Gymboree Play & Music

We joined for a few weeks to see if our kids would like it and every time we went the kids would get sick and then we couldn’t go for a week or two so after a two month membership we only went about 4 times. We go to other gyms for months and the kids never get sick so I’m a little concerned about how clean this location is. First, the toys are dumped out on the floor and the kids grab them and put their mouths on them and then they are put back in the basket. Are they cleaned? I’m not sure because as we leave a new group comes in. The instructors were never able to gain full control of the group 2 of them were very young and one of them was so into his singing he didn’t engage the children at all! My kids ran away and my son went to the front gate asking to get back into the car because he wanted to leave. yikes! In addition, the bathroom is in the play area and once someone was sick and the whole place smelled during the entire play time. I know the location of the bathroom cannot be changed but perhaps management should have made sure it was clean and odor free before a paying class begins. I couldn’t wait to get out of there!

The price is right and my son had a really good time. Came in here to check this place out and came away very impressed. The gym was clean and Mrs. Joya, the teacher explained that the toys are wiped down after every use and new toys are consistently brought out.
Mrs. Joya was amazing and we signed up immediately after our first class. The manager and staff have been there for over 10 years and they still seem very passionate about their business. I definitely recommend bringing your little one here for the classes as they have options for all ages.

I bring my little nephew here twice a week and he loves it! Best place in the whole world for little kids.

Had my son’s birthday there. The staff was great and accommodating. Everything came out promptly. All the kids had a amazing time.

We’ve been going here for the past month and the staff has been great! Our son loves the class and I have been impressed with everything. Highly recommend the classes at Gymboree!

On Sunday we visited Gymboree for a 1^st birthday party, I was very excited to see what they had to offer. After much reflection I was confused by the whole thing: First we were greeted by an employee who handed me a pair of socks because it was unsanitary for me to enter the playroom barefoot (fair enough), however many strollers were allowed in and the bathrooms were located in the play area where I observed 4 people walking too without shoes. The start of the party was free play in which the children were encouraged to explore. The young employee hosting the party loudly announced for us to join in for circle time in which she poured a bunch of instruments out of a laundry basket on the floor and proclaimed it was music time and started shaking some maracas my son along with several others used them as teething toys. As soon as music time was over I asked where we should put the contaminated ones and she casually threw it in the pile with the rest. I could go on with the sanitary issues, ie only one bottle of hand sanitizer available but I feel the point has been made. The young employee setup a couple activities for the children but never gained control of the group, she seemed to be way in over her head. There was an additional employee who seemed to be working cleanup and it was a good thing because she had piercings in her lip an other areas of her face. Bottom line here is this place was not sanitary and was not run very professionally. I know I am talking about a children’s birthday party, however it should be taking very seriously it is there job to provide a fun, clean environment.
