Bare Foot Gymnastics Club and Montessori Preschool

The Montessori program completely transformed our 4-year-old. He gained so much confidence, independence, and academic readiness — we truly feel like he’s more than prepared to start kindergarten this year, and it’s all thanks to the loving, intentional foundation he received there. Our daughter is on the Team Gymnastics program, and we are blown away by how much she has grown. The coaches don’t just focus on leveling up — they truly care about the whole child and are building a rock-solid foundation for her gymnastics career. She’s thriving both physically and emotionally, and we owe so much of that to the incredible coaching team. Working with Bare Foot over the last year has been one of the greatest blessings. Caleb and Ashley, the owners, are two of the kindest, most down-to-earth, and honest people you’ll ever meet. Their hearts are huge, and it’s clear they pour love into everything they do. The Ninja coaches, Beck and Marcus, are amazing with the boys — they lead with strength, patience, and grace, and make every class something our kids look forward to. And Lindsey, the rec director, always goes above and beyond to make sure every child feels seen, supported, and loved. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of the Bare Foot family. Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a positive, nurturing place for their kids to grow!

We attended the ninja and gymnastic class here. My son is 3 years old and the gymnastics class is a complete joke. They let the 3/4 year olds run in and out of the class with no teacher or parent. The 3/4 year olds are allowed to go to the bathroom alone, go to the front and get water, and allowed to roam free with no supervision. I complained to the front desk several times and was told that there’s only 1 teacher so they allow the kids to come and go. While I was there several children got hurt and couldn’t open bathroom door since there was no adult with them. Also, 75% of the gymnastic class my son and other children were sitting on the mat. I also went to front desk about this and they put my son in another class. Well the next teacher did the exact same thing. They spend 3/5 minutes a kid while they take them through the obstacle course while the other 4/5 children are suppose to just sit. I pulled my son out of gymnastics and we tried the ninja class. The toddler gymnastic teachers are also mostly young and not equipped to handle younger children. The ninja class has a bathroom inside so the kids weren’t running in and out unsupervised. They have young boys maybe 18-20 running the ninja classes and they don’t know how to deal with small children either. Most of the time my son was siting or standing and doing nothing. But when the class is over they don’t make sure your child is with a parent. They just open one of the two doors and let all the kids go. It is very tight inside and only 7 seats. There’s not much room to stand either. I wouldn’t waste my money at this gym if you have a toddler. We ended up leaving this gym and started attending MyGym. It was the best decision we made. The teachers are great and know all the kids by name. Response: Well first off I didn’t know she was a minor, so I will blur her face and that wasn’t my intention of posting pictures of your employees. I was posting pictures of my son. That’s exactly the point I had in my review is that teenagers with no experience are running these classes. I also, went to the front desk at least 3/4 times with my complaints and nothing was done. I stayed for 2 months hoping things would get better and it didn’t. When I went to the front desk the same blonde woman who said, she was a manager took my complaints. So maybe you need to talk to your employees more. I wasn’t the only parent having these complaints.

Coach Marcus and Ashley are the best with the kids and we honestly had a great experience with their toddler parent class. I was told at the beginning of the class that we could do a make up day if we couldn’t make one of them, so when the gym itself had to reschedule a class day that we couldn’t make I thought they would allow us to have a make up day for that specific class. I was told because it’s the last day of this class cycle I would just have to miss it… it was very unclear that you have to let them know in advance and that you would have to do the make up day with one of their current ongoing classes. We signed up for a specific class because it’s the only time we can make, I don’t think it’s fair to reschedule a class and not offer a make up when the parent/child can not make the other times. I just feel like the information online and what I’m being told by the front desk was contradictory. It’s just a toddler class, the least you can do is honor a make up. Not all staff is as kind as the couches we had.

My son attended barefoot for a year and half. He started last summer school (to test the waters) then pre- school this year. Can I just say barefoot is fantastic! My son excelled so much in the last year. Ms Christine is such a great teacher. She is so kind, patient and just loves all the kids! Honestly the entire staff is just absolutely wonderful! My son will be attending a new school next year and I feel he is totally prepared thanks to Barefoot Montessori. If your kids are in pre- school, or kindergarten I highly recommend this place! Honestly we will miss them all so much! This school doesn't miss a beat down to each detail... even graduation day! I even cried the program was so beautifully thought out! Im so appreciative to my neighbors for recommending this school. We will miss you Barefoot! Thank you for everything! Kristina Friebe (Jace's mom) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Quality programs for both gymnastics and the Montessori school. Love love love the teachers and coaches. Both have been so helpful for my daughters development and growth mentally, socially, and emotionally. I love the Montessori method and this preschool is a true Montessori preschool at an affordable cost. I cannot say enough positive things about them!
