Kiddo Land Learning Center

Oct 2019

My kid is on the spectrum and we were referred to Kiddoland Learning Center for therapy by a co-worker in my workplace. This is such an amazing place for my kid that I really want others to know. (1) This is an inclusive preschool, which provides abundant opportunities for my kid to observe other kids during play and circle time. The curriculum is set to balance 1:1 therapy time with group circle and play time, and although slowly, my kid learned to interact with other children, and learned to cope with social anxiety. (2) Their teachers really care about the long-term well-being of the kids. Unlike many other therapists who mostly focus on skill expansion (which is a short-term achievable goal), therapists in Kiddoland focus more on fundamental capabilities of the kids, like attending, gross-motor coordination, etc. It may be difficult to see an immediate improvement in the short term, but gradually these activities help my kid to improve his ability across multiple aspects. I'm especially grateful that they have a swimming program every summer for these kids. Now my kid is fond of swimming and is able to swim 25 yards all by himself!! (3) They have lots of activities outside the preschool, which is very rare for an institution to deal with kids on the spectrum. My kid used to be very stressful in a crowded place, but activities like walking in the neighborhood, eating in a restaurant (yes, they do take kids to restaurants from time to time), or even a trip to San Diego and Monterey Bay (summer trip every year!), help him to cope stress and anxiety effectively. (4) Their teachers really care about the kids, and care about the communication with us (parents). They are really busy during the day, but they (even the director Ms Moon) are still willing to chat with us through text messages even till 11pm, to help us understand their program and what needs to be done at home. Really amazing teachers! Overall, I highly recommend Kiddo Land learning centers to all kids with or without special needs!

The family atmosphere that is fostered by the people who run the school is unmatched. It's clear how much they truly care for each of the children there. The owner are very nice!
