He subsequently attended Ransom Everglades and MIT. Riviera Day School's nurturing academic environment was a really solid foundation for my son. The Director, Lawrence Cohen was always supportive and wonderful.

As a parent, you want your child to be in a nurturing environment that encourages play, imagination and learning. Riviera delivered in spades and helped my son to have academic success throughout his life.

The immersive setup made it feel like you were right in the middle of the story, and the cast was incredible. Their singing was amazing, but what really impressed me was how versatile they were -- everyone just embodied their roles so naturally. The attention to detail was next level. Even the lobby was themed to match the show, which made the whole night feel extra special. It reminded me a little of Sleep No More in New York -- not quite as interactive, but it had that same feeling of being part of the story rather than just watching it unfold. A couple of tips if you're planning to go: Get there early if you care about where you sit. Since it's immersive, the experience can vary depending on where you're positioned. Parking is in a garage nearby, and you'll have to walk a bit to the venue, so check the map on their website beforehand -- it'll save you some stress (especially if you do end up running late) They do have concessions, but dont expect anything super fancy or unique. I think they missed out on an opportunity to do something fun and thematic with this. Overall, I'd see this again in a heartbeat, and I'm already looking forward to checking out more shows here. Highly recommend!

Families with children and/or friends on the autism spectrum who intend to enroll in the ITP…read more(Inclusive Theatre Program, now called Inspired Theatre Program) classes at Area Stage, please read below before moving forward. Our daughter, now a 9-year-old girl on the spectrum who loves art and music in an incredible way, started her journey with Area Stage in mid-2024 by taking private lessons with Annette, an amazing instructor at Area Stage. Under Annette's guidance and patience, our daughter improved tremendously and was able to perform in three showcases where she sang and danced alongside other children. This success did not come without challenges. Raising and supporting a child on the spectrum can be very difficult. From meltdowns and lack of attention to struggles with taking turns and stimming, families connected to autism understand these behaviors can be caused by many factors such as inflexibility or sensory overload, which are often misunderstood by neurotypical people as misbehavior or poor parenting. Fortunately, everywhere we have gone to help improve our daughter's behavior and skills, we have been blessed with people who truly understand autism and know how to support autistic children, just like Annette did. That changed on May 14th, 2026, when our daughter's instructor had an emergency and could not attend class, so a substitute instructor was assigned to the ITP class. Our daughter had a rough day during class and, as we were told, she was not following directions and was being disruptive. She was repeatedly told not to do certain things because they were "not allowed," as if that alone has ever been an effective way to regulate or support a child on the spectrum. Our daughter was in deep distress, as she often becomes when something triggers a shutdown. Her behavior escalated to the point that the Director of Inspired Theatre Project, Irma Becker, stepped in and told her she was misbehaving, that wh. This is a 1 hour class. Meanwhile, I, her father, was sitting outside waiting for the class to finish. Once the time was up, I approached the door where the children exit from, but no one came out. As I got closer, I heard, "So who's coming to pick up this child today?" To my surprise, it was Irma asking who was picking up my daughter. When I explained that I was her father, Irma approached me aggressively and explained that my daughter did not want to participate and that she was a "mean girl" who pushed her multiple times while she was trying to get her to follow directions. My daughter was listening to everything Irma was saying because they were standing next to each other. While Irma discussed my daughter's behavior with me, my daughter became even more overwhelmed, yelling and completely out of control. I told Irma that I would talk to my daughter later at home, but she continued escalating the situation. In the middle of the chaos, she told me that we needed to discuss next year's enrollment because of my daughter's behavior, although she still had to commit to participating in this year's showcase. I was speechless and asked, "Do you even know that my daughter is on the spectrum?" In response, Irma began listing her titles and degrees in behavioral therapy, completely contradicting herself through her own behavior. It is truly sad that someone like this could be in charge of a program such as this one. We formally contacted ownership via email to explain the situation, hoping to schedule a meeting, discuss possible solutions, and receive an apology. Instead, we were told that after conducting an investigation with the people present, ownership concluded that Irma never said anything inappropriate about our daughter. Additionally, our daughter was removed from the inclusive program entirely only two weeks before her showcase. During a call with ownership regarding our email, the owner himself told us that he believed the problem with our daughter was that she was "not used to hearing no." Imagine saying that about a child on the autism spectrum, as if simply hearing "no" were ever a solution for autism-related behaviors. This was coming from someone who has never spent even a second with our daughter, yet still felt comfortable giving an opinion about her behavior. What I see here is a major red flag. When someone reports misconduct, unethical behavior, or unprofessional conduct and their concerns are immediately dismissed or denied, it creates an environment where that behavior can continue unchecked and potentially lead to even more serious problems. It is like calling a police department to report misconduct by the chief of police, only for the person making the complaint to be punished for speaking up. Thank you for creating a program that helps so many students with special needs. I truly hope this experience serves as an opportunity for growth and improvement so the program can become even more inclusive moving forward.

We kept trying to join other opportunities, such as the summer camp sessions and as a previous reviewer mentioned within 15 minutes the sessions were full. I finally was able to get one of my kids to attend a summer camp session and she had the best time. Now both my children have had years of helping out as volunteers and I am so thankful for a place like Nature Postings.

Hands down the best summer camp in Miami. (They just sold…read moreout for summer camp 2019' in 15 minutes, so hopefully you are looking at this review for one of their other fun activities.) My kids have done Girl Scout kayaking events with them and summer camp before. This is the cure to the iPad. The cure to the Xbox. The cure to Fortnite. If you are looking for supervision to go along with the words "Go outside and play", this is it. Summer Camp: Broken up into surf and turf options. The first 3 weeks of summer camp is water heavy. Snorkeling and kayaking near the mangroves and in the canals. (Swim test required.) They bike everywhere. (Bicycle and helmet required. You can still be on training wheels, but a lot easier if you teach your kid to ride a bike.) I mean, like 10 miles round trip in a day is nothing. They take care of animals (snakes, tarantulas, bearded dragons, mice...) They hike and explore and take notes. Rain or shine. Your children will sleep fantastically. You really need to check out their site to see the afterschool options. The family outings that are available all year long. Options for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and just active kids with parents in the know.
