Most which had been more than 5 years ago, and it appears a lot has changed since then. That said, I have to do my due diligence to leave a review. I had enrolled my son (7) to KKRB in 2023 for the convenience it is across the street from Riverview Elementary where he attends school. We want the best care for our cubs, right? So we scope out the ideal place with the people that provide the proper care for our babies. At the beginning I had found the staff to all be very kind, caring, and compassionate with all that they do. Gradually, overtime, I kept receiving reports that my son is defiant, bothersome to others, and it's your son, your son, your son. The bigger picture? My son's needs weren't met (he has asthma, doesn't want to play outside and was urged to be outside). As he may be defiant or bothersome to others, I empathize the annoyance of such behavior, but he has special needs. He is formally diagnosed not just with one diagnoses, but with two. The staff was informed, but in the course of time, I felt unwelcoming vibes and the off energy of wanting to be there to care for my son. My son verbalized he hates it there, and others are mean to him. I know my son has a lack of interest, too transparent, and non-participant of activities. BUT he has ADHD and Autism. He isn't a victim of these, nor does this define him. However, I believe all staff should be educated in the care of kids with special needs not just with my sons' diagnosis, but with any kid that comes through those doors for your services. People who work/care for kids should be certified or educated with the tools on how to manage these types of babies/kids. We all need to be made aware and educated than to be ignorance of the stigma in that it is the kids behaviors and not the care providers. Only then, we can foster an environment for kid's personal and developmental growth. Thank you!

I went to my son's field trip and was lucky enough to be one of the chaperons. I did not even realize this place existed. It is located off of Herndon and VanNess next to the golf coarse. I was already skeptical because that just didn't sound very outdoorsy. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they are located right next to the San Joaquin River and we were able to try out canoeing. We were also educated by some very friendly knowledgeable guides. The students were able to play some simple fun educational games about animals of prey and predators. We also learned about tracking animals as well as the local fauna. I really enjoyed this wonderful educational experience and wish to come back. However, it is an FCOE owned organization and it is not open to the public. It is open to schools and teacher's with their students. Maybe I can become a volunteer Docent or look for other ways to conserve and educate. I believe there is also an organization that will have you canoe your way through the river while picking up trash. I will pick up trash if that means I can come back and canoe! www.scoutisland.org

I came across this location and luckily I was able to get him in there! It's closer to our home. He's in the Summer Blast Program and so far, so good. The employees all seem pretty nice & my son has came home each day and said what a blast he's had. I like that they provide meals & so many different activities for the kids. It's a little pricey but worth it if you need care. I also like that they don't charge for the hours and that it's a one-time fee for the week. You can drop them off between 6:30am and pick them up at 6pm. The parking can get a little packed but it's a great place for your kid to be if you need care!

The staff was friendly, especially the ladies at the front desk. Those were two very big positives. They also fed the kids which was nice. However, my child kept getting incident reports, multiple a day. I started to feel really down on myself as a parent. I didn't know what to do because the behavior wasn't the same at home because she's an only child. I got calls to pick up my child, but I was at work. It was hard. I understand safety is important but my child was not even 2 years old yet. She had to be taught and sending her home wasn't teaching her. She never bit a kid. She was rough or ran from teachers in the class and on the play yard. I feel like that's normal behavior for not even being 2 yet. She needed exposure and to be taught the expectations. I don't understand how she could be doing such bad things to be sent home. I finally ended up pulling her because my husband was told she was sitting in the office for an hour crying the whole time. My husband took off work and picked her up and she was sobbing and couldn't stop. He sent me a video and it was awful. Toddlers should not be treated that way. I didn't feel comfortable. That was not appropriate punishment for her age. I teach 5 and 6 year olds and we don't have them sitting and crying for an hour. I never took her back. Safety is important, I know. They said they were following rules, okay. I completely understand them having to follow the rules. It was just not for my child, so we left. She was there about a month. I waited to review because at the time I didn't know if my child was just THAT uncontrollable. No. I feel like she needed to be taught and needed AGE appropriate redirection/consequences. She's at a new daycare now doing great for the past 8 months!

What I thought would be a headache for my child to do online learning for second grade, they eased into seamlessly for him. Any issues that arose with online education were communicated to me. My son is vocal about childcare he doesn't like, so it was a pleasure to know he looked forward to going here. The activities kept him interested and eager to attend. When online learning transitioned into hybrid learning, they communicated to see if my child would be attending school in person, so they could bus him to and from the center. I can't say enough great things about how well me and my child were treated while there!

It wasn't cheap, but well worth the investment. The staff that ran it was really friendly and engaged with the kids. They had superhero capes and masks for the kids to wear while they were there. The activities each day were superhero themed, and the kids did crafts besides just Lego things, too. They also email you a link the first day to a google drive where they post a few pictures each day so you can see what your kid has been up to. I thought this camp was a great investment. Long enough for him to have fun and for me to get things done, but not so long that the whole day was gone or it got boring. They still have some camps this summer. Definitely worth doing!

The staff are young, energetic, and amazing. Our (hyper active twice-exceptional) kids were *well* taken care of all week, so mommy and daddy could visit with other adults(!), and go on quiet hikes, and exciting adventure activities! However, a member of my family was offered (multiple) jobs at the camp, and learned that the staff are paid $325 per week, for working 6 days at 12-16 hours per day. Since the staff are given camp food and housed in shared cabins, there is some sort of math that makes this non-criminal. This is exploitation, and not the sort of thing I would expect out of an allegedly philanthropic organization. I will still be returning.
