I strongly urge parents of toddlers and small children NOT to take them to A Kids Gym in Oviedo. The staff there is rude and doesn?t know how to deal with small children appropriately. The older woman is especially loud and mean. At a recent parent and tot class, a toddler (barely 2 years old) ran the wrong way down the bouncy run. The older woman grabbed him by the arm and got in his face, berating him for what he did. She told him to look at the sign that says ?One Way?. The child can barely talk, let alone read. She threatened to kick him out of the class. He was shrinking back in fear from her. After that, every time she came near him during the class, he shrunk back from her or ran away. This woman should not even be allowed near young children. Very young children need the rules repeated over and over before it sinks in. They need to be gently shown how to do things the right way, not yelled at and man-handled. This is not a place for smaller children, and I will not be taking my young child there again.
