Gymboree Play & Music

My previous review was prophetic. My son tumbled off one of the slides, but I managed to catch him in time. Thank God.

Love the classes, my son has really excelled physically and mentally in this nurturing learning environment. I’ve learned what I should be working on with him when we attend. Miss Jean is our favorite for music and Gym. We also Love to see Kia each time we arrive and the art lady is great too. The play area in the front is very nice and keeps my son occupied which gives me a chance to put my shoes on and find my keys.

I really enjoyed the level one classes with Ms. Chanel (she was a fabulous teacher). Great interactive activities and parent sharing time — level 1 was also unlimited so we could attend more frequently or makeup classes easily. The only downside for me was the location, the galleria area is very congested. I am moving on to a new program closer to home.

We love, LOVE Gymboree! My LO is exactly 9 months today and after starting attending Gymboree for about a month, she’s a completely different baby! She is now crawling, standing up, waves goodbye and interacts with other hand gestures. Also, it’s awesome how the Little ones are taught to get off the equipment which helps us at home when our LO is trying to get off the couch and such; all we have to say is ‘feet touch’ (what she has learned in class) and she turns on her tummy first, then bring her feet down to get down that way. We can definitely say that we are very happy with Gymboree; I also can’t complain that when I can’t bring her, grandma can enjoy some bonding time with her too!

I am giving the Memorial location/​Main Office one star due to the fact that they took money out of my account without authorizing with me first. They ask you to have a credit card on file and I gave it, I didn’t think that meant that they can charge anytime they please. I had a bday party there and the books were completely closed after my party. Closed and paid for in Full. Yet 4 days after my party I was charged and additional $ 40 for a party I already paid for.absurd. I love Gymboree and took my daughter there for 4 years back in 2003. This experience was so disheartening and I’m so sad that the office has these practices in place in 2015. Please be careful when giving your credit card, and you will be judged when asking for a refund.

I really loved bringing my son Cooper to Ms. Chantel’s Level 1 class. They are great with babies, we learn awesome interactive songs/​etc. to try at home, and Cooper is exhausted afterward! It is also nice to meet other new parents.
I just wish that I didn’t have to go back to work and we could keep up with Gymboree!!!

My toddler has been attending the play and learn classes here for 7 months and we are both a fan. The ladies who teach all seem very caring and enthusiastic. They greet my daughter with a smile and most know her by name. They recently updated the equipment, flooring and waiting area (yea). I love that we can attend open gym for free when she doesn’t have a class (there are set times for the open gym). My daughter asks to go to Gymboree, thats always a good sign! I just wish we had more morning options for her age (24 mo) because the classes are full or almost full.

My daughter had so much fun, we tried the school skills for toddlers, my intention was for her to learn school skills like the ABC’s and numbers and interact with other kids, but they did mostly arts&crafts and stories and played games. But my daughter loved it, so yes, I’m bring her back again. As long as she’s happy, that’s all it counts right?! :) The facility is way more better than the one in Dallas TX and more friendlier staffs. Thanks everyone.

I have been bringing my 14 months old son to Gymboree for about 8 months. He’s in level 3 class and loves coming there. All the staff members are so helpful & friendly.
I see them cleaning and wiping the equipment constantly. I’m happy with the class & I think they offer a lot of open gym times which my son loves.

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately I took my daughter out of their infant classes and found a place more suitable for my taste. The first time I went, the place actually smelled really bad and I didn’t even want my then 2 month old daughter to touch the parachute because it appeared dirty. Additionally, while I did have one good teacher, the instructors seem a little amateurish and appeared to do the same thing over and over again with each class. There was no variety whatsoever. I found a place called Fundamentally Music which I liked very much and the cost is slightly more expensive than Gymboree, but well worth it.

We hosted my son’s 1^st birthday party here and it was awesome! I know many people do young kid parties at home or parks but that turns out to be a party for the adults rather than the kids. This place was perfect for our kid guests. Morna, who organized our event, was on top of it. She called a few days in advance to discuss plans and details. She and her team setup the dining/​cake area while the kids played. She then entertained them with different songs and games that involved all the parents. After cake and food her team cleaned up the place and packed all our stuff for us. I can’t imagine a more perfect place than here to host a toddler birthday party.

We’ve been taking my 16 month old since he was just about 3 months old.
Level 1 classes are unlimited so you can go to as many as you want. If you are going to try out Gymboree, do it during L1 so you can really get the most out of your membership fee.
Once you get to Level 2 and up, you pay for either 1 class a week or unlimited classes. Open Gym times are included, and there is 1 ‘pre-​walker’ dedicated open gym time per week.
We are Level 4 now, and I feel like my son is as comfortable there as he is at home. I credit his Gymboree time for his walking at 11 months. We have several friends that have joined now, and we enjoy meeting there for classes and open gym times.
It give something nice to add to the rotation. I love that its not as crowded as some of the free activities offered at the libraries, and honestly, its nice that they know him by name there!
We had his 1^st Birthday party there and it was awesome!
I have since attended birthday parties at Little Gym, which seems more physically gymnastics oriented. Mini balance beam, parallel bars, etc. Seemed like it would be great for an older toddler. Whereas Gymboree is good for the smallest babies.
Yeah sometime the singing is off key, but it just makes you more comfortable joining in!
And once they are 2 years old, they host «Pajama Parties» nearly once a month on a Friday where you can drop off the kids for 3 hours! Can’t wait for that one!

We did the music class, and it was ok but I think its best for a younger baby. They did some fun things like beat a drum and play with shakers. Definitely good stimulation for kids.
Overall, I was unimpressed with the facility. I arrived early, so I observed the open gym time. The kids were just crawling around on some large mats. There was nothing special about it that was worth paying for. The place didn’t seem that clean either.
I recently took my child to the children’s museum it seemed much more stimulating in a variety of ways for babies up through older kids. There was more variety at the museum and they go out of their way to keep the museum clean for kids. A yearly membership is $ 95, which seems way more worth it than the high monthly charge a gymboree.
I think Gymboree is better for smaller babies who are just becoming exposed or for moms that just need a break.

So much enriching fun for small kids. My baby is 1 year, and started the ‘play and learn’ class around 11 months. She loves it. I like the different concepts each class, like movement, object permanence, sounds, etc.
Kinda pricey, but worth it. I paid a $ 59 registration fee, then $ 64/​month after. This includes 1 class per week (day and time of choice) and unlimited open gyms (specified times to just go and play).
Staff is friendly and enthusiastic. They keep everything pretty clean. Adults must wear socks, kids don’t.

Hidden behind all the office buildings on post oaks… the place has a rather large parking lot but then again i guess since its a Saturday the place is empty. Gymboree is quite spacious but this is really the first Gymboree i have been to so i cant really compare it to anything else. I meet up a friend who had brought her baby here for class. It was very enjoyable and the teacher was very nice and patient with the kids. I believe she was suppose to be in class 3 but was moved to 4 because of scheduling conflicts. They were very accommodating and nice about it. All the kids seemed to be having a blast and just overall enjoyable time. The place was clean and they had the kids use disinfecting lotion after they were all done playing which i thought was very good. Again this is a review of someone who has no kids and hasnt been to a place like this. I thought it was quite enjoyable spending time with the little munchkin!

Not very flexible. We weren’t able to attend classes for personal reasons and when we called to see if they would work with us on making days up, they refused. Gymboree classes are expensive and if anyone understands the unpredictability of life with kids I would think it would be a company that deals with them. Disappointed and since we did not get to try our classes, a waste of money.

We love Gymboree Music and Play. I started both my kids from one year old. This is a good place for little babies to socialize, practice their mobile skills and get a good taste in music and body coordination. The gym program encourages kids to explore and stay active, and teaches them how to do so in a safely manner. It involves both teacher lead group instruction time and free play. The facility is bright and clean. The staff actually wipes the equipments after every class. Adults are required to wear socks, which I really like. And the equipments are colorful and well maintained. It just feels very positive and cheerful, which I appreciate a lot because I’ve been to other little kid’s gyms that felt dark and ran down. We especially love Ms. Nikki. She always makes the class fun and has her own way to encourage and calm even the fussy little ones. I think she only does weekend classes though. The price is competitive compare to other similar business. And they have open gym time you can drop in to play in addition to your regular weekly classes. Also appreciate the very easy makeup policy. It’s pretty much an honor system, so overall I think it’s a good deal for your money.
We also booked our little one’s 1^st birthday party here. It’s a little pricy but the instructor was very flexible with us and made the party very fun. Everybody enjoyed the party a whole lot even the adults.

My son started here at 6 months and continued up until I enrolled him in a private school after he turned 2. I appreciated the easy and relaxed make-​up policy, because we were always missing a class for this reason or that reason.
He loved bubble time and the stamps he got at the end of each class. We’ve had classes with all the different instructors, and they are all very sweet. I really like how this facility is spacious and very well kept. I didn’t realize how roomy and comfortable this Gymboree was until I recently visited a different one by First Colony. I also walked by the one in Pearland, and the inside is much smaller, too.
I’ve been meaning to enroll my 1 yr old daughter. I know she will absolutely love it.

I have been taking my son for 3 months, since he was 3 months old. He loves the games and songs, and especially loves interacting with other babies. The teachers are great, I have seen 3 different ones and each has their own style which makes it more interesting each session.
I have found everything to be very clean, all toys, materials and hands are cleaned each session. My boyfriend has also come along to the sessions occasionally and has slotted in easily. Level 1 babies can attend 3 sessions a week if they want, which I thought good value. We are here on business and it has certainly made a great deal of difference to mine and Arlo’s lives whilst we have been here.
