My niece (6 last summer) attended this camp last summer for a week, and didn't like it. Her…read moreparents hoped she would like it because it was very reasonably priced for Milpitas residents ($150 for 5 full days, can't beat that). Don't want to be unfair to this place since our experience was only for 1 week. And I'm comparing it to other camps that were more expensive. In the other camps, my niece got to know one or two counselors really quickly and bondedwith them and would talk nonstop about them. In this camp, it was babysitting, not a 'camp' feeling and the employees sort of hung out watching the kids but not participating or engaging the kids. They did not appear to have the maturity or job training that I've seen at other camps. On the good side, they played a lot of games outdoors and it included swimming at the Community Center. And, the price is right. I guess it's still a much needed inexpensive babysitting option for working parents.

This review is for the Spring Break day camp, which I figure is similar to the summer day camp, as…read morethey are held in the same location. The price seemed pretty good, at $180 for 5 days. The regrettable thing is that it seems they don't have the kids play any sports (aside from perhaps dodgeball), which seems ironic as it was held at a Sports Center. Most activities seem to be indoor, and it feels like it was mostly operated like a daycare center, with numerous free play periods, interspersed with occasional art activities. It should also be noted that the majority of participants were girls, and the activities probably reflected this. This was definitely not a great fit for my boy.

Our experience with Merryhill, has been Outstanding. After a year of kindergarten, at a different…read morehighly marketed private school, where my daughter was told she cannot keep up with the curriculum, she hated school and would often cry before being dropped off in the morning. The summer following Kindergarten, she was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. On the recommendation from a coworker, we toured the Merryhill school. From the outset, we were impressed. The curriculum was on par with the other school, and the diversity of the experience was clearly wide ranging. Once the school year started it became even more clear that the principal was highly engaged with all the students, and that between her and the teachers, they would bend over backwards to assure that the accommodations necessary for my daughter were in place. Unlike my daughter's former school, we were able to work with her teachers to assure that through her school work and tests, she could demonstrate what she had learned, instead of putting her into a cookie-cutter educational system that tests in only one way and does not accommodate for her needs. As she has entered the third grade, we could not be more thrilled with the Merryhill experience and the staff at the school. My daughter has gone from hating school to not being able to get enough. Her grades continue to maintain at the highest level and she scored above her grade level in standardized testing. Her confidence in both her academics and her social interactions continues to grow. I sincerely believe this is in big part due to the efforts of the Merryhill staff. While every school and every environment is not for every student, parents should be doing their due diligence in assessing the most appropriate direction for their child. We are incredibly fortunate to have found Merryhill at a time during which we had numerous questions. A great big thank you to Merryhill Elementary School.

I wouldn't be surprised if Yelp takes this review down (FOR A 2nd TIME) but that would be…read moreincredibly disappointing, considering this platform is meant for people to share all experiences, not just the positive ones. The administration at this school is fully aware of how poorly they've treated their staff. Instead of addressing the issues, they seem more focused on hiding the truth. For this matter my daughter will not enroll in this school. The front staff are so rude! They need to be trained on proper customer service. And the principal is rude as well. They all need better training! But what's done in the dark always finds its way to the light. To any parents considering this school please think twice. For the sake of your children and the educators who deserve better.

This review is for the birthday package they offer which I paid $750…read more We arrived on the actual day we booked and I got there half an hour prior to the event. The entire studio was dark and I had a bad feeling. Luckily, the door wasn't locked (yet) and I walked in looking for someone for guidance. I then saw a trainer leaving so I yelled across the studio asking if I could start setting up. He looked confused at first, then realized NO ONE informed him or anyone about a party. He mentioned it's not the first time it happened, and something with someone not sending an email. So someone just seriously messed up and forgot about a party. Just WOW. I even asked it weekly prior when I was there to ensure they had everything needed. Every single time they confirmed my booking was there and it was all set. Then the day came and nothing was set up. Had I came a little later and he left, we would have been stranded with no party. However, he saved the day by calling his team and then helped get the activity set up. We started maybe only 15 min later than anticipated because he quickly got everything together and more trainers showed up eventually. Honestly, a venue forgetting an event you book is literally the worst nightmare. I will never book this place again and if you do, call the day of because you just can't be too careful someone forget to do their job. Three star because the trainer saved the day and kids ended up having fun but not worth the full on panic attack.

The party started off with a 1 hour play time followed by 1-1.5 hours of food and games in their upstairs loft. The space is primarily set-up for their regular gymnastics classes, so there's plenty of room for the kids to run around, lots of places for them to jump and fall softly on floor pads. It's a nice, clean facility that I'd highly recommend for kids' birthday parties!

I am impressed by how organized everything is, the variety of activities, and the huge, fun bouncy house. The kids seem to have a wonderful time, and my son made friends very easily. I also really appreciate Russ, the owner, taking the time to send photos at the end of camp--it is such a lovely extra touch. Thank you to everyone for your hard work and for taking care of our son. We will definitely be back in the future!

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.
