I don’t often leave reviews, even after mediocre experiences—but I felt compelled to write about our visit here.
I brought both of my children to attend a classmate’s birthday party. My younger child had to come along since my husband was at work. I offered to pay for him in advance, but the host kindly mentioned there was an extra spot and it would be fine. However, once we were seated, it became clear that nothing had been prepared for him—no materials, no seat, and no acknowledgment. I immediately told the staff I’d like to pay for the additional participant, hoping to avoid any awkwardness for the host family, and I did so promptly.
Despite that, my younger child was overlooked throughout the event. He was treated more like an inconvenience than a welcomed participant. At one point, another child took his stuffed toy and caused some distress, which the staff witnessed but made no effort to address. When pizza was served, his place was left empty without even a check-in from anyone. No cake, no guidance, and no inclusion in the main activity—everyone received their "adoption certificate" except him, though he waited patiently.
It was disheartening to feel that my child—an eager, well-behaved little one—was so obviously excluded. What should have been a joyful day ended up feeling discriminatory and humiliating.
Additionally, the paints used during the event were not washable, and my child’s clothes were badly stained. For a venue designed for young children, that’s a significant oversight.
I hope this feedback serves as a reminder that running a business centered on children requires not just activities, but attention, care,...
Read moreI really wanted to love this camp, but unfortunately, it just didn’t live up to expectations. I was hoping for a space where kids could explore, be creative, and learn something new — but that’s not this case What stood out most was how little the activities were tailored to different age groups. Kids as 11 years old were doing the exact same things as six- year-olds, with no adjustments at all. It felt very cookie-cutter, like everyone was just doing the same thing every day, without much thought to individual interests or abilities.
There wasn’t a sense of creativity or excitement — no moments where the kids could really express themselves or try something new. Honestly, it felt more like going through the motions than being in a fun, enriching environment.
It’s disappointing because summer camp should be a time for kids to grow, explore, and be inspired for your dollars. But one good thing if you need some babysitting this may work great for you , but Sadly, that just wasn’t our experience. I wouldn’t recommend it to families looking for something engaging or developmentally...

Hannah, the owner, has built a safe environment full of creativity, kindness and love. The teachers are so kind to the kids and to everyone who walks through the door.
