Our Philosophy

Kids Adventures is dedicated to providing a safe, active, and enriching environment for children of all abilities. We foster a sense of caring, cooperation, and self-worth, allowing children to explore and grow as unique individuals in a safe and supportive setting.

We encourage children to interact with their peers and caring adults in an environment where activities are designed to meet their individual needs. These activities are age-appropriate, align with their skill levels, and reflect their interests. We offer a balanced mix of child-initiated and teacher-directed activities, celebrating the interests, home languages, and cultural backgrounds of each child.

At Kids Adventures, we believe that close collaboration between our families and our program is essential. Open communication between caregivers and parents ensures the success of each child's experience in our program. We welcome and invite all family members to participate in our Preschool and School-Age programs. Every member of the Kids Adventures family—staff, parents, and children—has the opportunity to contribute to the planning and implementation of activities that meet the unique needs of everyone involved.

Our staff uses positive behavioral strategies to support children, including providing choices, redirection, reflection, and problem-solving. We strongly advocate for the importance of early care and education, which plays a vital role in enhancing children’s current and future growth.

At Kids Adventures, our goal is to empower each child to excel as an individual. Through age-appropriate clubs, projects, and field trips, children are actively involved in the planning and execution of their experiences. Beyond core activities, they can also participate in enriching events like Kids Night Out, overnight trips, community service projects, and fundraising activities.

Our programs are thoughtfully designed with a deep understanding of each child's developmental needs. We strive to tailor our offerings to the unique needs of the community we serve, ensuring every child receives the support and resources necessary for success.

Our Mission

At Kids Adventures, we believe that quality childcare extends beyond meeting the needs of just the child—it should encompass the needs of the family and the community as well. We understand that families benefit from convenient hours, flexible care plans, and the option to participate in after-hours trips and activities.

Kids Adventures creates a homelike atmosphere filled with choices, where each child is valued as a member of our extended family. Our dedicated staff members serve as positive, enthusiastic, and energetic role models, guiding and supporting the children in their growth and development.

Children, parents, and staff are all integral parts of the Kids Adventures family. We believe that by including everyone in the planning process, we can establish clear boundaries, increase the enjoyment of the program for all, and, most importantly, maximize the FUN!
