We just got back from having our son's birthday party at Rolling Robot Glendale's new location (201…read moreN Brand). And everyone had a blast. All the parents kept saying this was such a unique and great party idea. All I can say is where else would you have a robot making party! I honestly never walked into Rolling Robot to book. I booked my party online and it was extremely easy. Naomi called me a few days before the party date to confirm the number of guests and also to warn me that they were moving to this new location. She informed me of where to park and that they would be able to meet me with a cart to haul our party supplies into the location. The one unfortunate thing which wasn't Rolling Robots fault was that on the party's date, Brand Blvd was closed due to Cruise Night. So traffic and parking was so tough! While driving to the location, Naomi called to make sure we were ok and I informed her that we were close by but the roads were closed. After we parked and was walking towards the location... I see Naomi with the cart! She was SO super friendly and nice! So due to the Cruise Night.. many of my guests were late. Naomi had gotten one of the other staff members to help guests locate the building. Those guests that were familiar with the old location commented that the new location was nice and large with better parking. The party flow was good... guests get to battle bots, then they get to create their own robot, then food and then finally cake. Naomi and her assistants were so patient and informative... the kids really enjoyed themselves (age range from 4 to 7). Even with a couple of kids being late, one of the assistants helped get them up to speed with the rest of the group. I'd definitely recommend this place for a party! Parking: There's a parking structure right behind of Rolling Robots which is on Orange St (Orange and Wilson). For guests, it would be great if there was an easy entrance from the parking structure to the location. Although there is one.. it's mostly for elevator access. But there is street parking. We booked for two hours... I'm not sure if you can book for longer. If there was an option, I think extending to a total of 3 hrs would be better... the kids really enjoyed battle bots. The time to make a Robot was probably just right to keep the kids attention span. Thanks you rolling Robots for such a good experience. My son LOVED it!

He loved the variety of activities and made so many new friends. He came home with fun stories each day. I loved that they offered a variety of options from 2 days/week to 5 days. We returned last summer and an unexpected and sudden medical event threw our summer for a loop. They were beyond kind and accommodating. Michael, the owner, personally made sure we were taken care of at a very scary time and was just incredibly kind and communicative. I can't thank him and his staff enough for the support. I would recommend this camp for any family. Its like a classic, old-school summer day camp experience!

My son attended Adventurewood camp for the first time this week. For the most part he enjoyed…read morehimself -- particularly the characters they introduce throughout the week. However, we decided to pull him out for next week because of a very disturbing situation. He shared that a counselor had pushed him with both hands on his shoulders during a capture the flag activity. He had dropped his flag and was putting it back on when a counselor (he didn't know her name) pushed him back hard enough to make him lose his balance and fall. She also barked "you need to reset!" She didn't ask if he was ok or help him up. You'd think if this was an accidental push and he fell over she would say something like "sorry bud are you ok? Here let me help you up" but nope, not a word. A friend he's attending camp with witnessed the whole incident. Since I pick them both up in the afternoons they both recounted this situation to me and both of them noted how inappropriate her behavior was. I immediately reached out to Michael, the owner of the camp. He said he wanted to identify this counselor and get her side of the story. Understandable. My son felt uncomfortable going back the next day but I reassured him it would be handled and offered to drop him off in the morning and stick around to talk to Michael and the counselor. I wanted him to feel safe. Michael identified her (her name is Carson) and said he wanted to talk to her first, which he did a few feet away from me. I heard her say she didn't push him. They then walked over to me and she again denied everything. So we asked both kids to come over and recount what happened. They both did -- in front of her -- and reiterated she pushed him. She denied even touching him. So Michael suggests at this point that perhaps it was an accident and my son responds by saying "how do you push someone like that by accident?!" No response. So I ask her, are you saying these kids are lying? She again said she didn't touch him and at this point we send the kids away. I'm incensed because not only does she gaslight both of them to their face but tells this bold faced lie to her boss in front of the campers and me. I tell her I believe them and I think she's the one lying. At this point she gives me this dirty look - angry, irritated and almost rolls her eyes at me. I turn to Michael and say "and now she's giving ME an attitude?!" Unbelievable. In a follow up call, he tells me how good of a person she is and that this is shocking for him to hear but that she doesn't seem like someone who would do something like this...that she's getting her teacher credentials and he knows her really well. I am getting the vibe he doesn't actually believe any of this and he sounds very skeptical. I respond by telling him that it's almost always surprising when people exhibit bad behavior and that even teachers do bad things...that doesn't make her any more credible in my eyes. He acknowledged that. In fact, it's worse because I would be really concerned to have someone like that teaching a kid. Lack of empathy, accountability, and integrity. I mean, I think it's great he's trying to have her back but there are moments in life when you need to draw a line and act swiftly...these are one of those moments. Because ultimately, this impacts the reputation of your camp. I told him that it would be good to offer training to his staff in case this ever happens again in the future and honestly he sounded baffled and asked me to clarify...I said well maybe tell your staff not to give dirty looks to a mom who's clearly upset that her son just got pushed by a grown adult at summer camp?? I told him that the response to this situation could've resulted in a totally different outcome. Had she said something like "I really don't recall pushing you but if I inadvertently did and made you feel bad I'm sorry - I didn't mean to do that" - I would've went home that morning feeling fine about the situation. When I told him this he said that he's not going to police all her reactions, that she's still young, that she's still learning and made all kinds of excuses for her. Exhausting. Apparently she got a "warning" and will sit out of the flag activity (umm, ok...). He seems like a smart guy and wish him nothing but success in the future and I was earnestly trying to offer advice for how to handle a situation like this better but it fell on deaf ears. I really hope that some kind of learning comes out of this for both of them. Oh and to top it off, my son's friend told her mom that Carson was giving her looks several times throughout the day today and when she asked what kind she said "side eye" looks. NOT COOL. My son also said she was kind of mean to him but wondering why they were even in close proximity when Michael said they'd absolutely be separated and would not see each other? Validates we both made the right choice by pulling them both out. He offered a refund but I'm still pissed about the situation.

We ended up staying for over 5 hours because there was so much to do! The kids had an amazing time making their own monsters, giving them names, enjoying story time with a wonderful lady who read with so much enthusiasm, and creating a magical potion. They were especially excited about the colored potion and kept talking about it afterward! They also got to plant a seed, enjoy the water play area, ride tricycles around two little loops, and play with the boats in the blue sand. There were so many activities to keep them entertained! One of my favorite parts was how sweet and engaging all the employees were with the children. They even played with our kids in the pretend grocery store, which was so adorable! You can really tell they care about making the experience special for the little ones. Admission is $17 per child and adult, and honestly, it is absolutely worth it! We spent more than five hours there, and the kids had a blast. Thank you so much for creating such a fun, welcoming, and memorable experience for families.

I do think this place is overpriced, it's essentially an indoor playground, maybe it's good for when it rains.

They need some toys and sensory items I think, and more stairs... babies love stairs for some reason. They try hard but I'm so annoyed by being charged for something I didn't purchase and now having to fight it that I won't return.

There was one room called "The Dungeon" (at least by the kids) that had air conditioning for the end of the day. Unfortunately, the place decided to have the windows changed during my kid's week at camp. So, Tuesday there was no respite from the grueling 94-96 degree heat. They were supposed to build a go kart. One with no brakes. So what good is it for going down a hill? On Tuesday they learned a camper and counselor from the previous week, who was interacting with this week's counselors, tested positive for Covid. Cut to Wednesday morning. The camp had no contact with the parents to let them know of the potential danger. The gates were not open at opening time. There was no one anywhere to inform parents. Some parents dumped their kids and took off, assuming they'd be taken care of. Turned out they decided to cancel the camp on Wednesday. At this point they should have given a full refund to all the parents. No one was gonna finish their builds with one of five days lost. Then they cancelled Thursday. But, they actually were hoping to get our money for Friday. Luckily the counselors were so freaked out they wouldn't come back. Can you imagine building something that takes 5 days in 3? They didn't care about the kids or their staff. They cared about the money. They kept all the money for Monday and Tuesday. We got nothing for that money except daycare we didn't need. They didn't even think to give the barely built go karts to the families with instructions, so they could finish them. Stay away. Stay far away! I don't know why there are shots of kids under trees, escaping the heat. There are no trees at this location. Just concrete and heat and sun blasting back up off the burning hot cement.

It…read morehas been a fantastic experience for us, and we cannot recommend the school and its staff / teachers enough! Over the past two years, we have found our son's program to be constantly thought provoking, exploratory, and supportive for him. The teachers have always been A+ from the toddler room to the pre-primary classroom to now the primary classroom. Our son is always positively talking about his teachers and classmate friends at home, and we attribute that to the nurturing and happy environment at Little Acorn. We also get daily notifications via the Procare App, which is quite helpful for us to keep track of his progress and fun throughout the week. We also participate in the lunch program as the food is cooked fresh at the school. This has really opened up our son's taste (he's certainly not a picky eater anymore!) and the ease of having a good lunch / snacks provided everyday is amazing. We highly recommend Little Acorn for any family looking for a great pre-school environment for their children. We feel blessed to have found Little Acorn when we first moved to the Alhambra area 2 years ago, and look forward to more adventures and learning for our soon as he continues in the primary classroom.

Our daughter spent a year and a half at Little Acorn, starting from when she was 18 months old…read more It's a great daycare program filled with thoughtful and caring teachers, enriching activities, and overall, is a structured environment that supports the children well. In particular, I cannot say enough good things about Ms. Amanda's Toddler classroom. Our daughter came home weekly with beautifully crafted art projects and we received regular photo updates from the Procare app, which gave us peace of mind when she was so little. She also began potty training around 25 months old when Ms. Amanda noticed that she showed interest, and I attribute her potty training success to the consistent effort and support reinforced by her and the rest of the teachers. Another positive is that our very picky eater has been a big fan of the hot lunch program, which is cooked on-site (thanks Ms. Gene!) I would remove a star as there was quite a bit of staff turnover right as our daughter switched into the Pre-Primary classroom. This was unfortunate as the ever-changing staff made the transition more challenging for our child, and she had a bit of a regression. However, once Ms. Nona was instated as the main teacher, she was patient and worked with our daughter, meeting her at her level until she got over the hump. Though we're sad to leave Little Acorn, we're grateful that this program set our daughter up with such a great foundation. We will miss all the teachers at Little Acorn!
