Gymboree Play & Music, Burke

The Gymboree burke location is fabulous. We had the pleasure of stopping in for a play and learn class (we were in town visiting family) and we loved it! Caroline was so warm, inviting and sweet as can be. I loved how she kept my daughter engaged throughout the entire class, while still making it fun for my older son to participate as well. Both of my kids enjoyed there time there!

Next time we are in town, we will definitely make it a point to visit again!

I agree TOTALLY with Jessica...those teachers are the BEST. As I nanny I have taken 2 different famlies kids there & now another.
I feel like the kids excelled in so many ways from there experiences. One other family signed there daughter up to after I told them how great, but a different location. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see everyone.

Gymboree Burke is great for babies, toddlers and preschoolers
We love Gymboree! Our teacher Ms. Hira and Ms. Bharti are the best! My son just turned 2 and asks to go to Gymboree a few times a week. He gets really excited for his mommy and me time. Always clean and always friendly staff!

Both my children took classes at Gymboree Burke. It’s a great place for children under five years old. Thanks to all the Gymboree teachers and especially Ms. Bharti for all the fun you have brought into their life!

I've been going to this Gymboree for a little over a year and I love it. The facility is really clean, the people there are extremely considerate, and the equipment is very new. There are some cons, but the pros outweigh the cons as outlined below.

Cons:
High turnover with staff. This will most likely not be an issue for you as you have to be with your child for a lot of the younger classes.
A little small, but brand new and the smallness forces your kid to pay attention to the teacher.
Scheduling: a lot of what you can do with your kid at Gymboree completely relies on your schedule.

Pros:
The cost is actually not high at all. Specifically, with a 2 hour open gym (which is great during the weekdays when your kid just wants to watch tv and you don't) included in your membership and the class itself, it averages for gym time about $7/hour or less. This is priceless for us, because our trip there usually includes visiting other parts of the shopping center.
The location is awesome. Despite the one review on yelp! that the location is desolate, for most of us Burke residents it means we don't have to leave Burke (traffic, etc.) Furthermore, the shopping center has an urgent care center (oddly convenient), a bank, a salon, a froyo store, a dentist, a starbucks, a giant, and a cafe rio (which serves free quesadillas for kids under 6). On a typical weekend, we are in that area for about 4 hours, with lots of fun time in running errands.
Scheduling: they are really flexible for makeups and have lots of weekday "open gym" hours, which is great for families who have long commutes.

It's totally worth the membership if your child is just mobile and you need a safe and clean place to play. And over the course of the years we've been there, it's been amazing to see our cautious child leap and jump and climb to new levels. We love it and encourage parents of young children to check it out.
