My family had a very poor experience with this organization, specifically the summer…read moreCounselor-in-Training program. We did our due diligence - spoke with a staff member about their programs, had a positive encounter with them during a community event, and perused the website. Everything seemed like it'd be a good fit, so we signed up for two weeks of camp (again, as a Counselor-in-Training) Day 1 -- our daughter comes home and recalls how she was asked to sit with one child, one-on-one, all day. The staff suggested that this child had "behavioral issues", and that our daughter should come get them (the Counselors) if he did not listen and did anything wrong. As a former counselor + advocate, I did not like how this sounded, but wanting to give the organization a solid chance and wanting to foster resilience in our daughter, we sent her back for a second day. Day 2 -- our daughter comes home and recalls she was asked to organize a bookshelf, which took her 40 minutes, and had very little interactions with the counselors -- whom she was supposed to be learning from. Now I'm agitated. For, these were NOT the type of experiences we had expected and wanted for our daughter; we pulled her from the camp after just two days. She was never given proper instructions or opportunities to learn from the counselor nor asked to work with campers working on art projects; but to have our child sit with one camper, one-on-one, all day, was a huge red flag and liability issue that I could no longer overlook. When reaching out to share our concerns, the owner responded and suggested our daughter fabricated everything. That the experiences our daughter had were not consistent with how their staff saw things. This left me flabbergasted that the staff had no empathy for our daughter and her experiences there, did not validate our concerns as a family, and essentially suggested our daughter made it up. There was no accountability; NOT ONE THING her staff could have done differently? Nor was there self-reflection to rumble with -- how could they have helped our daughter have a better experience. Only condescending finger pointing wrapped in ultra polite and polished language. On top of it all, the organization has a no refund policy. So my family paid $400 for our daughter to learn skills of a Counselor-in-Training, she attended just two day, and all she took away was being a 1:1 aide (again, the liability piece was overlooked by the staff in their response!) and organizing a bookshelf. I expected more from a non-profit organization! They have our money - see if you can use our balance towards your enrollment fees!

We took my daughter to this art class and the teacher was so rude to my 12 year old daughter. To…read morethe point she had her in tears when we picked her up. She told my daughter her art supplies were terrible, complained that her parents didn't buy the right supplies and was downright rude and unhelpful. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The teacher doesn't even deserve one star.

I HIGLY recommend for a birthday party!! My daughter turned 6 and had the nicest birthday party…read morewith her friends! My daughter wanted. a unicorn with rainbow colors, and they sent her SEVERAL to choose from and simplified it for the age of the kids which was amazing. One of the owners is an amazing artist as well, with her art of the walls which really was neat. Reasonably priced for 12 kids, and we brought in our own food and desert. I decorated the tables but they had table cloths ready. They had aprons sized for the kids and the girls LOVED IT. I heard one girl say to another it was the "beat birthday party she had been at". That made me feel so good for my daughter!! Located conveniently in Denville close to Rt 80! The owners are the sweetest people! We are even talking about doing a mom night paint and sip next!

When my toddler wanted to take dance I was looking for a low pressure as well as a low cost option for my kid who is just exploring dance. This is the perfect place for her. Low pressure- keeps it light and fun for my toddler. The ballet class is adorable with a great mix of kids from all backgrounds. They keep the price of classes WELL below any other studio in the city as they want to be inclusive for all children to learn and experience dance. Classes fill up but I love this place and the kids are always excited to dance.
