Kidtastics

I will hire Kidtastics lifeguard services again. Having Jacob as our lifeguard made the party enjoyable for me, my husband and children. My son who is turning 6 asked for a swim party. I was glad to accommodate, but had one deep concern, allowing 15 – 20 children of varying ages and swim levels in our family pool. I wanted all the family members to have fun, but knew that what often happens is every parent is focused on watching their child and doesn’t get a chance to interact, eat or even get up to use the restroom, leading to a less than fun party experience. Plus, personally I worry so much about someone getting hurt that often my husband and I alternate lifeguard duty just to be safe, leaving us less time to enjoy the celebration. with Kidtastic’s Jacob on life guard duty, I was in the pool having fun, my husband got to socialize, other parents were able to eat, laugh, look away for a moment and trust that their child was safe. Best kid’s pool party I have ever thrown.

I absolutely love this company! Laurie and her swim instructors are amazing. We originally hired them for private swim lessons with our neighbor, 45 minutes for two weeks. My 3 year old son LOVES Mr. Juan!!! My son immediately went right to him, honestly I was hesitant at first because a male instructor and they tell you to not be outside with them because it’s distracting, my son did amazing and Juan was so professional! My son was a champ by the end of the two weeks and was so much further advanced than the 2 years we did 1xweek swim lessons. We have just hired Juan again for another two week session because he went from just jumping to dad to full on swimming in two weeks so this last session is to perfect the breathing and swim strokes. I highly recommend kidtastics to everyone! They have already been hired by my sister who loves them as well!

I got a call 3 days prior to our confirmed swim course from 1 month ago that they could only do 4 sessions not 8 session. How can a child learn even basic water safety in 4 thirty minute sessions? Why would you even offer 4 sessions when you know that it wont be enough to get anything accomplished in a 4 yr old w/​special needs. If you cant offer the confirmed sessions to parents, then tell them in advance so they can find other instructors and not completely miss out on the summer oppurtunity for swim lessions. Three days prior is completely unprofessional. Its so sad and discouraging that this place says they work with special needs kids. The top priority in working with special needs kids is professionalism and reliability. Not «im sorry», «we got busy» or «we need you to be flexible». Special needs places and instructors need to be flexible. The special needs kid is not flexible. Get your facts straight. If you are looking for swim lessions for special needs, skip this place.

Thank you so much Kidtastics for another amazing year of swim lessons! Swim lessons with you guys are amazing because you not only teach the kiddos new skills but you customize the lessons to each kids needs.

My toddler has been taking swim lessons with Kidtastics for the past two summers. They have the best instructors. My daughter is so shy, but she loves Mrs. Laurie and Mr. Juan. When we first started, she couldn’t do anything in the water but hold onto us, and now she’s swimming underwater, floating on her back, and jumping off the side. She’s made such big steps in a small period of time. Love Kidtastics!

Laurie and the Kidtastics team are fantastic! My daughter & I have taken gymnastics and swim lessons with her and have loved it! The classes are well designed and the teachers are amazing with the kids. I HIGHLY recommend Kidtastics to anyone looking for classes for their kiddos!

My 2.5 year old loves Mrs. Laurie! She is fantastic with my son, creative in her swim instruction, and excellent in rewarding good behavior/​listening/​learning. This is his second season with her and is nearly swimming all by himself! She makes it fun. In addition, the private lessons make it so easy for us because she comes to our home.
Thank you Mrs. Laurie and Kidtastics! It’s been truly great.

Can’t say enough god things about Kidtastics! This is our fourth summer of swim lessons with Kidtasics and my son is officially a swimmer! at 3 years old I love that the instructors come to our home. They do a great job of making time in the pool fun and educational. All of our instructors have been courteous and timely and they do a great job of keeping the kids engaged. I would recommend Kidtastics to anyone looking for a phenomenal swim program!

I absolutely love working with Lori! She is so attentive to my grandson while in her care! Very careful to pay attention to his individual needs and the whole experience has turned out to be just amazing! Thank you Lori! Kidtastics is GREAT!

My 3 year-​old son took the Kidtastics gymnastic classes and really liked them, so I signed him up for the 2 week– intensive swim lessons over the summer.
At the beginning of the 2 week period, my son couldn’t swim at all — he hated to get his face wet and didn’t want to go under water. By the time Laurie got through with him he was swimming the width of the pool under water, floating on his back by himself, retrieving rings from the bottom of the pool (assisted) and loving swimming like he never had before.
We can’t wait to sign up again next year!

Great staff that really go the extra mile for kids.

I can’t say enough good things about Miss Molly and Kidtastics! My kids are three and five, and they are SWIMMING! We actually live in San Diego, but were visiting grandma in Scottsdale. Miss Molly and Laurie were very accommodating and were able to fit us into their schedule during our visit. The techniques Miss Molly used were EXCELLENT and focused on safety in the water. She was also incredibly patient, and kept the lessons fun. And after just six lessons, Miss Molly was able to accomplish what the Y was unable to do after months and months of lessons! My son went from insisting on wearing a swim vest to swimming with confidence and my daughter went from refusing to put her face in the water to swimming back and forth UNDER the water!

Kidtastics is amazing and very professional. This is our 4^th summer having our children take private swim lessons from Ms. Heidi and Ms. Laurie. They are fantastic and always bring laughter, safety tips, and strong swim lesson techniques all wrapped up in fun for the kids. I strongly endorse their services.

Our son has been in their gymnastics for kids program for over a year. He loves it! He does it once a week and he wakes up looking forward to it and goes to bed talking about it — so great to see him feeling great about himself, and most importantly, falling in love with exercise, fitness and sports. Thanks Kidtastics!

A FANTASTIC business run by fantastic people.
Our son, who is developmentally delayed, began taking gymnastics at his school last year. The instructors are kind and patient, but importantly, have rules that the kids need to follow. The environment was structured, fun and creative. It was amazing to watch the progress the kids in class made.
Gymnastics went so well that we signed up for private swim lessons at our home this past summer. Again, amazing. In a few short weeks, our son went from very little pool skills to swimming by himself, diving, and kick-​boarding. The instructor started every lesson with pool safety and tailored each lesson to our son.
We’re back in gymnastics this year. We’ll sign up for just about anything Kidtastics offers.

I want to second how incredible our second summer has been with our 5 year old daughter and the private swimming lessons. Her progress has been tremendous and if it wasn’t for a few vacations we would have continued for several more sessions.
Highly recommend Laurie and her staff!

We are so thankful for finding Kidtastics!!!
Our 4 yr old daughter has had tremendous results under Laurie’s swimming instruction! She has had a fear of water, and Laurie has spent the last two summers getting her comfortable with the water, gain basic skills, and learn important water safety. This week, she has had her «breakthrough» and is now eager to get in the pool and show everyone what she can do! She is diving underwater, jumping in, working on stroke development, holding her breath underwater, and flipping over on her back. We are absolutely amazed!
We had our lessons held at our home privately, which was wonderful and very convenient. I do know they also provide classes at community centers in developments around the valley. They also have dance, cheer, and gymnastics lessons at schools and we’re certainly looking to add them to our daughter’s lineup of activities in the Fall.
Kidtastics has fantastic instructors — they all have your child’s interest, safety, and growth at heart. They are true professionals that have an incredible talent for teaching kids. Our daughter loves «Miss Laurie» and is always excited for her lessons.
Swimming and water safety lessons are a must for children in Arizona, as pools are everywhere and so many summertime activities involve water. If you are considering swim lessons for you child, you will not be disappointed with Kidtastics!

A friend of ours referred us to Laurie at Kidtastics. Our son was about 1.5 and eager to get into the pool and we wanted to ensure he was taking swim lessons to get comfortable with the water and worked on key skills.
Laurie and the team at Kidtastics are great — they are knowledgeable, patient, very instructive, fun, and take a genuine interest in your child.
Over the past year, there have been two or three times when my son was having «a bad day» and was unwilling to go into the pool or swim during our scheduled lesson. Laurie really tried to get our son calmed down, worked with him to try and go swim, and if he wasn’t up for it she’d reschedule the lesson for us at no charge.
Our son is now almost three and has made great strides — he has developed great skills, really loves the water, and has learned many basic safety skills (always counting before jumping in, not swimming without an adult, turning and swimming back to the wall if he jumps in, etc.). Obviously he still must be monitored at all times but it’s nice to know that he’s learning the importance of certain techniques around the pool.
Kidtastics also does gym programs and other activities — both at community centers and schools.
I would definitely recommend Laurie and the Kidtastics team to anyone interested in swim lessons for their kids, activity programs for their community, or activity-​based parties for kids.
