My oldest daughter is in her 3rd year of DesignX's fashion camp; my younger daughter was finally…read moreable to join in the fun this year! DesignX offers fashion design and related illustration, fabric and accessory classes, toy design, and product design. In the fashion class, the kids design and make an their own incredible outfit over the course of a week. The outfits are conceived as part of a collection (with a overarching unified color theme). The kids iterate their design ideas, create and sew their outfit complete with accessories, and present it in an exciting fashion show for their families at the end of the week! Each outfit is unique to each child, but work as part of the collection. As a home sewist, I can tell you that the sewing aspect of the fashion camp is set up for real success for the kids, even as they create unique outfits - the skills are age appropriate and build as they get older. 2nd and 3rd graders create skirts and modify t-shirts; 4th and 5th graders create tunics; 6th and 7th graders create more complex dresses and rompers. My husband and I are both professional designers. The design process taught at DesignX is great. The kids work through an iterative process that relates to what designers do in the real world. The fact that they express their personal creativity in real ways but are doing it within an overarching/relational theme speaks to the way designers work in the real world. My older daughter wore her tunic as a cover-up all last summer; I know she'll be wearing her new top with shorts. And my younger daughter will be wearing her skirt as well. We love DesignX camp, and my kiddos can't wait for next year!

All we had to do was bring snacks, pizza and decorations (but even those were not needed because the space is so bright and lovely).

The entire space is instagram worthy :) Thank you for a great time!

I came to Elena as I wanted to take personal classes and learn academic to be able to draw people. I'm more than satisfied with results and I can see my progress with every single work that we are doing. She taught me not only how to draw, but how to look at any object, how to study form, shape and shadow. I'm really thankful Elena for her patience on her work with me, for her positive attitude and support whenever I felt talentless. I would highly recomend classes with Elena for kids and adults.

We couldn't be more thrilled with our decision to move our daughter to this exceptional Montessori…read morepreschool. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we knew we had found something special. The school's approach to communication with children is truly remarkable. The teachers consistently demonstrate a level of respect and patience that is both refreshing and inspiring. It's clear that they view each child as deserving of kindness and understanding, and as unique individuals. One of the standout features of the school is its meticulously organized environment. The classrooms are thoughtfully arranged to promote independence, curiosity, and learning. It's a joy to see how this structured setting allows children to flourish and develop essential life skills. Also, the teachers here have been nothing short of amazing, and have been so kind to all of us. Perhaps the most telling sign of the school's success is the happiness of the children. The children are always smiling and engaged. Our daughter's enthusiasm for school has skyrocketed since joining a year and a half ago, and she quickly gained a confidence and independence that we did not see at the precious school. We were so impressed that we enrolled our younger child as well, and the results have been equally fantastic. Our little one now eagerly anticipates school each day.. seriously, she can't wait to go to school, no tears!

Both my girls absolutely thrived here and learned so much - they were both reading towards the end of their third year here, knew their numbers and counting and were even naming all the various countries in the map of South America! There is also a lot of focus on building social skills, grace and courtesy, and valuable life lessons like conflict resolution on the playground. Their 3 yrs here really prepared them for elementary school and helped them start kindergarten feeling very prepared and confident. The parent community has been wonderful as well with both our children and us having made many friends over the years. If you are looking for a Montessori preschool for your child I highly recommend this one.

Tonight before bed he wanted to know how many more days till he gets to go again and if I could please add Spy Camp as well. My son had so much fun! He loved everything about the camps...and so did I. The Space Camp was very realistic, well planned out and detailed. The props and special effects were amazing. My son came home every day excited to share all of the information he had learned that day about space, astronauts and rockets. We were very impressed with how educational the camp was. Throughout the week my son was so excited to gather little souvenirs from his experiences at the Space Camp and they are still among his most prized possessions. He was thrilled with all the special props he was able to use and with the space themed crafts he made. The Sports Camp was excellent. I really appreciated that it wasn't your typical sports camp. In addition to the typical sports you might see at a camp, the Imaginif Sports Camp also included archery, golf and rock climbing. I was so impressed that every skill the camp introduced was taught by a professional. It made the experiences very worthwhile for my son. He was exhausted when I picked him up each day. He gave it his all and loved every minute of it. The camp staff were so kind and enthusiastic. You could tell that the entire camp experience was planned with a lot of thought and attention to detail. The attention given to each child was impressive as well. We are so pleased with our experience with Imaginif, we will definitely be attending again.

My 7 year old daughter and 5 year old son participated in A-mazing Race, Space Camp, and Sports Camp and loved all of them. I signed them up for this camp because I was intrigued by the concept; now that my family has experienced Imaginif, I am happy to attest that it exceeded my expectations. Several aspects set Imaginif apart for me: the professional ambience that founders Sharon & David create with creative props and costumes, the intimacy of a family-run camp and relatively small group of campers that makes for a more personal experience, and the unique enrichment activities that are offered. On the latter, my husband and I also benefited from our kids' exposure to several of the enrichment activities. For example, Sharon & David organized a post-camp activity for campers and families to go to Moffett Field to launch the Estes rockets the kids had built at Space Camp. It was an unforgettable experience that our family would never have known about if not for Imaginif. Our kids can't wait to go back to Imaginif Camp next summer!
