Gymboree Play & Music

About $ 85 a month which would be fine except I want him to learn something while he’s there… I might do it in the future.
Right now I think we will explore swimming for babies… mine is only 9 months so I am looking for more.

I read another review mention how they felt that their baby needed to be around other babies so they didn’t grow up to be an antisocial loser… and I spot on was starting to irrationally worry about the same thing.
I signed up for a free introductory music class and was expecting my daughter, 9 months at the time, to freak out and have to leave 5 min in. Over simulation central and she just recently started having serious stranger anxiety, not to mention I had to wake her up from a nap to bring her into the class. Huge recipe for an embarrassing meltdown… I had zero expectations, was ok with her not being ready and trying again in a few months… but she didn’t cry, not once, was mesmerized by the teacher and new faces, other cute babes, and interesting sounds. She would sometimes look at a parent, than get a frowny about to cry face, but then look at me, and turn her attention back to teacher. She made it through the entire 45 min and I signed up immediately. She seemed happy to be there and I was so proud of her I didn’t even care about the cost.
However, I will say it is a bit pricey, but comparable or cheaper than other mommy and me classes I’ve tried like Little Gym. They also waived the membership fee if I signed up that day.
It’s not for everyone, but for us, right now until she’s in mothers day out or a preschool regularly, so probably for another year, it is so great. They also have a play and learn class that has really helped with her physical development and social skills, and open gym times to drop in and use the equipment. All in all, I would totally recommend Gymboree to any mom who feels like their baby needs to be around other babies in a semi structured environment, or just needs a place to go and have adult interactions with other tired moms. The staff is so friendly and my daughter really loves coming here. We sing the songs we learn in class all day long and I feel like a better parent when we can make it to a class.
Try a free class and then decide if it makes sense for you!

My son travels with me for work and we were in the Dallas area for a week. The staff made this such a great activity for him during the day! Engaging classes, fun activities… a perfect combination of socialization and active play!
So appreciate the director for making it easy for us to attend and the instructors for great classes. Wish we were closer! This would be an absolute must for us!!!

Great place, they really love kids!!! I love how the staff are really gifted singers. My son loved the class and variety of music selected. Their theme happen to be Motown the first month we visited. The kids were busy from start to finish. I love the music exploration at the end of classl

I totally got suckered into joining this place.
Since my kid doesn’t go to day care I began developing an irrational fear that he would grow up as an antisocial loner.
The first class was free so why not? We sang songs, played under a parachute, and rolled around on mats. It brought me back to found memories of parachute day in gym class.
It’s a good way to meet other parents and for kids to meet other kids. There’s different levels based on age and they focus on developing milestones based on their age group.
Some teachers are awesome, some are so-​so. I it was more consistent.
In summary, you have fun. Kids have fun. Kids sleep afterwards from stimulation. Kids don’t grow up to be antisocial loners.

Just had our daughter’s 2 year old birthday party here and the service was EXCELLENT. I could not have asked for anything more. From the moment we walked into the door to getting back into our car we had five star service. We had ages ranging from 9 months to 10 and everyone seemed to enjoy the party. I highly recommend having a birthday party here but mainly for the 5 and under children. Thank you so much Gymboree!

I wish I can take credit for having found this place or signed up for these classes, but I cannot. It is my lovely wife who took the lead on this one. In the beginning I doubted its effectiveness, but having gone to the classes for 2 months now, I highly recommend this place to any new parent that wants to help improve the developmental skills of their child. It is definitely a bit pricey but it comes out to either $ 20 or $ 10 per class depending on how many times you go in a month. Its a good way for our son to interact and see other babies since he stays at home the whole week. The teachers are very nice and helpful. And the first class is free if you want to just go try it out.

We have been coming to Gymboree’s Play & Learn Class for 5 months, and my son absolutely loves it. My mother watches him during the day, so this is his time to interact with other children. He has become so much more social and coordinated since starting his classes. The open gym times are also very convenient and I feel like I get a lot for my money here. Also, I am very fortunate that the mothers in his class are all very sweet. I have made some very nice friends here.
This past weekend, we had my son’s 2^nd birthday party here. I seriously could not have asked for more. I didn’t realize that in addition to the «party teacher» there is a «party assistant». I brought in a cake, food from Chick-​fil-​a, and some party decorations. They helped me carry everything in and set up the entire room. I wanted to do a Fireman Theme and they adjusted their normal party themes to meet my needs. The teacher kept the kids entertained by singing songs and showing them different activities. When the kids came to eat, the assistant helped serve the food. I didn’t have to do anything except enjoy my child’s party.
At the end of the party, all of his presents were placed in giant bags and loaded into my car for me. It was so nice to come home and not have any mess to clean up. Totally worth it. Gymboree is the perfect place for a 2^nd birthday party.

I love this place. The staff is super friendly and accomodating. My girls have a great time playing in art class, and I love to take them to Play Gyms (open play time) on Mondays because they have it available for 6+ hours.
I have a toddler and a preschooler. There were times during winter or spring break when my preschooler was out of school, I was allowed to bring both my girls even though one wasn’t enrolled (they didn’t charge me for my un-​enrolled kid). I thought that was really considerate of the staff.

I loved Gymboree — music I. My child was bored and fussy at Little Gym’s class I went to but loved the music class. It is atually further for me to go to Gymboree than Little Gym, but I liked it more so we enrolled with Gymboree. I think my child liked the fast pace
