Kids First Sports Center states it has 50+ years of history doing great things for kids and 50 years of building happy, healthy, responsible children, and uses the mission statement: “KIDS FIRST SPORTS CENTER: 50+ Years of Building Happy, Healthy, Responsible Children ...Where Kids LOVE to Learn!” Kids First Sports Center also offers a mobile app to see schedules, add new classes, and contact them directly.
One parent, Raechel M., shared in a Google Review that they “love this place,” that their baby participates in TumbleBees and Swim, and that it has helped with social development and motor skills, noting that teachers and classes are great, class sizes for that age are typically around six kids with parents in the classes, and that staff work hard to keep the facility clean and safe. Another parent, Lisa B., wrote in a Google Review that their family spends a lot of time at Kids First, recommends it for swim lessons, Tumblebees, Book Bums, and Parents Nights Out, and mentioned that one child can be in dance while another is in karate at the same time, that the facilities are “amazingly clean,” that instructors and support staff are great, and that the website makes it easy to enroll and change extracurriculars because there are many options to try.
