No one's standing by the entrance, so anyone can walk onto the property and snag a child. My son went there for a while, and since he needed so much one-on-one attention, they kicked him out. So if you have a child that may have special needs or requires a lot of attention, I would recommend a different place for how much they charge. They should have had more staff on site.

My two daughters, now aged 11 and 9, have been participating in Girl Circus camp for the last 4…read moresummers. They love it every year! They make new friends and learn skills; but more importantly they emerge each day of camp with a renewed sense of power and accomplishment. Darcy DuRuz is the founder and lead instructor at Girl Circus, and she has an incredible ability to unlock that sense of accomplishment in even the most skilled or jaded kids. My eldest has been doing gymnastics for 6 years, so I expected her to coast through Girl Circus camp last summer; but Darcy had her working hard and pushing past plateaus to discover new abilities, not just in circus arts but in leadership and mentoring. When we attended their end-of-camp skills demonstration, I could see the pride in my daughter's eyes as she watched the younger girls demonstrate the skills she'd helped them learn. Highly recommended!

I also spoke with trackers management to constructively work this out on the second day and they did not follow through with any of the changes they said they would make. Trackers is great for day care and complimenting homeschool and Montessori education. The skill based classes are weak I would love a refund.

I think I've found my happy place! I attended my first Northwest Children's Theater production…read moretoday, and I loved everything about the experience. The bright and cheery environment, the excellent customer service, and the outstanding production left me feeling elated for hours after leaving the theater. I watched a brilliant jazz musical version of Alice in Wonderland today. What stood out to me most is the production didn't begin and end with a traditional raised and lowered curtain. Patrons experience the magic of theater from the moment they step foot in the building. Actors hand out stickers and welcome folks into the building. There are costumed characters in the lobby, and today, the Mad Hatter did crowd work in the audience for a full 15-20 minutes before the production began. By the time he walked up to the stage, the audience consisting of adults and children alike, were smiling and laughing and fully swept up into a joyous experience. I don't remember the last time I was this happy. The production was everything I'd hoped it would be. The costumes and set design well first-rate, the live music was exceptional, and the performers sold me on the fact that I, too, had found myself in Wonderland. It was truly heartwarming to see the actors mingling with the crowd in the lobby after the performance. To be six years old again, and have a chance to meet the Mad Hatter or Alice in person? It's just too precious! Northwest Children's Theater... I am a fan!

As a student, I am thrilled to recommend this school and its staff. I have trained at several…read moreschools over the years and this one stands out for several reasons: 1. It is very welcoming and supportive; the community is strong and friendly. Some schools are very businesslike, or don't encourage students to be friends outside of class; this one is the opposite! 2. The style is very eclectic. You will learn to punch and kick, but you'll also learn to use weapons and to move in several different distinct ways. This style of martial arts has a lot to learn and challenges my mind and body every class. 3. Speaking of challenge, this class is a full body workout. I never step off the mat without getting really sweaty. The teachers make time to encourage you to drink water frequently during class. 4. This school and community are extremely inclusive. There are at least any many women and trans students as men; frequently men are in a drastic minority. There is no "bro"/macho culture here as there is in many other schools. While it is somewhat expensive for the number of classes (2-3/week at least as a beginning adult student) you get access to compared to some other schools, the pricing is not a secret (it is shown on the website and the staff will be happy to talk with you about it), I feel it is worthwhile based on about 10 years of training in other schools (even ones that cost less and had 10 classes a week).
