What Parents Say:

"STOP. This may be the most important thing of your day to read. This place is SPECIAL; your children are in a class with a teacher that teaches more than dance. It was our daughter’s first real “teacher” and boundaries, focus, and everything that is tough to teach as a parent! We enjoy the Halloween, Taylor Swift, and recently, Valentine’s Day events they throw! We haven’t had a chance to do their chess, acting, and other classes, but we are super excited for it!!"
Joshua E
"The best and cleanest place for all kinds of children's activities! We've done chess for 4 year olds, dance, gymnastics and art classes and they are all taught by the nicest professionals! We've been going here for 2 years now. Love Miss Nina, Miss Olivia and Miss Emma!"
Gail K
"The chess program offered by Center for PAD impressed me as a parent. The instructor was knowledgeable and emphasized character and sportsmanship, which was a valuable experience for my child. The program offered tournament opportunities, making it engaging and rewarding for my child. I highly recommend it."
