As a working mom, nothing is harder than finding quality childcare at a price that doesn't burn…read morethrough your entire paycheck. At $200 for the entire summer, there's no way I could pass up such a value to have my kiddo taken care of for 9 hours a day 5 days a week. Well, the old saying is true- you get what you pay for. This is long but I feel it all needs to be said. I was lured in with big talk of a structured day with continued learning and weekly field trips. Sad to say this wasn't the case. Our kiddo is entering 1st grade, so she is young, but the folks signing us up let me know she would be welcomed into the program. It was only after orientation that I was informed since she was not 6 years old, she couldn't go on field trips because of insurance policies for the buses. You would think if they take them into the program, they would bus them. Ok, NBD. Well- 1st field trip rolls around & the director asks if P was signed up. I said she was & Nikia said "great, bus leaves at 8:30." I then asked if policy changed because she was 5, to which she quickly shifted to "yeah, she can't go." Had I not said anything, she would have put her on the bus. I was then asked every week if she was signed up. By more than one employee, multiple times. No one seemed to remember this important info until I reminded them. A week in she got a huge bruise running into a broken foosball table. No accident report. Week later, slip & hit her head- accident report made, but when I inquired about why I didn't get a report for the 1st incident, I was told there was no incident. Weird, because a coach had to get her ice & calm her down from crying & a week later she still had a bruise. Same week I get pulled aside to be told about "behavior," it seems she was peeling paint off the wall. A) Why does a childcare establishment have paint peeling off the wall? B) Why is my child being left unattended long enough to peel paint? I reprimanded her but was more concerned on the two points stated above. Daily I got told stories of bullying & name calling. BGC is supposed to have zero tolerance, but I guess that is just talk. Not once but twice, P was accosted by two different kids who thought shoving & kicking were a good idea. One punk thought it was ok to kick my little girl in the crotch because she called him out for cutting line. No clue what happened to the kids but my guess is they are still running around. My kid has some anxiety, & misses me when she's upset. So when the bullying started, she didn't want to be there & she would ask if she could call me from the front. Instead of figuring out why she was exhibiting the behavior, they allowed her to call me, multiple days. Once I was contacted by my daughter EIGHT times in 1 day. They should have taken the initiative to deflect the situation, to engage her in an activity that would ease her apprehension. No, their solution was to have her repeat dial me from the desk. I have a full time job- not only was this unnecessary but very distracting & worrisome as when I didn't answer & the repeat calls came in I thought something was wrong. I called back only to be greeted w/ an adolescent "HELLO." Apparently a "helper" child was answering the phone- I didn't even know if I was calling the right place. Another day, the kid was having more anxiety. BGC calls with a report of a stomachache. Husband drops everything to go and see her cutting up & running around like a normal 5 year old. Kid played them & they were clueless. Building full of children & you can't see when you're getting a line? The last straw was when they denied my daughter the bathroom & she peed her pants. Another child had a nosebleed in the girls' room & they shut it down for an extended period. My daughter informed her coaches she needed to go & they denied her repeatedly instead of opening staff room or allowing girls to go into the boys' room. Newsflash- kids like to wait until the last minute to tell you, so when they have to go, they have to go. No, instead they let my little girl pee herself. So if she wasn't getting bullied before, she would after this. A 5 year old, still trying to figure life out, & getting zero help from this so-called safe space for kids. I pulled her out that day & the director couldn't have cared less. I informed her it would be my child's last day. No whys, no trying to talk me out of it, no understanding my frustrations, just a nonchalant breathy "sorry it didn't work out" w/ an eye roll.

I haven't been to the batting cage since I was a kid so I decided to be adventurous and go try it…read moreout again. This location was closer to us so we went in and there is a Yelp coupon for 20% off one batting cage round but I decided to save that for another time since we were going to rent a cage for an hour. This store is on the other side of Dollar Tree. The employees there were really nice and helpful. The rental included helmets and bats so that was nice. You have to miss a couple of shots before you get the hang of things but once you get to swinging, it will be hard to stop. The hour went by fast and it was split between three people. There is no max for the cage rentals so if you wanted to share it with 10 people, you could. There is also a gym and private training lessons there for anyone interested. I highly recommend and I plan to go back!

I would never entrust this place with the care of my child…read more Over the course of two consecutive days, my 6-year-old son was hit in the face with a dodgeball during camp. I completely understand that accidents happen and that kids get hurt while playing sports. We have had our children involved in sports since they were 3 years old, and we fully expect bumps and bruises. What is unacceptable is how the situation was handled. At no point did anyone call us, and the coach never mentioned that our son had been hit in the face. My son did tell the staff that he got hurt, yet no one offered him basic care or informed us about the incident when I picked him up. I only learned what happened because my son told me himself. Instead, they left it up to a 6-year-old to communicate what he needed. He's the youngest child there and, like many young children, he wanted to be tough in front of the older kids. Expecting a 1st-grader to recognize, communicate, and advocate for his own medical needs is simply not appropriate. For more than $250 a week for only a few hours of daily care, I expected the staff to take some initiative. Something as simple as offering ice or notifying a parent should be standard practice. What was even more disappointing was the owner's response. Rather than expressing concern or apologizing, I was told that because my son "didn't ask for anything," they didn't offer him anything. There was no acknowledgment that the situation could have been handled better, no commitment to improve their procedures, and ZERO empathy. Instead, the owner seemed offended that I raised the concern and told me my reaction was unfair. This review is not about a child getting hurt. It's about the complete lack of responsibility, care, and accountability shown afterward. When parents leave their children in your care, they trust you to look after them--not to rely on a 6-year-old to decide when he needs help. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this academy to any parent looking for a place that prioritizes the safety and well-being of young children.
