    I showed up for the first time ever to this location to celebrate my kids 10th birthday I took 3 kids and when I arrived at 1:30 the receptionist was on the phone. You girl who lacked customer service, kept talking to someone about a birthday set up. Took like 5-8 minutes on the phone, once done said your waivers are done go ahead I'll charge you at the end, blue door on the end. My kids jumped 10-15 minutes and was charged $66 and got kicked out at 2. Not once did she think of saying "hey are you guys aware that free jump is 12-2 ? " I even bought 3 drinks for $9 and she still didn't tell me anything. It was expensive and ruined my kids birthday. The inside had 3 jumpers not even impressive

    Visited on 4/8/2023 - We went for our friend's son's birthday party. We were excited to go since it was our first time here. Our son had fun. Couple of things we were kinda iffy about was how small the spaces were for these gigantic bounce house. It was a bit claustrophobic for me and it got stuffy with all the people in there. Also the staff member looked like she was getting annoyed with the kids taking balls out of the bounce house. She approached my son who was at that time was about 3 y/o and told him not to take the balls out. He did not understand, he felt the balls didn't belong in there. I felt so bad because he was having so much fun. He was not causing harm to anyone, just making sure the kiddos in the bounce house were safe from tripping on the balls. We had to step in and guide our son to not take the balls out as it belongs in there. **I just think the staff needs to understand that they're working with kids. Some kids may understand, some may not. Just kindly show them the balls belong insides the bounce house. ***Sorry for my late review but good thing this was saved in my draft. This experience still lived fresh in my brain lol***

    Prices have gone up and the limitation on food that can be brought in is not great. Also they kept calling my son Carmen (a girls name) instead of his name Kamrenn (Cameron) even after they were corrected. One of the selling points on the website is " Special Birthday Sticker" instead my son was given a pink crown. Instead of fixing it and getting him a different color crown when I told them my son is a boy the host just shrugged her shoulders and said I thought he was a girl. Obviously he's not a girl. They didn't even offer to fix it. In the first room one of the jumpers had band aids stuck right where people slide down. Definitely will not have another party here again it's gone down hill. We've had multiple parties here but never again.

    I saw you have to pay $20 to bring in your own drinks, does this include water or just soda and juice?

    You don't pay to bring bottled water, only soda and juice

    Is my nearly 4 years old allowed ? She is about 18.5 Kg and 105 cm?

    Yes! I took my two and 4 year old here. They do have a toddler time, I believe on Friday mornings, that's perfect if you can check it out!

Having the options to swim and fish on top of crafts and activities is a fantastic way to spend the summer for him. As a parent, I appreciate the longer than traditional summer camp hours compared to most summer camp programs that end mid day or later afternoon. The schedule here works best for my work schedule while letting my child feel like he was at a fun camp instead of at the school TLC program on school campus. When summer concludes all he talks about is how he misses it or how he can't wait for summer to come again. Added perk is using the snack shack as a lesson in budgeting and money management for him over the summer!!!! The staff is great and I highly recommend enrolling your child.

When our children reported the bullying behavior to the counselor, they would take no action. When one of our sons had their own behaviorial issue, Ms. Sylvia called my wife at work to pick him up. Because my wife took over an hour to get to the location (she was in a meeting at the time and had to commute), Ms Sylvia decided (as retaliation towards my wife for "taking too long") to suspend our child the following day. When we asked Ms. Sylvia for a full refund for the day she was not allowing our child to attend camp, she refused despite Campco terms that provide if Campco cancels camp for a child, it will issue a full refund. If you have young kids, I would stay away from this place and Ms. Sylvia!

    It's such a bittersweet moment for me as we say goodbye to what has truly been the best preschool…read more Both of my children started their journey here--my daughter, who is now 7, and today was my son's very last day. Leaving is incredibly emotional because this place has always felt like family. From the amazing teachers to the wonderful management and the kindest owner, every single person here has been so caring, welcoming, understanding, and supportive. The love, attention, and education they provide are simply unmatched. If you're looking for a preschool where your children will be genuinely loved, nurtured, and cared for like family, this is the place. I will miss you all so much, but I know this isn't really goodbye. I've made lifelong friends here, and I had to get all the teachers' contact information because I couldn't imagine not staying in touch. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving my children, believing in them, and giving them the most beautiful start in life. We will always be grateful

    do not recommend this school based on our family's experience. Unfortunately, we experienced…read moreongoing stress due to the school's administration and management. Communication was often difficult, and we did not feel supported when concerns about our son were raised. One of the biggest issues was the constant turnover of teachers in my son's classroom. During our time at the school, his class had multiple teachers, making it difficult for the children to build stable relationships and adjust to a consistent learning environment. Several staff members expressed concerns about the work environment, which was disappointing to us. The administration/ specially director did not demonstrate the level of knowledge or expertise in child development and child psychology that I expected from a leadership team responsible for young children ( I even heard this from teachers). Rather than working with families to understand children's behaviors and support their growth, I often felt that the focus was on discipline instead of teaching and guiding children through age-appropriate challenges. Young children need patience, consistency, and positive guidance to learn appropriate behaviors. Unfortunately, I did not feel that the management took that approach, and I believe my kid would have benefited from more understanding and support. It was my impression that families who gave gifts or maintained a closer relationship with the administration received more favorable treatment. As a result, I felt our kids did not receive the same level of support!!!!! Last but not least Please consider that very serious Goddard director talks about "fairness " however she treat parents differently when they give her expensive gifts? I've heard this from several parents who warned us, but unfortunately we didn't listen.

Both Vincent and David were outstanding and made us feel welcome and supported throughout. We can't recommend this place enough for birthday parties or group events. We are so happy to have them in Lake Forest! Thank you for making our son's birthday so memorable!

A very special shoutout to Miss Sunny, who has made an incredible impact on our son's development. She brings such warmth, patience, and positivity into the classroom every day. Her dedication to her students is unmatched--she truly sees and supports each child as an individual. Our son has grown in confidence, curiosity, and kindness thanks to her guidance. Yes, quality education is an investment--and this school is worth every penny. The care, attention, and professionalism they pour into their students far exceeds expectations.

He loved the variety of activities and made so many new friends. He came home with fun stories each day. I loved that they offered a variety of options from 2 days/week to 5 days. We returned last summer and an unexpected and sudden medical event threw our summer for a loop. They were beyond kind and accommodating. Michael, the owner, personally made sure we were taken care of at a very scary time and was just incredibly kind and communicative. I can't thank him and his staff enough for the support.

    My son attended Adventurewood camp for the first time this week. For the most part he enjoyed…read morehimself -- particularly the characters they introduce throughout the week. However, we decided to pull him out for next week because of a very disturbing situation. He shared that a counselor had pushed him with both hands on his shoulders during a capture the flag activity. He had dropped his flag and was putting it back on when a counselor (he didn't know her name) pushed him back hard enough to make him lose his balance and fall. She also barked "you need to reset!" She didn't ask if he was ok or help him up. You'd think if this was an accidental push and he fell over she would say something like "sorry bud are you ok? Here let me help you up" but nope, not a word. A friend he's attending camp with witnessed the whole incident. Since I pick them both up in the afternoons they both recounted this situation to me and both of them noted how inappropriate her behavior was. I immediately reached out to Michael, the owner of the camp. He said he wanted to identify this counselor and get her side of the story. Understandable. My son felt uncomfortable going back the next day but I reassured him it would be handled and offered to drop him off in the morning and stick around to talk to Michael and the counselor. I wanted him to feel safe. Michael identified her (her name is Carson) and said he wanted to talk to her first, which he did a few feet away from me. I heard her say she didn't push him. They then walked over to me and she again denied everything. So we asked both kids to come over and recount what happened. They both did -- in front of her -- and reiterated she pushed him. She denied even touching him. So Michael suggests at this point that perhaps it was an accident and my son responds by saying "how do you push someone like that by accident?!" No response. So I ask her, are you saying these kids are lying? She again said she didn't touch him and at this point we send the kids away. I'm incensed because not only does she gaslight both of them to their face but tells this bold faced lie to her boss in front of the campers and me. I tell her I believe them and I think she's the one lying. At this point she gives me this dirty look - angry, irritated and almost rolls her eyes at me. I turn to Michael and say "and now she's giving ME an attitude?!" Unbelievable. In a follow up call, he tells me how good of a person she is and that this is shocking for him to hear but that she doesn't seem like someone who would do something like this...that she's getting her teacher credentials and he knows her really well. I am getting the vibe he doesn't actually believe any of this and he sounds very skeptical. I respond by telling him that it's almost always surprising when people exhibit bad behavior and that even teachers do bad things...that doesn't make her any more credible in my eyes. He acknowledged that. In fact, it's worse because I would be really concerned to have someone like that teaching a kid. Lack of empathy, accountability, and integrity. I mean, I think it's great he's trying to have her back but there are moments in life when you need to draw a line and act swiftly...these are one of those moments. Because ultimately, this impacts the reputation of your camp. I told him that it would be good to offer training to his staff in case this ever happens again in the future and honestly he sounded baffled and asked me to clarify...I said well maybe tell your staff not to give dirty looks to a mom who's clearly upset that her son just got pushed by a grown adult at summer camp?? I told him that the response to this situation could've resulted in a totally different outcome. Had she said something like "I really don't recall pushing you but if I inadvertently did and made you feel bad I'm sorry - I didn't mean to do that" - I would've went home that morning feeling fine about the situation. When I told him this he said that he's not going to police all her reactions, that she's still young, that she's still learning and made all kinds of excuses for her. Exhausting. Apparently she got a "warning" and will sit out of the flag activity (umm, ok...). He seems like a smart guy and wish him nothing but success in the future and I was earnestly trying to offer advice for how to handle a situation like this better but it fell on deaf ears. I really hope that some kind of learning comes out of this for both of them. Oh and to top it off, my son's friend told her mom that Carson was giving her looks several times throughout the day today and when she asked what kind she said "side eye" looks. NOT COOL. My son also said she was kind of mean to him but wondering why they were even in close proximity when Michael said they'd absolutely be separated and would not see each other? Validates we both made the right choice by pulling them both out. He offered a refund but I'm still pissed about the situation.
