I've been looking for Senior day center on the Windward side for my Dad for a year and glad I found…read morethis one. Located in Kailua in the same parking lot as St. Christopher's church, WSDC is a nice, clean and convenient center. What I like about them is they don't lock you in a commitment like other places do. You can go once a week or every day if you'd like and it's only $65 a day, which includes lunch, a few drinks & snacks, activities from 7:30am-5pm. Additional fees for after 5pm. They have quite few bathrooms, TV resting room with recliners, kitchen, a main room with music and tables and they have the chairs around the table so the Seniors can chat with each other. They give drinks, lunch and 2 snacks a day and 2-3 activities a day. They do have an outdoor garden where they can sit outside, but the helpers are at a 6-1 ratio, so they don't get to get up as much as I'd like mt Dad to. The staff is nice, CPR trained and one is a retired Surgical nurse. Their fairly new director Allison Bean is amazing! She is very caring, professional, knowledgeable and has an extent background in the Senior Healthcare business. Ample parking near the fire station and conveniently 5 minutes from Kailua town and shops. I would reccomend this place if you you ate looking for a Senior day care for a loved one.

We used to send my grandmother here about a year ago. My grandmother complained about one of the…read morecaregivers not being very professional. Violet seemed like she had a stick up her a** every time I or my parents would go in there to pick nana banana up. Lighten up lady i couldn't imagine you taking care of me all day. Asian/local looking girl with a lot of make up was apparently really rude to her and to one of her senior guy friends, so not cool completely unprofessional. For the first couple of weeks of her attending this place she would complain often but we didn't have another place to take her, we have now found a new care home with a competitive price to this place. She enjoys this new place, although the drive is a little farther for us she has a little more interaction, the nurses/care givers are pretty cool from what I can see.

Summer swim lessons: Enrolled my daughter in swim lessons…read morelevel 4 for the summer. She grew up in the pool, has been swimming since she was 6 weeks old. She surfs, she swims and dives with confidence. We have a boat and are in the open ocean frequently. I enrolled her in YMCA swim lessons level 4 to fine tune technical swim strokes. My experience-she was one of 2 students. She finished and was assessed yesterday and was marked as not meeting any benchmarks to level up to the next class. Problem with student? Or problem with instructor. I witnessed a lot of supervised play, sharks and minnows, cannon balls..$300 for 6 sessions. I don't and won't recommend or refer. Kids teaching kids.

Our daughter started at KA at 10 weeks old, very shortly after KA first opened, and (a blink…read morelater!) is now soon to graduate and head to preschool. KA has been spectacular through and through. The school is loving, nurturing, supportive, clean and full of fun activities. My daughter has thrived, with so many great friends and teachers, and so many fun things each day. She loves the play nook, book corner and circle time. Meals are all coordinated from a neighboring restaurant, so the kids eat well and with a healthy variety. They have a "book library" you can borrow from. AND They have parent-accessible cameras so you can check in on your kiddo through the day! We feel so lucky to have been a part of the KA 'Ohana and are so thankful. When I was dropping off my baby so I could head to work, I always knew that she would be loved, well fed, clean and cared for. After over 2.5yrs, they have done and been so much more. In addition to the amazing teachers, the management at KA are incredible. They are hands-on, friendly and accommodating, and truly care about the daycare and the children. When a child is hurt or sick or having a tough day, they will often be found on the laps of Ronna (the owner) or Keesha (the manager), so they can get some extra attention to help ease whatever the issue. We cannot recommend KA enough for your little one! Ps. Tell Keesha I say hi!!

They were all amazing and we especially loved Ms Kimmie and Ms Caitlyn, as well as Ms Keesha and the owner Ronna. My son was quite young when he began and I like that they kept the tiniest babies in their own room which (I think) helped reduce the number of times he got sick! We also had some behavioral challenges and greatly appreciated the level of communication, empathy, and willingness to try various approaches and solutions.

Review of baby classes:…read more What a welcoming, fun space, especially as a first time parent to an infant! Each staff member has been so warm and friendly, even when babies inevitably do their pterodactyl shrieks or start to get hungry/fussy towards the end of class. As someone who doesn't have family members or friends with babies, it was a great way to meet other parents and babies in around the same stage as my baby. Even though the babies in my class were in the 3-6 month range, it was so reassuring to see the diverse range of development and personalities, especially as the weeks went on. Every baby truly is a unique individual growing at their own pace! The location is in a building across the Ala Moana area Don Quijote. Parking isn't validated but it isn't too bad. People tend to zoom around the corners in the structure though and the turns are pretty tight so be extra careful when walking to/from your car, especially with baby! There is a bathroom outside of the office but on the same floor. When you get to the office, you take off your shoes and park your stroller by the door (sometimes get small kine traffic jam when class is done lol). You bring your own play mat or towel for baby to lay/play on during class (they have spares if you forget). The floor is somewhat padded. Each class starts off with introductions (sometimes there may be a new family who are making up a class from a different session). If you're late or if baby needs to eat (whether nursing or bottle) or take a break during class, you're completely supported! It's so wonderful that there's no pressure at all and everyone is so supportive. Again, as a first time mom, I feel like even leaving the house is anxiety-inducing and there can be so much judgement in other spaces. Sometimes I feel like the classes were just as helpful for me as they were for my baby in regards to helping my confidence as a new parent ‍ I should also note that it's not awkward if you're a single parent or if your partner has to work. Some parents showed up with just their baby. Some parents brought a friend or their own parent. All kinds of families are embraced! Sometimes we get to take a material home from class. For example, a month or so ago, we got to take home a shiny crinkly paper from class, which has since become one of my baby's favorite toys. He loves to watch it because it's shiny, listen to it because it's crinkly, and he squishes it with his fingers, arms, legs, and toes. He's since ripped it in two and I tried to buy what I thought was the same thing off Amazon but it's not as good as the one from TLD lol. They have lots of great ideas for DIY activities and tools, emphasizing that you don't need to buy expensive, "trendy" items to get great results for sensory play and motor skills! Even if you aren't able to attend a class, I still highly recommend following them on social media. They post such great tips and ideas, and they also occasionally host community events like family yoga, mom walks, and dad walks. I'm so, so grateful that our community has this precious resource available!

The coaches really kept the kids moving which is something my very active keiki needs. Likewise, the keiki always had the option to take a break in the shade, as needed, but most of them wanted to continue playing even during lunchtime. Ah, the exuberance of youth! Each day of camp, there were two coaches plus a third adult who was stationed at the shady rest area that helped with the check in/check out and was there to watch over any keiki taking a break. My just turned 6-year-old attended the Winter Camp 2022 at Central Park (aka Patsy Park) with coach Beau. He found coach Beau very amusing and excitedly shared with me some of the jokes and games after camp each day. It seemed like the perfect balance between learning skills, playing scrimmage and just good silly fun. I did see my son build confidence and have better control over the ball by the end of the week. Most parents drop off but you can come and go as you please with the kids playing in the open field and the coaches utilizing the shade during the hotter parts of the day. You will need cleats, a ball, lunch/snacks and plenty of water. Most parents dropped off their kids with that huge 'chugger' water bottle. I highly recommend this camp and hope to send my son again in the future. Aloha
