This place is completely a kids art studio - we thought there were adult options, but what we got…read morewas a 5 minute tutorial on the employee's ipad we could have done at home. Paid $42 for 2 8x10 canvases worth about a dollar each and some paint and a tutorial. The ceramic pieces are not fired for you, and they cost $30 for something I can buy from Target for $5. Pretty much a rip-off in my opinion. Not a real art studio. Just a money-making birthday place.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Dawn and her team for my son's birthday this year. He's…read morevery into science and all types of experiments, so when we found that Dawn and her team would come to our home to do a science party we were thrilled. They were excellent! Dawn really knows how to engage a group of little kids, brought all the supplies and activities, and cleaned up in the end too. The kids were able to make their own slime, their own "snow", some very cool crystals, etc. They had a total blast and I was able to just relax and watch all the kids have fun. My son still asks about it all the time, so I'm sure we'll have to invite Dawn and her team again in the future.

Each kid did a hands on experiment which the result of they got to take home as a party favor. In this case it was dragon snot, dragon food, and dragon medicine. Each experiment was preceded by a short demonstration and explanation of the science behind it, and despite being educational it was fun and kept even the youngest child's attention. Dawn and her assistant handled everything from the entertainment to serving the cake to cleaning up and packing up the party favors. It was easy, fun, and educational. Highly recommended!

Optimist Training is the best kept secret in the Carolinas!!! I would like to thank Billy Wilken…read moreand his wife Stephanie for planning and executing two fun filled weeks of a custom adventure summer camp for my son, his cousins and family friends- a custom group of kids from 12 to 15 years of age. The adventure camp included kayaking, fishing, swimming, hiking, disc golf and sports training. The kids were at Ebenezer Park on Lake Wylie, Andrew Jackson State Park, the Catawba River and the Fort Mill Dam to Riverwalk. The kids had so much fun that at the end of the day, they just wanted an afternoon snooze instead of looking at their phones. Billy is a great guy, while fishing, he taught the kids all kinds of fun facts like how to tell time by just looking at the sun's location. Most important, he's able to identify a child's natural sport's abilities and give the coaching and reinforcement to help the child thrive. A special thank you to Billy and Stephanie for their hard work and flexibility with us to make this a memorable experience, the kids loved it!!! We are now planning an adventure birthday party that will involve all three generations. I highly recommend Optimist Training for custom camp adventures , special events and more. Thank you!!! -Diana Leon

Terrible experience, we just had our last and final day at this place and our kids and will not be…read moregoing back again even though they still have a week left of school, I am completely over this place. The teachers are disrespectful to the kids, like the other review mentioned, they do let things escalate and let kids get physical and then have the kid that was being bullied get written up because they had to defend themselves. It is slip after slip, my kids were in tears most afternoons. I will NOT recommend this place. Only handful of individuals that are actually good and communicate well but can't say the same about the rest.

This is his 2nd year. We have been at 2 different schools. I cannot speak highly enough about the staff. They are very engaging with the kids. They help them with their homework. The after school program is right at the school which is very convenient. The kids form such special bonds at Flyers with the teachers and the other children. I would definitely recommend.
