I'll start by saying, I think a 1.5 would be more appropriate for this review but since Yelp does…read morenot allow that option, 1.5 will be rounded to 2. I called ahead to find out when their open play time takes place and then connected with a friend to arrange a play date for our two little ones (2 and 5). We were so excited to have a gym-like place nearby! The four of us arrived before the time indicated, only to find a couple of moms and babies sitting in the waiting area of All That Jazz. We didn't realize that ATJ and TT were connected but waited patiently at the front desk. After several minutes, we walked back to where the dance studio kiddos were practicing and didn't see an employee in sight. We decided to call the number and when a woman answered, we let her know that we had been waiting out front to pay our $10 to have the kids use the equipment in TT for one hour. She apologized that they were preparing props for a performance (which I get) but charged us the full $10 for the hour anyways. 1.5 stars gone. The space itself: Was just, meh... at best. The woman walked us back and turned the lights on and the air to one of the jumping pieces and that was it. No explanation on what there was to do, etc. and she knew we had never been. The girls figured out how to use most of the pieces but there were a few things we were unsure of and ended up avoiding in case they misused them and got hurt in the process. Another star gone for this part of our experience. I thought that maybe we would get an extension by 20 minutes (since that's how long we waited) but no, she came in at 11:00 on the nose and began shutting the power off, etc. Star docked. Bottom line: The open play at TT seems to be more of an after-thought. Their primary business is the dance studio and after our experience here I will gladly drive to Kingstowne to play at My Gym (which is where we've booked our little one's next party). It is *definitely* not worth the $10 entrance fee.

I was very optimistic and excited when kiddie Academy opened in the area. It started out pretty…read moregreat but the high staff retention has caused this place to go down hill very quickly. If you are looking for a place of baby sitting this is the right place for you. If you are looking for a legitimate curriculum and education to prepare your kid, do yourself and your pockets a favor and look somewhere else. I'll start with the pro: -Location is convenient -New building/classroom -Cameras in the classroom(it's not common everywhere else) Cons: -Director is a joke. Terrible customer service, I wonder if the owners realizes she is tanking their business. -Pre-K teacher Jocelyn is rude and unprofessional. She will not help your kid; she will let them play all day and good Luck when they get to kindergarten. The way she speaks to the kids is VERY concerning. ...Stay away -There is a new teacher every week, and those they hire are not qualified. The good teachers left long time ago when they realized this daycare is not a good place for them to work or teach. -Just a place for kids to play and not learn anything. I can go on and on but I think you get the picture.

Kiddie Academy of Woodbridge-North has been such a blessing and life-saver for me and my daughter…read more First- let's talk about the facility. It is brand new and gorgeous. With COVID, it was important to know that everything in there was less than a year old and that their staff is constantly cleaning. Second- let's talk about the staff. EVERY ONE that works there is amazing. They are not just nice and friendly, which is important, but they are inviting. I feel that they truly care about my child and that they care about my needs. Ms Roxanna is always working with my daughter, on reading, which is what I had asked. She is so patient and kind but strict enough to get what I request done. They are also always doing fun and educational stuff, even in the summer. Third- I mentioned they have been a blessing. Christin, the director, has truly been our guardian angel. Even when we first didn't sign up since we decided to enroll her in Kindergarten vs pre-k, she still kept tabs on us, just to see how we were doing. When my daughter's nanny could no longer work, Christin made sure that not only could they watch my child but they were able to pick her up from Kindergarten. No matter how crazy my schedule is, Christin and Kiddie Academy have been and are there for me, completely flexible and willing to work with me and my needs. My child has been to other daycares and I felt that at times, I was just a dollar sign. At Kiddie Academy, I feel like we are friends and family and they do truly care about my child.

I messaged the gym (via their website) regarding the seating 2 days prior to the meet, but I received no response. One day prior to the meet, I called the gym to ask about the spectator seating, but the person answering the call could give me any information, she tried to find someone to take the call, but there was no one available. The bars and men's apparatus were located in a different room, so you had the choice to try to make your way back there or miss these events altogether.

A team of caring and intelligent educators and leaders. We…read morehave been at The Springs for near a year now. We started the application process pre COVID and entered during the summer program which secured our slot for the fall, so my experience is limited to the Toddler Program (my child started at 22 months old) during the pandemic. For background, I have had my now toddler in a chain daycare (Kindercare) and a great in home daycare but those are true daycares vs a Montessori school so they are completely incomparable. I only have laudatory remarks about the professionalism and care of The Springs. Mr. Dan, The Head of School (HoS), and Ms. Katelyn the Assistant HoS are absolute leaders. Incredibly responsive to any request and communicative on all aspects of the school, I trust their judgment and appreciate all the efforts to remain operational during COVID. Our teacher Ms. Katelyn D., and her assistant teachers Ms. Belkin and Ms. Ethel are amazing with the children and my tot is THRIVING! I have sent emails late on a Friday or Saturday night to Ms. Katelyn D.,not expecting a response until the next working day, only to find a reply in my inbox within hours. Professional and dedicated, I feel a sense of team between the educators and parents as all focus is on the child. The Springs Montessori has me a true believer in the Montessori methods and although yes, it is more expensive than the other daycares my peace of mind for the well being of my child and results of my happy kiddo worth the price tag. Some perks: -A daily report of diaper changes/ what was eaten/ nap length so you can plan your evening -Catered lunches- no oops I forgot the lunch box on the table moments, such a time saver -Parent teacher conferences- yes for a TWO year old, it's awesome -Weekly photos of your child engaging in activities at school -virtual learning options -online portal to track your child's milestones and communicate on routine admin requirements Things to consider: -It's a school, not a day care, school schedules include seasonal breaks -when things get back to normal the kids wear a uniform, I love this but it does add cost -the parking lot is not great, it's busy! Between the parking lot and COVID mitigation, allot extra time for drop off/ pick up Bottom line- I love this school and my child loves this school too.

I preface my review with that I did not send my child here (yet) but I went for a tour. The staff…read morewas pleasant but it was clear they are trying to staff up and get more kids at this center. I liked that the staff seemed generally friendly, they have a meal calendar for the kids, and the preschool looked active and lively. The infant -toddler room kind of looked sad though. Kind of inactive and quiet, I guess is the best way to describe it. And I have a toddler. It was a small room and I think it would be better to separate the two rooms but I think it might be a staffing issue? Either way maybe down the road I may consider them, as it is a close enough location which may suit our childcare needs. But nothing really wowed me from that visit for a toddler.

We signed up for private swim classes for my 3-year-old at KIDS FIRST Swim School in Springfield…read more Before starting, we clearly explained that our son is not used to new adults and that we wanted the same instructor consistently so he could feel comfortable and build trust. Unfortunately, almost every week there was a cancellation or instructor change. Out of 6 classes, my son had about 5 different instructors. For a young child who needs consistency, this was very stressful. Each class felt like starting over because he had to adjust to a new adult again, so there was little to no improvement. After about 3 weeks, I complained to the head instructor. Instead of listening or helping, he seemed frustrated and raised his voice back at me, basically saying he already knew. That was very disappointing. My biggest concern is that they require families to schedule private lessons far in advance, but they could not provide a consistent instructor for the set day and time. We chose private lessons specifically for consistency, and they did not deliver that. For families with very young children, especially children who need time to get comfortable with new people, I would not recommend this location for private lessons. It ended up being a huge waste of time and money for us.
