Local little kids gym that doubled as a party place. I truly wish I had discovered this place prior to my son turning four. I would've loved to utilize this place. It's about a mile from my house. Has a private parking lot. Offers a lot of classes and is sibling, and age inclusive. Came to a party here last weekend. They have two separate party rooms that you can decorate with plenty of space for kids and parents and food. If you're interested in something gymnastics-like without the pressure to be perfect and have excellent form, this place is worth a shot. They have a lot of physical, interactive fun to offer. Couldn't give five stars because I think for the price they could upgrade some of their equipment and maybe clean just a tad bit better.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience celebrating our daughter's 6th birthday at The Little Gym! From start to finish, everything was beautifully organized, fun, and stress-free for us as parents. The staff were incredibly welcoming, energetic, and attentive. They made sure every child felt included, confident, and excited, keeping the group engaged with age-appropriate activities, games, and gymnastics fun. The instructors were patient, upbeat, and truly amazing at managing the kids while still letting them feel free to play and be themselves. The space was clean, bright, and perfectly set up for a birthday celebration. We loved how smoothly the entire party flowed--from playtime to cake--allowing us to relax and genuinely enjoy the moment with our daughter and guests. Our daughter felt so special, and her friends had an absolute blast. Thank you for creating such a joyful, memorable celebration. This was truly a perfect birthday experience, and we would highly recommend The Little Gym to any family looking for a fun, well-run, and unforgettable kids' party!

Great little party place, perfect for the toddler to kinder set. Pros: Very structured party for a 3 year old. Set plans for games, use of parachute and bounce pad, with short times for free play in between tasks. Good control of a fairly large, mixed age group of kids. Clean small party room with toddler size setups. Kids don't have to sit on chairs or benches that are too big. Well kept interior that looked clean and fairly new. Cons: Parking lot is tight and shared with mountain Mike's next door (which, incidentally provides the pizza for these parties). Free time play on the equipment was pretty limited, maybe because of the age group the party was planned for.

All I have to say is WOW! This place is a true gem for children and parents! I had never been here before, but I was frantically searching for a venue for my daughters third birthday. I came across a little gym on Yelp which led me to their webpage. Their online birthday party information was clear, concise and straightforward, and I easily made my reservation. I was promptly contacted by the little gym via email with details about the event, and what to expect. The staff are truly something special! They went above and beyond to make sure my day went as smoothly as possible. They helped me prepare by allowing early drop off for my items, access to the party room refrigerator, unloading my car, setting up and cleaning up. All of the staff and instructors were incredibly sweet and patient! I feel like it's really hard to come across such a good customer service these days, so I was really just so impressed! There is a Mountain Mike's next door, which is super convenient for birthday party catering. The staff will help you prepare your food and cake as well as with serving. The play part of the birthday was so fun for both parents and children. There were two instructors that were leading the children with different activities and games. My kids had a blast and it was really just such a smooth, great time! I highly recommend this place, and again, I am so impressed by the quality of service provided by the staff. ps, the gym is incredibly clean!

Great place for a 5 year old birthday party! We reserved about 2 months in advance and could have done it earlier if we wanted more time options. They have three times lots and we did the 2pm slot which worked out great for us. It's a 2 hour block which comes with 2 staff leading all of the activities and fun. They're super helpful with all ages and super nice. For the lunch you can bring in any meals and drinks (even adult drinks if you want). We brought in our decorations the days before and the host set up all the decorations for us. It looked beautiful. White paper plates, napkins, forks, and even table cloths were provided if needed. The staff helped with passing out the pizza, cutting the cake, and even pack up all the presents. The staff also printed a group photo that they set up and placed in a magnet. Overall my daughter was very happy with her party and we now have a magnet photo to remind us of the memories. I would totally recommend.

hosted my daughter's 3rd birthday party and it was a great experience. i was looking to potentially reschedule because she came down with a cold a few days before, and they were really flexible and understanding, open to changing the date (without me losing the deposit). the staff and teachers there were really great with the kids and there was a mix of organized activities and free play during the 70 min play time slot. it was just so easy for me because they set everything up and took everything down too. all i had to do was drop off the decorations the day before and bring the food, drinks and cake. highly recommend this for a kids birthday.

Thank you Lisa for helping me put up these decorations!

We just had a birthday party tonight and it was so so so fun! Planning a birthday party during a pandemic is not easy, I dreaded it which is why I waited until the last minute to ping around to see if there's any place available for a bday party since my family have all gotten our vaccines. Lisa really made organizing this last minute birthday party super easy, and our instructor Raquel made our whole party feel so special, especially the 2 year old birthday girl. Amazing aspects of this: - Really easy & fair pricing for the party - Planning and arranging was quick and easy - I contacted Lisa via the phone and could text also to share details. - We got the whole place to ourselves! - They really made sure we feel safe, we had masks on while in the gym, and everyone gets temperature checked and washes hands before starting and finishing the gym. (Only small groups allowed right now of 12 or less - call Lisa to learn more) - Gym and facility was very clean - Lisa helped us decorate the wall as a backdrop with the signs and balloons I brought, and she did a much better job than I would. (And I was so touched that she said I (the mom) can go in and have fun too while she helped me decorate - because as moms, we're always the ones behind the scene and making sure everything's ready in a bday party, and for once I can enjoy too - and did my next important task - go in and take lots of photos and videos!) A++++++ - Provided tablecloths and utensils and plates for us - Amazing instructor that made us feel very welcomed and also kids loved her and listened to her - Gave us space to have dinner and also do the cake - Helped us clean up afterwards I would definitely host another party here again, and will try to join in on the weekly classes (unfortunately, the weekend ones are full already). Thank you again to the team at The Little Gym for an amazing birthday party for my daughter. I really appreciate it! We'll be back for more fun soon :D

Our family's experience at Glen Oaks Preschool has been nothing short of wonderful. Our daughter…read morestarted at just two years and eight months old and recently graduated to begin kindergarten. When we were choosing a preschool, we had the unique advantage of living very close to the campus, which gave us a clear view of the daily activities at Glen Oaks, Nature and Nurture, and Millbrae Montessori. While all three are decent schools, Glen Oaks stood out immediately. As new parents, it gave us the greatest sense of assurance and comfort. From the very first day, we knew we had made the right choice. The teachers never talked down to the children, and we were touched to see how the older students naturally looked after our daughter. We learned this is a core part of the school's culture, and we often heard similar feedback from other parents about this nurturing environment. This experience was especially healing for me. I attended a boarding preschool in China as a child and still have nightmares about crying myself to death every week when my mother dropped me off. Seeing my daughter so well-cared for and respected by the teachers at Glen Oaks helped cure those old wounds. Our daughter loved every day there. She was always excited to go in the morning and often didn't want to leave at pickup time, frequently staying to play with her friends on the playground for an extra hour until we had to rush her home at dusk. Most importantly, Glen Oaks prepared her perfectly for kindergarten. She transitioned smoothly and confidently, even though she is the youngest in her class. She was emotionally stable and socially responsible, thanks to her foundation at preschool. We recently attended a birthday party with all her Glen Oaks friends, and it was clear every child is thriving. We cannot recommend Glen Oaks Montesorri highly enough.

From the management to the teachers, they all are so passionate about what they do. The monthly newsletters, cultural activities, mystery readers, music class, Spanish class, gardening, field trips, you have it all. There is so much to learn for the little inquisitive minds. We loved every aspect of it. Thank you Glen Oaks Montessori and we hope you continue to produce confident students ready to face the world!

The following day, I received a message saying they had decided to move forward with another candidate, which I completely understand. Later, I noticed another position had opened and received a phone call to schedule an interview. However, once I introduced myself and reminded the recruiter who I was, the conversation changed. I was told I would receive a text instead, and shortly afterward my application was marked as "Not selected." I respect that employers have the right to choose the candidates they feel are the best fit. My concern is with the inconsistency in communication, which made the hiring process feel confusing and unprofessional. I hope future applicants have a more transparent experience than I did.

The teachers at Building Kidz show so much compassion, patience, and kindness to the kids. They provide snacks and lunch for the kids, plan fun art activities, teach numbers and letters, and send updates on their app. My daughter loved the music classes. There were 2 school wide performances that were so cute. They even had an adorable graduation ceremony! I was shocked to see a negative review, but it made sense when I saw it was written by someone who probably never enrolled a student at Building Kidz. Our yard shares a fence with the school and all I ever hear is kids having fun playing outside. My daughter said they go out to play once in the morning and once in the afternoon, on top of eating snacks and lunch outside if weather is nice. The teachers even help the kids put on sunblock! We recommend Building Kidz to everyone we know and cannot wait for our littlest one to attend in the future.

We sent our younger one to Happy Hall back in August, and he had a very smooth transition from a pandemic sheltered baby to a preschooler. The teachers are all very communicative and we had lots of informative feedbacks at the end of the days. Every day when we pick him up he is beaming with smiles. There was even a time when he fell asleep in one of the teacher's arms, and the teacher just snuggled him the whole time :) ​​ ​​Other than the amazing teachers and the loving environment, we highly appreciate the following as well: ​​Lots of age appropriate hands-on arts and crafts projects ​​Yummy and nutritious food - our little one has put on some nice weight in the past three months ​​Outdoor space - you should check out their playgrounds and the village, it's every kid's dream come true :) ​​Social events - well planned events like the Park Day and the Halloween celebrations. It is clear to us how much effort and time they spent to make sure everyone had a blast. ​​ ​​Looking back, I regret not sending our older one here. She has a lot of amazing things to say about her little brother's school, and she gets very excited whenever she visits Happy Hall (still raving about the HH Halloween parade)! ​​ ​​Thank you from the bottom of our hearts - Ms. Shelley, Ms. Monica, Ms. Michelle, Ms. Jocelyn, Ms. Jacky, Ms. Kenya and many more!

My youngest son now is extremely happy to attend school, he has learned so much while there, the teachers are extremely genuine and caring, and I receive lots of updates (Happy Halls couldn't do). I today continue to receive lots of pictures (compared to the 3 that I received in 5 weeks at Happy Halls). I simply trust the school he attends now. My experience at Stratford is so different. At Happy Halls, leadership (Rachel) managed to proceed to tell me we simply will not provide more updates / pics of your son. Back then, he wasn't even 3 years old. How unsettling can this be for a parent! Comparing now to back then (over 2 year ago now), I'm so happy we switched out. Based on my experience with the teachers and the leadership team, I CANNOT recommend Happy Halls to any family. Please do your research before sending your child here.

They not only learned so much academically but also grew socially, emotionally, and independently thanks to the nurturing and thoughtful environment. Mrs. Rehmane and Ms. Carla are exceptional educators. Their kindness, patience, and genuine love for the children shine through every day.

The school itself is always clean, safe, and calm, and it's clear that FSM follows a true Montessori approach--encouraging independence, curiosity, and hands-on learning.

Before FSM, our kids went to a play-based preschool where they were often bored and unchallenged. Especially our son was craving real learning and engagement. From the moment he started at FSM, we saw a complete transformation--he became full of excitement, curiosity, and joy for learning. He made truly wonderful friends and came home every day excited about what he discovered and determined to continue working on it saying "I don't want to forget what I learned today Daddy!" And all of this is thanks to the incredible Mrs. Rehmane, who is honestly the best teacher I have ever met in my life--from perspectives both as a student and as a parent. She has a true gift for understanding each child's unique strengths and nurturing their potential. She discovered so many talents in our son that we didn't even know he had. What truly stands out about FSM is the lasting care and connection. Even after our children graduated, Mrs. Rehmane has continued to check in on them, invite us to visit, and show genuine interest in their growth, how they're doing. That kind of continued dedication and kindness is so rare, and we're deeply grateful for it. Thank you, Ms. Carla for visiting us in the morning to cheer our kids on their first day at Kindergarten! FSM Montessori is not just a school--it's a community built on love, learning, and genuine care for each child. We feel incredibly lucky to have found it, and we can't recommend it highly enough to any family looking for a truly exceptional school where kids find the joy of learning, caring for each other, and just being amazing.
