciate the support and fun way to learn coding.

I contacted Arizona Soccer Skills Academy because my son was begging me for private soccer lessons…read moreover the summer. I spoke with Coach Rizzo on several occasions about it, and he kept trying to push us to the summer camp group sessions, which I made clear I did not want. Eventually, Coach Rizzo agreed to private lessons, and I registered and paid the $414 for 6 weekly lessons. After the first lesson, Coach Rizzo suggested we join the group sessions, which I took to mean in addition to the private lessons. Yesterday, we showed up for lesson #2, and Coach Rizzo was not there. When I texted him, he said he transferred us to the group sessions in lieu of private lessons, and when I objected and requested a refund, he said they don't issue refunds. So, it was a bait and switch, and I'm out hundreds of dollars. Their website says they offer private soccer lessons, but only if your child is good enough, apparently, yet they will gladly take your money and provide nothing in return. It should be noted we did attend a trail group session before registering AND PAYING FOR private lessons and then a group session after the first private lessons. We were less than impressed. The teenage coaches kept the kids in a tiny practice space, no even large enough to run in, and did extremely basic drills. (My son is 13 and has been playing recreational soccer for years.) My son was bored and not at all challenged. I do not recommend this organization.
