We signed up for little gym because a couple friends had their kids in it and recommended it, but unfortunately our experience was terrible. Ms Mari reminds me of that elementary school teacher who favours the popular kids and if you aren’t one of the chosen few you’re forgotten about. I’m not sure what it is about our family that she’s decided she doesn’t like, but we’ve been treated differently since the very beginning. We were not given an introductory class which is customary, if we arrive a few minutes late we are given the cold shoulder or the silent treatment (we are dealing with babies who nap and go through sleep regressions sometimes it’s a struggle to be on time), and we were not allowed to book makeup classes despite my asking several times (their policy states that if you give 2+hrs notice for a missed class you can book a makeup class). Being a new parent is challenging enough without being told your child is “delayed”, our son has hit all milestones early and has no delays, he doesn’t need to be bullied before age 1. I understand my opinion may seem like it’s in the minority, but little gym is not for everyone and you may not have a magical time.
