Awesome place for kids to play!…read more We took 5 kids to play for a birthday celebration and they had a great time. The staff was great getting us checked in. They give you a bin to put your shoes in to keep the floors from being cluttered. Lots of tables and chairs for the adults to watch. They have a gate so the kids can't leave without an adult. The kids loved all the different themed play areas from giant building blocks, slides, soccer area, climbing areas. Even adults are welcome to join in the fun. They even have a small Toto's area for kids in diapers. I enjoyed that the staff let the kids play but we're still attentive in making sure rules were being followed.

Or stay and play with your child. Many fun areas. Ball pit, jump house, trampolines, climbing areas, dress up items, play kitchen, many riding toys. Also a smaller fenced in area for 3 year olds and younger. Lots of variety. It was a weekday afternoon when we went. Not super crowded. All in all a fun place for kids to run and play. The negative is, I would never suggest leaving your kids alone there. The supervision is lacking to nonexistent. I couldn't tell if it was just the cashier there alone, or if someone was helping her. She spent the entire time talking to another woman. Not one person was even watching the kids. No one ever walked around. The cashier's small son was there. And he was an uncontrolled kid. Running around, very wild. So while it is a fun place. I would say to never leave your kids there alone.

Before you can purchase your entertainment of choice, there is a QR code for parents or guardians to sign a waiver. We purchased the toddler time for around $16 with tax included. You also get $5 loaded onto a card for you to play some arcade games. This includes access to one room for toddlers to play in all day, but honestly there's not much to do to keep a toddler occupied all day in this room. Although the toddler room was disappointing, they are accommodating to the adults by having beverages available for purchase. Food wasn't too bad, so I can't be too upset with our experience. Was surprised they had fried cauliflower bites which was pretty good. Staff were very nice and helpful with any questions we had. Some of them were really interactive with the kids which made me smile. Overall, this place is probably better for bigger kids because they have more stuff to keep them occupied, like laser tag, rock climbing, ballocity, etc.. will probably try this place again when my kiddo is bigger.

We have to wait for staff to come to participate in an activity. I have paid and I believe my children should be able to play and have someone to help assist when my children should be able to take part in these activities. My mom and I went to speak with the lady at the front desk Tracey and she proceeded to us that it is what it is she short staffed and you provide no refunds. she did not provide credits she just seems yo not care your short staffed I have payed for my two children to play and now they can't even take part in all activities purchased through pass due to your establishment being short staffed. I will never patronage your establishment again complete waste of time, energy & money!! 0 STARS!!

We were so delighted to find Tutu School Strongsville! From the moment we walked in, the studio felt warm, organized, and genuinely welcoming. The staff greets families with kindness and familiarity, creating an environment where children feel comfortable and excited to participate. One of the things my son enjoys most is how personable and engaging the instructors are. They take the time to truly connect with each child-- learning their personalities and making them feel seen and supported. That personal attention has made a noticeable difference--he looks forward to class and leaves feeling proud of himself every time! The owners, Katie and Grant, are also wonderful. Their experience and passion in professional ballet and teaching dance is evident in everything they do. Their enthusiasm, expertise, and genuine care for the families they serve create a strong foundation for the entire studio. The instructors balance structure with imagination beautifully. They introduce real ballet fundamentals while keeping the experience playful and age‑appropriate. Their patience, professionalism, and warmth truly make each class feel special. The studio itself is clean, safe, and thoughtfully maintained, and communication from the Strongsville team is always clear and timely. Watching our son grow more confident each week has been incredibly rewarding. Tutu School Strongsville has provided exactly the enriching experience we were hoping to find, and we're grateful for the care, intention, and joy the entire team brings to every class.

They had plenty of option in my price range, which was also nice. One piece of advice if you're looking for a specific character or animal, I'd double check that it's not an online exclusive before you drive all the way out there. The family in front of me made that mistake and were pretty disappointed. But you can check all that, plus the availability of specific items, on their website. My niece wanted the Santa Bluey and I was able to confirm online ahead of time they had them in stock. Good experience all around! I look forward to taking her with me the next time my aunt's in town!

My child was left behind. I arrived to Primrose school to…read moredo my normal pick up of my three kiddos. Prior to getting them from their classroom I was asked to step into the office. I sat down to be told that my children had struggled all day and had bitten friends in the class. I then received a letter that was slid across the desk stating my child was terminated immediately as they have to put other families into consideration.My two year daughter has struggled in the classroom with biting, hitting, pushing, and pulling hair. The main concern has been the biting. In the hand book it states that "biting is-natural developmental stage for children ages 12 months to 3 years." Well this stage was new for me. My oldest never went through this "stage" so this was very new to us. When I was first approached about her biting I was open and worked with the teachers to navigate through this "stage". She loves reading.. I bought books about biting and hitting for at home and school and read them daily. I bought teethers. We sent her to school with a stuff animal to squeeze in frustration.. I had daily conversations about biting and talked about the feelings she was having. I agreed to giving her a binky in moments of frustration even though I expressed that she was only using it at night and I was concerned that it wasn't addressing her frustration.. it was just masking it with a pacifier. There were teachers that agreed with me about the pacifier but leadership continued to push the use of the pacifier. (This has been recommended not only for my child but others) This turned into her having the binky in her mouth all day and lead to her hitting in moments of frustration instead. I asked that they limit the use of a pacifier as it was creating more of a problem. I expressed to the school I felt like she was lacking support in the classroom and that these are not behaviors she displays at home with younger and older siblings or cousins. I expressed that these were behaviors that she picked up on from other children in the classroom. I expressed my concerns that I had with a teacher in the classroom. I expressed that there is something in the classroom that is triggering this behavior not only for my daughter but the other children. They agreed that there are several others in the class struggling with the same behaviors. They then offered to have Guide Stone come in and observe her in the classroom so they could create a plan to better support my daughter with giving the teachers guidance and training recommendations. I agreed. The documented observations stated many moments of my daughter needing redirection and support which was not given in many moments of the visits. Guide stone did not agree with the pacifier use as it stops her from communicating. A couple of visits went by and not one time was a bite documented while observing. Many of the moments that she struggle was handwashing.. she is at the sink washing hands and playing in the water. A child waiting wants to be included at the sink. It now turns into pushing and frustration yet there is no teacher in this moment assisting in this transition. The teachers are focused on going into the next activity. In the mix of this there has been a high turn over rate. My daughter has come home with bite marks and hair pulled and she talks about interactions with other kids. Now I know these things happen and I absolutely don't want my child hurting someone else just as I don't want her to get hurt. I have had conversations with other parents and we are all just trying to get through it because it is frustrating as it's been ongoing in the classroom. I was never informed leading up to this point that if these behaviors continued she would be terminated. I honestly thought with the new teacher in the classroom and guide-stone in the classroom that we were finally going to be working as a team and we were going to make progress. I thought the feedback/ suggestions that were given to the teachers from Guide-stone were great.. now the teachers just needed to apply it to the everyday. After a week of being pacifier free and 1 observation with the new teacher my child was turned away by this school. I exited that school feeling let down, humiliated as I carried trash bags of my kids belongings, and sad for my children as they have built relationships with other kids and teachers that they would no longer see yet be able to say goodbye. I was completely blind sided by this plan or where this was heading. Less than 24hrs to find child care for the next day for two full time working parents trying to support their family. It was the lack of support and training for the teachers. At the end of every observation the comments and suggestions prove that. This entire process was a paper trail to terminate my family.
