[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids were picky about activities before our school went to Flex. Now, they are not interested in any of their offerings. And I don't blame them.  The classes are definitely more expensive.

Not a fan.[/quote]

Before Flex my kids used to do 1-2 activities each session. Now they do none. The offerings are really lame and they only work with a small number of providers so it's the same group every session. 
I also dislike the management. They're pretty rude and charge you extras at every turn. Want to sign up an hour late? That'll cost you. If you sign up right before classes start you have to miss the first class even if the instructor is okay with your child attending.

Our FLEX charged a kid late registration but failed to pick him up for class (he was a kindergartner) even though he signed up 4 days before the class started, and the teacher had emailed the parents the day before class started because he was in the system. FLEX just never bothered to send a current roster to their aid on site, and the kid was literally missing for an hour w/ parents thinking he was at class. When FLEX was notified, their response was to say they were sorry that they didn't do a better job of telling parents that late registrations miss the first week of class. What? They had plenty of time to put the kids on the roster, and the charged the family and extra $20 for the late registration. [/quote]

That's horrible!  Where was the kindergartener for the hour that he was missing??  I hope the parents got a full refund![/quote]

Fortunately,  they were signed up for after care, but it was a rainy day -- what if the kid had been dropped off at a bus stop alone in the rain? I don't think FLEX offered the family anything (other than a lecture to the fact that even though they paid an extra $20 in addition to inflated prices, even though the teacher had the kid on the roster days before the class, they were to only start the 2nd week of class). Insane.[/quote]
