Gymboree Play & Music

The gym area was dirty. It was the morning class we took so I have to assume they do not clean the room in the morning or in the end of the day. My son constantly found dirt and garbage, tried to eat them, and I had to chase him to take those away. That’s an extra work for moms. Their gym has wooden equipment which are not very safe for new walkers. I found unprotected corners in the room and I felt very uneasy when my son walked around in that room. They have a tiny room for music downstairs and the room was packed when I peeked. The teacher does not play instruments so kids do not have a chance to get exposed to live music like other music classes. The sales representative (possibly a manager) was rude and pushy. I went to many other kids’ places but I am sure Gymboree in UES is not the one I want to bring my son to.

My 18 month old son LOVES Gymboree! My husband and I are excited to wake up early on Saturday mornings to take him. The staff is friendly and professional. He loves to interact with the kids, and climb all over the place. I am very happy that we introduced him to Gymboree, and it is a much needed family experience. I must admit, I cried the first time!

I have been taking my one-​year old daughter here for a little over a month, and she loves it! She gets so excited every time we go. The weekly class is good, but I really like that I can take her to «open gym» almost every day if we wanted to. They have more classes to choose from (and at better times) than their competitors.
