Spectra Gymnastics 11959 Southwest Garden Place, Portland, OR 97223

"Thriving company (and much needed facility) with an owner that is an inspiration of light to our community. Please open up more spaces in the Portland Metro area! Thank you for everything that you do and have brought to this community!"

"Spectra has been a gift to our family, and we are forever grateful to the Spectra team for their incredible work with our child. It is a truly inclusive and happy space, and I have watched my child absolutely thrive since joining their preschool class and speech therapy with Alexis. We only want our child to participate in resources that she genuinely enjoys and supports her neurodivergence for the special super power it is, and Spectra definitely shares that philosophy. She absolutely loves Spectra and can’t wait to go to school each day! Speech therapy has also supported truly remarkable growth and development, and Alexis has ensured she takes an approach that is suited to our child’s active and puzzle loving personality, and to say it is working is an understatement! The gymnastics piece of the preschool program is also absolutely genius! It allows the kids to express themselves in an intentionally set up physical space, and feel more settled for the classroom time, while also just having a ton of fun too! A 5 star review definitely can’t ever express the level of appreciation and gratitude we have for this wonderful place with such kind, caring, and professional staff who clearly love what they do. Writing this review brings happy tears to my eyes, and I only wish there was a Spectra in every city in the world, so that every neurodivergent child could have the opportunity to experience this special place."

"I cannot recommend this gym enough! My daughters experience at Spectra was amazing. All of the staff were incredibly patient and supportive of my child’s needs. They were very loving, and my daughter was always so excited to see her teachers. The owner, Karissa, is flexible and very empathetic. We’re currently on a break from gymnastics, but hope to have my child back in this gym soon. Overall the experience exceeded my expectations!"

"SO much love for Spectra. My 4 yo attended their kinder prep program and absolutely loved it. He had never been to a childcare setting before and the transition was seamless. Staff are fun and friendly with excellent communication to parents. It was so nice to see my kiddo smiling before and after class. He has grown so much in this program and I feel confident in his ability to transition to a larger class size setting in the future. Thank you, Spectra :)"

"This place has great classes with the most amazing staff! The teachers really develop strong bonds with these kids and have a lot of knowledge about all kinds of special needs. Our son is not on the spectrum, but has other special needs which the staff has been incredible dealing with. Our son has LOVED his experience here! Highly recommended!"
