My 5yr older daughter attended SportsTyme last year for the 1st month of summer on her own without…read moreknowing whether or not any of her friends would be going. Was a bit hesitant on how well she would do as she isn't really the 'sporty' type either. SportsTyme does an AMAZING job keeping the kids busy. She got to play new sports that she normally wouldn't have done on her own choosing, which really got her out of her shell. Scott was great! Enjoyed my trivia every morning coming in. Looking forward to 2019 camp!

Any senior who lives near this civic center needs to visit and examine their calendar of activities…read moreand events. They have classes and activities on site and daytime trips around the Central Florida area that begin there. Trip prices cost less than what would be paid on your own and include transportation, lunch, and entry/ticket for the event. Also, the people who work there are professional and thoughtful. If the event is full, you can be placed on a wait list, and someone will call if there is a cancellation. You are missing out on fun and interesting things to do if you fail to check out what is offered.

Took my toddler twins here and they had a great time. The park is well maintained and clean…read more They have a play area for toddlers and separate area for older kids. It also has one pavilion with picnic tables. Overall, a great time to spend an hour with kids. The recreation center next to the park has a community pool with a fun splash pad area for little ones, which adds another great activity.

My 14 year old son has attended ID Tech Summer Camp for the past 5 years. Each year when the camp…read moreends, he is already talking about going back the next year. This summer he has opted for the overnight option because he has felt he was "missing out" by only going to day camp. My son has attended MANY different summer camps of all types, day and overnight, sports, academic, music, Boy Scouts, Disney, Sea World, in state, out of state, etc. ID Tech is at the top of his list. The staff to camper ratio is excellent and the staffers are terrific - high energy, fun, young, computer geek types. My son has been to the camp at both UCF and Rollins College - both facilities have been good. And my son has always commented that the food is great! The only negative is the cost - it's expensive. This camp is not for every kid. But if you've looked at the courses and your son or daughter has an interest in these programs, I don't think you'll find better.

So we were able to bring our own food and beverages in and Keara had everything ready and welcoming.

Certainly one of the best places to host a birthday party. Looking forward to bringing my son for the open art studio.

During the Second Seminole War n 1836, the US Army established Camp Monroe on the shore of Lake…read moreMonroe to unload troops and supplies. On February 8, 1837, a force of Seminole Indians led by Emathla and his son, Coacoochee, attacked the camp, resulting in the Battle of Camp Monroe. Captain Charles Mellon died defending the fort and 14 soldiers were injured. The fort was renamed in his honor. Mellon was said to be buried near where he was killed under a large tree. Over the following months, the other soldiers killed at Fort Mellon were buried at a cemetery nearby the fort. Later on Mellon was reinterred in a cemetery in St. Augustine but not all of the bodies were moved. The remaining dead, about 20-26, who were buried at Fort Mellon are still there and nobody knows exactly where. Over time, the fort was abandoned and the cemetery was lost. The area around the fort developed into the city of Mellonville which was eventually annexed by Sanford. In January of 1938, the city commission voted to name a new park after Fort Mellon. Today the park is a popular gathering spot for outdoor recreation for the City of Sanford. Over 17 acres the community can enjoy basketball courts, outdoor exercise equipment, a fort themed playground, eight picnic pavilions equipped with tables and grills, and Central Florida's largest splash pad. The history, waterfront views, and well kept facilities have made this park a beloved destination for family fun in Sanford for decades. This park is a destination for family community gatherings, play, and fitness. Fort Mellon Park connects to the Sanford Riverwalk for even more recreational opportunities. .

This park is located right by the water in downtown Sanford. We were exploring the downtown area…read moreand had to stop when we saw the huge park. The park has has two sides. One for bigger kids and then a side for smaller kids. Perfect for families of different aged children. Both sides have really fun features for the kids. The older side resembles a castle with lots climbing, slides and a draw bridge. The younger side resembles a ship. It has rocking boats, shorter steps, and baby swings. This park has a nice padded floor but it is not covered. With the water near by and the direct sunlight it can be very hot for children so pay attention to this. Next to the park is the splash pad which is very large and fun for kids. The bathroom is located between the two. Some parts of the park seem unfinished or under construction. Overall it's a nice park with a lot to offer for locals or visitors.

Updating this review as my son has moved up in classes within this childcare facility…read more I wanna say that he is really had a decent experience there, but I feel like this is all a business more than it is a place for kids to feel safe. My child would be transitioned very quickly after turning a new age and it was just really abrupt and I don't feel like the transition had the interest of the child at heart. It was more to get new children - into the facility to earn more money; And I do understand that it is a business, but I do feel like depending on the child, there should be some more compassion given. There were too many times that my child was getting hurt in the older classes, and I was finding out about it late or not finding out about it at all. If I Would find out it was through my child and then the teachers would confirm. No Incident reports were written nor did directors know (but I feel like that was more because it was pushed under the rug by leadership) I should've been called each and every time regardless of the severity. I feel like there was also lots of gaslighting going on. Saying that kids were getting expelled from the facility for their repeated incidents of bad behavior and hitting, and that was not the case (all in all it was to keep business and money flowing into the facility). Won't be back this year for VPK. I still believe that the younger teachers 2a and below are great and children will be taken well care of. Just can't say the same about the older classes. 3's class was not too bad. Destine and Chesney were such great teachers!

The open door policy, the fact that they listen to concerns and provide feedback. They are always there for my kids. You can tell they really care about the kids and want the best for them. It's amazing knowing my children are in such great hands! I love the cameras and access to see what my kids are doing throughout the day. The pictures and updates at the end of the day. The fact that they're always willing to help and answer the phone w any concerns or issues. Everyone is very friendly and inviting. I'm glad I chose them. They've been great!
