Life Skills & Adventures — Science

My son recently participated in the Life Skills & Adventures — Science program in Melbourne, and overall, it was a solid experience. He loved building a small volcano that erupted with baking soda and vinegar—he's been talking about it for days! The instructor, Leo, was very engaging and seemed to connect well with the kids, sparking their curiosity in science. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which I appreciated. However, the pickup process was a bit chaotic. There were long lines of parents waiting to get in, which felt a bit disorganized. I understand that managing multiple kids can get tricky, but it would be great if they could streamline that aspect. Still, my son made a new friend during the program, and the creative projects kept him excited about learning. I would recommend this program with a few caveats, particularly if you can arrive a bit early to avoid the pickup rush.

We enrolled our 9-year-old in the Life Skills & Adventures — Science program in Melbourne, and overall, it was a good experience. The staff were engaged and truly passionate about science, which made the classes enjoyable for the kids. My child particularly loved the hands-on project where they built a mini volcano, complete with a chemical reaction that caused it to 'erupt.' It was a great way to learn about chemical reactions while having fun. The small group size allowed for personalized attention, which was a bonus. However, drop-off was a bit chaotic, with many parents arriving at the same time, so make sure to arrive early to find parking. If your child is creative and enjoys science, I would recommend giving this program a try, though just be prepared for some initial hustle during drop-off.
