The kids were outside all day, with a packed schedule of fun activities like kayaking, canoeing, archery, laser tag, yoga, dancing, and paddleboarding to name a few, not to mention fair like games and rides during free time. It was nonstop fun, and he loved connecting with old friends and making new ones. The counselors were incredible, so patient, positive and full of energy. A huge thank you to Jim (AKA Cardinal), the coach for the Bears group this past week! He made the week unforgettable, and my son won't stop talking about how much fun he had and how awesome his coach was. You can also buy food from them (catered daily from nearby restaurants) which is a huge bonus for kids like mine who aren't into cold sandwiches. We just finished 8 weeks back to back of incredible summer camps, and this was definitely a top contender for my kid. We will be back, and I 100% recommend Camp James.

I saw the blue blocks at some shopping malls and parks (not only in US but other countries) and my son loves it so I knew it would be perfect for my party since I had a limited space as well. I looked online and found very few people in US who works with the blue blocks and luckily one of the people was Becky in Orange County. How lucky! She was very professional and attentive to all my messages concerning my event. All kids enjoyed the blue blocks and they had to use their imagination to build whatever they want and it kept them really busy all afternoon!! Perfect!! We just put the blocks in my garage and voila! It became a simple, safe, educative and fun playground. I highly recommend OC Imagination.

As a new mom, the idea of leaving your baby in someone else's care can be terrifying, but the infant room staff made that transition so much easier. They took such thoughtful care of him, from warming up breast milk and feeding him to soothing naps and engaging playtime. Now that he is in the toddler room, he absolutely loves it. The fact that meals are provided is a huge help for me as a working mom. It is one less thing to worry about each day. He has made so many friends, learned so much, and truly adores his teachers. Potty training was another big milestone, and the support we received from the staff made a world of difference, even when we had lots of accidents along the way. Thank you, Kiddie Academy, for giving us such a wonderful experience. We are so grateful.

So we decided maybe get him familiar with the coding aspect and possibly move him into robotics in the future. We checked the Fountain Valley location but last minute decided to look into this location (Newport Beach/Costa Mesa). Both location seems very friendly and accommodating and of-course offer similar classes/schedules but this location worked better for us because it is closer to home and William T. was very prompt in returning my calls and answering any of my questions. The Fountain Valley location was a bit lagging in this aspect although they were just as friendly when giving us a tour. I highly encourage checking Codeninjas location in person to get a feel of the environment. Though I'm glad to stumble on this location last minute via Yelp and here I am reviewing it lol. I love love that there are extra clubs/camps offered as well to explore my son's interest. Again, one of the main factors in deciding on this location is William T. (Owner) thorough explanation and prompt response. Scheduling or dealing with missed classes has never been an issue. Highly recommend bringing little kiddos here. Location has variety of shops for parent to idle.

She was incredibly flexible with scheduling and working with me on the event planning. The location was easy to get to in Newport and the studio itself had the perfect amount of space for my group of 7 people. Be aware that you will have to pay for parking, but it's relatively inexpensive and done via app. During the event itself, Jeniece was patient and made jokes which we were very grateful for given that many of us hadn't painted or attempted visual art since high school. She provided the final product options and we voted on which we'd all complete. She was very attentive in the lesson -- she both demonstrated and walked around the class to see how we were progressing. She was incredibly positive with her feedback. I would recommend Jeniece and Art + Soul to anyone doing a work team event. Her flexibility and positivity were exactly what we needed!

Missed my flight, got five hours of sleep, and drove the kids to Newport for their horseback ride. I was a little nervous reading a review where an adult was led on his ride, however, this was not my experience. We had two adults and two small children in our party. One of my children was led by the pony for half the ride and then all of us were able to ride at our own pace with the most beautiful view of the water and beachside. Stacy was great with my kids and the horses. I was never worried about safety and the ride was calming. I felt centered for the first time in weeks after the ride. It was beautiful. She spent a lot of time with us. I am grateful for a wonderful 3rd birthday, thank you! We were just a little cramped in the beginning with another birthday party there. My children learned to paint hooves though, and that was an excellent activity to space out the two separate parties.
