We recently hosted a birthday party here for my 3 year old son and had a really great experience…read more The facility is very clean, well-organized, and set up perfectly for young kids. Leila did a wonderful job leading the activities and keeping a group of 16 children engaged with age-appropriate options. Even the younger kids who wanted to participate were included, and everything ran smoothly despite the excitement that comes with a room full of toddlers. One thing I especially appreciated was how easy the experience felt as a parent. The party room was fully cleaned afterward, and our belongings were neatly organized, which allowed me to actually enjoy the party rather than stress about logistics. We also come regularly for Open Play, and it's always a great experience. The space is consistently safe, clean, and well-run, which is why we keep coming back. Highly recommend for both parties and everyday play.

I signed up my 5 YO for a winter break week-long half-day art camp. This was our first time trying…read morea holiday camp, or any type of camp for that matter. What enticed me was the options: full day all week (minus Christmas Day), half day all week (minus Christmas Day), full day singles days, and half day single days. I also really appreciated the diverse artists that they were studying about, and the mostly, new (to me) art projects that they were doing. Most of the projects seem to have general guidelines but each person's art was unique to them (i.e. not cookie cutter, I do-You do, etc.) While my son originally didn't want to attend and was content going to his regular afterschool care, at pick up after his first day, he said, "I had a GREAT time at art today!" On day 2, on the way to art camp for drop-off said, "I LOVE art camp!" He has been excited to go to camp everyday so far so I am excited to check out future offerings!

My 6-yr-old has been taking art classes here for a few months and absolutely loves it! Courtney is…read morea wonderful teacher with a strong background in art and design in tech. She keeps the kids engaged, thinking, and having fun. We plan on taking the Junior Picassos next, which has more of a STEM focus on design thinking.

This was one of those parties where everything just worked. The kids loved it, Zachary (the…read moremoderator) kept the excitement going, and the overall energy was fantastic. Bot Bash Party exceeded all of our expectations. Planning birthday parties can be tough, especially when you want to give your child and their friends a unique and engaging experience. Bot Bash Party was an absolute hit from start to finish! The kids were hooked the entire time, from a group battle free for all, followed by a structured tournament and then a second free for all. You could tell a lot of thought went into the flow so that all of the kids could get a feel for the different bots before trying their hand at actual battling and then ending the experience with an opportunity for everyone to participate once more. Zachary, the moderator, was outstanding. He used humor to keep the kids engaged and maintained a high energy tone that kept things moving at a great pace. Even when the kids got rowdy (as expected of 9 year old boys), he kept everything under control while still making it fun. Since this is a competitive and destructive activity, I especially appreciated that he set a positive tone early on by emphasizing good sportsmanship. We're fortunate to have a professional bot battler of his caliber sharing his passion for this sport with kids. I highly recommend Bot Bash Party if you're looking for something unique, high-energy, and well-run. I'd definitely book again and recommend it to anyone looking for something fun and different!

There was a wonderful selection of paintings from which to choose. The artist, Ramona, came promptly and set up. She did a fabulous job demonstrating and teaching the 11 year olds how to paint the picture my daughter had chosen. She was very patient and friendly. Would definitely recommend Ramona and Paint the Town for a kids' birthday or any other event!

Thank's Mr.George!

I signed James up for Epworth when he was about 18 months old,. He's almost 2 1/2 now so we are…read moremoving on to preschool. It seems now I am finally able to write a long overdue review. As a stay-at-home-mom I was starting to go a bit stir-crazy being in the house and the local park each day, I felt like our week needed some structure and I found Epworth through BPN emails. We were invited to visit a session to check it out and that day I felt like we how found just what I was looking for! The playgroup meets in a room in a church that is set up as a playroom (there is no religious instruction or influence on the playgroup in case you might be wondering.) There is a climbing structure and a castle and lots of toys (especially trucks.) It is also set up with art projects, paints and drawing. The room is large, but very contained and safe, so my son could play and I could keep an eye on him without worrying he'd get hurt or get into something he shouldn't. Families take turns bringing a small snack, but everything else is provided. We both got a lot out of time there. For James it gave him an opportunity to practice sharing and turns, along with seeing the same children each week. For me, it gave me some structure to the week, and the opportunity to meet a lot of great moms (and some dads) who's children were the same age as my own. We could share a cup of coffee and talk about what stage/challenge/fun things our children were doing while they enjoyed playing. I've met some great families there that I intend to keep in touch with. We really enjoyed our time there and I am so grateful I checked it out!

I just moved to the E.Bay and was in search of a playgroup. I found Epworth Playgroups thru a…read moresearch on Yelp. I immediately contacted the group organizer and I was off to my first play group the following Monday. I ended up taking my 10 month old nephew that day. The playroom was full of fun toys and games to keep the children busy. The moms that I met were super nice and I soon knew that I wanted to go on a regular basis. Unfortunately, my nephew wanted an earlier nap that day and we didn't stay much time. I am looking forward to going the following Monday with my son and nephew!

This was her first production outside of middle school, and she absolutely loved everything about the experience -- the directors, the supportive and welcoming environment, the incredible energy of ICDT!, and the kindness of the other students and families. We had explored other production programs before, but none felt as organized, communicative, or thoughtfully run as ICDT!. On top of that, ICDT! was incredibly generous in providing our family with a tuition scholarship, which allowed my daughter to have this truly memorable experience.
