This review is long overdue! We hosted my child's birthday party at The Wonder Workshop over the…read moresummer, and I cannot recommend them enough. Amanda and Rachel were incredible from start to finish. I was so worried planning my daughter's 2nd birthday, and they were unbelievably patient with me, answering every question, easing my stress, and reassuring me that everything would be perfect. And it truly was. They helped me pick a theme and made sure there were activities that appealed to both boys and girls, with age-appropriate options for kids ranging from 1 to 8. They were also so accommodating that they let me set up a small pseudo "tat-two" studio to celebrate her turning two, which was such a hit and made the day feel even more personal and fun. My daughter's birthday turned out absolutely magical. If you want a stress-free, thoughtful, kid-approved party experience, The Wonder Workshop is the perfect place.

I visited this studio to see if it would be a good fit for upcoming workshops. Overall, I wasn't…read moreimpressed with the atmosphere or the course offerings, which felt pretty standard and unoriginal.

Kids Fit Zone has been a nightmare to deal with when I had to cancel early. They have in their…read morecontract exorbitant fees listed for ending the contract early, and understood that and agreed to pay since we had a lay off in our family and needed to get out of the contract. But then they very shadily tried multiple times to get more money out of us. They tried to overcharge, and then we got that fixed. Then they tried to tell me that they would continue charging me tuition if I didn't pay some fees by an arbitrary date that they made up, which was a date prior to the due date listed in the invoice. They have shady business practices, they are not community oriented, and they don't belong in Brentwood. I would never recommend them to anyone I know, and I would never send my kids there again. They have effectively cut ties with me. On top of that, my 2 kids were ecstatic that they didn't have to attend anymore. They kept asking me if they had to go back, and I was finally able to say they didn't ever have to go again.

I can not thank L4L enough for all they have done for my daughter and I cannot wait for my son to attend. I guarantee that you will not find a better school. My daughter started at L4L at the age of 3 and when she graduated from prep k, she was reading at the kinder level and I wouldn't have been able to do that on my own. We still attend camps and the Allstars after school program. We love L4L!!! Feel free to contact me about my experience with L4L.

Would give more stars if I could!…read more My son has been going to Kiddie Academy since 2020, and we've had a wonderful experience. One of the biggest reasons is the excellent learning curriculum, the care and attentiveness of the teachers and staff, and the fact that both my kids love going there, learn so much, and truly enjoy their time. We always feel that they're safe and well cared for. My son is especially fond of Miss Alina -- she's been so kind, caring, and supportive throughout his time there. When it was time for him to leave for kindergarten, he was genuinely sad because Miss Alina was his favorite. Kiddie Academy has been a consistent, nurturing place for my family, and I'm so grateful for the amazing staff who make it feel like a second home. Highly recommend!

My son used to attend another daycare in Mountain View, which we all absolutely loved, but we had…read moreto leave due to relocating. He started at Kiddie Academy Brentwood when he turned four and attended for about five months. His teacher was Ms. Alaina. Pros * You need your own login to enter the school. * All food is provided (though it's not exactly "free," considering we were paying almost $100 a day). * At drop-off, all the teachers would always say good morning to my son. I honestly wished one of those teachers had been his teacher. * My son loved playing with his friends and formed very close bonds with a few of the kids. * He learned how to write most letters and started learning addition. Cons * My son often seemed sad in the mornings when I helped him put his shoes on. He asked for "only easy shoes" because during nap time, they take their shoes off, and Ms. Alaina would refuse to help him put them back on. My son words were "Ms. Alaina said to put them on myself and doesn't want to help me". What parent would have enjoyed listening to that? So then I asked him more questions about this and he said his friend would help him put his shoes on. This made me want to cry because how sweet of his friend to try to help. From there on out, my son only took "easy shoes" (shoes with no shoelaces). Another time, I picked him up and his shoelaces were completely untied. He was literally dragging his feet. I asked the teacher to help him next time, and she said she hadn't noticed. It's hard to believe a child dragging his feet could go unnoticed. * They have a parent app, but the teacher wouldn't update it until the end of the day, which defeated the purpose of wanting updates while I was away at work. * Ms. Alaina had Trump stickers all over her water bottle. (I guess this might be a pro for Trump supporters.) Regardless of political affiliation, a teacher should never display political messaging in the classroom. One time, my son saw a picture of Trump and said with excitement, "It's the guy from school." Why are they talking about Trump at school? * At pick-up, Ms. Alaina never gave me updates on how my son's day went. His previous school always did, so maybe it's just not standard practice here? * One time I picked him up and he had red all over his face. I panicked, thinking it was a nosebleed, but Ms. Alaina said it was frosting from cupcakes they had during snack time. Snack time is at 3pm and I picked him up at 5pm, you would've thought between those two hours she could've told him to go wipe his face. It's literally common sense to wipe a child's messy face. * The classroom had a 1:12 teacher-to-student ratio. For the amount of money parents are paying, I feel that the school could have added another teacher. I guess that helps explain why Ms. Alaina wasn't as attentive as I had hoped. * Again, Ms. Alaina being a Trump supporter. Imagine supporting a president who has openly discussed dismantling parts of the education system while working as a teacher? Make it make sense. Overall, these are the reasons why I feel this school deserves only two stars. Maybe it would have been more if my son's teacher had been kinder and more nurturing.

ZERO STARS IF I COULD…read more Diamond Hills is an absolute money pit. Every time I came in specifically to cancel my membership, there was no one there who could actually process the cancellation. I kept being told to come back, and somehow the process was made as difficult as possible. This is now the SECOND time I've had to deal with this. I tried to cancel in person multiple times, and there was never anyone available to actually take care of it. Then, after trying to cancel, I'm hit with random, ridiculous charges anyway. How convenient. It should not be this difficult to cancel a membership. You shouldn't have to repeatedly show up, find out nobody can help you, and then deal with more charges afterward. Honestly, the whole experience has left such a bad taste in my mouth. They make it incredibly easy to take your money and ridiculously difficult to stop them from taking it. If you're thinking about joining, DON'T. Save yourself the headache, the frustration, and the unnecessary charges. I will never give this place another dollar.

Love this ballet school for my 7 year old! This is my daughter's second Tutu school. She started at…read morethe Brentwood one 2 years ago after we moved here. All of the Tutu schools are decorated whimsically, with a chandelier and ballet dresses on the wall, to give your little ones that wonderful princess feel. Also, there are 2 recitals on stage per year. They are fun events, nothing too stressful for our little ones. Yes, they teach the ballet moves (pique, rond de jambe, etc) and the older kids use the barre. However, one of things I like the most is that Tutu also emphasizes fun. The music is recognizable instrumental versions of Disney songs. They read stories. Some lessons are like games. They don't turn off little ones to ballet by being those stereotypical strict ballet teachers. Also, the Brentwood Tutu hold free fun events throughout the year, like short ballet performances from the local ballet companies or arts and crafts events for the holidays. My daughter's teacher right now is Miss Kennedy and she's wonderful! She's strict enough to enable the girls listen to her, but she's mostly fun and cheerful. Definitely recommend this dance school!
