Wondertree Kids

Music & Sign Language with Monique was so much fun. Our baby is 6 months old and he seemed very happy the entire class.

We’ve been taking our son for about three months. He enjoys singing, dancing, & signing! We look forward to taking him every Friday. The staff is great!

I’ve been taking my 2 years old toddler to messy art class for 6 months. The staff is not trained properly. They changed the teacher 5 times. Receptionists and managers are rude. All they care about is the money. You can’t even use make up classes unless you’re signed up for the class. The facility is always very dusty and dirty.

Maybe it’s just because we were so spoiled with the amazingly talented teacher’s at Toddle Tunes in Westwood or the high energy of the teacher’s at Mygym, but Wondertree just never felt like enough bang for your buck. We did like the location, the facility, and the gift shop. moving on…

Hallelujah — I now know how to do the baby pokey dance!
Since having our munchkin 4 months ago I’ve been wanting to try out a baby music/​sign language class. Of course my little guy is still pretty blobby (he’s not exactly going to be dancing up a storm) BUT his little noggin is definitely a sponge so I wanted to expose him to different activities as soon as we could (and by that I mean as soon as I started showering and remembering how to interact with other adults… turns out that’s around the 4 month mark).
Wondertree is great in that they offer a free intro class to see how things go and if you sign up that day your membership rate drops to $ 50 and you get a discount on toys in store that day.
My bestie who has a 9 month old came with to the Tuesday 11:30am baby sign language and music class. There were 3 other babies there who were all pretty young. Our instructor was adorable — she strummed her guitar with her sweet singing voice over the squawks and squeals of all the crazy babies. We sang, we shaked things, we drummed, we ran around the classroom… I think I sweated more than I sang (trying to focus a 4 month’s old attention for 1 hour without him breaking down was … interesting). It was definitely fun learning different signs that I could use with my baby and learning what songs and instruments got him excited (baby boy is into the basssss) and which stabbed him in the ears (he will not tolerate you shaking a rattle at him… not one bit).
I think I may wait until my guy is a smidge older to do more classes. I’d love to take him more but, honestly, this mama needs more sleep before I can commit to a schedule of classes. All said though it’s a fun place with a great staff… and apparently my baby loves when i put his left arm in. put his left arm out… put it back in and then shake it all about.

Out of all the mommy and me classes, this one seems a stretch better than the others. I’ve been to the zoo yoga and wondertree kids class. Wondertree seems more organized and cleaner. There are better seats for the moms and the rooms are well ventilated. Babies seem to appeal to the music as well. Catchy short tunes are the mainstay in wondertree kids.
I deducted one star because of the parking and the price. Parking is a b*** around noon. Everyone around the area comes to this plaza for lunch, so if possble, pick a class that doesn’t run during lunch hours

My son is almost 3 and he’s been attending WonderTrees since he was about 8months old. The music and sign class was super cute and he actually did pick up quite a few signs early on (before turning 1 or at 13months).
When he turned 1 I enrolled him in the Mommy and Me class with Ms. Karen and he loves it! We’re planning on enrolling him in the Preschool Transition class and we’re super excited! Btw Ms. Karen is awesome! My son is shy but he loves Ms. Karen and really takes her as an authority figure.
My son didn’t really take to a lot of the other gym type of classes until he turned 2 so I really appreciate the alternative WonderTrees provides.
They have different classes you can always try out and see what fits your child. For me it was the Mommy and Me because it wasn’t quite as loud and hectic as the other classes. I’m hoping he’ll love Preschool Transition as much as he loved Mommy and Me.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE — DON’T BOOK A PARTY HERE!
After confirming my party over email and on the phone AND accepting my contract and deposit, I got a call that they had double booked a party the same day as my daughters and my party would have to be moved. All the manager, Adrianna, could say was her employee Venessa would be «reprimanded.» Considering that I have already sent party invitations out this is not good enough. Don’t book a party here — they are unorganized and unprofessional!

DO NOT HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY HERE!
I had my daughter and my son’s birthday party. It was the worst experience. My husband and I were so exhausted after the party.
They do not let you come in more than 30 minutes prior to the starting time of the party. You would assume that they decorate the room for us. It was nearly half way done when we got there exactly 30 minutes before the party was supposed to start. We paid over $ 500 not including tips to have incomplete party room. The activity came out ok but we did not understand why we had to do the labor to beauty up the room etc. They do not offer food or drinks included in any of birthday packages so $ 500 we spent was only to rent their facility for 2 hours! Yeh, there was 1.5 party coordinators, but all they did was singing a song along with our kids!
We just did not understand how they run the business like the way they do and were able to stay in business as long as they have. All we can say is «DO NOT HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY HERE.»

4.5 stars
We tried a free messy art class here. It was fun, the instructor was very sweet, and they did not mind that my son was hyperactive. I liked the rhythm and flow to the class.
This location is very nice. It is cute and clean. There is no play equipment like My Gym or Gymboree. This place focuses on learning. Parking was a cinch.
Ultimately, this did not fit my very active child’s needs, and we signed up for Gymboree. Wondertree is still a wonderful program for kids. They currently have a $ 59 first month promotion going on. If your child is more of a sitter, this might be the right fit for you.

I started bringing my daughter here about 8 months ago to the Music and Movement class. She was a 1 year old at the time and very shy. I thought the class was great and we quickly added another class, the Parent and Me Preschool. She has now developed into a social and enthusiastic learner. Ms. Karen is her teacher for both classes and she is amazing! She is warm, caring and has a magical way of winning even the toughest kids over. My daughter quickly bonded to her and now loves to sing, be read to and and have her piano time. The setting is very welcoming and the staff is beyond amazing! I highly recommend this place to kids of all ages.

Went to sing & sign class. Absolutely amazing! The staff is polite and the facility is super clean. We will definitely go back.

Today my daughter and I went to their music and sign class and had so much fun. We sang songs, played instruments, and learned basic sign language! We signed up for the membership immediately after our first free class. We are looking forward to next week’s class. Thanks Marissa!

We bring our seven month old son here for music and sign classes. He loves it! We love it. The teachers are amazing.

My daughter goes there for her transition class Monday and Wednesday and she looks forward to it every week. At home she is singing the Wondertree Kids song & Hello Song.
My daughter has never been dropped off to a class before and this was her first time ever, she cried for only two day and then she just embraced Miss Larissa (her favorite).
It is really a great place to take your kid for transition before they go to preschool.

I came here for a mommy event (not a class) and we were encouraged to bring our little ones if we needed to and were told there would be a place for them to play.
I wasn’t sure what to expect, and when I arrived I noticed the kids room was a separate room down the hall from where the mommies would be mingling. I decided to check out the space and make sure my little one would feel comfortable as I had never really dropped her off anywhere and this event was an hour long.
I was met by the 2 nicest teachers, Sarah and Miriam. They were so friendly and immediately began engaging my child. The room was big, bright and CLEAN. There were a ton of books, play kitchen and food, trains and other fun goodies. My little one seemed quite comfortable and immediately began to explore. When I returned an hour later, they were still having fun! And I wasn’t even paying these ladies!
The only reason it’s not a 5 star review was because I hadn’t actually experienced an official class here. But I am so glad I stumbled upon this place. I would feel so comfortable bringing my children here for classes. It’s just too bad I don’t live in the area. But I am holding on to my free class pass just in case!

My shy, introverted child has become a different kid after attending Mommy and Me preschool here. He’s always been uncomfortable around new faces but having him come here on a regular basis has really helped. He is starting to come out of his shell and has become very comfortable with his wonderful teacher Miss Karen. The program has also gotten him more interested in singing and dancing. Love it!

My four-​month-​old son and I took our first music and sign class at Wondertree Kids last week and absolutely loved it. Miss Sarah was so talented, sweet, and helpful. We just loved her. The building is cutely decorated and very clean, and the staff who checked me in and helped me set up were super friendly.
We learned signs, sang songs, read a book, and played with a big bag full of different «instruments», scarves, etc. as well as puppets and bubbles. There is a monthly «theme» and this time it was «my prettyl planet» — lots of earth and animal-​related signs. I felt like my son really got a lot out of the class, and he was as excited as I’ve ever seen him! Miss Sarah also took time to explain a bit of the way babies’ brains function, which I appreciated. All around, just a really fun afternoon! We signed up for a membership and received a music kit full of fun things like drums, shakers, and scarves. Lindsay helped us sign up and was really sweet and helpful. We are excited to be a part of Wondertree!

I came here for a kid’s birthday party. This place caters to more of a younger crowd, more like 1 – 2 year olds. I’m not saying your 3 or 4 year old won’t enjoy it, because mine did. For dining, you’ll have to cater your own food and fit everyone in the arts/​craft area towards the back. We had the Counter burgers from next door, that was yummy. This room is small, and no large chairs for the adults. That was sort of the only gripe I had here. They have 2 bathrooms and 3 sinks so it was always no wait. That, I liked.
They don’t have much toys here in that back room except for the kitchen. Everything else is in that one big interactive room. Ms. Marissa was great, she interacted with every child here. They use a lot of sensory materials such as the drums, scarves, songs, bubbles, parachute etc. The kids love it. It love how they also say, «put the xxx away». A lot of time, when you go to a school or a place such as this, they will just say «Clean up» and not be specific.
I’ve been here to this center and did notice that there is a kids haircut and a kids clothes place here. So pretty much, you can bring your kid and spend a whole day in this plaza. Well, if you can afford it. Everything around this area runs a bit higher but if its in your hood and if its convenient, then by all means this is a great place to take the family.

Both my children attended the music n sign class at Wondernation. It is a great place. There are a variety of teachers, so if you try a class and aren’t happy, see if you can try a different time with another teacher. The classes start at a very young age, I think 6 months. There are all types of props used in the classes: musical instruments, drums, parachutes, scarves, guitar, piano, bubbles. Both my kids loved this class. It’s a little pricey, but no more than similar classes in the area.
They also have birthday parties and now an open art playtime.
