Director's Comments

Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?


Educate yourself on child brain development. Our expectations of young children are often propelled by getting into the 'right' school instead of what is a good fit for the child.

Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Wit h one daughter in college (Hamlin Gateway UC Davis) and another in high school (Hamlin Urban) it is still our knowledge that the best teacher the girls ever had was at this school. She gave them a foundation for a joy in learning, an expectation of respect, and so much laughter and kindness: none of us have ever forgotten the girls' years at Kids Club. They were incomparable.

Parent #2
It is a very caring environment with lots of room to explore and create - my child loves it.

Parent #3
Joanne, the woman who owns kids club...is meant to be a preschool teacher. She is educated, bright, happy, caring and engaged. She tried to fly under the radar and not get carried away in the preschool hysteria. I like that they LOVE each child and teach them continually.

Make sand at home! Half the fun is creating, and half is playing with the material. Mix all listed ingredients together in a plastic bin, and then give your child small containers, shovels, funnels so that they can dump and fill. Toy cars and bulldozers are also a lot of fun.
