The annual shows, Follies, Nutcracker, spring ballet and the end of year productions, gave participating students a time to showcase their talents in all genres. The community is always very supportive and welcoming of new families. I certainly would recommend MSA to anyone interested in dance, acting, musical theater and private music lessons.

I know there are so many who rave about Metropolitan School of Arts but honestly there is so much…read morethat goes on be hind the scenes, children get ignored and dismissed and the parent in my opinion looses money. My mini started with the summer program in 2025 which was great, so my daughter wanted to try additional programs in the 2026SY. Fall 2025 we signed up for the home school program and musical theatre class. The homeschool program allowed bullying by other students, my child's concerns were not being addressed until I started communicating with staff that I would file suit if my child was assaulted again. There seem to be many moments where children were left unattended which is how the bullying was able to happen in the first place. The children who did the bullying were allowed to continue in the home school program despite negatively impacting multiple students within the program and in my opinion the parents of the bullies were coddled instead of being reprimanded or terminated from the program. The musical theatre class I feel like I threw $1095 down the drain. Class was posted to start at 4:45pm on Fridays and end at 5:45pm however; an full hour of class only happened twice during enrollment, there was always a substitute teacher, and students were released at 5:20, 5:25 and 5:30pm regularly. On top of not having 1 hour classes which was posted, the finale performance was confusing so I missed the performance while literally standing in line to see my daughter perform. Needless to say we will NOT be returning! The 1 and 2 star reviews are very much so accurate! BELIEVE THEM!!!

My injuries have always been accommodated, my questions have always been answered, and the instructors have always been incredibly kind to me. Especially as a woman, I've been to other martial arts gyms where it was not welcoming or safe for women, instructors were inappropriate, etc. however at Krav Maga NOVA, instructors are respectful, ask for consent to touch you to demo something, and create a safe place to train.

This review is for the NOVA Early Learning II which is attached the the strip mall next to the…read moresmoothie shop. My son went there from 6mths old to 17 mths old. I'm giving 3 stars because most of his time there was in the infant room and I want to start by saying the infant room teachers are fabulous. It seems they really get to know the babies, their habits, and personalities very well and they were truly so loving towards my son. Never once did he cry and not want to go into class when we dropped him off... until he was switched to the toddler room at 16 months. I didn't feel the same warm, inviting feeling from the toddler teachers. My son was hesitant going to that class. And within the first 2 weeks, he had had 3 accident reports that left bumps and bruises for days. We had been able to find a new day care, but he was going to be staying at the NOVA early learning academy for 2 more weeks. After giving the 2 weeks notice, I began getting a strong sense that the teachers were a bit indifferent towards him. He would be penned up with maybe one other child or by himself. Something just felt off. Then when picking him up towards the end of that first week, he ran over to me and I had to pull an OPEN STAPLE from his mouth. The teachers barely seemed concerned. No apologies from them at all. Just an excuse the HE must have pulled it from the bulletin born in the classroom (that is all within the kids' reach). The director eventually called to apologize.... But my trust in them was completely lost. I didn't bring him back there to finish his last week. I should have trusted my gut. And I'm thankful, I caught it in his mouth as soon as he ran up to me.

I also have neighbors who have praised this center. Although, my child was never actually enrolled…read more- I did tour the center for the infant rooms. I have to say, especially for the infant 1 room.. I was not impressed. 1) There are 16 babies are ages 3-4 weeks - 16 months. That's a HUGE age and developmental range. And 16 babies? Wow! 2) 3-4 weeks is SO young. I seriously cannot imagine they have all their necessary vaccinations to be protected in group care at that age. Most centers do not allow children under 6 weeks into group care. I have to wonder why this center does. 3) Besides the range being so wide, there is no separation, logical or otherwise, of older/younger infants. While I was touring, an older baby maybe 12 months or so, climbed on top of a very young sleeping infant in a bouncer and woke them up. Now I will get to my primary complaint: 4) The administration is incompetent and above all else, they are rude! We put our daughter on the wait list for this center. We were told in September of 2014 there would be a spot available for her in March 2015. When we called in December once our daughter was born to check in and make sure a spot would be available, they told us that there would no longer be a spot available in March, but there would be one in May. I wasn't thrilled, but eh, okay.. I guess. THEN, we called back in January to check in on status (they request you call once a month... for some unknown reason) they told us they wouldn't have a spot for her until DECEMBER of 2015. September of 2014 - December of 2015. The classroom only holds babies for 16 months! They could fill the ENTIRE class up in that amount of time. We called, very upset, and visited to get clear answers. They refused to admit they skipped us on the waiting list. They insisted they give 'preference' to current enrolled families. I totally get that. But it takes 9 months to gestate a baby. The math doesn't add up. September 14 - December 15, makes us at 15 months on the waiting list. The classroom only holds babies for 16 months! They would be refilling the whole class by that point. Again, the math just doesn't add up. They obviously skipped us on the list for some reason or another and didn't even bother apologizing. During our visit, their demeanor was hostile and their overall response was appalling. They were rude. They were deceitful - and I just wouldn't trust them being the leadership where my child spends 8+ hours a day. Look for somewhere who values your child, your family and is honest and upfront with you. This is NOT that place.

I had a very disappointing experience with the Spring Flagship at The St. James Sports Complex. The…read morecustomer service is honestly some of the worst I've dealt with at a facility like this. One of their representatives, Daisy, was especially rude and disrespectful when I tried to ask simple questions. Instead of helping, she seemed annoyed and dismissive the entire time. On top of that, their website is extremely unhelpful and rarely has up-to-date information. It makes it frustrating to try to find accurate details about schedules, amenities, or programs. The condition of the facility itself is also very disappointing for a place that promotes itself as a premium sports complex. The pool house is constantly messy and poorly maintained, and the gyms are in some of the worst condition I've seen at a facility like this. Equipment and areas often look neglected, which really makes you question how well the place is being managed. Overall, between the poor customer service, lack of reliable information on their website, and the condition of the facilities, I wouldn't recommend the Spring Flagship location. There are much better-run gyms and sports facilities in the area.
