Gymboree Play & Music

Excellent facility and staff. My son is 11 months old and has attended 7 music classes. The class is very interactive and includes: singing, drums, maracas, bells, balls, scarves, and is an excellent opportunity for parents to see their child progress from one week to the next.
I also took him to the Halloween parade, but he wasn’t walking and I think it would have been much more developmentally appropriate if he were walking. He did enjoy a couple activities, but many were beyond his abilities. Tons of Kodak moments for toddlers!
At one of my son’s music classes, another boy turned 1 and received a ball with a balloon attached to it. All the students were interested in the balloon and it was a natural encouragement for them to interact with each other during the group music play time.
Be sure to call and register. Don’t register on line because the on line registration fee is sometimes more than the individual franchise charges for registration.
Children are allowed to be barefoot, but all adults are asked to leave their shoes at the front door and wear socks. Don’t forget your socks!

My daughter and I were attending the classes when she was 3 months old to about 18 months. Every teacher she had was caring and interactive to her needs. Linda is the best! My daughter did not care to join in activities with the rest of the chidlren but when Linda came around, she was all about playing with her and completely forgot about Mommy.
They are very clean and conscientious of cleanliness. If they were only closer to us, we could still take classes.

We’ve been bringing our daughter here for a year, and when she starts preschool this fall and leaves Gymboree we will all be sad. The teachers are terrific (Molly’s obsessed with Miss Linda, and Miss Susie and Miss Jess’ca come in close right behind her) and the owner, Adam, is always so friendly and helpful. The place is super clean and well staffed, the classes aren’t overcrowded, and there’s a nice selection of toys in the lobby to tempt you. They offer art and music in addition to the regular Gymboree classes. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.
