We love In The Zone! It’s the best childcare facility around. We have 3 children that attend here. The staff is caring and treats our children like their own. The communication between parents and teachers is great! I love being able to check the app and see how my kids are doing throughout the day. I cannot recommend this place enough!

ITZ has been apart of our family since our son was 1, and now this is his last year there before kindergarten. Our daughter has been there since she was 9 months old and we plan to have our newest go when he/she is born. They hire the most wonderful staff who care for our children as if they were their own. When there is ever an issue their door is always open and we always feel heard. I 100% recommend their services!!

Just an amazing place for my child to attend. She has learned SOOOOOO much in her short time there. She loves going and being with her friends. Also, the staff is outstanding. I can’t recommend them enough!
Also, I’m a teacher in the Ocean Springs School District and have been there for 13 years. I am born and raised here. Vince and Lorra Burke (the owners of ITZ) are tireless supporters of our schools as well as St. Martin schools. They are always there to provide everything from coffee and donuts at our first day back, or the annual end of the year party for teachers and staff. They work

I figured this would be a camp that would be good for the summer since it was the cleanest in the area and close to my place. The counselors literally looked at this as a paycheck, not remembering they once were kids. My kids would tell me they would yell at them if they didn't have control of all the kids. Usually I wouldn't take what my kids say serious, due to the child-to-counselor ratio, but I popped in unexpectedly at the bowling alley and saw it firsthand. Once they saw me it all changed. There's nothing worse than when your kids give you that "I told you so" look

My son has gone to In the Zone for their summer camp since he was old enough to attend. He loves it, I wouldn't take him anywhere else. The staff is wonderful, the facilities are great and for a proves that's right at or slightly less than most daycare he gets to go to all kinds of fields trips. He looks forward to it every summer and I feel good about him being there. They run a great program and if you need child care in the summer or after school, don't bother looking anywhere else, you should take your kids to In the Zone.

The employees here are VERY rude. Everybody from the management down has the do as I say not as I do attitude. If you know the employees you can get away with anything, if you don't then be prepared to follow the rules. The parties that you pay $150+ for are rushed and the employees are rude about running you out of the room. I was there at a party, if I was paying there would have heard about the crappy service. While the room we were being so rudely run out of, so another party can use it, while there is another empty party room. Be warned DO NOT USE THIS PLACE.

My child is currently enrolled in summer camp for the second year and he loves it! He loves getting there early because he likes the free play time. The staff is excellent and professional. They take good care of the children and he has yet to come home with a single complaint! He stays so busy and plays so hard that he is worn out by the end of the day. He loves the assorted activities and is excited to go each day. I don't know of another camp that would make me feel that he is cared for as In the Zone.

The staff at ITZ is amazing. Ginger and Jessica have bent over backwards to love on my daughter and make her happy and comfortable. I have two daughters there and we have done the summer camp. The trips in the summer are huge! My daughter got to do so much more than she could have done with me. I love that it has a Christian base. I super love the cameras which helped me survive the first couple months when my preschooler was getting acquainted and we were both going through a huge transition. As for another review of someone who just toured the facility? You cannot review somewhere based on that

My children love attending In the Zone. The staff is really involved with the kids, getting down on the floor during classroom instruction and play to interact with them on their level. My 4 year old son can write his entire name, do simple addition problems and is even beginning to read a little. My 2 year old just loves his teacher, is really coming out of his shell and can engage in a real conversation about his day if I'm patient and let him think a little bit. This is a great preschool full of love, education and fun for the little ones.

My 7 year old son has been attending In The Zone's After School program and Summer Camp for the past few years. He loves it! The summer camp is an awesome program and the price is very good considering all the cool things they get to do. It would cost me far more if I took my son on these trips personally. The staff is very knowledgeable and do a wonderful job of keeping me informed. I recommend it! Thumbs up!
