Adventure Kids Playcare

Was visiting family for a few weeks, needed sometime without the kids and I was really worried to leave them in a daycare. Came and visited the center and I was really amazed the manager there addresses all my concerns in a sympathetic and professional way (I think she had kids of her own as well) her name was Walaa… my kids had a blast… even my 2 year old didn’t fuss going in Walaa was very caring with him… Well he did cry when I was picking him up he didn’t want to leave :)… I recommend this place ‚. And I am sure I will be using them again on my next visit. Thank you all for the care you provided:)

Not a good toddler experience. Might work for older kids.
Okay, the premises look fancy. You can see that the owner invested into the toys and electronics.
**Toddlers:
I brought my 2 year old social and outgoing child here for the first time because I saw good reviews, and because I needed a couple hours to myself that day. He seemed so excited to see the little city in the toddler area. When I came back to pick him up, they didn’t ask me for a password or anything. They just released my child. They also don’t ask for a shots record when you come for the first time, though I feel like it should be a must.
When I came in, my child was napping. And so was the rest of the kids in the toddler and infant areas. The creepy thing was that they were sleeping on their tummies. I asked why. The care provider said that they «TAP them on their backs to make them go to sleep». My little one isn’t a nap fan. How hard must they have tapped him to go sleep? Who knows. We will never know. They don’t allow you to get inside whenever you want and look though the glass window, like a good day care does. They hide with your toddler, and then after they know you’re here, they make sure everything looks good and let you in.
To my astonishment, the care provider SHOVED the toddler who stayed there and was crying next to the door. He wanted «mommy». The kid fell on the floor and burst into tears even more. All the care provider said after I gave her a shocked look was: «Sorry, kid». He kept crying and looked sad. I didn’t get an impression that the other younger kids looked happy there. The only «teacher» in the room was occupied doing some kind of project by herself.
I also paid for lunch. It was like a joke. 2 bagel dogs sliced into tiny pieces. How do I know it’s not somebody else’s unfinished food? Instead of a fresh fruit cup I paid for, he got condensed mandarins.
**Infants:
The infants room is constantly dark. Again, there’s no glass window, so no one can see what’s going on there. When I toured the room, the only baby there was being rocked by a swing.
**Older kids:
The older kids do whatever they want. I could reassure you they don’t prepare your kid for a kindergarten. This is not a substitute of a preschool, but could work as a relief for parents of older kids for a couple hours now and then.
Overall, I’d say it’s a good idea. The investment looks good. However, the care providers leave better to be desired. The staff is not professional and doesn’t know how to deal with kids. Nor are they friendly or smiley. And this is the management issue, to my mind.

This place is fantastic. The staff all know my son and really dote on him. They take great care of him and he is always happy. He calls it «the play with kids» because he gets to just play and have fun, and he in no way sees it as child care, haha. I love that I can drop him off with no reserved times and just use the time I need. Much easier than a sitter.
They require socks to be worn and my son is bad about shucking his socks and losing them, which is bad sometimes when he insists on wearing his favorite socks. The staff is great though – three times he has lost a sock in there and they have found it and held it at the desk for me. I know that may not sound like a big deal, but considering the toddler freakouts it has helped me avoid (plus the fact that it means they probably had to climb all in the play structure to find it), it is a really big deal to me. They are great!

I’m so happy we found this place. Very nice staff and great with kids including small children (my baby is 16 months). They took my baby when my nanny got sick suddenly for s whole week. Adventures kids allow us to go to work and now we want to use them as needed for the weekends. They also work with Bright Horizon.

Adventure Kids Playcare has been the answer to my prayers! When I need to run errands and also need my 4 year old son to get rid of some of his pent up energy, AKP has been perfect! My son loves going and I have never had any complaints. My son has been going since they first opened and regularly attends, not ONE complaint from me, at all. Anita, Melissa, Javon and all the girls I see at the desk when I drop my son off, are fantastic. Its unfortunate that a parent had a negative experience, but there are always 2 sides to a story. LOVE AKP and see you guys soon!
