Not impressed. My 5 year old child was so eager to learn gymnastics, so we signed up for a tumbling…read moreand trampoline combo class. The teacher was a huge disappointment! She looked like she didn't want to be there, and didn't enjoy being around children or interacting with them at all. She also didn't take the time to help my child improve her skills, which I thought was the whole point of an instructor?! Considering the steep cost, this is clearly not worth it. My child was so discouraged she no longer wants to go. Maybe another class would be a better fit, but I think the overall atmosphere is not a good fit for us. We're looking to have fun while learning new skills, and it seems that others have Olympic ambitions and the serious attitude that comes with it. Perhaps this place is focused on their star programs and not everyday children who want to have fun while learning the basics.

They unfortunately believed in "if she's hungry, she'll eat" philosophy which unfortunately was not the case with my baby. She has been exclusively breastfed and genuinely struggles to eat from a bottle. The sucking action is way different between breasts and a bottle. She took bottle from a couple people there. But they wanted her to learn to take it from anyone. So they STARVED my baby from 8-5 everyday for a couple weeks and asked the teachers she was comfortable with to STOP giving her the bottle! They also tried sleep training her with CIO method while she was hungry and starving. They also force fed her one time with one teacher locking her in her arms while the other was squirting milk into her mouth. They said this THEMSELVES as though they were taming a wild animal, that too when we grew very concerned that her weight dropped drastically. The school said she's one of the most stubborn babies they have ever seen and that they cannot care for her anymore. She's a BABY! And you say you have decades of experience! Apparently my daughter thought she's the boss and everything had to happen her way. The director complained that my baby spilled food on one of the teachers and the poor teacher had to call home and have her relative bring change of clothes for her. Excuse me? You work with babies and they are messy! You should know that by now! They are still learning their hands and legs coordination at that age and that's why they need someone to feed them and can't feed themselves. NOT my baby's fault that she spilled something! The school definitely don't work on building trust with the baby and working their way into a baby's life. They only believe in meeting physiological needs as though they are running a circus! Glad we are out of there.
