Gymboree Play & Music, Oakland

"We LOVE this Gymboree!! For so many reasons...one being that the STAFF ARE AMAZING!! If you have the chance to meet Stephanie, consider yourself lucky, as she is truly incredible! She is so engaged with the babies and adults, and she is so heartwarming and generous with her care. She has taken care of our baby boy so well and we look forward to seeing her. Our son adores her and knows her walking in the door! Thanks to Stephanie we feel so welcome and at home at this Gymboree, and we want to go everyday!! Seriously, just love this place and couldn't recommend it more to expecting mamas and mamas with little ones. I am so grateful to have this space for my little one to move, explore, test the limits of his own body, and be in such a positive and nurturing environment with other littles doing the same things! :) Thanks Stephanie and Gymboree for making our experience so WONDERFUL!!"

"We love bringing our son here. I’ve been doing it since he was a small baby and have seen his physical and mental development progress significantly thanks to their awesome program. The place is also really clean and the teachers are amazing. So glad they’ve reopened…we plan to make this part of our weekly routine!"

"When I first signed up for Gymboree, I was really just looking for a fun alternative to the park. Having been a member now for a couple of years, I can now say that it's so much more than that. Yes, my daughter enjoyed a different scene but she's so engaged with the teachers and the programming and I've seen her develop her learning, build her confidence and establish her social skills with other children so much during our membership. I highly recommend it, not just as an alternative to park, but as a huge ROI on your child's early development."

"I love Gymboree! The location is great, very clean. All staff is super friendly and helpful. My little one truly enjoys his time at Gymboree. I recommend to all parents looking for something to do outside of home."

"Brought my girls here for over a year as a nanny because their families lived just around the corner. They LOVED it and I could immediately see growth in their gross motor skills. We sang the songs at home and they both made friends in their classes whom they looked forward to seeing. Plus, it gave me an opportunity to network with other parents/caregivers in the area!"
