3 months agoAs an educator and nanny to my grandchildren, I highly recommend Bash Kids Club. My granddaughter went for a Butterfly Social class. The class was small today, but she still had a great time. During the 2 hours, the kids had some guided free play, story time, snack time (healthy snacks provided), group activity, game time, and craft time. I was happy to see the teacher, Ms. Alejandra, cheerfully interacting with the kids and encouraging a shy friend to join as he was able. I was also happy to see how clean and attractive the space is. Caregivers are invited to drop off or stay. I chose to stay in the comfy waiting area. I could have easily brought my laptop and gotten some work done there.
