Insider tips
- If a faith-based and Christian-oriented environment is important for your child's activities, this center is a strong fit.
- For toddlers and preschoolers, specifically inquire about the MDO or 'Busy Bees' programs and the staff member 'Ms. Micah'.
- **CRITICAL:** Before enrolling, clarify the specific policy regarding absences due to injury or extended illness, particularly if you need a spot held or have siblings attending. Understand if re-enrollment means rejoining a waiting list.
- Take advantage of their free trial classes to experience the environment and coaching style firsthand, especially if comparing to other programs.
Good to know before you go
- If you require flexibility or an accommodating policy for holding your child's spot during injury or extended illness (e.g., for a month).
- If a strong Christian ministry focus and contemporary Christian music are not desired in your child's activity venue.
- **Strict injury/absence policy:** The center does not hold a child's spot if they are injured and miss classes (e.g., for a month). Instead, the injured child is required to go on a waiting list or pick another available day upon recovery, even if a sibling continues to attend, leading to loss of their original spot. This policy was described as 'very sad' and led to one family discontinuing business.
