Wonderful and amazing teachers. My daughter loves school and has so much fun socializing with friends. She's become more independent and is always helping.
Annie LinFeb 10, 2026My son started attending here last fall, and we absolutely love it! He’s excited to go to school every single day and always comes home talking about what he learned. Seeing how happy he is makes all the difference. The school is bright, colorful, and feels like a giant indoor playground—there’s so much for the kids to explore and enjoy. They also have outdoor playgrounds on site and a cook who prepares all of the children’s meals, which is amazing and gives me so much peace of mind. His teacher, Ms. Adela, is truly wonderful. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and my son adores her. The school also goes above and beyond by hosting fun events for the kids and families, like trunk-or-treating, pasta dinners, Christmas shows, and ice cream nights. The entire staff is incredible. We feel so lucky to have found Kiddie Junction and couldn’t recommend it more!
Rumayre ValdovinosFeb 6, 2026If I could give Kiddie Junction more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Kiddie Junction has not only taken exceptional care of my daughter from 6 months to 2 years old, but they’ve truly become like family to us. My daughter has learned so much—she was potty trained by age 2 and has grown into such a social butterfly—and I fully credit the incredible teachers and thoughtful curriculum for that growth. We are beyond grateful for the love, care, and education they provide every single day.
Amber B.Dec 19, 2025I have all 3 of my kids enrolled at KJ. My daughters are in the pre-k3/2’s room & my son is enrolled in the infant classroom. My kids started at KJ around 3 months old & have been thriving since. My children come home gushing about how much they love their friends and teachers everyday. I’m a working mom and it’s hard leaving my kids but KJ makes it easy for our family. Majority of the teachers are mothers and will treat your kids like their own. My kids also come home well socialized and have learned so much in their classrooms. KJ also hosts so many fun events for families. From Easter bunny breakfasts, grandparents breakfasts, ice cream socials, school field trips, Halloween trunk or treats, Christmas/Spring shows - it’s so much more than a daycare. We love attending all of these events and are so happy to be apart of the KJ family. I’d easily recommend this school to anybody.
Ngoc LamOct 24, 2025I was at Arndt Park where I saw how attentive the staff were to the number of kids that swam in the pool. The kids were amazing listening, swimming, and in safe hands. The staff i met is superamazing making sure everyone and everything is accounted for. I know if u have kiddos that need safe adventures while you work etc..highly recommend Kiddie Junction Day Camp to keep your kids engaged, having fun,safe, and meet all your needs.
Pat AZAMJul 29, 2025Kiddie Junction is very well run by people who really care about the kids and families. The owner is very passionate about her business,and employees. I definitely recommend this educational institute.
