There was free time for the kids to look at all the exhibits, the charismatic host brought out a lizard, an armadillo, a boa, and a cayman to teach us about and let the kids touch. There was time for pizza and a dinosaur egg hunt. Everything was clean and they did a great job sanitizing between animals and doing hand washes before food.

I recommend Smart Fit Kids Academy. Our daughter started there in May and was part of the…read moreessential worker day care program. Each morning we would drop her and her school materials off and when we picked her up she was happy, tired from playing and had all schoolwork completed and submitted. Our kiddo goes to a private school so Bixia and her staff had to facilitate this on a completely different platform than what was used in the county schools. If there was a question, concern or missing worksheet, we got an immediate phone call. She loved doing taekwando in the afternoon. She has spent a good part of the summer there as well rotating between STEM and Adventure camp. They have provided a quality experience that is engaging and has included Covid friendly field trips.

Our two boys had a bad experience with this camp. One of our sons participated in the one focused…read moreon nutrition and cooking. He got very sick, and was one of three kids who were sent home in one day. We took him to the ER after learning he passed out at camp and after multiple calls with counselors and the owner, we still had no idea what happened to him. His symptoms were that of heat exhaustion or a concussion but the counselors' recalls of what happen were misaligned. In addition, from our son we learned that they had limited outdoor time and when he came home each day before his incident he said "I need to get my energy out, we stayed inside most of the day". I also noticed that the camper to counselor ratio was not great and was skeptical about sending both boys the following week. The next week we decided to send both boys to keep our schedules intact (I realize we should not have sent them after week one's incident) and they complained about the camp each day, saying they were stuck inside all day and they didn't do many activities. They also said the facilities were cramped and "dirty". On Wednesday there was a "suspected" lice outbreak. We pulled them out of the camp on Wednesday and they didn't attend the final days. Finally, unbeknownst to the camp counselors, our son exchanged one of his crocs with a new friends. We communicated with the counselors and owner to exchange the shoes and they were unwilling to help. They actually never replied to multiple emails and didn't return our call. Should my son have done that? No, of course not and I should have noticed before we headed home that Wednesday. But the lack of communication when we sought help, and the lack of oversight from their hired staff gives indication that the camp isn't run well and is overprescribed. The name SmartFit Kids is a misleading name for a camp that neither focuses on development, health or safety.

And if you cancel it within two weeks before the camp starting date, you will get no refund! Read their demanding policy before you register! Yes, I signed it, but I did not read the policy and assumed this camp's policy was similar to other camps' policy in this area that there is no charge if a cancellation happens more than 40 days before the camp starting date. I write this review just to remind people PLEASE READ THE POLICY! There will be NO REFUND for CANCELLATIONS AFTER JUNE 1. They only refund their camp credits to you so you can not get your money back!

Club Scientific Chesapeake offers all kinds of programs, but the one I'm reviewing is the one my…read moreson attended, which is for the Summer Camp of Camp Jurassic for ages 4-5 years old. I knew it was the perfect camp for my son since Camp Jurassic deals with dinosaurs and gemstones, both of which my son loves. The camp staff seem to be very caring of the children and offer plenty of fun activities. My son was excited every day to go to camp (and it was his first time ever going to camp) and after each day he always brought home a variety of projects that they had worked on during the day which varies from an erupting volcano, to an edible volcano, to a dinosaur model, to magnetic gemstones, rock candy, and so much more! My son was thrilled to go on a dinosaur dig where he "discovered" dinosaur bones that they put together. I'm thrilled to discover a camp that challenges my son both mentally (since they do scientific experiments and learning projects) as well as physically when they go outside to play. I've never seen my son so excited about attending anything before and he comes home every day with stories of all the fun he had during the day and all the new things he's learned. I highly recommend this company if you're looking for some place for your child to have a lot of fun as well as learn a lot in the process, since my son can't seem to stop raving about how great of an experience he's had with them!

Ms. Kiara displays unprofessional behavior. She allows personal relationships to interfere with her professional responsibilities, creating conflicts that negatively impact the daycare environment and, ultimately, the children. Her involvement of personal relationships with male parents at the workplace is inappropriate, and her communication with parents is disrespectful and lacking professionalism. Do not send your kids here Additionally, Ms. Carrie as well in particular, spoke to me in a very disrespectful and inappropriate manner regarding my child. Her tone was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional, very aggressive which is unacceptable when addressing a parent's concerns and down talking children; racism has occurred at this daycare as well. Parents should feel safe, informed, and respected when entrusting others with their children. Unfortunately, that was not my experience at this daycare. Stay away and stay aware. It's surprising because it's a very good location in Crofton it's the staff that is unprofessional and my child felt as though they were treating others better than my child, unfair and poorly.

They people in the baby rooms loved each kid and the babies were not an afterthough. They helped babies reach milestones and did amazing work with my kid. Each baby was loved there. However, they cared only about money and over-filled the classes to the point where my son was held back in classes he was too old for because they had filled his spot in the class he should be in with a new student. They told me my son was violent and an issue. When I asked for the footage of an incident of my son being violent, they showed me a teach physically pick up and throw my child into the bathroom and scream at him to go. My son ended up on the floor of the bathroom curled up crying hysterically--that is what they said was my son being violent. One day, I brought him to his classroom and that same teacher dragged him out before he even had his coat off. I had not even left the building yet. She dragged him out for no reason. She was just shouting at him saying he was a bad kid and she doesn't want him in her room. she tossed him out into the middle of the school with no one watching him. I grabbed him and took him home. A week later, I went to pick him up. I went in and saw there was 1 person watching 14 kids. The classroom size was set to be 6 kids with 1 teacher. But it was 14 kids with one aid. No teacher. I reported them to the state. My son never went back there. I heard from parents that were in that class some horrific stories about what their children continued to endure while there and I am so glad I pulled him.
