Kids Klub Pasadena Child Development Center | Preschool & Afterschool - Pasadena, California

I have a lot of great things to say about Kids Klub. The staff is wonderful, from the front desk to the teachers and admin, everybody always greeted us with smiles. The aftercare program is a huge perk, making last-minute babysitting unnecessary when working late, going on a date, or handling other commitments. The facilities are well-equipped and feel like a mini-Disneyland, and the curriculum is excellent.

However, our kiddo was overstimulated while at Kids Klub. He loved it, but found the open floor plan, intermingling of kids, and themed rooms too exciting. We found that he thrived more and didn't get in trouble as much in smaller daycare environments. This was only a challenge during daytime care - not in the evening/weekend program.

I would highly recommend Kids Klub to anybody who feels that their kiddo would benefit from more socialization, structure, and stimulation. If your kiddo tends to get overstimulated, I might recommend a more intimate environment.

Kids Klub has been such an amazing experience and resource for our sons, especially in their afterschool program. We have had three kids go through Kids Klub and two have attended their after school program. What's amazing is that we know without a doubt that our children are safe, well cared for and we can leave them there without worrying, which is a huge weight taken off of us.

I wanted to write this review in particular for the after-school program as they have gone above and beyond for our kids. Kids Klub has picked up our kids from elementary school and transported them back to Kids Klub. They're great about making sure that kids make it in and out of school and that our children were always supervised and safe until they made it into the classroom and they were dismissed. I was particularly worried about this during kindergarten as I wasn't sure how my 5 year old at the time would handle it. In addition, Kids Klub offers evening care in case we need to work late, they're able to care for our children and feed them dinner and have activities up until 10pm - this has been a lifesaver for us on many occasions. Both of our kids, 12 year-old and 5 year-old always love going and quite frankly, are sad when they have to leave. Just this last week our 5 year-old asked several times if he could stay for evening care rather than go home.

I can't say enough positive things about Kids Klub as my children have been nurtured, loved and cared for in a way that makes me know that they're safe and cared for. I will always appreciate and remember what a wonderful program and experience both myself as a parent and our children have had. I cannot recommend them enough

My 3.5 yo kiddo comes here since she was a baby. The teachers here are wonderful, caring and patient. The facility is clean, safe and organize. My child also loves the food there, they do provide variety of different type of lunch and snacks everyday.

Also need to shout out the front desk ladies - Ariel and Marilyn. Not only they always greeted us with big smile, but they also are very knowledgeable and help us in every single possible way. Our experience at Kids Klub is even better because of them.

Both of my kids have been attending Kids Klub since they were babies. I have two boys and the eldest just graduated from Kids Klub this year with such incredible experience. He is caring, smart, loving, respectful and well-rounded. I think a lot of these qualities were taught by the EXCELLENT teachers at this daycare since he was at a very young age. The daycare is very STEM driven. The kids definitely get challenged a lot. The teachers are on top of their daily emotional, physical, and mental growth. Overall, it is just an great place for young minds. For example, my eldest son just had a year of class with Miss Cynthia. When we went to a country in Central America, he was able to communicate in the country and also using four different languages. At the age of 5, I definitely think this is just remarkable. My one year old baby is the happiest little guy at Kids Klub. All his teachers, Miss Tiffany, Miss Jessica, Miss Bernie, can't name everyone just give them this warm and loving enviornment that he has the biggest smile each morning when he gets dropped off. He literally doesn't even look back at me and goes straight to his teachers. Lastly, I have to highlight their nights and weekend program. The helpfulness of opening late most of the nights especially Friday, Saturday, and Sunday have been so life-saving to our family. We don't have grandparents here in Los Angeles to help us watch our kids. Sitters are very expensive and being around our small house gets boring. So taking my kids to Kids Klub knowing there are great care is just fantastic piece of mind. Also a few times where babysitters canceled to us last minute due to whatever reason, we were able to call Kids Klub and send the kids there due to prior work obligations. We are just a big fan of the day care. The front desk ladies Ariel and Marilyn are literally the sunshines of Kids Klub. They have the biggest smiles in the morning and such loving cheerleeders to us all on bad days and good days.

My 2 year old daughter makes it known to me that she likes to come here compared to her weekday daycare all the time. I discovered Kids Klub offered a weeknight and weekend care. My wife and I booked a tour, and our daughter fell in love with the specific play area that mimics a supermarket. She refers to Kids Klub as "Kangaroo Daycare" because of their logo.

I remember my first Saturday here (after the initial tour) to see a bounce house set up (indoors) at 10:00 am on a Saturday, and my toddler just went bananas. I guess Kids Klub is now an integral part to my toddler's weekly routine. I am speechless.

TLDR: Kids Klub is a wonderful school with lots of resources to best set up your little one to truly thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. You will be grateful for sending your kids here, but most importantly, your kids will benefit the most in learning and developing and forging friendships at Kids Klub.

Kids Klub's campus is large enough to thoroughly incorporate a very dynamic and rotating curriculum for each class that is "play-based" but also geared toward helping kids grow and learn the skills they'll need. For example, while making activities play-based, the teachers are developing each child's skills such as fine motor skills, gross motor skills, listening comprehension, verbal and non-verbal communication, conflict resolution, social skills etc.

The most significant thing I can say about the quality of the education Kids Klub provides can be summed up in a single word: improvement. We have seen our children improve by leaps and bounds in measurable skills across a broad range of criteria. For example, our son was at or below expectations in a number of skills and after spending a few months with his teachers, our son was able to improve pretty much across the board to have fully mastered many of the skills he was behind in. This was not simply "grade inflation" or pandering to parents - we saw first-hand how our son improved in his writing, his communication, and his ability to sit still for a class and pay attention (among many other developments). It is easy to teach a gifted or accelerated child and have that child stay on that track. The true difficulty and magic happens when growth and development are fostered for all children, and that's what Kids Klub did and continues to do for our kids.

Kid Klub has enabled our two children (now 2.5 years old and 4.5 years old) to flourish. We toured many of the local schools while my wife was still pregnant, and Kids Klub was by far our top choice, which tracks as its waitlist is pretty long!

Kids Klub structures the day so each class spends time in a different themed "center" at the school for about 30 minutes, which works perfectly for our kids who need a good variety to keep them engaged and stimulated. This also is extremely helpful for the kids, who aren't stuck in the same classroom or setting the entire day.

Our kids especially love Ms. Myka and Ms. Adriana (two-year-old classroom leads), Ms. Eva (three-year-old classroom lead), and Ms. Patty (four-year-old transitional lead). We also know many of the other staff members, who are so friendly and engaging, even if our kids haven't been assigned to their classes. It truly feels like even beyond our children's teachers, the staff take the time to learn our children's names, have a genuine interest in their well-being, and look out for them as carefully as we would. For example, Ms. Ariel and Ms. Ashley happily greet our children every day at the front desk and parking entrances, ask our kids about their weekend/day, and make our entire family feel so welcome. They will even remember things about us, like asking how something turned out for work or an event.

My wife and I also really appreciate the directors and coordinators at Kids Klub, especially Directors Christopher and Krystal and Ms. Tannya. They have provided invaluable guidance and insight both for the day-to-day experience at Kids Klub as well as advice as we plan ahead for our kids for when they reach the age where they will need to matriculate/apply to elementary school.

If you haven't, do yourself a favor and at least tour Kids Klub so you can see first-hand how wonderful it is!
