When I first planned to send my daughter to daycare, she was just a little over one year old. I was honestly very nervous and wanted to find the best place for her, not only somewhere she would be well cared for, but also an environment where she could learn, grow, and develop. I toured four or five different daycares before coming to Kids Adventure. From the moment I visited, I felt confident that this was the right place for my daughter. The school was clean, spacious, and welcoming, with a variety of meals, a great daily schedule, and many activities designed for the children. My daughter has learned and grown so much. She has become more confident, learned to greet people, sing and dance, count, and understand so many things we ask her to do. Most importantly, she has been loved, cared for, and encouraged every day. A very special thank you to Ms. Vanessa from the Infant class. My daughter used to cry so much whenever she was away from me, but Ms. Vanessa was incredibly patient, loving, and caring. She helped her feel safe and comfortable, and that meant so much to me as a mom. I feel so happy and grateful that I chose Kids Adventure. Thank you to all the wonderful teachers for being such an important part of my daughter's early years. We will always appreciate your love and care. Wishing the school and all the teachers continued success and many more wonderful years ahead! read more

My son attended Kids Adventure Learning Center for a year and a half, and I couldn't be happier with our experience. During his time there, he grew tremendously, especially in his social skills and confidence. It was so reassuring to know he was in a safe, nurturing environment every day. The school follows a structured daily schedule filled with engaging, age-appropriate activities that kept him excited to learn. They also offer wonderful enrichment programs, including a weekly soccer coach and a weekly musician, both of which my son absolutely loved. He made great friends, looked forward to going to school each day, and always came home excited to share what he had learned. One of the things we appreciated most was the amazing staff. Everyone was so welcoming and always took the time to interact with parents, making us feel like part of the school community. A special thank you to Ms. Ebony, Ms. Vanessa, and Ms. Naydine for their incredible care, patience, and dedication. They truly treated the children with so much love and kindness while supporting their individual growth and development. We are so grateful for everything Kid Adventure Learning Center has done for our son. We highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a caring, safe, and enriching environment where their child can truly thrive. read more

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible impact that this school has had on my daughter. Over the past year I have witnessed her growth not only academically but also as a mature and confident individual. The dedication and passion of your teachers and office staff have been truly inspiring. Their commitment to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment has allowed my daughter to thrive and develop a genuine love for learning. She has acquired so much knowledge and has made significant strides in her education. Moreover, the supportive and caring atmosphere at your school has played a crucial role in her personal development. She has become more responsible, self-assured, and socially adept, all thanks to the positive influences and guidance she has received. I am deeply appreciative of all the hard work and dedication that each member of your staff has put into making the school a wonderful place for students to learn and grow. Thank you for everything you do. I am so sad to leave this wonderful school as my daughter embraces public school district. This place will always have a special place in my heart for the amazing work they did. read more

Kids Adventure Learning Center - Moments at school - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Fullerton, California

We are grateful we came across Kids Adventure Learning Center in Fullerton. We looked at two other daycares, similar teaching philosophies and all in Fullerton, before deciding on Kids Adventure. The main reasons we chose Kids Adventure was because of the presentation and amenities of their facility, the warm and kind teachers, and staff we met, and the flexibility when it came to our request for specific accommodations. It will be just about a year that my child attended Kids Adventure, before moving on to a public pre-school through the school district. My child enrolled here at 27 months and there was no wait list to join. She was able to start right away, after all the appropriate forms were completed. The fee was competitive compared to other similar, local daycares and it was a great option to have weekly autopay (no check writing or bringing in cash every week). My child attended twice a week, full days. The directors and teachers were accommodating when we had to adjust her daycare schedule, once she attended pre-school with the school district. They were also understanding and accommodating when we had to adjust the time of when she was dropped off to the facility. During the first few weeks, my child had a difficult time adjusting to a specific nap time and interacting with the other children. The Purple Room teachers let me know of their concerns with nap time and how best to help her transition. I appreciated the concerns and the willingness to help her adjust, so she can get used to a routine. Each day, the teachers summarized her day and I was contacted immediately with any concerns or issues with her (e.g., sick, medical attention, etc.). Whenever I picked up or dropped off my child, I never had issues with parking at their facility. They have a front and back entrance. The back entrance had much more parking than the front. Only time I had to park on residential streets was during the holiday performance, where all the kids performed on one day, within a two-hour time frame. The sign-in and sign-out and pick-up was easy. I do appreciate their monthly calendar of events and the breakfast and lunch menus. At year-end, the were helpful with providing an annual summary of fees paid to their facility (for tax return purposes and dependent care flexible spending account purposes). I appreciated the various events around the holidays that were celebrated. There were Friday pot-luck-type parties for various holidays, and even a holiday performance by all the kids at the daycare. Although my child could not attend picture day, I loved that they offered it. One suggestion is that they should have a make-up picture day for the ones that could not attend. I would have loved to have professional, daycare photos of my child while she attended Kids Adventure. Pros: warm, kind teachers who consistently show they love what they do; accommodating directors; opt-in of text messages regarding various events and even pictures of some of the activities done during that day; clean, inviting facility; ample parking in the front and back; many events throughout the year for the child to participate in; Mother's Day and Father's Day events for the family to participate; thoughtful gifts from your kid around Mother's Day and the Christmas holiday Improvements: Alternate Day/make-up day for picture day; 6-month progress reports for parents (if there are behavioral or learning delays/disabilities); offer a longer time window for the Open-House events, or multiple times during the year for open-house events; checking water bottles more often (few times, my child had an empty water bottle when I picked her up); wiping children's faces more often (child had a runny nose sometimes and most of the times when I pick her up, her face was messy with dried-up snot or dirt) Overall, we are grateful for the staff and teachers at Kids Adventure and very much appreciate the care and attention they gave my child while she was there. It was a good experience for my child before attending pre-school with the school district. read more

We have worked with Kids Adventure Learning Center for many years and would highly recommend this Preschool. Whenever visiting we have always found the center to be clean, organized, and all the teachers and administrators have been very friendly and professional at all times. Their holiday events and graduation are always well organized, lively events for the children and families. The center is very inviting, conveniently located, and offers a variety of programs to children from Infant to 12 years old. Meals are included, as well as enrichment programs in Tae Kwon Do, Soccer, Dance, Yoga, and Music. We would highly recommend this center to local families in need of a great preschool! read more

We had to share our experience at Kids Adventure, as choosing a preschool was such a stressful decision! We have been nothing but happy with our decision to enroll at Kids Adventure. From the amazing teachers who made our daughter feel so comfortable as she transitioned into the classroom, as well as the Directors who assisted each step of the way with our questions, calling to check on our daughter, and providing photos and extra info to ease our stress as well! We love the extra programs they provide such as soccer, dance, music, and tae kwon do, we can definitely tell our daughter loves participating and has learned so much. We feel very lucky to have found a center that has made us feel so comfortable leaving our little one and wanted to share this experience with other parents who may be struggling to find care as well, speak with Ms. Maria and Ms. Megan in the office you will not be disappointed with Kids Adventure. read more

Ms. Delmy is an excellent and very personable director, and the staff is kind, you can tell they honestly care personally about each child. They feed her nutritious food and she loves all of the learning activities. I'm so proud of her growth, and so happy that we chose Kid's Adventure that I am also enrolling my son. read more

Kids Adventure Learning Center What can I say about this place? We decided to put my son here because this facility is on my way to work even though it a little deviation from my normal route. Price is comparable to others. My son's been attending KALC for a month now. Pro: 1. Big facility with big playgrounds compared to other places we visited. 2. Staffs and teachers seem genuinely care for the kids, at least in front of us. 3. Open from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM 4. They provide breakfast and lunch. 5. Plenty of parking at the church parking lot behind the facility Con: 1. If pay by credit card, there will be a 5% surcharge. 2. They prefer debit, check or cash. Incidents: 1. Fell of the bench and hit his back side head on the ground nothing was broken. It took him a few days to be normal again. 2. He got bitten by another boy once. 3. Got 2 accidents, peed in his pants, during nap? The question is how often they ask the kids to use toilet per day? Side Note: 1. Someday his water bottle is still ¾ full and when ask teacher if they boy has been drinking water throughout the day, the teach said "Yes". I was wondering why his bottle is till ¾ full? 2. Most of the days he is hungry and asks for food on the way home. I often give him some snack before got home for dinner. 3. Overall: We are contended with this place. So far he is improving his social skills. The reason for 4 stars is no one is perfect. I recommend this place. read more

I have found a daycare I can trust with my babies and that's the best feeling in the world! My girls have been here for a year now and this is such an organized beautiful daycare. All other the teachers and staff truly love these children. I know my kids will look back on their younger years appreciating their time here. Thank you KALC! read more

Kids Adventure Learning Center is by far the best daycare in North OC. They're open from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., which is better hours than any other facility in the surrounding area and that helps us a lot with our crazy work schedules ! Plus their teachers are all fantastic, they genuinely care about your child and they take great pride in providing a warm, caring environment for the kids. Lots of fun activities proposed especially over the summer ! I have a two year old currently attending and she absolutely loves it ! read more

I'm VERY upset that positive reviews are listed under the Reviews NOT recommended. I seriously love this place. It saddens my heart that Yelper 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!!! read more

I made a review previously about my first impression. Many years later, I sent my 3 year old son here. My son is happy, articulate for his age, good recognition of words, and vocabulary.... fairly smart, and exceedingly friendly. The Director is friendly, informative, and straight forward. She is trustworthy and an excellent face for this preschool. Most of the teachers are very friendly and warm and kind to the kids and I feel probably in the right field. I think it's a friendly and warm family style environment. All high marks in those area but nobody is perfect. Everybody has pro and con / strengths and weaknesses. My issues are with the lack of intelligent mindful structure, meaningful academic teaching, and inability to communicate and follow parental instructions about their own children. If your philosophy is free and loose upbringing and you are what most would consider a "permissive" liberal parent, then this is a good environment for you. If you're more like me and feel that structure, discipline, and academics is crucial, then in my opinion, you are better off going elsewhere. For my own family, this is not the right place but I do not think this is a bad choice for other people who view upbringing differently. This is simply a personal choice for me and my own. read more

I love Kids Adventure! They have so many activities and special events for the school. They make you feel included as a parent and act more like a real school than a typical daycare. The Halloween event was so fun and the graduation ceremony for the kids going off to kindergarten was well organized and a grade school worthy production. I really recommend this place and have nothing but good things to say read more

My 3 1/2 year old daughter started the school 2 months ago. She goes twice a week. So far, we are loving it. Teachers are super nice and real attentive. The food is "ok" but you get what you pay for in terms of tuition. I'd rather feed them better food when they are at home. the class sizes are small and the teacher to student ratio is ideal. Place is clean and the front office is well organized. The staff is attentive and very responsive. I've seen them deal with "challenging" students and they have a lot of patience. I was peek into the "infant" area and they are always well cared for. And the place smells and looks CLEAN!!! Super important to me. We visited 5 other schools around the area and loved the this school. so far so good. read more

This was my first time ever putting my daughter into daycare and it was the worst experience ever. The staff were nice but I felt like they were EXTREMELY dishonest. My daughter came home several times with her pants and underwear soaked in pee, everytime I would call and ask the daycare why, they would just deny it saying that they can't physically tell if the kids have peed themselves. My daughter never has accidents like this so I really feel like they were just neglecting her or not paying attention because this happened more than three times. She also would come home STARVING several times, so bad that my mom would have to tell me something because i'm in school fulltime and not able to get her myself so my mom would be responsible for picking her up and she would always have food ready for her to eat because of how hungry she would be. It got to a point where I had to pull her out and put her in another daycare and she now attends a new one that she's been going to for a month and not once has she ever came home starving or with pee in her pants. If you don't want your children being neglected I highly recommend not putting your child in this daycare. Kindercare company highly trusted and a way better daycare that I would recommend. read more

My son loves this school. The teachers are so patient and very attentive to the kids. I also appreciate the efforts the teachers put to prepare the preschool kids for kindergarten academically. The director and the office administration are also very accommodative to your kids need and well being. They accommodated my son's speech therapy session. I am very grateful for that. I recommend this school to my family and friends. read more

We loved everyone there (accept one of the preschool teachers who was continually rude to anyone who wasn't her favorite). My son loved learning Spanish and loved the performances -- and loved how they prepared him a vegetarian lunch. However, they don't typically follow the daily schedule they post, nor do they really follow the weekly learning themes. I was really excited about my Pre-Ker to learn to use the computer -- in one whole year, he used it twice, despite my complaining to the teachers and the director. My son loves doing art outside so I was thrilled when, during the tour, I was told they did outside art almost everyday. In one school year, he only did about 5 outside art "projects". Overall, this is a great daycare -- but it isn't a quality Preschool, nor a Pre-K. read more

We are so happy with Kids Adventure! At 6 months old, we found ourselves without childcare and toured what felt like 1000 daycares before finding this one! It is comforting to know that our precious son is in good hands everyday. We love all of his teachers, Me.Vanessa, Ms. Maria, Ms. Bertha, Ms. Yessica. We sometimes get pics of Tedy when we pick him up or art projects! So thankful for this place! read more

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 6th 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. read more

My daughter has been attending for about a 1 1/2 now and she loves it. Teachers are very caring and helpful with all kids. My daughter just turned 4 and is already right her name. Love it and would truly recommend it. read more

My son attended KALC in 2008 and we liked it so much that we also sent our daughter there. The school is divided into age specific classrooms and an after school program. The teachers are so patient with the kids from infants up to the five year olds. My daughter is currently in the orange room and soon she'll be in kindergarten. Ms Yvette & Ms Rosalia has been preparing the kids for "the big kids school" and I'm pretty sure the transition from pre-k to kindergarten will be a piece of cake. Kudos to all the Kids Adventure Learning Center teachers and staffs for guiding the minds of the little ones to be the best that they can be. read more

I've been bringing my son to kids adventure about a year and the staff is truly amazing. They are very attentive when it comes to all of his needs. We've been to another day care, and kids adventure is by far the most welcoming. Safety is always a big concern when you think of child care. And my kids adventure does an amazing job letting me know my son is safe and secure. They have a gated facility and pin code entry, along with a camera in all of the classrooms. They have definitely won us over until we can head off to kindergarten. read more

My kids have been going to kids adventure for 6 months. They have an excellent summer program. My family was very impressed by the graduation ceremony also. The Director Ms. Aurora has been great and very helpful with all our family needs. I am truly thankful for the teachers at kids adventure they helped my shy child socialize and speak up. I also really like the dual language program they offer in the pre-K room. The classrooms always look so creative and nice. I am 100% satisfied that we made the right choice for our children. read more

Both of my children attend Kids Adventure Learning Center and we could not be happier here! The teachers are so caring and nurturing. The kids have learned so much being a part of this school. From the infant classroom through to the TK classroom the teachers and classrooms are wonderful. They also have dance classes, tae Kwon Do and soccer from ages 2-5. In addition the 4 year olds are being taught Spanish! My daughter is ready for kindergarten next year, because of the program at Kids adventure. She is learning to read and write, and is very confident in her abilities. They also potty train as needed for the younger kids!! read more

My children have attended Kids Adventure Learning center for about 2 years now in the Infant classroom and preschool classrooms. I have been so thankful for their loving, kind, generous staff. It was hard at first to leave my children, this being their first experience with childcare, but the Director and teachers made me feel so welcome and comfortable. My preschooler has learned so much, he even comes home telling me the new words he learned in Spanish as they have a Spanish Language program in his Pre-K classroom. I see his work come home and I'm so grateful for the time the teachers have spent with him on his writing skills, and math. He can now read small site words as that is another skill they work on every week in his Pre-K class. Another helpful thing for my family is their meal program, some schools we toured had a lot of unhealthy options, or you could bring your own lunch, but as a working parent I am so thankful to know my kids are being served healthy, appropriate meals and there was no extra fee for this service. Their afternoon extra-curricular programs are a favorite of my 4 year old, he loves Soccer with Coach Jeff and Tae Kwon Do also! I believe they also have dance lessons offered. I would highly recommend Kids Adventure Learning Center to any parent. Their combination of academics, safety, cleanliness, and most of all love for the children the best combination. read more

Love this place!!!! My husband and I are very grateful for everything they had done for my son. My son was very comfortable with all the teachers and that made me feel comfortable.

My daughter attended Kids Adventure for 3 years, and we only left because we moved to a different city. The teachers are amazing, and facilities are beautiful. My daughter was so happy there! We truly felt like she was loved, and we loved the teachers in return. Thank you for everything Kids Adventure!! You will always be part of our family! read more

Kids Adventure is wonderful. Clean and air conditioned with a shady outdoor space. The teachers are loving and attentive. Since enrolling my 3 year old son, he has learned songs, how to stand in line, how to negotiate new friendships, how to wait his turn, how to clean up after his activity is done, how to preform in front of an audience at the school holiday performance, how to eat the same nutritious food as the group at lunch and how to clear his plate after eating. This is just the tip of the iceberg. He also now write his alphabet and numbers. I love that he still naps at school and gets 2 big recesses outside to run and be rowdy. He also gets music lessons, dance lessons and Tae kwon Do lessons. I ask him everyday what his favorite part of the day was. He answered, "Everything. I like everything." People who care for young children are more precious than gold. I feel very comfortable knowing my son is being guided and readied for kindergarten at Kids Adventure. read more

Ive been bringing my 3 yr old daughter for 3 weeks now, M/T/W 830am-330pm-ish. She has had a rough time adjusting to being away from me since I've been home with her full time all 3 years. Miss Wendy and Miss Jessica are always so nice and have been so patient with my daughter. I haven't really had the chance to meet her other teachers because I mainly drop her off and my husband or my mom picks her up, but they both have said great things about all the teachers. My daughter has separation anxiety and cried every morning I drop her off, but I always leave in peace because I trust she is good care. I was referred by a close friend of mine and although I was skeptical about a preschool/daycare this place has been great to us. Its clean, the kids look happy and the teachers are all very involved. I am grateful my friend found this place and told me about it. Price is reasonable and they are flexible with our schedule. Leaving your baby/toddler/child is NEVER EASY, and I cried the first week I dropped off my daughter but I know it will get better. Despite my daughter crying at drop off, she has not said anything bad about her school. She says she has fun and her teachers are very nice, but cries because she misses me. Anyways, I hope this helped someone because I know how stressful finding a daycare/preschool can be. read more
