I have two toddlers 15 months apart. We started going to JBY when my oldest was around 18 months old, and I brought my youngest from that same time.. tagging along - usually in a carrier. Miss Kristin (and JBY teachers) use developmentally appropriate structure, strategies, and activities to keep kids of all ages learning while also being allowed to be themselves and have fun! Both of my girls have grown SO much over the years, and not just in the skill areas that are explicitly targeted in the classes they’ve taken (e.g. gymnastics, art, music, etc.). They have learned how to participate in adult led activities, interact reciprocally with peers, take turns, navigate conflicts with other kids.. I could go on and on. My youngest who started usually in a carrier and just all around the typical Velcro baby, clinging to me the whole time, has blossomed into such a social little girl.. and I give a lot of credit to JBY for this. Also - JBY is, at its heart, full of just the most loving and supportive community of moms… and we all need that as moms of littles! I could not more highly recommend JBY to every single mom of littles under 5. You won’t regret checking them out!

Just Bee You has been such a special place for our family. The staff are so kind and welcoming, and it truly feels like a little community. My daughter has grown so much in her confidence and social skills here. She’s made friends, learned to share, and loves joining in all the fun activities. Every visit leaves her smiling, whether it’s from dancing, crafting, or one of their adorable themed events. It’s not only a wonderful space for kids, but also such a supportive environment for parents. We’re so grateful for the warmth, connection, and memories we’ve made here. Thank you all so much!

Sharing based off of our 2 class trial!
I signed my son up for a 2 class trial at Just Bee You and it was everything we were looking for and more. I was very nervous because I didn’t know how much “structure” my son would have to follow. Our first day I was blown away at how welcoming everyone was. Miss Kristen introduced herself and so did my son’s teacher I think Mrs. Liz (I am blanking on the name but she is the Sensory Seekers teacher)
They are both so understanding, compassionate, and amazing with the kids and parents. I actually had a moment where I was SO emotional because my child wondered around the building for majority of the first class. I told my son’s teacher I was such an emotional mom and she said no- you’re just a mom! and its normal. They were understanding and told me that at “Just Bee You” children go at their own pace. If your child doesn’t feel ready to participate.. it’s ok! That made me feel so comfortable. My son participated more in the second class and I can tell he’s coming out of his shell slowly but surely. He gets so excited to come in and play and see everyone around him. I love that this center is play based and children aren’t told to follow 10 steps. I enrolled my son for their monthly classes after our second class trial and I am so excited! If you are on the fence on whether this is the place for you and your child I seriously recommend you take advantage of the 2 class trial. We can’t wait for every Sunday now!

I can’t recommend this place enough. I have watched my daughter go from clinging to me the entire class to participating in activities and playing with others. Miss Kristen is amazing with the kiddos and she has brought my daughter out of her shell. Even the car rides home are filled with signing the clean up song and the goodbye song. I really love that there are no expectations on the kids and they can go at their own pace, so you don’t have to worry if your child is having a rough day and would prefer to do their own thing. Highly recommend checking them out if you have littles.

The space is really bright and inviting, and offering dance, art, and tumbling in one place is so cool (and rare!). Miss Kristin is truly so caring and friendly and clearly loves being with kids!

Just Bee You is THE BEST! We love love love going for the events. The space is so clean, the atmosphere is very nice, the owner is so friendly. The ladies that help with events are extremely nice as well. We love interacting with other kids, parents and there’s rooms to explore. We really look forward to our time here. Thank you for all of the amazing memories. I will be so sad when we grow out of Just Bee You.

It’s unfortunate that we had to cancel our enrollment due to scheduling issue but the art classes were amazing. Ms. Kristin is amazing and my twin girls enjoyed every much. This is definitely go to place for new parents because you will have amazing support group here. One thing I like about Ms Kristin is that she saw my girls as an individual. I have attended many toddler classes and many educators see my girls as a group. She gave them individual attention and she always got their names right! It’s open class policy so, if your toddler walks out of art class that’s totally fine. This is totally normal behavior of toddler and not many parents understands this. We will be definitely back again :)

I've been taking my daughter to classes here since she was 4 months old and she turns 1 next week! It's been the best thing for her socialization... and mine! I have myself made so many friends being able to see other parents and care takers so I really enjoy it for me too! Now that my daughter is older she's really loving going to see other kids and loves playing with all that is available to her. She's always asleep before we're even close to home because she always has so much fun and burns a lot of energy. Miss Kristin and all the staff here has always been so incredible and I love having a place to go. Our favorites are definatly the pop up parties! We also have been attending the Good Morning Baby support group on Mondays and it's great to have class and group to attend every week!
Worth every penny always as it's always a fun thing to do and look forward too.

My friend and I both purchased the two day trials for our daughters and signed up for the gymnastics class. I can’t speak for my friend, but I was personally disappointed. I don’t really feel like I paid for a structured class like I thought it would be but more like I paid admission into the building for free play. Most of the equipment is the same type of stuff we already have in our basement like toddler trampolines and the pikler triangle gym with the exception of the hanging gymnastics rings. My biggest concern was that the place felt very dirty. I saw multiple adults and children walking around in their bare feet on the same mats that my 1 year old daughter was expected to crawl and play on which was gross. Most places like indoor playgrounds require everyone to wear socks for that exact reason. My friend and I didn’t end up using our second day passes.

response - clearly your response to my review shows you’re not open to any true, candid feedback. I guess the miscommunication was I thought I was paying for a structured gymnastics class, and what you provided wasn’t it. If the issue with no socks is for the kids not slipping, why were there adults not wearing socks too? I am voicing my concerns to you now. Thanks for the offer, but I have no interest in returning.

To anyone looking for fun, interactive, educational activities to engage their little ones, jBY is it. This place is awesome! There is something for everyone from gymnastics to art classes. I’ve been taking my daughter here for six months now and she absolutely loves it. Miss Kristin is amazing. Thank you, jBY for helping our LO develop new skills with fun activities every week.

Absolutely love having just Bee you for our daughter so close to home. In just a few months I can see how my daughter has grown socially/emotionally with all of her little friends. She loves all of the activities; art, music, sensory play, gymnastics etc. The best part is my husband who attends class with our little feels 100% welcome by other caregivers and Ms. Kristin, he looks forward to the classes every week. It has been so good good for all of us, we love Just Bee You.

This place is wonderful. We just had our daughter's second birthday party here and it was perfect. The space is great for babies, toddlers and little kids and Kristen was so kind, she did a wonderful job running the party. We'll be back for classes and open play!

I highly recommend just Bee You. We just signed up for a membership for our 9-month old. He has been really enjoying the “Baby and Me” classes. Kristin (Coach K) has created a safe, welcoming environment for our son to explore and for us to relax. The movement and music activities for babies are thoughtful and sweet. I’m also really looking forward to when our son is ready for the “Tumble and Play,” that looks super fun!

I absolutely loved having Kristin as my girl's gymnastics teacher! And my daughter loved her! The parent/tot class was the best introduction for my daughter into gymnastics. Kristin was the perfect mix of instructor and friend for us both.

Coach K was my son's gymnastic coach in preschool gymnastics and he adored her! She made classes fun and engaging, and was always supportive. We are excited to be back with her as Coach K!
