Some of the toddler class teachers do a good job overall but other teachers cannot watch all the children to maintain safety. One day there was one very young instructor watching the toddlers. She let the children spread out in the gym, and she lost track of students. Out of natural curiosity the children began playing on things they liked, and she did not notice even when the toddlers were at risk of being so high up and falling off. I took my child out of the class at that moment, and we will never return. I question the training of the staff at least in the young children classes, which implies there is a lack of oversight of instructors.ADDED IN RESPONSE TO WINGS REPLY 4/8/21: when a student misses a class, you can take a make up class another day of the week, and we also switched from our original class due to time constraint, so our child had 3, maybe 4 different primary instructors in her time there. Like I wrote in my original review, some instructors do a fine job, while others, as we experienced, did not. It is not that ā€œI feelā€ this way (per Wings response), this is what I saw, and what other parents were commenting on in the gallery but didnā€™t do anything more. I told the owner on our way out what happened and why and she did allow us to end our contract. These events, especially involving kids, are important, and after time and reflection, this event still did not sit well with me. Class size of 6:1 does not matter if the instructor is a poor one. Maybe this is no longer the situation there, but maybe it is. I would hope a business would engage in continued introspection and growth after in person feedback, but such might be forced from a Google review, and then hopefully nobody has to post a comment like this again-itā€™s not something I enjoy doing.

What a great fun, structured and supportive learning environment for kids! Love the staff and kids do, too. They encourage kids through example and assistance to have fun while learning proper technique. Canā€™t say enough positive about our childā€™s experience here.
