Palmetto Athletic Center

Experiencia fantástica: What a wonderful business we have right here in Lexington! PAC is a one stop shop for summer child care, after school care, gymnastics, swimming, karate, cheerleading, parent’s night out and much more! With PAC in Lexington I have a reliable source for after school care (and FULL TIME summer care) with options for extracurricular activities while they are there. No driving all around town for karate, swimming, and gymnastics – it’s all at PAC. Great staff, great facility!

Experiencia fantástica: I'm a physical educaiton teacher and I worked at PAC for summer employment and I must say that the children are very well taken care of. Steve and Ashlee offer a safe, and fun enviroment for all children that attend PAC. With children in grades K-5 I would be at ease leaving my child there for the summer.

Experiencia fantástica: My kids have attended PAC for over six years and we love it. I like seeing the constant improvements made by the PAC owners. It seems like a large portion of their profits are being put back into the business improving the quality of service. Running a business and managing people is not easy and can sometimes be unpredictable. I know with the number of kids and personalities the PAC team has to deal with things are gonna happen. I also know you can t make everybody happy all the time but Steve and the guys do their best. The PAC team have done well by us in our time of need. Great job Thanks guys!!

Experiencia fantástica: My kids have both attended Palmetto Athletic Center (PAC), and they have thoroughly enjoyed it! They keep my kids entertained and on the move, which is hard to do. My youngest (8yo) begs me to pick him up as late as possible because he has so much fun. They staff is wonderful with the kids, and I love the fact that the owners are both Christian and even offer optional devotions for the kids during parents night out on Fridays. If you are looking for a safe, fun, and caring environment for your kids, then PAC is the place!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: PAC offers more for my children than most other places combined. The staff is friendly and seems to be well trained. Any time I have a question or concern, the owners will listen and take action if needed. PAC has been around for a long time and continues to expand. Keep up the good work! I read the negative review and have a comment. Try dealing with a group of cheerleaders, their parents, the practice times, the competitions, the coaches the costumes and all that goes with cheerleading and show a profit at the end of the day. Then realize that was about one tenth of what you deal with on a typical day. Nobody will ever draft my bank account for anything. I will pay up front, pay in full or pay somewhere else. The rule is there for a reason. To write such a comment and question what someone teaches on Sunday is unfair. Maybe you could edit your review, lighten up a little and try a different approach when you have a problem. When you do feel the need to write a negative review, don't start off by telling somebody in business for over 16 years they have terrible financial practices. That is not possible.

Experiencia positiva: Been there once for a friend's kids b-day party. My kids enjoyed themselves, but not enough to keep them busy for long.

Experiencia fantástica: I’m a gymnast at PAC and love it there. I also do the after school program that is also good. I’d definitely recommend it

Experiencia fantástica: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value We love PAC for swim lessons! The communication was great and my kids learned so much. Can’t wait to get them started with their next session! We loved Coach Matty and Coach Rocky.

Experiencia positiva: Positive: Communication , Quality , Value Amazing experience!! Highly recommended!! Only bad thing about is that it's kinda dirty in there...

Experiencia fantástica: Great director, staff, and fun activities for the kids! My kids loved it here and we plan on coming back next summer!

Experiencia fantástica: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value Our son LOVED his camp experience! He particularly enjoyed that the camp counselors were ‘young’ as he put it bc they played with them. The Camp sent out a weekly newsletter to keep us abreast of activities & events. My son finally learned how to swim by coming here as well. Awesome place! Highly Recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value They are amazing here! This is my first year putting my children in swimming and both are doing excellent. I highly recommend them if your children need lessons.

Experiencia fantástica: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value I have had children attend PAC for almost 3 years and have had a wonderful experience. They accommodated well for families during the pandemic. Mindy Smith

Experiencia fantástica: In March of this year, 2020; we all started to be sent home to work and home-school as we had been notified that our Nation was amid a national pandemic. These words are so scary for a mother to hear. You start to worry; worry about yourself, about your children, your spouse, your family, friends, coworkers, etc. I tried to work full time and home-school, and I did well. There were days where I cried, the kids cried and we all and simply had enough. Fast forward, we finished and completed the school year. Summer now and I wanted and needed a mental break…the kids needed socialization again. They needed to be around kids their age. Something to do, something to see (other than me and other than the Xbox). I started calling around to see if I could find me a safe place to send my 2 boys for the Summer that a) I could afford and b) I felt comfortable enough sending them to as remember, they hadn’t left the house in months, and again, we were in the middle of a national pandemic. I called around, some were way overpriced…and some just didn’t really sound like my children would be engaged in too much while there all during the day. I started asking around to other mothers with whom I knew and who had kids the same age mine were. One mother said that her child had been going to PAC ALL this time…!!! I mentioned the word PAC to my boys and they jumped up and down saying, “Oh, that is the place we went for so in so’s birthday party…we jumped on all the trampolines, and played basketball and also did the slingshot!” I mentioned to my neighbor that I was considering signing the boys up and she said that she used to go to church with the Director! I immediately felt at ease and so happy I had found a place! I called PAC immediately and started asking several questions, mainly about procedures in place regarding Covid-19. I was impressed to say the least. This Director and staff had done their homework…the staff on the phone started quoting CDC regulations to me and it felt wonderful. I prayed about it and ended up signing them up for several weeks! It was wonderful! They were able to swim at least 2-3 times a week. They were signed up for Canteen which they were able to choose a fun snack daily after their lunch. I also signed them up for the Ninja class and they absolutely LOVED going to this class. Each went on separate field trips with their appropriate age group/grade level – with masks on! Having my children in PAC this past Summer has really increased my faith in Covid-19 and how little ones can be exposed…to other children….and don’t always come home sick, or having to go get tested, etc. The Director and her staff ensured this place stayed clean, also ensured that parents were communicated with when we posed any questions. I love the Director and staff at PAC and if you are ever looking for a place to send your children- this is IT!

Experiencia fantástica: Positive: Professionalism Great place with the best swimming instructors. My kids love their swimming lessons.

Experiencia fantástica: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value These past few months have been very stressful for many people. Having a child care facility like the PAC has made our life so much easier! Erica and her team have been so helpful and accommodating to all our needs. My daughter loves it there! I would highly recommend the PAC!

Experiencia fantástica: Always a great experience!

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff, awesome place for kids to be and play!! Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: We have used PAC for a lot of different programs (Kids Haven after school care, Parents night out, summer camps, birthday parties, and gymnastics classes) and couldn't be more pleased.

Experiencia fantástica: We've been very pleased so far with the gymnastics program and nice that parents can view their kids activity and the dedication and encouragement of the teachers during their session.

Experiencia fantástica: There are very good at there jod

Experiencia fantástica: We love PAC!!!! The office staff is always friendly and helpful and my child has a blast in after school care! Thank you PAC

Experiencia positiva: The 3-4 year old gymnastics class is wonderful. Katelyn is great and very encouraging. The facility on the other hand is filthy.

Experiencia positiva: I was a gymnast at pac and the teachers where nice but I think they need to push you a little less. But the rest of pac is good and I will be going back so I suggest you do to.

Experiencia positiva: My sons love this place but their administration staff isn't very helpful- plus they have this crazy app you have to move mountains to get access to pick up your child through the car line, NONE of this is mentioned while registering, I do wish they would explain everything about drop off/pick up when you register that way you aren't at the end of the day having to pull back around and then park, get out, wait for someone, then wait to have your child called, they were supposed to send me email with instructions and link for app but I had to call again and request it again, got the link and its some horrible designed app for after school pickup?? They require my childs school and nothing was set up like the front office staff said they would, I can not understand why any facility would us an app this horribly designed, just a bare app, no options to do anything! - Not a very good place for everyone, more for people who don't mind going out of there way to find out how they operate or paying more than the average cost of child care-

Experiencia fantástica: My girls love the coaches. Great place for gymnastics.

Experiencia fantástica: I go hear and it is most ly fun

Experiencia fantástica: My daughter has LOVED being at PAC!! She was a level 1 last year and is a level 3 this year! They put a lot of discipline into their competitive teams and my daughter has grown to love it there and doesn't want to go anywhere else! Looking forward to another AMAZING competition season!!
