Einstein's Workshop is a creative kid's dream. It's basically an indoor play area, filled with…read morecreative type toys, as well as a computer room where every kid plays, you guessed it, Minecraft. - There are lego tables, tables for Kinex toys, others whose names I forget. Two ramps for testing out lego car creations. A 3D printer, printing stuff. Neat room. Off to the side are other classrooms or private rooms for parties. The kids mainly hung out in the main room working on legos, and others stayed on Minecraft for the whole time. - My one caveat was that it's very boy-oriented stuff. The girls we took didn't find much interest in legos or Minecraft. So, they weren't that thrilled to be there. - There is a 3D scanner in an adjacent building; you can have your body scanned and turned into a 3-D sand sculpture. Creepy/cool! -

Was concerned that it might be too advanced for him (he's just going into 4th grade this fall). The instructor (Sarah - she's terrific) assured me he'd do great. And she was right - he loved it. At the end of the week I asked him to rate his experience on a scale of 1 to 10. His answer - 'infinity!' Next up - I'll be signing him up for a Mindcraft/into to electronics class. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

There was absolutely no information given about the drop off and pick up procedure. There is only one narrow road in/out. No information was given about early pick up and where to park, especially how to avoid the busses that arrive at least an hour early. My child told me that some of the camp counselors were "mean" to the younger girls, speaking to them in sharp tones and with belittling language. As a parent I also encountered some negative attitude from some staff. The program for girls who want to be camp counselors is severely lacking in direction and activities. The program describes that the girls will learn leadership skill and work with younger children. According to my child very little of those goals were fulfilled. Overall this was a waste of time and money, not something we would recommend to friends.

All of the kids in her group worked to help her as did the instructors. My impression is that the instructors are excited to teach the kids, know how to engage them, give them the appropriate level of support and alot of positive feedback. A great combination of skills for these instructors to have. By the end of the session my daughter was hooked. Her only comment to me at the end of the week was that she was glad I enrolled her, she stated hat she wanted to come back next year and participate in the camp again and was going to try to recruit a girlfriend to come with her. We will definetly be participants in the camp next year!

The studio is on the top floor of an old building near the center of Arlington, a densely populated town. Plan ahead to park, or be Zen about the general traffic situation in the greater Boston area. I recommend the ACA to any adult looking to develop their artistic craft. Especially if you are working from the ground up like me! You will find a supportive environment with lots of instruction and guidance.

Poor-quality camp - unfriendly to working parents…read more The teachers are great, but the camps are very poorly run and the space used isn't adequate. The youngest children occupy a very small room, and more than once were kept inside all day in spite of its being nice out, "because the big kids were outside." The management is quite poor and both those running the camp and the promotional materials are unclear about what the camp offers. On its website, the vacation camp advertises early drop-off and extended day but when, on the first day of camp, I attempted to sign up for these, I was told that I was "not encouraged" to use the services for my child. The total lack of clarity in the materials and from the people I spoke with resulted in my being unable to work a full week. I had no warning of this, and those in charge of the camp shrugged it off with a smug smile. It seems they expect all of their families to employ nannies. If you don't, then consider yourself "not encouraged" to send your child here.

Then she taught a mini zumba class complete with an obstacle course that the kids LOVED! It is such a beautiful, large, well-lit, CLEAN studio with ample space for kids to run around and play in without bumping into each other. We had 12 kids present but there was definitely room for a few more. The pace of the party was great and by the time we fed them pizza, the kids ate so quietly after burning energy! We decided to order 2 extra pizzas to our party package which was a real time (and stress!) saver so we didn't have to bring our own food, but we did bring our own cupcakes. Our friends are still talking about how much fun they had! Highly recommend H2K for parties (and they have super fun classes too!)!!
