The first one was awful, they had zero patience with little kids and my son was very young. The second was OK, not bad but not amazing, also incredibly rigid and my son just couldn't get into it. Lockhart's (Dan and his daughter) strike a great balance between teaching them proper technique, form and discipline but also making it very fun and engaging. Most days my kid is coming home and continuing to practice what he's learning. Also, my son isn't little anymore but the amount of patience they have with the small kids is absolutely mind-blowing, I wish I would've found this place sooner and skipped a lot of frustration. Definitely recommend!

I had so much struggle to find a good team activity that my boy is interested than playing games…read more Till one of his classmates who are highly engaged at Robotics even went to the world championship. I was surprised and asked what's that. So they introduced me to Rolling Robot. My boy becomes so motivated not only robotics but also school. He started to care about his grade because he is in the good environment that all kids are positive and think it's important to have a good grade. The director Bing is a truly educator that cares about kids. I cannot say how much I appreciate Rolling Robot. This weekend, my boy and his team are going to state competition after only 7 months of learning. So happy they get a chance to see other 198 teams and get the chance to learn more. Thank you!!!

Review for Culinary Kids Valentine's Day event at Whole Foods in Tustin only…read more.. (http://www.culinarykids.biz/whole-foods.html) My daughter wanted to take this class, because it sounded like a fun way to kill a couple of hours. Booking was easy through Eventbrite online. On the menu for the class was tomato soup, hummus, and trifle for dessert. It was a drop-off event, so I checked her in (which was a little slow, because everyone had to sign a waiver, yet they only had one pen for everyone to share), and off I went. I picked her up a couple hours later, and asked her how it went. She basically shrugged her shoulders and said it was "fine." I asked her how the food was, and I got another short answer, "okay." But then... she got all riled up when she said she didn't get to eat her own food. She said everyone made their dishes, and then when they got divvied up, the instructors gave every kid a random one, not their own. My daughter was super annoyed that she had worked so hard to make her trifle look pretty, and she didn't even get to enjoy it. Now, having watched my kids take many cooking classes through the city rec program and private cooking schools, plus birthday parties, I know that typically they label everyone's food so they get their own back! Kids love to take pride in their own creations! I thought that was very strange. Perhaps they were unprepared for this event in the seating area of a supermarket, but I definitely won't be signing up for one of these again.

The only thing may be that the other kids were more daring and advanced so they cycled through everything quickly while my kid took a long time working up the courage and solving problems on certain walls. Some kids seemed impatient for her to get off so they could go. But that's not the fault of this place, really. Could also have been a one-off experience. We look forward to coming back here

I would totally recommend it and my instructor was very helpful. Sender one is huge!! I definitely want to come back again!

Seashore Academy has been one of the best decisions we've made for our daughter. Before joining, we…read morewere worried about her struggling academically--but her love of learning is back, and when she puts her heart into it, she's actually ahead of grade level. She comes home excited to tell me what she's learned, and that feeling is priceless. Core classes are offered Tuesday through Thursday, with flexible options on Mondays and Fridays, so you can design a schedule that really works for your family. Each subject is taught by a different teacher, which keeps things fresh and lets kids experience a range of teaching styles. The curriculum is thoughtfully chosen--Singapore Math is used (which I love), and they also offer incredible programs like Toastmasters, entrepreneurship, and applied math. Sasha just participated in their Entrepreneurship Fair, and it was amazing to see her learning real-world skills with confidence. The school is screen-free and sugar-free, which aligns beautifully with our values. They've partnered with Choice Lunch, so I don't have to worry about packing lunch every day--Sasha gets to choose healthy meals and snacks through an app, and it's one less thing on my plate. Most of the learning takes place outdoors, which means she's soaking up sunshine and getting her wiggles out while learning. What I love most is how much the teachers genuinely care. Ken, the head of the school is on top of everything! He connects well with both kids and teachers. The love and care they put into this school is real. The founder, Marlene, has poured her heart and soul into creating something truly special. Even though the location changed, we happily followed locations--because the community, the values, and the experience are unlike anything else. They've even partnered with Best Academy Charter to offer credentialed oversight, math testing, and academic tracking at a much more affordable rate than most private schools. There's no fluff--it's just a place built on love, respect, kindness, and inclusivity. I'm beyond grateful that we found a school that fits our family so well. I'm even considering it for my older daughter, and honestly, I wish they would expand through high school. That's how much I trust and love what they're building.

My kid just completed a summer camp run by Brainstorm last week ( Young Einstein - Lego…read moreengineering). It was a bad investment and definitely will not consider them for future activities. The activity lacked direction and outline. As a parent I had no idea what my kid was working or learning. It felt like a supervised lego play time more than a STEM-based activity and definitely I didn't want that. When I asked the supervisor there for pictures she said it is against the law, but wouldn't any parent want to know what their kids are working on? What an excuse.

It was nonstop fun, and he loved connecting with old friends and making new ones. The counselors were incredible, so patient, positive and full of energy. A huge thank you to Jim (AKA Cardinal), the coach for the Bears group this past week! He made the week unforgettable, and my son won't stop talking about how much fun he had and how awesome his coach was. You can also buy food from them (catered daily from nearby restaurants) which is a huge bonus for kids like mine who aren't into cold sandwiches. We just finished 8 weeks back to back of incredible summer camps, and this was definitely a top contender for my kid. We will be back, and I 100% recommend Camp James.

The instructors are all experienced in their respective areas and you can even see their photos and bios on the main wall when you enter the studio. They are always available at the end of class to go over what was covered in class and to answer any questions from parents as well.
