Great support and loved that everything was via text. Also my daughter had a fabulous time - so much more exciting than a typical babysitting session.

Our Grasshopper experience was amazing! I have four very curious kids at different ages with different interests, and the experience had all four of them engaged the whole time. Also, as an educator, I was very impressed with how the facilitator led the program. She obviously knew what she was doing, and the minute she left, my kids were asking for another experience.

Grasshopper offered my daughter an opportunity to learn in a vibrant, fun setting that was continuously customized for her attention span and interests. Her Grasshopper teacher was fun, engaging and supremely personable. She took the time to get to know my daughter before diving into anything. I felt more than comfortable leaving my daughter in such capable hands…and love that she truly learned some new things from the experience. We will be using Grasshopper regularly to broaden her horizons and expose her to new concepts in a safe and compelling way. The icing on the cake is that the experience took place in our home, at a time that was convenient for us!

As usual, Teacher Lauren was incredible! She worked closely with us to plan the perfect custom themed Mario Bros. birthday party for our seven year old daughter. She was collaborative, creative, enthusiastic, and delivered an exceptional experience. We have had her run numerous activities and birthday parties for us so far, and she never disappoints.
