I was surprised and asked what's that. So they introduced me to Rolling Robot. My boy becomes so motivated not only robotics but also school. He started to care about his grade because he is in the good environment that all kids are positive and think it's important to have a good grade. The director Bing is a truly educator that cares about kids. I cannot say how much I appreciate Rolling Robot. This weekend, my boy and his team are going to state competition after only 7 months of learning. So happy they get a chance to see other 198 teams and get the chance to learn more. Thank you!!!

My 7 years old boy started with Artist Lab since he was 3 years old. We have been seeing all the…read moregreat programs and the teachers they have at the Artist lab Their programs are fun, practical, and easy to follow. The teachers are very patient and good at bringing the best out of the kids. Seems to me, those teachers have a lot experiences working with kids, they know how to make the kids working hard in a fun and motivated environment. All their teachers information are posted, I think all of them have art degrees. The Artist Lab also have events for kids showcase their productions which my son is absolutely looking forward to. During pandemic, my boy joined their online classes and went back onsite classes once they reopen. They have the dividers between seats. Kids and teachers are required to wear masks all times. They also measure the temperature every time. Parents are no longer allowed to go in inside, but I think I also saw some dyson air purifier machines on the floor. So I feel very confident sending him back with all the safety measurements they take in place.

My son has type one diabetes, which means constant insulin and blood sugar monitoring with…read morepotential for dangerous low blood sugar. My husband and I take off work to be present. This is the first time they've had a child with type one diabetes because there is no nurse on staff. I am a pediatrician and worked with Hillary who is wonderful. Unfortunately, there's a woman who is an assistant director named Marianne. She has been rude and very difficult in limiting our access to our son. They actually denied us a program after they had said we could do it because they didn't feel their staff was prepared. Our son who is 9 was told this just as the program was starting. This was unnecessary because we were present and they knew we were available to watch his blood sugar, but Marianne seems to want us not to be close to him for what would appear like preferential treatment, They also told us they are concerned that his phone had lost Battery power which is something we can fix in 5 to 10 minutes. His phone reads his blood sugars and transmits them to us. The counselor seem to be great and accommodating, but this administrator interrupted me and said she wasn't done talking and talked over me and said I wasn't fit to be around kids when she did not know I was a pediatrician. She does not want me near my son because it looks bad to other parents who want to be near their kids. Beyond my feeling that they're in direct violation of ADA I am letting my son continue here because he loves the program. We are only on day three and I hope Marianne has a change of heart for how she addresses other parents of children with special needs. She comes off very condescending and pushy. For the Friday swimming program, she doesn't want me to have access to the pool because it looks bad to other parents. She prefers to come out of the swimming area to me outside of the pool so that I can check his blood sugars and give him insulin. If only she could walk a day in his shoes. She says that she works with children with special needs and of course let a child with a wheelchair participate, but I don't believe it by her behavior with me and my husband. Perhaps she just doesn't know what it's like to be a parent of a child with special needs. My son was in tears when we told him he couldn't participate in that after camp program. They had previously said yes. A child should never be excluded for a medical condition after it was approved and especially not to their face without a kind apology. He was told it was for his safety that he could not participate. This was one of the worst things that I wanted to hear. We are constantly trying to prove to him that he can do anything in spite of having type 1 diabetes. My hope is that this gets back to Marianne so that she can consider how she spoke to me this morning. There was never an apology on her end. Additionally, one of my patients told me that her friends child gained 9 pounds over one camp session. The food is disgusting and they offer Oreo cookies in the morning and every meal that you can order here comes with donuts or a cupcake. They give otterpops and sugar nonstop.

This summer my son wanted to try robotics, so we signed up for one week of camp -- he loved it so much we ended up doing three weeks in a row!

The whole staff is super organized and supportive -- definitely the highlight of our summer!

We had my daughter's 9th birthday at Lil Chef this past weekend, and it was such a hit. The two…read morechefs running the party were awesome--funny, super interactive with the kids, and on top of every detail. They handled things I didn't even realize I didn't have to do--like setting up the goodie bags, cutting and serving the cake, packing leftovers--which meant I actually got to relax and enjoy the party. The kids had a blast making their own pizzas and decorating cupcakes, and the fact that the place comes already decorated with birthday banners and permanent balloons made it even easier. Plus, being able to bring in our own food and drinks (including alcohol!) for the adults was a huge bonus. Everyone kept commenting on what a fun and unique party it was. If you're planning to do goodie bags, I recommend ordering aprons on Amazon instead of buying them from the venue--it's cheaper and makes for a cute party favor. Also, I suggest putting a balloon on the directional signs in the shopping center by Dunkin' Donuts so your guests don't get lost, since it's a bit tricky to get there. Highly recommend Lil Chef if you want a fun, stress-free, and memorable birthday party.

If you're looking for a unique, engaging, and (most importantly) stress-free party venue, look no further! The moment we arrived, the staff was fantastic. They were incredibly friendly, professional, and had everything set up perfectly. They managed a group of twenty 9-year-olds with ease, keeping them entertained, focused, and most importantly, safe while they learned to cook. As a parent, the experience was truly seamless. The instructors handled the entire cooking lesson, kept the flow moving, and then--the biggest win of all--they took care of all the messy cleanup! I was able to relax and enjoy the celebration rather than running around managing logistics. The facility is bright, clean, and perfectly equipped for young chefs. This wasn't just a party; it was a fun, hands-on memory the kids won't stop talking about. Lil' Chef School is an absolute gem, and I highly recommend them for any birthday celebration!

The staff was amazing! Patient, fun, and great with the kids. Lincoln, Scout, Spencer, and Steve were favorites. The food was easily the best camp food we've had. They had their day of helping with setup and cleanup which taught teamwork. Activities were nonstop fun with zipline, Skycoaster, rockets, stargazing, climbing, and even microgravity in the pool. The chaperone lounge with Wi-Fi, coffee, and snacks was a lifesaver. Big shoutout to Josh, the director, for keeping everything running smooth. AstroCamp has been an awesome experience both times.

First true experience away from home without family like many others. She only had good things to say about the staff and food options. Luckily no bed bug issues like prior reviews. Shout out to Beatrice for being awesome with the kids! -2 stars for the bathroom/shower situations. It doesn't sound like there are many bathrooms for the amount of kids there. She mentioned some being clogged and feeling rushed due to several others needing to use the bathrooms. There were so many activities that she felt like there weren't many breaks to use the bathroom. In her dorm there were only 2 bathrooms/showers. They got back late after 9pm and rushed to squeeze people through to shower. People were barging in having to use the bathroom as others showered. Apparently the shower curtain was so minimal, another girl used an extra bed sheet to help create privacy, which all the girls appreciated. Maybe add a couple port-a-potties?! Might be wrong, but also sounded like not many trustworthy sources for water and hydration outside of meal time.
