Sensory Development Center offers that environment, not just with the cleanliness of their facility but Paulina and Kataya are wonderful with the children and very engaging. My 2yr old son absolutely loves it! They send updates and pictures via WhatsApp and are prompt with responding every time I have questions or last minute schedule changes. Everything in the facility is thought-out from sensory bins to motion swings to self regulating squishy balls everything serves a purpose! I would 100% recommend Ana's business. She's very kind and so easy and helpful to work with. I support her cute and welcoming atmosphere at Sensory Development Center and I know you would too! Thanks Ana and Friends Tyra & Jeddy!

My little guy is very attached to me, so I was worried about the drop off BUT...as soon as he saw the setup inside, he ran in and started playing.

We'll be joining in for more classes soon!

I'm writing this review to let others know about the wonderful staff here!!! My nephew was…read moreparticipating in one of the summer camps they have, I know it had something to do with Minecraft and coding, but I'm not really a techy person so I apologize if I'm incorrect about anything. I don't normally do things like reviewing stuff online, but the sweet young woman I talked to last week while picking up my nephew left such a wonderful impression on me that I felt the need to share! I've been in this building a few times before, but during my last visit the atmosphere felt different, I don't really know a better way to say it other than it felt more inviting. I think it was the music they were playing, very peaceful! She came out of the back room and greeted me very kindly, she was such a pleasant person to talk with! I wish I could remember her name of the top of my head, but I'm pretty bad with names (and after thinking it over I don't think I would say her name here even if I remembered it, not my place to share her personal things with the internet). However, she had a beautiful smile and short hair, I won't go any further into describing her since I don't think it would be right to blast her appearance online in a overly descriptive way. We talked for a little while as my nephew was finishing his camp, and apparently she's the one who implemented the new microwave. Very clever! She mentioned a few more projects she was working on for the shop that I can't remember, but what I do remember was I thought they were fantastic improvements while I was hearing them!! Something about a snack cabinet I think? I might be wrong, so don't bet to much on my memory. I can't say enough about how sweet and wonderful she was to talk with, even if it was only for a few minutes. The part my nephew liked best was "The Prize Boxes", or atleast thats what he told me its called. From what I could tell she would let the kids pick a prize to take home from a little box of their choice. I thought it was neat! My nephew seems to like her quite a bit, and I can see why! I like her much 10000x better than the previous employees I remember talking with in the past!

AMAZING. It was so…read morefun, I went for a friends birthday, the workers were very nice, the food they provided was good, and the music was AMAZING!! They played a lot of Olivia Rodrigo, Conan Gray, and Ed Sheeran, and a mix of other good songs from popular artists, they didn't just play popular songs either, they played Overdrive by Conan Gray which is VERY niche for the fandom :)) I would DEFENANTLY recommend you to go here!!

I haven't been here in years! Brings me back to the few memories I had…read more I signed my daughter up for their "super skate lessons" it's 4 Saturdays (you pick) for $50 skate rentals included. It starts at 11am, but I got here at 1045 so you can get checked in and skates ready. The instructor was nice, I didn't catch her name, but she was helping my daughter for a little bit. The class size was definitely bigger than I thought? Maybe like 20 people? Including grown ups to 5 year olds? There was another young girl helping her since there was so many participants. I spoke to Bob and he was helpful. Answered all my questions with honesty. I appreciated that. The bathrooms were clean. They had tables and seating areas. You can order food, cotton candy, dipping dots, icees, and more. There were arcade games with prizes. The place def gave 90's vibes! I ended up renting roller blades after her lesson, which was $22 (kinda pricey imo) and only skated for about 20 minutes with my daughter. But it was fun. Can't wait to come back for the rest of her lessons!

First, I don't recommend this for children entering K or younger. Our youngest is four (entering…read moreTK), but we kept her out this year because there are too many big kids and not enough supervision and structure. Basically, this place is a free-for-all for elementary and younger middle school students. Also, the bathrooms. Hit or miss. First day, one had ants and another one had poop. Last day, everything was clean and well-stocked. I realize that that's up to the janitorial staff of the host school and not S&K, but that is an area for improvement. With that said, Jenbert Jr 1 (6.5 years, entering 1st grade) had so much fun here. On her first day she played soccer, read in the library, made a bracelet, played interactive games with the counselors, went down the slip & slide, and played on the playground. She came back with an equally big smile on her face after the second day talking about finding Chucky the chicken, all the games she played, and pieing volunteers in the face. Jenbert Jr 1 is usually a fussy eater but she liked a lot of the meals here. She enjoyed the rest of her time here and can't wait to come back next year. As a parent, I love the flexibility, variety of activities (both the core and rotating), and the fact that nut-free lunch and snacks are provided. There are also veg and GF options. I also like that you only pay for what you use. We are looking forward to returning in 2027!

My kid and her friend registered for the last week of summer camp. They arrived at 9 a.m., but…read moreunfortunately, many things weren't open until 10:30 a.m. Consequently, they had limited options for activities. Even the open activities were completely full. When things finally opened, there were extremely long lines, and they were unable to participate in any activities except for a 20-minute sewing session before being excused for lunch. They were repeatedly told to return an hour later on many activities, so they tried the library, which was closed, and then searched for athletic equipment like balls or anything, only finding none that weren't already being played with. In essence, the kids were left with no options and were forced to sit around and observed other kids doing the same, which is not what we expected from what was advertised. I understand that the camp has a high number of kids the last week of summer, but it should not compromise their overall experience. I had to pick them up early because they literally had nothing to do. I am a working mom and was really hoping this camp would have worked out for them for the next day. Therefore, I requested a full refund but nobody ever got back to me about it. Super disappointing and a fair warning for others who are looking to enroll in this summer camp in the future.

The staff and instructors here are so very patient, kind and they make the program personalized to your child's skills/needs. They are extremely accommodating to schedules, make-ups and the environment is so welcoming, inviting and not overwhelming/overstimulating. They take the time to build trust and relationships with the kids, so they are confident and comfortable going into the water.

She apparently drank too much on July 4th and our July 5th lesson was cancelled last minute. The instructor we had last was too aggressive with my son to the point where he didn't want to go anymore.

I brought my daughter in this week and we will not be returning. The "trial" is also not free as you would expect a trial to typically be (I did? As some of the other reviews say this place is run by mostly younger folks. I did see several teens working. Once you complete the 45 min trial class someone will give you a quick test to see what skills you posses and then let you know what skill level class you should take. There was something about this place that didn't feel right to me. It feels like a money grab. Now after having gone once I am hearing this from a lot of people who have had the same experience. We will be staying at our gym now in Walnut Creek.

Had a very odd interaction with a staff member. We were told that California EBT cards were not and…read morewere never supposed to be accepted for the discounted climbing price across the touchstone gyms, however, every other gym has accepted it and the website itself says that they are accepted. If the policy for the company has changed, I understand the website might not reflect that yet, however, the website does clearly state California EBT is valid for the discounted price so it felt like this gym in particular is unilaterally deciding to not accept them despite what the company website states. I'm more than happy to update this review if contacted. I have tried contacting this gym to get clarification and have not been able to do so. Edit: manager has since reached out to rectify the situation. Great customer service.

The shoes are self serve and i noticed that they also provide rental chalk. The bouldering area is quite minimal, but they had a number of interesting problems and the boulders are all on Kaya, my preferred app for logging my climbs. They also provided 0 training or onboarding for us so if you are new to the sport, I would recommend coming here with a friend who knows the ropes haha. The grades made sense, I wish there was a bit more slab type climbing though, and the overhang area is also fairly minimal. This is obviously a much more top rope oriented gym. There is little AC but they do have fans, and there's a small strength training area and some treadmills. The bathrooms are quite well appointed with hair dryer, tampons, and nail clippers. Enjoyed the trip for sure!

Wonderful program! I honestly did not think that my two year old was old enough to play soccer. But…read moreI stopped at these folks tent at the Martinez Halloween event and was surprised to learn that they had a program close to us. We signed up for the class with Coach Matt at PH park/ Larkey Park and I have to tell you, it's been a game changer. The first lesson, my daughter had never kicked a soccer ball and had no interest. Today, we wrapped up the season and LOVES it. She talks about soccer and Coach Matt all the time and now kicks her soccer ball in the backyard. The impact has been great in just a few short weeks and we are so excited to sign up for the next season. P.s. this is not a team with soccer games. It's the basics teaching kids to kick, go around cones, make goals, listen to instructions and have fun. The Coach really did a great job making things fun, encouraging the kids to play, sang and of course gave stickers. I'm sure the other instructors are also great, but my daughter is a big fan of Coach Matt.

My oldest loves soccer now and begged to go back to Coach Ben, which is why we made the drive out to Walnut Creek on the weekends. He's goofy, knows how to relate to kids, and manages them well! As the first reviewer mentioned, this is not a team. It's a class of about 5-10 kids learning the basics and building up their skills together. Now, my daughter wants me to play soccer with her on a regular basis! If you have to miss class due to weather, illness, travel, whatever, scheduling a makeup is easy! Thanks, Coach Ben and Coach Matt! You rock my daughter's world!
