I was very impressed with what I experienced today during an introductory "tour and play". The…read morelocation is great, the place is brand new (obviously) and everyone was friendly and welcoming. I personally have high standards that is nothing compared to what I expect for my little ones and this definitely deserves five stars. There are two gym rooms, a kitchen for cooking classes, dance studio for ballet, hip hop & karate, and the student to teacher ratio will be 6:1 depending on the class. The classes are structured and if you sign up early (which we did) you get free play passes. I know it's too early to tell, but I'm sold!

Before you book this camp, you should be aware of 2 things: This is really not a camp for older…read morekids. It skews towards 4-8 at the oldest. Average age is about 6. Second, they have an extremely rigid cancellation policy - once you enroll, unless you cancel with more than 2 weeks notice you will get no refund on the full booking fee. My daughter woke up with a fever and tested positive for Covid the morning of camp and we obviously decided not to bring her. The camp refused to reschedule or even offer a 50% discount on a future session. I'd recommend checking out School of Rock instead.

I heard about this recently opened location from a friend. It's a soccer studio where you can take…read moreclasses. Interesting concept. I loved the high-tech equipment. I tried the Toca Football machine that shoots soccer balls at you the same way a machine does with baseballs in a batting cage. A fun and different activity! It was definitely a workout. I was exhausted afterward!

Force Soccer Studios has been a home to our team of LGBTQ2IA+ soccer players since November 2019…read more They have generously hosted our group, making special accommodations as needed and with a great deal of respect. We love that when we come to Force, the space feels 100% like OUR SPACE for the duration of our rental. This is especially important to our group because we have faced significant issues (such as resistance to accommodation, spotty communication) from other athletic organizations. Force has been quite the opposite - Danny has gone so far as to connect us with other local businesses, allowed us to host our first ever tournament fundraiser, and introduce us to relevant press outlets. There are so few indoor soccer spaces in New York, and we feel quite blessed to have had Force to call a home for our first indoor season in South Brooklyn.

Great option for No School days. My son came home from his first camp with two robots, and a new…read morepassion for building and making things. He loves school, but has been asking me when it's closed again so that he can go back. I had little interaction due to COVID restrictions, but emails were clear and check-in / out was organized. Public health precautions met my expectations (temperatures, masks, hand washing, etc.) The new space is a little further away, but seems much bigger and looked very fun. My son reports the instructors are nice and he loved the activities and the playground time.

I took my sixth grade students to the Brooklyn Robot Foundry for a class trip. This place is…read moreAMAZING!!!! First, the staff is so kind and welcoming, and they're great with the students!!! The students were very engaged and learned a lot. This was definitely a memorable and educational trip--the kids got to decorate and keep their robots while learning about circuits and building! The staff also really engaged and helped the students navigate to. The space is also nice--big and welcoming, but not too big so you will not get lost. I would definitely go back again!!! If you want a class trip the students will love and never forget, this is the place!!!! Thank you Brooklyn Robot Foundry--I cannot say enough nice things!!!! This is fantastic!!!!

LLS was our choice after touring about 15 preschools, and we do not regret it for one second. The…read moreapproach at just about everything at this preschool is with great care and thought for the children and intentionality. You can see it in the beautiful design of the space, but also in how the teachers approach anything that comes up with the children, be it potty training or even lunch time -- all the kids in my child's petite classroom read a poem together (all in French) thanking the world for the food they are eating before lunch and learn to take lunches out and put them back on their own. LLS encourages sustainability and teaches children about the beauty of our planet by maintaining a hybrid outdoor program, and encouraging whole fruits vs snacks in plastics. The children work with non plastic toys, they draw abstract art do as to not limit their young imaginations and go to school in a rhythm of songs and structure. We love LLS and highly encourage it for any parent, whether you're looking for French immersion or not!

We absolutely LOVE LLS and are so glad we found it for our children. I toured every daycare and…read moreearly education center in the area, and the warmth and care at LLS just hit different. I am admittedly a very nervous still fairly new mom, and can say with confidence that I know my child is safe and being well taken care of there. Since starting in the fall, his vocabulary has sky rocketed (in both English and French), hes potty training, and is generally much more social and happy. We are fans!

I spent last weekend looking for the perfect skateboard and had a list of skateboard shops to…read morevisit. My first stop was Homage and was surprised to find the design I was looking for. To be honest, I did not have a design in mind- but knew that color-wise I wanted it to be simple, and not boring. Yes- I am very picky and weird. They showed me a primitive / p rodriguez in pastel pink embossed eagle and instantly I was in love. I was a bit hesitated at first because pink isn't what I would normally go for. The staffs (or owner?) were SO nice and informative listening to my needs and selected the best set up for me. Given that this was my first skate shop of the day, I told them that I was still looking around and they were really nice about it. They understood. After going to KCDC and Skate Brooklyn (also went to Labor, Supreme, and SHUT the previous weekend), I was set buying from Homage. I called the shop to let them know about my interest, and by the time I got there they had everything all set out. It took them 15 minutes to set up my board with trucks, wheels and tape- and then I was out the door! They were also teaching a little boy how to skate board at the time, and with the parents there they were really nice, honest, and up front about their son's lessons. I appreciate their honesty with the parents and would actually consider taking classes from them. If I do sign up, I hopeI'm not the only twenty something year old student. Thanks Homage!

This is more than just a skateboarding school (though it's amazing at that). The teachers--and…read moreHunter, in particular--are amazing at encouraging children to take on challenges, face their fears, and celebrate their triumphs. My eight-year-old is a cautious, nervous boy and I am so moved and overjoyed by the way Hunter (and other teachers, they're all great) has patiently, gently, kindly dealt with his tears when he was afraid, felt glee when he braved a scary move, like riding on a ramp. Hunter, of course, keeps him safe, physically, but also has an amazing way of pushing him to do more than he thought possible. Yes, my boy is learning to skateboard. But he's also learning so much more.
