    My daughter started taking classes here right after she turned two, about four months ago. At…read morefirst, she was overwhelmed and didn't want to participate, and I thought maybe she just wasn't ready. I called the owner, Hayley, and she spent a good amount of time with me on the phone listening to my concerns and asking questions about what exactly was happening with my daughter during class. She encouraged me to participate in the classes and gave me some very helpful direction about how to get my daughter more engaged in the activities. The teacher of the class was always very positive and encouraging, too, and now my daughter loves to go to her ballet classes! My husband and I also had the opportunity to participate in the Spring performance of The Velveteen Rabbit; we helped move sets backstage while the students performed. I was extremely impressed by the staff of the school and the owner and her family who were also helping; they obviously put in many, many hours to make the show the success that it was. There were hundreds of students in the show, and the staff and helpers organized the dancers backstage and for their onstage appearances in a completely professional manner, so the show went off without a hitch. The people with whom I've interacted at the front counter have always been attentive, courteous and helpful. We've met 4 different teachers (the school is very flexible about making up missed classes) and they've all been excellent! They are all so warm and welcoming and very professional, and they do an amazing job corralling the little ones to keep them moving from one activity to the next. We love Kinetics and wouldn't go anywhere else!

    My daughter in law booked a gymnastics birthday party for my granddaughter. No instructor ever…read moreshowed up. We were left in the front lobby with excited toddlers and confused parents, with absolutely no communication or explanation. We had over 6 toddlers waiting in a Lobby and over 15 adults. Not ok. This was so unprofessional and upsetting, especially for young toddlers who were looking forward to a party. A call or email, or honestly any notice at all would have made a huge difference, but we received nothing. And WE were the ones who had to track down the owner to ask why no one was there after waiting an hour. I would not recommend this business to anyone planning an event, especially something as important as a young child's birthday party. Reliability and communication is a bare minimum expectation and this experience fell far below that. This was not ok.

    Update: I grew a new appreciation for WaterSprites after participating in CARD swim lessons. Don't…read moreget me wrong, I LOVE that there is a more affordable option offered for the Chico area and that it's much cheaper than WaterSprites (by about half), but being able to go into an indoor temperature controlled pool without having to put on sunscreen and be blinded by the sun and having all the changing tables and cubbies is just a far superior and more calm experience. At the PV pool where CARD lessons are being held, they have a nothing other than a narrow bench around the border of a large room. It's not like I can change my baby ahead of time because swim diapers only hold in solids, so I find this extremely inadequate for the age group the swim lessons are offered for. My impression is that the instructors at WaterSprites are also much more specialized in working with the younger babies and kids. I guess I'm more into the bougie over the budget experience, LOL. Water sprites also did end up finding us a spot in the other class that worked for our new schedule, so that was much appreciated. That being said, our experience in the Tuesday 1 PM class versus the Tuesday 9 AM class was just totally different. In the Tuesday 1 PM class, the temperatures in the pool and the room were exactly where they needed to be, and there was only the baby class going at that time. When we changed to the 9 AM class due to our new schedule conflict (this was in January), we learned that the pool and the room were much cooler because it hadn't had a time to warm up. There also seemed to be another small class operating at the same time. With the babies, I was of the opinion that the temperature being high enough and having the very calm, lower stimulating environment were critical. Ultimately, we did end up canceling our membership because it was definitely a push for my husband to take her in the morning before work, and then to be confronted with temperatures that were still a bit too cold and an environment that was a bit too overstimulating for our baby (6 months old at the time), it was just.... Not quite "there" enough to continue at that age and time of our lives and at that premium price. That is not to say that they didn't do a good job. While there is some improvement that could be made, overall, you cannot get that same service elsewhere in Chico and we would probably return to water sprites if/when the stars align
