Ms. Yaoyao keeps the students highly energized and lets them be silly, making learning incredibly fun. She covered all the piano basics so quickly that within just three months, my daughter was already playing complex notes for a beginner. I highly recommend the Berryessa Music School , it's Value for time and money !!! I'm satisfied with selection of this school for beginners.

We have had an amazing experience with Berryessa Music School! Our 7-year-old son started taking…read moregroup piano lessons with Ms. Yaoyao about a year and a half ago, and we couldn't be happier. Ms. Yaoyao has a wonderful way of keeping young learners engaged. My kid has so much fun with the active singing, scales, and song-playing activities she integrates into the class. Getting a young child to practice consistently can be a struggle, but Ms. Yaoyao's constant encouragement and patience have made all the difference. Thanks to her, he has made incredible progress over the past 18 months! Beyond the fantastic teaching, the studio itself is top-notch. They offer classes for a variety of instruments in both 1:1 and group settings to fit different learning styles. A huge highlight for us is that they host recitals and concerts in professional auditoriums at least twice a year, which gives the kids a wonderful opportunity to build confidence and showcase their hard work. I highly recommend Ms. Yaoyao and her team at Berryessa Music School. If your child is ready to begin their music journey, definitely reach out to them!

They also mention that they very much enjoy the class and would love to sign up for another session in the future with coach Jason. I also had the opportunity to talk to coach Jason on drop off / pick up time and can see that he is very passionate and knowledgable about chess and was able to answer all my chess questions and even give me a run down and how to take advantage from ChessKid beyond the chess camp sessions that I signed up for. Exactly just what I need for my kids, someone who is passionate about chess and care about their learning journey process along the way. 10/10

GrowFit seems to have a strong formula for highly active kids, and I can see why it is popular…read more However, my personal experience was disappointing due to concerns around supervision, overstimulation, and staff warmth. My son generally does best in more structured environments. This camp felt very busy, chaotic, and highly stimulating for him however he seemed to enjoy the activities very much. With a large group of children, I personally expect very active and engaged supervision, especially during free play. That part made me nervous as I saw on drop off no supervision while boys were playing soccer in my childs group. Ultimately, I made a decision to cut the camp short and move him to a another camp that blends sports and arts and had better student teacher ratios and just more a more personable manager in charge. Although GrowFit does not offer refunds, I still felt more comfortable choosing a calmer, environment. He is doing much better there, and I have less anxiety on saftey.

It sounds like a lot but when I'm given the security of his safety and knowing throughout the day he is enjoying himself, that $ is well worth it. I was nervous having never even visited the place and only going off of another parents recommendation but the staff gave me direct communication as I continuously checked in (shout out to LuLu) and she provided me the comfort of knowing he's having fun and he told me he wasn't ready to come home until the last min of his day. He is excited to go again. He talked about the fun he had that days for several days after. I would def recommend trying it out even if it's just for one time. I'm sure your kid will talk you into coming again.

She says being up in the air makes her feel like a superhero. As a parent, I couldn't be happier. Cheryl, the owner, is like the ringmaster of kindness -- she and the staff are so loving and supportive. They treat every kid like family. You can tell they really care. It's confidence-building, creative, and just magical. We'll be back every year as long as she can go. Thank you, Cirque San Jose, for giving my daughter a place to shine!

My eldest had been attending after school program at Smart Learning Academy for nearly 3 years now,…read moreand my youngest for this past school year. I couldn't be any happier with the care and attention they receive. Ms. Serene is an AMAZING and thoughtful director and teacher. She genuinely cares for each and every child. And she is always so POSITIVE! She has the best attitude towards everything. I just love and appreciate her so much. Ms. Serene knows how much I like to push my eldest to do more academic work, and she always challenges him in a way he easily accepts. She is loving to my children and I can see what a great relationship she has built, especially with my youngest child. Ms. Serene always takes the time speak with me if I ever have any questions or concerns and her comments are well thought out and considerate. Her class room decor changes seasonally and you can see how much care and attention she puts into making her classroom a fun environment for the students. She has equal parts fun and educational! I highly recommend SLA to any parent looking for an after school program or summer camp!

The classes are 50 minutes, and open gym is a good time for kids to really practice skills taught during class, and try out new obstacle courses. However, when a new skill is introduced, time is not spent teaching kids how to properly execute it. The expectation is for kids to do it with one demonstration from the instructor. Then, if a kid can't do said skill and complete the course laid out under a set time, or properly, they loose their turn, are told to go to the back of the line, and they miss out on how to properly do what's being asked of them. Classes are about 50 minutes, but kids spend about a total of maybe 10 minutes trying apply what they are being taught due to large class sizes. Each kid takes a turn going through an obstacle course. The first 15 are spent doing warmups. It's a great concept but I don't think it's worth the cost. The classes can get very large at times and out of the instructors control. The class structure is not meant for kids that have a hard time waiting and have a need to move. They are punished not disciplined (taught), and those kids end up missing out on class time. Kids are better off learning climbing skills, social order and strength training at the park. But one take away from attending this program is to remind kids not to use their tibia or knee when climbing, but to bring their whole foot up. Which also helps with flexibility. This place is structured for preteens and up.
