    Work from Early STEM
    Hoi C.

    My daughter is a kindergartener enrolled in a charter school homeschool program. I first learned about STEM Center from our vendor list and was excited to find out that it was only 20 minutes away from our house. My Kindergartener has been taking Early STEM with them for 2 months already. I was suspicious at first because the classes were short (45 minutes) so I was curious how much she would benefit from the program, especially being a young, shy kid she is with little exposure to STEM topics before. It only took one day to convert her into a fan of her new program. The classes follow a curriculum, but students are allowed to add their own creativity to their work. She learned how to build, count, write, measure, weigh, and so many new skills! She had so much fun learning new topics every week that she wouldn't stop talking about her experience to everyone she knows! Mondays become the day that she looks the most forward to because of that. I must say the best part of STEM Center is their staff. They are very friendly and passionate about their teaching. Everyone I have spoken to, from the owner Melissa to the manager Frida, and to the instructors Miss Armie and others, everyone is always so patient and welcoming to us and the other families. I am very grateful to find such a high quality program that truly cares about the students and inspires them in every way. I highly recommend STEM Center USA and hope everyone enjoys the same! Big thanks the team for all your hard work and support!

    WOWWWWWWW!! My daughters have been attending STEM Center USA for three years now and have learned so much during this time! All of the instructors are amazing, thoughtful and kind. I want to emphasize Ms. Frida, Ms. Jessica and of course all of the staff! Your children will learn so much information in a fast pace catered to their specific learning style. I encourage you to give this program a minimum of two months and within that time your child will be fully immersed in.

    I highly recommend STEM Center USA. My son did a class once a week from Sept 2023-May 2024, he did one of the week long camps in July and now both him and my daughter are doing a weekly class since September 2024. I couldn't be happier with the class subjects and the teachers. My son has learnt about building, beginner coding and will soon start beginner robotics. If your child loves science and engineering then this is the class for them. It is so good for their brain and development. The projects are interesting and the classes move at a great pace.

    My son started in the Fall of 2022 and it is the one activity or sport he has continued to go to; it is a testament to the subject matter, the staff, and the environment. We are thrilled with the results and happy with the value STEM USA offers to families. He has completed many different courses and we hope it stays with him as he transitions to middle and high school. The pickup and drop off is super easy with a warm atmosphere. I recommend the 20-class package to avoid the monthly bill which helps the overall experience from a cost perspective. Also, remember that they close for winter and summer break so a 20-class package will last a while.

    They host small raffles for students which are amazing, I won a coding box in my last class.

    Very fun and the teachers were above awesome! Friendly environment and I made friend with classmates and teacher. They have items for all ages and they even have gaming classes. Easy 11 out of 10! -Matthew C. 12yrs

    This place is amazing! From the staff (Frida and the rest of the teachers), the space and the curriculum this place does not disappoint. My husband and I were looking for an extra curricular for our daughter to nurture her love for science and Stem Center USA has done just that. Every week my daughter looks forward to her classes and has grown so much each year she attends. Parents, if you are looking for a place to enroll your kids to a place they can explore, become more creative, and challenge them this place is the perfect fit.

    We started attending STEM Center USA several months ago after we found them through my child's homeschool charter school. My son is always excited to participate and has made friends. Also, the staff is so caring, knowledgeable, and professional. What I love about this center is that they provided additional support with my son's science fair project (where he received a Physical Science award). They truly go above and beyond to make their students succeed and spark their curiosity. I would highly recommend these centers to all caregivers :)

    I highly recommend stem center USA. My son has been attending classes and summer camps here for about a year now and it is hands down his favorite activity. He has learned a lot here from great teachers and has made friends in each of his classes. Classes here have helped him become a critical problem solver and build confidence in his ability to do new things.

    My son attended his first season at Camp Adventurewood in 2023 - it was his first experience at a…read moresummer camp and he was a little nervous and shy but all his counselors made him feel so welcome and comfortable and after the first day he was hooked! He loved the variety of activities and made so many new friends. He came home with fun stories each day. I loved that they offered a variety of options from 2 days/week to 5 days. We returned last summer and an unexpected and sudden medical event threw our summer for a loop. They were beyond kind and accommodating. Michael, the owner, personally made sure we were taken care of at a very scary time and was just incredibly kind and communicative. I can't thank him and his staff enough for the support. I would recommend this camp for any family. Its like a classic, old-school summer day camp experience!

    My son attended Adventurewood camp for the first time this week. For the most part he enjoyed…read morehimself -- particularly the characters they introduce throughout the week. However, we decided to pull him out for next week because of a very disturbing situation. He shared that a counselor had pushed him with both hands on his shoulders during a capture the flag activity. He had dropped his flag and was putting it back on when a counselor (he didn't know her name) pushed him back hard enough to make him lose his balance and fall. She also barked "you need to reset!" She didn't ask if he was ok or help him up. You'd think if this was an accidental push and he fell over she would say something like "sorry bud are you ok? Here let me help you up" but nope, not a word. A friend he's attending camp with witnessed the whole incident. Since I pick them both up in the afternoons they both recounted this situation to me and both of them noted how inappropriate her behavior was. I immediately reached out to Michael, the owner of the camp. He said he wanted to identify this counselor and get her side of the story. Understandable. My son felt uncomfortable going back the next day but I reassured him it would be handled and offered to drop him off in the morning and stick around to talk to Michael and the counselor. I wanted him to feel safe. Michael identified her (her name is Carson) and said he wanted to talk to her first, which he did a few feet away from me. I heard her say she didn't push him. They then walked over to me and she again denied everything. So we asked both kids to come over and recount what happened. They both did -- in front of her -- and reiterated she pushed him. She denied even touching him. So Michael suggests at this point that perhaps it was an accident and my son responds by saying "how do you push someone like that by accident?!" No response. So I ask her, are you saying these kids are lying? She again said she didn't touch him and at this point we send the kids away. I'm incensed because not only does she gaslight both of them to their face but tells this bold faced lie to her boss in front of the campers and me. I tell her I believe them and I think she's the one lying. At this point she gives me this dirty look - angry, irritated and almost rolls her eyes at me. I turn to Michael and say "and now she's giving ME an attitude?!" Unbelievable. In a follow up call, he tells me how good of a person she is and that this is shocking for him to hear but that she doesn't seem like someone who would do something like this...that she's getting her teacher credentials and he knows her really well. I am getting the vibe he doesn't actually believe any of this and he sounds very skeptical. I respond by telling him that it's almost always surprising when people exhibit bad behavior and that even teachers do bad things...that doesn't make her any more credible in my eyes. He acknowledged that. In fact, it's worse because I would be really concerned to have someone like that teaching a kid. Lack of empathy, accountability, and integrity. I mean, I think it's great he's trying to have her back but there are moments in life when you need to draw a line and act swiftly...these are one of those moments. Because ultimately, this impacts the reputation of your camp. I told him that it would be good to offer training to his staff in case this ever happens again in the future and honestly he sounded baffled and asked me to clarify...I said well maybe tell your staff not to give dirty looks to a mom who's clearly upset that her son just got pushed by a grown adult at summer camp?? I told him that the response to this situation could've resulted in a totally different outcome. Had she said something like "I really don't recall pushing you but if I inadvertently did and made you feel bad I'm sorry - I didn't mean to do that" - I would've went home that morning feeling fine about the situation. When I told him this he said that he's not going to police all her reactions, that she's still young, that she's still learning and made all kinds of excuses for her. Exhausting. Apparently she got a "warning" and will sit out of the flag activity (umm, ok...). He seems like a smart guy and wish him nothing but success in the future and I was earnestly trying to offer advice for how to handle a situation like this better but it fell on deaf ears. I really hope that some kind of learning comes out of this for both of them. Oh and to top it off, my son's friend told her mom that Carson was giving her looks several times throughout the day today and when she asked what kind she said "side eye" looks. NOT COOL. My son also said she was kind of mean to him but wondering why they were even in close proximity when Michael said they'd absolutely be separated and would not see each other? Validates we both made the right choice by pulling them both out. He offered a refund but I'm still pissed about the situation.

It was our first time and they made us feel extremely welcomed and invited. That's a HUGE green flag in my book. You want to be around people excited about their job and what they do. When I went to pick up my friend's kid, he was very excited for what he cooked. I got to try some of the pizza he made and honestly, the crust was better than a lot of the pizza joints out there and the crust I've made before. He's in the older class (pre teens and teens) and seemed to enjoy cooking with them. Afterwards, the front desk told us about the different classes and programs. We got the recipe for this week and past weeks so we can try them at home as some of the items caught my eye. He loved the class and will be going back. If your kid has an eye on cooking and wants to learn, I'd definitely sign them up here. It's always good to have some hands on help to ask questions and learn. Wish they had more classes and we missed out on sign ups for the summer. It's $40 a class or 4 weeks is $145 I believe. 90 minute classes. Since they already have the ingredients and everything, it's worth the price.

    Poor experience for an adult cooking class. I wish I read these reviews prior to spending $160…read more My vision was that it would be similar to a paint and sip where we all create our own masterpiece, but this is far from it. You only get to watch 2 chefs cook, and not really learn any new skills. Throughout our class I had the luxury or chopping 1/4 of an onion and tomato. Never was taught how to properly use a knife.
