Greatest place on earth, if they served Happy Meals, just have one waiting in the car after your little one is done and you're considered awesome for at least 24 hours all because of The Little Gym

I was there for Sunday class. The teacher was nice but I think the teacher/student ratio was bad. 1 teacher 11 toddlers in our class. $39 for 45 mins class I expected better ratio so kids can get more teacher’s time. The teacher had to set up equipment, play music, put stuff away, also communication, left very little time to actually teach toddlers 1:1. Not sure it’s particularly for Sunday class or all classes ratio is like this. Would love a better ratio if possible.(Updated) Reply to the owner: 1/18 ratio is okay as long as it reflects in the price. The price $39 for 45 mins with 1/18 is too expensive. I think if the price is around $20 it makes more sense with that ratio and I’d love to come back.

Perfect birthday event for 15 kids ages 2 - 12. Our son’s 4th birthday party today was so fun and the kids loved running around the obstacle course. The staff were super friendly and kept the kiddos entertained for the hour and a half that we booked the center. They handled all the cleanup too! Totally recommend it! Thank you!

Very unfortunately, this is not the same Little Gym that we we loved when we joined back in 2019 (and we supported when they were closed throughout the pandemic). Understandably, the entire teaching staff turned over (we miss Teacher Mac!) when they closed. However, even when they're re-opened and we went back in Sep 2021, their staff has consistently went through new teachers every month for my son's class. All of the high-ratings for this facility were pre-covid, and it is definitely not the same place.A new, inexperienced teacher took over my 3yr old son's class for the first time earlier this month. She was unable to handle the 6 children in the class and did not have all of them in sync at most points in the class. Throughout the course of the class, her template flared, her voice was rising and she was visibly showing frustration. At 40min into the 50min class, she forcibly threw my son to the floor prying a hula hoop out of his hands. Myself and the other 5 parents watched gasped in horror as my son screamed in terror at this assault. I gave her feedback on another suggestion of what she could have done to regain control of the situation and she instead denied the incident happened (which we have recorded).That being said, I had asked the manager for a refund for the services not rendered for March as my son appropriately said he was too scared to return to her class. And while the manager admitted what happened was very wrong, she said it was a learning experience for this untrained teacher and that the teacher would need to continue with that class as they don't have the staff otherwise.I highly recommend others take their children to Arena Sports Magnuson and participate in their Lil Kickers program or try Ballard Gymnastics Academy. The coaches there are actually trained on how to interact with children and the staff is very empathetic.
