Gymboree

I just wanted to buy 5 classes to bring my daughter. But they charge you $ 19 for a minimum of 3 months to join. Then each class works out to like $ 12 each + membership cost. You can’t cancel on their website and they require at least 15 days written request to cancel. I despise companies that are manipulative when it comes to canceling. Also they didn’t mention membership cost until I was all signed up and shoes were off while I was with other parents. Then the lady pops up with a tablet and asks me to sign and then tells me about membership cost. I despise how Gymboree does business. They are a shady company. Better options are Catch Air, Hippo Hop, Champion Kids, Atlanta Children’s Museum, Fernbank Natural History Museum, etc. Don’t waste your money at Gymboree.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about the staff and activities here. I am a nanny and have been bringing my toddler here for a few months and we look forward to class every week. The staff is friendly, upbeat and knowledgable. It blows my mind how they remember names and specifics about each child. We have had a couple of different teachers and my little guy is partial to Kelsey and Sarafina. The energy those two put into each class is contagious and the kids really respond to them. That being said, all the teachers are fantastic. I can’t wait for the new baby to be able to join in the fun!

I am a nanny so I would live here if I could! I look after a 2 year old boy and like most boys he loves balls, climbing things, and just about anything that will scare the crap out of me! We do a play and learn class as well as Art. Both are fantastic. The art class is amazing! 2 projects come home every class. Really cool!

Fantastic place where your kid can play with others, work on motor skills, and have a blast with you (yes, parent participation is the point!).
Ms. Megan is our teacher, and she is great. So friendly and helpful, but not in the cheesy/​scary/​fake way. My daughter was super shy when she started, but now that she’s in the toddler group she has done a 180 and has blossomed into a super-​confident little girl.
I am so thankful for Gymboree — you guys are awesome!

Thank goodness for Gymboree Open Playtime.
If I was not working full time, I would sign my little one up for a class, but none of the times work with my schedule. HOWEVER, for only $ 35 a month, you can take your kid to Open Play on Sunday Mornings. It is perfect for us non-​church goers. For over an hour let your child run around and have a blast and be ready for nap by 11:45. It is perfect! The instructors are super nice and it is a great way to meet other parents and make friends in the area.
