Brighton Kids Club

Ever since I was introduced to this place, I fell in love with it. I knew this was the perfect place for my younger brother based on how happy he is every time when I pick him up. My younger brother, Daniel, tends to spend most of his time here during the weekend. This not only gives him the opportunity to socialize with the other dozens of kids who attend this place, but develops his skills in art and judo which are the classes he takes part in. The trainer/​coach of the Judo classes even schedules tournaments for the kids. This is a way in which they can progress their rank depicted by their belt color. The coach in general is very motivational for the kids which can boost their self-​confidence and performance. My brother won a few tournaments already which makes him enjoy the sport as he began to realize that he is good at it. My brother’s art classes is also something he takes pride in. Every single class he comes out to show me his creation for the day. The drawings can be influenced by an upcoming holiday. He sometimes draws a picture of me or my family which puts a smile on my face knowing he loves me :) The class always gets the work done even if the time is up. My brother has defiantly improved his art skills ever since his first class. The place itself is very friendly with it’s murals on the wall which remind you of your childhood activities such as skateboarding. They even have a place in which you can keep your strollers and such so you don’t have to take it with you while waiting for your child. The place is kept very clean for the kids. The teachers always take care of the mess after every class. The whole staff can be seen to be very attentive to all the kids they work with. The place is run by 2 friendly people by the names of Sveta and Sasha. They always provide you with useful information about classes and such. You always receive confirmation about the classes your child is/​will be taking. More activities such as dance, tutoring, robotics, etc. are provided for the kids in which you can choose from. This is definitely a place you might want to look into for your kid as nothing negative can be really said. This is definitely one of my best discoveries :)

This place is wonderful. My son has different activities 7 days a week: judo, yoga, art, chess, drama, Russian. The teachers are great and the overall environment is amazing. We are so thankful to you guys for the services you provide. At this point my son cannot imagine his life without Brighton Kids Club.

I have a young cousin, 4 years old. My uncle asked me whether I knew any after-​school/​weekend recreational centers for young children, as it seems my cousin has reached an age where he is very active and gets bored very easily with things. Not knowing any places like that, I did some preliminary research for places in the neighborhood and narrowed down my results to about 3 places. Subsequently, I learned that one of my co-worker’s son, who is about the same age as my cousin, comes to this place. From what my co-​worker told me, she really likes this places, so does her son. Based on that recommendation, I decided to bring my cousin here.
Initially, we were given great tour by Svetlana and were explained all the activities that this place offers, which are plenty. They have everything a young child needs from pre and after school tutoring in math and other subjects, to judo wrestling classes, to bunch of art courses like painting. I decided to sign my cousin up for judo and painting. It has been about a month and a half now and my cousin loves this place. He attends judo classes 3 times a week, and on the weekends he does painting classes. He also likes that fact that there are many children of his age with whom he made friends with, and everyone is very nice and friendly. The instructors are all nice. There is constant supervision, kids are always in a safe environment. I am especially happy with the fact that they have cameras installed in every room where kids are playing, this makes me feel safe about my little cousin. They also offer snacks and drinks for the little ones on the regular basis. They are open 7 days a week, which is so convenient in case I have to keep my cousin occupied. If you have a young child, you cannot go wrong in bringing them here as there are many activities that you can participate it for a very reasonable price. This place is a life saver!

You know you found the right place to send your child when you’re the grown up that wishes they were able to participate in all the amazing activities a school like this has to offer! JEALOUS!
I’ve been taking my son here for a few months now and he seems to be really enjoying all the classes they have to offer here. He always is jumping out of his skin, exciting and ready for each class to start, and he ends wanting to go to another.
But, first of all, and more importantly (in my opinion) why as a mother, and conscious adult, I LIKE IT HERE:
You walk upstairs and you’re welcomed by this gorgeous mural, it takes up three walls surrounding you. It make me feel like a kid again. And even for my son, he said WOW ITS AMAZING. I saw him looking and examining it carefully and pointing out specific details of the mural, he loved it. It turned on his active mind, just from this I saw he was ready to start learning here.
Then, I was greeted by the kind, informative and professional Svetlana. She is the head honcho there and one of the teachers as well. As new comers she welcomed us with refreshments and snacks and began answering all 562 of my questions.
I actually was surprised by her knowledge; even further surprised with the variety of classes and activities they have to offer.
Mommy & Me, Karate, Judo, Yoga, Gymnastics, Dance, Music, Arts & Crafts, Sculpting, Tutoring… These are only A FEW of the activities my poor brain can remember.
She took her time to explain all of the classes in depth to me, as well as provide a schedule and price list. She explained how they offer «bundles» in which you can buy X-​amount of classes for the month, semester, whatever terminology for a much lower price. So for the hell of it I FIRST bought the kids Karate class bundle for my son.
I was scared he was going to be to young, and maybe a little scared to participate in this type of class setting with other kids. But I don’t know, something awakened him at Brighton Kids Club and he fell in love with the other, OLDER kids and he loves the class and the teacher. He runs around in their big «sports» room and he has a blast!
After a few classes, the one karate class wasn’t enough for him and he asked me for something else to do. So he decided he also wanted an art class. He has been loving that just as much and has been bringing home masterpieces and demanding them to be framed and hung, my little cutie!
Overall amazing experience here. They have many seats in the main room for adults to sit and wait. Or sometimes I sit on the bench in the sports room to watch. But a lot of times I also have enough time to run out for a mani/​pedi or get some fabulous groceries on Brighton.
It’s really a great location, and an even better facility. I have recommended to many of my «Mommy friends», so now my son has his buddies with him.
