Kids Adventure Learning Center

I am in love with this daycare. For years my husband and I searched for a place both great & with a fair price and boy did we struggle. So we came across Kids Adventures through Unilocal.And thanks to the great reviews (which are all true) we were so happy to have found this wonderful little school. The teachers are amazing so caring and patient. The school is in good shape, very clean and organized. My son started the preschool program and he learned so much and he had a blast. Then he moved on to the big kid room where he now gets all the help with his homework after school and still has time for fun activities with his friends while still learning. We couldn’t be happier with the overall experience we have had so far. If you are a parent looking for a daycare for your child I would recommend you stop in and let them show you their greatness :)

I have two children that have been to this preschool and they loved it. The staff is great very friendly and kind to the kids and parents. I would recommend this school in a heart beat.

This school is great my kids josh and savannah have been going here awhile and they love it, the staff is caring and attentive. They always keep the areas clean and fresh.

I can’t say enough about how much I love this school! I knew the minute I walked in we had found our home. The school is clean, bright, and the art on the walls is rotated frequently, depending on the season. My son started there when he was 4 and has been there about a year. He came in unable to write, recognize any letters or numbers, and now can write his FULL name from memory and knows all his letters, numbers, and more. He just had his kindergarten assessment and the teacher was impressed at how well prepared he was to start kindergarten. His teachers, Ms. Yvette and Ms. Rosalia are wonderful. They are very nurturing to the kids and implement effective discipline measures when needed. The school also puts on two annual performances which we really look forward to. The summer program is chock full of fun activities for the kids, with one water play day every week, for the same price as the school year! All in all, what a wonderful school. Run, don’t walk, and sign your child up. You will not be sorry.

Our son has been going for over a year now and he has excelled and learned a lot. We had one biting incident and they were very caring and met with us without evening questioning our concerns. He has great friends and is barely in the 3 yr old class and is already recognizing words that sound the same!

Great school and great care, the facility is excellent.
The stuff is supportive and caring.
My son was in very good hands for more than 3 yrs.

I feel the need to provide an alternative opinion to the negative reviews below (2 of which were written by people who didn’t enroll their kids). Both of our kids are enrolled at KALC and they’re thriving under the teachers’ care.
What we love about KALC:
1. The homework assignments (3 – 4 year old and pre-​K) build on each other so you can see how your kids are progressing through the year.
2. The craft projects are inventive and incorporate all 5 senses.
3. The facility is excellent.
4. Teacher-​parent communication is excellent. The teachers are happy to communicate both successes and struggles.
5. Parent participation is strongly encouraged. I love this because I feel like a part of the school, rather than just a bank.
6. The preschool summer program is excellent, with water play, carnivals, international day, etc. right on campus.
7. Prices are very reasonable.
8. They offer healthy breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack at no additional charge.
9. The hours (6a-​6p) are excellent for working parents.
10. They bus to several nearby schools. We anticipate keeping our children enrolled in the before/​after school care through 6^th grade.
My experience has been that the staff really care about the children. I’ve sat in on the classes and helped teach the pre-​K kids (thankfully only for a couple of hours) and appreciate everything the teachers have to deal with. It’s not easy but for the most part they handle their duties with grace.
As for the «lax academics» claimed by a previous poster: quality of education is strongly dependent on the individual teacher, as well as the competence of the administration. Our girls were previously enrolled in a NAEYC-​accredited preschool, yet I feel they’re learning much more at KALC. For example, when I asked about literacy at our last school, a teacher actually told me, «It’s the parents’ responsibility to teach their children to read.» Our last preschool was also (in my opinion) poorly administered, so even though I was paying hundreds more, the enrichment programs didn’t come close to what KALC offers.

I’m VERY upset that positive reviews are listed under the Reviews NOT recommended. I seriously love this place. It saddens my heart that Unilocaler Nickolas M contacted me and said «You’re child is nothing but a paycheck».
This was my response:
No, that’s not true. My son grew and matured SO much at KALC. It’s been over a year and he still remembers his beloved teachers. When he was there, he has bitten and was bitten as well. At that age, they don’t understand how to «use words» to express their frustration. These teachers are trained to understand and help our little ones overcome these obstacles. We as parents need to trust them and LET THEM DO THEIR JOB. When my son left KALC, I was crying because I was afraid that he would never find a teacher that he loved so much.
Also, I think that was very mean thing to do to contact a person who positively rated KALC to talk smack. You’re entitled to your opinion. I obviously stated mine, Write your own review. No need to contact others who felt different. I felt that every penny I paid was well worth it.
I have BUTTLOADS of happy memories and pictures from this school. I highly recommend.
Thank you KALC!!!

Had to give this day care one star. I had my son going here, he loved his school. Out of the blue he started biting. We got a call telling us if he was to bite another child he would be asked to be removed from the school. We broke that problem right away. Then we found out another child bit our son, this happen many times. We asked for the child to removed, but they kept that child. But we were told if he bit another (2^nd) time he would be removed but they kept a child who was known for biting and even had a toy to bite on. The real red flag was my son started screaming he didnt want to return to school, wouldn’t tell us why, a school he loved going to, he now feared and disliked. We never did find out why but had a feeling a teacher was being mean because I was pushing for that child to be removed. Had a meeting with the school, they didnt seem to care about the problem only if he was going to return (aka get their paycheck). I refused to pay for the 2 days he went that week and next 2 two weeks we tried to figure out what happen.

I absolutely love Kids Adventure Learning Center! My daughter is 3 ½ years old and has been at Kids Adventure Learning Center for the past 2 years. She started in the infant room, moved on to the 2 year old room and is now in the 3 year old room. I have really gotten to know many of the teachers and I feel like they all genuinely love their jobs and have the kid’s best interest at heart. My daughter loves going to school which makes me as a parent more at ease to go to work knowing she’s in good hands. I feel that my daughter learns a lot and impresses me each day with what she learned and how well her coloring and drawing has evolved. She is also a part of a dance program the school offers which I love because as a full time working parent I don’t have to run from school to practice to keep my child involved in an extracurricular activity! A+++ =)

First Impressions:
I went here today while conducting Day 1 search for a new day care for our 3+ year old daughter. We want a good mix of stuff for her, academics, social skills development and a playground.
Pro:
1. Large secure building w/​cameras and locks
2. Two good sized play ground areas
3. Friendly looking staff
4. Lots of kids (maybe 50+ in all) for good exposure
5. Separate classrooms for infants, up to 2 – 3, and 4 year olds
6. Great facilities, classrooms, etc.
7. Very good reasonable pricing.
8. Nice tour and packet to take home and review
Con:
1. I wasn’t impressed with the lax academics. Although the way they conduct their «theme» based programs sounds fun and interesting, it really sounded geared towards the lowest common denominator and not really for achievement.
2. Diversity wasn’t a problem but didn’t see enough Asians just to make me «comfortable».
While on my tour, the kids really seemed happy. Most were smiling or sleeping. It was a cute scene. I think this is a good strong option.
Remember this is only a first impression. Also, this is on our short-​list for our daughter. If we actually send her here, we’ll review it again in the future after having some exposure to how things are actually done.
