A Summer to Remember-5 Stars!…read more My child had the time of their life at the EYS summer camp! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The counselors were friendly and attentive, creating a safe and fun environment for all of the kids. The variety of activities kept them engaged and excited every day. We will definitely be coming back next year! Highly recommend!!!!!!

My experience with EMA for the last year and a half was amazing when it was under the leadership of…read moreCoach Shaun. Shaun is a true professional and expert in his field; he was amazing with the children and parents and he's been genuine and invested in every child he's encountered for the last 6 years at EMA. He was also a true leader with the assistant coaches, providing direction and lesson plans that they would carry out under his guidance. My boyfriend and I even started attending the newly launched adult classes under his tutelage and we had a lot of fun while training hard and gaining experience in a variety of striking and grappling techniques. Then things started getting dodgy on the EYS Billing end. First, the rate we were promised for the Adult Martial Arts class was not what we were charged and we had to dispute the transaction. Then EYS charged my boyfriend's account for a weapons seminar that he was informed was an "interest-only" sign-up. Then for the month of December EYS canceled 4 of the 16 Adult EMA classes and only discounted roughly $15 instead of $29 which would be the correctly prorated amount for the membership dues. Lastly we found out that the owner Jacalyn terminated EMA owner Coach Shaun. We are devastated. A business is only as good as it's leader. Coach Shaun was the best thing about EMA; as evidenced by all the prior testimonials. Only time will tell what happens to EMA and EYS. Sadly, it's the kids who will suffer in the absence of such a great man like Coach Shaun. Lastly, we recently received news that EYS is currently under investigation by the Department of Children and Families and this isn't the first time DCF has had to step in. We find all of the aforementioned instances intolerable. My boyfriend and I are no longer registered members in the EMA Adult class, nor are several of our colleagues after they found out about the owner's actions and treatment of Coach Shaun. I'm sure as word continues to spread, more people will be pulling out of EMA/EYS. My entire family is disappointed that EMA will forever be changed, and sadly we fear, not for the better.

We are incredibly grateful for Mrs. Brittany and Westchase Music School. Our daughter began her…read moreviolin journey with Mrs. Brittany in the summer before 6th grade and continued lessons all the way through her high school graduation. Mrs. Brittany's boundless patience and remarkable ability to inspire a genuine love for music truly transformed our daughter's shy beginnings into a confident, accomplished violinist. Westchase Music School is a fantastic institution that fosters musical growth in its students. It has been the perfect complement to her time in middle school and high school orchestra. The fact that our daughter is now going on to study music in college is in no small part due to the exceptional foundation she received at the school. We wholeheartedly recommend Westchase Music School for any aspiring musician. Their commitment to their students is truly unmatched.

This is our first foray into music lessons for our son, who is almost five. His teacher, Ms…read more Kelsey, is very sweet and patient with him. He takes piano once a week. He likes going to the lessons, which kind of surprised us. We weren't sure if he was ready to sit down and concentrate for 20 minutes. Especially when this is time to learn, not playtime. But so far, so good!

I purchased a Groupon deal for a few horseback riding lessons for my daughter on a whim last…read moreAugust. She was just 4 at the time but loved horses and the website for Avalon said lessons start at age 5. I figured I would purchase the deal and use it when she turned 5, boy was I glad I purchased this deal! My daughter turned 5 in the first few weeks of December. We had our first lesson at Avalon just before Christmas. Lonna was my daughter's riding instructor for her first horseback riding lesson. Fun and engaging, Lonna made my daughter feel comfortable on top of the giant horse Evan she was riding. I might mention, my daughter is terrified of heights and Evan is impressively tall. Before riding Evan, my daughter was given the opportunity to groom a different horse with another riding instructor. She was shown how to brush, curry, and comb out the horses coat. She was also shown how to pick up and pick out the horses feet to get them ready to ride. After her first lesson she was hooked on horses and we signed up for a monthly lesson program. The staff, the facilities and the riding instruction is top notch. The Stables are always clean and the grounds are beautiful. The riding staff is trained in beginner to advanced riding techniques. They are welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. We are happy to have found Avalon Stables for our daughter.

Security is top notch there. All the door have an alarm to it. I really liked the sterilization machine in the hallway. The kitchen where the food is prepared was large, clean and organized. Some of the menu items are a little more unhealthy than others but I noticed that's normal for daycares. This won't be the cheapest daycare you'll find but it seems like they take good care of the kids and facility.

Five stars for their birthday parties…read more We've attended a couple birthday parties here now and they're always a blast. The woman who leads it has always been the same (and I feel terrible for not knowing her name.) She is high energy, great with kids, and her super power is knowing every child's name. It's amazing! The kids are led through a ton of different gymnastics courses that pretty much any age can do. My son is four and loved it. It's interactive enough that they usually aren't just standing in line waiting but always moving. The room upstairs is then used for food and cake time. Then back downstairs for free play, which the children always love. Parents can keep their shoes on, which I appreciate. Kids are barefoot. They always take a group picture that they organize so the birthday party walks away with a wonderful picture.

This…read morewas my first time, and I was surprised at how crowded it was for the kids, yet it was very organized. I went upstairs to the sitting area for watching the kids below. It was very crowed up there, too. The class started on time, and for a small group of 2 years olds, they really got a workout. (and the parent too) The rule is, no one on the floor without a teacher and for the little ones, a parent also participates as an extra helper. There was a routine that the group went through, which included fun and challenging activities. They use a balance beam, a rock wall, a zip line into a foam pit, and a bunch of floor exercises. My grandson was very happy to be there, and I was really happy to have been able to come see him burn off lots of toddler energy. The parking area was quite crowded but there was enough parking and there was also a swim school attached to the gymnastics building. (He also does swim lessons, which he also loves.) The facility is not very modern but then, it has everything at reasonable prices.

For birthdays, it's pricy depending on the options you pick, but it's pretty worth it if you have to invite other kids. You get private time with just your group, which to me is the best part. I don't have to worry about random unsupervised kids running amok and the staff takes care of everything. For open play, you check their calendar online to make sure they have open time, pay $10 a kid, and hang out in the A/C for two hours while your kids get exercise. There's nice variety - a couple slides, a basketball house, a big round house, a "ninja warrior" style house with huge globes to jump across, and one where you climb as high as you can before you slide back down. Then there's a floor projector video game, a baseball area with a floating ball, and those huge blue block things you find sometimes at kid museums. Good stuff. I have never had an issue here with the staff. The only inconsistency is that they sometimes charge me for my 20 month old and sometimes they don't. ‍ My son's birthday party was scheduled the weekend of Hurricane Irma and they rescheduled us with no hassle or fees, and let us wait right until we knew if we had to. I like this place.
