And their sports programs rock! If you're looking to start your kid out in a league where they don't trash talk, they develop your child self-respect, skills, and build them into good moral characters for sports. This is the place for your kids. The leagues are not highly competitive. The coaches don't jar at each other like they're trying to win a championship. But they are still competitive. Of course, I am a little biased because I have coached the basketball teams between the ages of five and 10. The thing I love about the nine-year-old and 10-year-old division for basketball is a play at a local church. That's a much bigger gym, if you have homeschool kids like me, they get a good feel for what it's like to play if they were to go to high school. My kids have played flag football there and basketball there and really enjoyed just the camaraderie and getting out and getting some exercise. Some of the sports directors and helpers are the best in the city

Now, my daughter is 4 and we are back twice a week! Obviously she did not retain anything, but we definitely did not have to start in that baby class again. The classes are kept small, the teachers are interactive and fun, and their program is fast paced. You're paying for lessons, not fun time - so I was glad to see that they pay close attention to the kids' progress so they can keep advancing them through the program to avoid dull, repetitive lessons. I get reports by email that tell me what she has accomplished. They do a great job of rewarding progress. I hope to send my son (now 2) as soon as he is out of his temper tantrum stage!

From the very first class Jerelene earned his trust and less than 3 classes later he will jump in the pool unassisted and try to swim, float, swim under water it's unbelievable! His parents are amazed and cannot believe his happiness and confidence to swim! I have no doubt he will be a strong swimmer and a few more lessons. If you are looking for a professional, safe trusting environment for your little one to learn to swim, I promise Emler Swim School is the only choice! I know Jerelene cannot take on everyone's child, but I highly highly recommend you schedule your swimming lessons with her she is truly amazing and a blessing from God!

Our daughter started the free class and we ended up signing her up because she really enjoyed the lessons. The party portion of Emlers was amazing! The price is very affordable for 2 hours of the entire facility. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We will do another party there. The swimming lessons have been such a great for our daughter and watching her enjoy it has been enjoyable for us. The facility does get crowded on some days but doesn't bother us. She has really learned quickly and her instructors have been nothing short of amazing!

Personally I didn't want to do that but I wanted to finish out the week because my coach was quitting. Then he says that we can have the whole week free.

Also so many coaches quit over all the years I was there which really did not create a healthy environment for me and the other athletes.

Lucy as an instructor gets a millionnn stars! She is so amazing with my boy and the other children…read more Her energy & enthusiasm is great. My baby is 15 months old and a 'Minnow'.He was a little timid of the water at first but the songs they sing and the predictable routines makes completing each lesson a breeze. I'm so glad I decided to bring him here to start his swim journey. This is the first time I was able to see him in action swimming & I sat in the little viewing area.I can't speak to the other instructors but if you are thinking about getting your little one started I would definitely recommend getting your lessons started with Lucy! This is my baby's 5th class, he only goes once a week, and he's already fully submerged in the water & learning to kick underwater on his own.

My son would come home absolutely starving and thirsty.

I went to the leadership and they would just feed me the party line. Things would change for a day or two and then things would be back to the same.

The fees are a bit high but for the summer months l think it's worth it. I feel safe there. Usually I see a police car keeping an eye on the parking lot. Nice Music is playing throughout the day. The pool is near a nice park that you can take nice walks in. It's also near a dog park. I have really been enjoying my Summer as a member of the heights pool.

No meats were served and every now and then a very very thin slice of fruit was added. Some of the caregivers did not sanitize like they should. Also, a lot of the workers do not know CPR or first aid. The director has to be nice to keep parents happy, Shannon is not a strong believer in making sure caregivers are qualified , clean, educated in CPR or first aid. They do not have an emergency regiment in place. I was told to take the classes on line and just let the videos continue even if I was cooking or cleaning. " JUST click on next or continue so we can complete the course. I noticed that all the director cared about was making money for the daycare. As always, they will say that I am a disgruntled ex employee. Please talk to your children and watch the cameras regularly. Baby's in cribs cry a lot. Kids that are not at their age level are talked bad about. Some caregivers do not know what it is like to have children of their own, so therefore do not the sympathy or care about what a child is experiencing. Not all caregivers are good or bad, so it is the parents responsibility to survey their children. Yes, most of the complaints against the daycare were true.
