I dropped off my son's water thermos at 9:00 AM, followed instructions to leave it at the office and email his teacher immediately, and he still was not notified until after lunch that it was there. Since many students bring their own water instead of using the drinking fountains, this was very frustrating and disappointing.

On school days, between the years 1977 and 1982, you could find me dining my lunch hours away in…read morethe assembly room-cum-cafeteria at Cole Elementary, home of the Bulldogs. (RIP, 1981, mascot "K.C.". The sure-footed English bulldog strutted the school's halls for many years with his adoptive owner, School Principal Mr. McTeer, who, unfortunately, may also require an RIP.) Excluding holidays and sick days, that's about 196 days of patronage so the 1 star rating is not prematurely appointed. Indeed I gave Cafe Le Bulldog many chances to tidy up their Sloppy Joes -- and their service. Although a fan of the tater tots, spaghetti with garlic bread, and chocolate cake, I received more than one too many overcooked vegetable and one too many spoiled or leaking half pints of Vitamin D milk. The cole slaw (potential play on words neither recognized nor utilized in my 5 years of attendance) was bogged down in mayonnaise; the weiner wraps were unredeemed by the most generous application of mustard and the Sloppy Joes were, not unlike Irritable Bowel Syndrome, a chronic disappointment. Being the young connoisseur of starches that I was, I compromised by scraping the gloppy brown diarrhea-like matter off the bun and nibbling in a circle around the stain the best I could. The cafeteria was ruled by a stern hostess who received the unfortunate moniker "Raisin Butt". I suspect agriculture as much as anatomy played a role here, for raisins were -- and still are -- a major food export of the San Joaquin Valley. Many of us toted raisins in our lunch boxes and we would receive even more raisins in our trick or treat bags on Halloween. Finally, as very few of you will remember, Fresno (big city neighbor of Clovis) is the title of a 1986 TV mini series about dueling raisin estates, starring the illustrious Carol Burnett. Needless to say, there was a draconian flair about the cafeteria which sometimes made the entire dining experience -- from the process of securing one's seat to ingesting and digesting one's food a little bit terrifying. In fact, I'd like to start a research project to determine just how many of today's adult IBS sufferers were produced at Cole Elementary during Raisin Butt's reign. Once you sat down you stayed in your seat. Hot lunch kids weren't allowed to mingle with the bagged lunchers. Boys weren't allowed to mingle with girls. Or at least, boys were relegated to one side of the table and girls the other. Food was not to be shared or exchanged, although I witnessed many a pie given up under the table for the right corn dog. If a ruckus could not be pinned on the responsible party we all paid dearly -- well above our $1.00 lunch ticket price -- by observing a silent lunch hour. And if a ruckus COULD be pinned on the responsible party, well... one time I opened my Bee Gees lunch pail and a spider dashed out from beneath my cellophane-wrapped sandwich (my Mom the joker!) and, naturally, I was startled and screamed and was ordered to sit on the stage, facing my 200 or so dining companions, all of whom were so very...childish, and finish my lunch which, in the later years (minor footnote), always included a Capri Sun. This experiment in public humiliation made me cry a little bit but it also made me stronger. Now when I frequent a restaurant alone, and look up from my meal to catch a fellow patron's lingering gaze I scream, "What in the goddamn hell are you looking at?!" from my quiet little corner. Still, despite the challenges and unpleasantries of lunching at Cafe Le Bulldog, and despite the appeal or lack of appeal of the day's prix fixe menu, there was always a long line to get in. They did a stellar repeat business; I often saw the same faces ahead of or behind me in line, across from me or at the next table over. Some of their names I knew; others I did not. I had a lot of dining partners here over the years, none of whom I've retained as friends, colleagues, love interests or playmates. Mostly I just watched the minute hand tick on the clock mounted above the exit door. Which reminds me... Time for recess.

Update: My goodness have we been with KidsPark for 10 years?!? Where has the time gone? As time has…read moremarched on our two oldest have aged out but our youngest; who also enjoyed KP's preschool program; still gets excited to go. Our oldest, now 16, loved KP. As a child with autism, it was difficult to find anyone in a care facility that word help. I remember the frustration, fear, & agony feeling like I was in this alone. More times than not, my boy would follow me to work and around; my shadow I'd call him, all while hating myself for desperately needing the respite. Literally KP to the rescue. Now let me be clear, it wasn't always kittens and rainbows; he loves it there and the staff is always lovely with him. However, there were times when he would become too overwhelmed & I'd have to p/u. KP is NOT a special needs facility, although they TRY to accommodate, have huge hearts, and typically won't turn a kid away for that reason. But sometimes it can all be too much for everyone. And it's never a good to stay in that situation. ALL mom's know that. In those instances it was better to bring my guy home. Where he could relax or fall apart in his own home with dignity and without fear of peer embarrassment. Now SPN Mamas: The behaviors that will get a call are the same as everywhere; KP will try to work with it a little longer than regular daycares though, @ least what I've found. "Plan B's" are always welcome for suggestions to the staff too. But any hitting, biting, self-harming behavior is going to be a ride home. Also, if "Bubba" won't redirect, then you have to keep in mind there are other kids there & they all parrot the "undesired" behavior. Additionally no electronics or toys. I know that's rough for some of our kiddos, but there is plenty there and you honestly don't want them or another kid breaking "that thing". Now as far as our other 2 NT (neurotyoical) babes; they loved and still love it. I tell everyone if they need a break to take their kiddos here. But please keep in mind the philosophy: "It takes a village". Your help and expertise on your SPN or NT kiddo is key. Together everyone can work to ensure your babe has the best time.

I never thought I'd be leaving a one star review because, at first, we genuinely liked Kids Park…read more My children looked forward to going, and I appreciated the fun activities and arts and crafts they were able to do in such a short amount of time. Unfortunately, my opinion completely changed after my 3 year old daughter was inappropriately grabbed on her butt by another child while in Kids Park's care. When I brought my concerns initially to a staff member, they said they would let the manager know , and after poor follow up I called again and spoke to another staff member , and on my 3rd call it was the owner, who told me she had spoken with the staff and that no one had seen anything happen. I trusted that response, even though it left me with unanswered questions. Because I still had concerns, I filed a complaint with Community Care Licensing. I recently learned that my complaint was substantiated and that Kids Park was investigated in connection with another complaint. Learning this made me feel like I had not been given the full picture when I first sought answers. I hope Kids Park takes meaningful steps to improve supervision, communication, and child safety so that no other family has to go through what ours did.
