Mountain kids keeps your kids active and engaged during the summer. With mini field trips gymnastics, dance, swim lessons and other structured activities. Our kid loves going and wants to go even when we dont need childcare during the day.

Scheduled classes for both of my kiddos here. My toddler was in gymnastics and my 8 year old was in swim lessons. The gymnastics was so bad that I never went back. The instructor never introduced herself even though we were obviously new to her class, she never worked with my son even though we were struggling. And then she LEFT US STUCK IN THE FOAM PIT. My son and I both left mid lesson in tears. Then we had swim lessons...the first two sessions got canceled because their pool heater broke. Then when she did have her lesson it was rushed and terrible. She left totally discouraged and disappointed. Then their pool heater broke again and they canceled all of our lessons. What a terrible experience. If I could give zero stars I would.

Mountain kids is an exceptional place for kids to learn and grow. We have participated in just about every program available and have loved coming here. I particularly enjoy the preschool program. Deanna and fellow teachers do a great job prepping students for kindergarten in a playful environment. All of my children have grown up here and Im thankful for the experience mountain kids has provided.

Honestly, we loved this place for a long time and we were long time costumers. My son has a disability. I was hesitant to sign him up for summer camp. They knew him and knew about his behavior issues. I asked for a reasonable accommodation (one that didn’t cost them any money and didn’t charge their programming). They flat out said no. But they also told me not to worry. It would be fine. I gave the counselor a letter from my son’s OT with suggestions on how to help him. They didn’t do any of it. Needless to say, it didn’t go well. They told my son he had been kicked out before they finalized that with me. When I picked him up, he was crying and said he should be in jail. Really? They violated his ADA rights and made him feel terrible. Think twice about this place. And if your kid has any issues, don’t go here.As an aside, bathrooms and changing rooms are gross.

My daughter has gone to two gymnastics classes, and so far they’ve been great. I have a wild toddler who needs to get her energy out and the moonbeamers class is great for that. Not only are they teaching gymnastics skills but also educating them on letters, numbers and colors. My daughter stays home with me so it’s nice to have this class to get her used to a classroom environment. So far I definitely recommend!

My child had an amazing experience with camp at Mountain Kids. She looked forward to being there every day and brought home proudly all sorts of crafts she made that day. The teachers were kind and professional. And she was tired at the end of each day with all the activities they did. I highly recommend this place for camp. We will be back next year.

Overall the swimming lessons were good. The program was well organized and you could tell it was a well oiled machine. I wouldve personally preferred a swim teacher with a little more experience with that age group, but thats my only complaint.

By far the best swim lessons I have seen for kids- the pool is warm and in a lovely setting with excellent instructors and communication from office staff etc. They also have done a great job this year making safety accommodations during the pandemic.

Wonderful place! Staff is extremely nice and super easy to work with, they got my daughter in the same day we called and scheduled our next appointment as conveniently as possible. Everyone made not only us parents but our daughter feel pleasantly welcomed and as comfortable as possible, highly recommend this place!

We absolutely LOVE Mountain Kids preschool & gymnastics. Our daughter attends preschool M/W/F, which includes a gymnastics class. We recently switched over from one of the big childcare centers in town and the difference weve seen is amazing. Our daughter comes home happier. Shes excited to go to school. She gets much more one-on-one attention. Education-wise, shes learned more in the last 2 months than the last 2 years. Her teacher is engaging and caring. The fact that her gymnastics class is during school hours is perfect. She gets to take gymnastics, but its not cutting away from our evening or weekend family time. Plus, they have an onsite coffee shop. What more could a mom ask for? :)

I love my daughters teacher, Miss Amber!!! She is so wonderful with the kids in her class and my daughter just loves her and going to preschool!Only reason for not a full 5-stars is due to to gymnastics portion. I feel like she is bored during gymnastics as it’s not as challenging as her gymnastics class outside of mountain kids. They have it structured to age specific rather than skill level. She is in a more advanced class elsewhere and she is more attentive and learns more.Looking forward to next year and then also sending my son in a couple years.

Put both of my kids in preschool and gymnastics here, exceptional! As a former preschooler of Mountain Kids myself (about 22 years ago) there was no doubt when choosing a place for my kids. Loving, fun, educational, and structured... no where better !

We do the young kids class and free gym. My little one loves it. They have beams, a foam pit, lots of mats and obstacle courses and Tons of other stuff. It’s great to introduce kiddos to following instruction and being in a class situation. The instructors set up an obstacle course and then rotated them to other activities. The facility also has some snacks, a little coffee shop and some gymnastics outfits for sale. I feel like the price for the little kids is too expensive. It’s about twenty bucks for a 45 minute class. But, it has a lot of benifits. Especially since my little goes to a small daycare and is an only child.

My kids have been going here since they were toddlers for gymnastics, swim lessons and summer camp. Now my older son is on one of the boys teams and he has such an awesome time. The staff is great and the kids love coming here.

Working in the medical field I hold a certain level of professionalism and standards. This place was by far not even close to being professional. I showed up approx 10 min early due to my conversation on the phone with the front desk. She was excited to get my son started and to have him in. She advised me that she’d give me a tour and answer any questions I had (due to me having patients and being rushed on the phone on my end) she said she’d talk to me more about the gymnastics program. I show up and instead of a welcome her first response was “well you’re early” . Didn’t even introduce herself. She then proceeded to give me a “tour” and by that I mean she walked me around the corner and merely said you set your things in those cubby’s, pointed at the “instructor” keep in mind there’s a million kids running around and instructors, and then that was it. Confused on who was the instructor, where I had to be, I let my toddler roam around the edge of the gym area. Being a curious toddler of course he sprints out of reach and as I’m returning to the edge with him the “instructor” very rudely stated” yeah no you have to stay over there until the class starts” . I asked what time the class was and she stated 10:15, when I asked the time she simply kept walking. 10:15 come and I was told to stand by the cubbies and she’d come get me... few minutes pass . I saw her starting but I still didn’t know if that was indeed his “instructor” I go to the front desk to ask again, and she’s like oh that’s weird she normally will grab you from there. Okay. My issue with this whole place was how unprofessional everyone was. If someone brings their 1st kid for their FIRST TIME, please don’t assume they know what their doing. If you want my money please act like you care. I feel like if I would of came in my scrubs they would have treated me a lot differently. Thanks for wasting my time, def do not recommend . Left within 30 min of my arrival as well due to no one formally introducing themselves, not a clean environment, and the whole place just felt super uncomfortable. Word of advice: toddlers are naturally curious, it’s in their psychology. Please don’t make a parent try to “tame” a 2 year old in a little corner when there are a million things they’ve never seen before everywhere. Have a waiting area.

Stopped by the other day and met the lovely D at the front desk for some paperwork. She gave me a brief tour and offered me an espresso made by the talented barista Kayliegh (sp?). Cant wait to get my kids in for swim lessons and camp next year!

Would never book a birthday party here. They are up an obstacle course for the kids and thats all they could do for the whole hour. That doesnt seem like gymnastics to me. And then getting mad when the kids really want to do something else. This place has also not been updated in 25 years. Definitely 2 out of 5.
