An example of the art the children are ALWAYS doing - these ladies care about the kids. And the kids in turn adore the teachers.

My son and I both love kids experience! My son is 2 years old & when I first started taking my son, he of course needed to adjust to the place and I was such a worry wart. I always called & the owner Vickie always reassured me and also helped ME get adjusted to leaving my son there. She and Felicia made it easy to call and check up & get updates on him. The teachers there are amazing!! Teacher Karen always sends pictures when she can and is very easy to talk to when it comes to my son and how he's doing. Even though teacher Jill isn't my sons teacher, we always see her and my son loves her as well!! They always have a big smile on their face and my son seems to love them very much! Since he started there, there has been a dramatic improvement on his speech. He probably only had a vocabulary of 10 words. He now knows his alphabets, his numbers, his colors, animals, and their sounds! He always sings the songs they teach him there at school. & I love when he comes home with all the fun activities he does at school. They have water play at times, dress up days & other fun things for the kids. I recommend this place to everyone I know!

After reading that review I had to share my son's experience because I got angry. My son has been there one month shy of a year, is now four and absolutely loves going to school there. It's a perfect place for us. The director is a warm grandmotherly who I am so grateful to because I can place my son in her arms at six am and know he is safe and loved while I am away. It's a caring environment, not cold and stark as some daycares/preschools tend to be. The teachers there who understand children's behavior. I have zero complaints. None! They provide in the fee breakfast, lunch and snacks which saves me hassle when I get everything ready for our day. One less thing to pack and remember in the car. I get to ask my baby what he had for lunch and he will say something like, "pizza" or "Spaghetti" and it always sounds better then my cold sandwich and ice tea. Now, for Felicia I've had to deal with her and have ZERO to report bad. She amazing, and keeps me informed when I walk in what's happening with my son. Makes sure I collect al the art projects they are forever doing from the file box. The interior is child friendly, loud primary colors that are fun and everything you'd expect in preschool. My question is if that other mother who wrote the bad review was really that upset and put her child first - WHY WAS HER KID THERE SO LONG? I call BS this place is AWESOME!! Xx GB

Kids experience child care center is amazing. Owner Vickie Shannon is the kindest, most caring and compassionate person you'll ever meet. Director Felicia is awesome and maintains an amazing level of organization, fun learning activities and cleanliness, making learning fun and safe for the many children entrusted to their care. These ladies and their amazing teachers have been a huge part of my children's upbringing. From consistency with potty training at 18 months to helping with homework at age 12, and even transporting my children to and from school while I'm at work, these ladies have been amazing. Kids experience does it all. They help with potty training and teaching kids the fundamentals preparing them for kindergarten and even teaching them Spanish. As kids get older, they offer afterschool help with homework and fun indoor and outdoor activities for the children in their care. The staff, director, and owner at kids experience show so much dedication and care for their students that they seriously become like family. I absolutely love this place!

I've called 3 times now and have got nowhere with them! I was looking for a preschool for my daughter part time and called this place to see if they had an opening for her around the time I needed care. All 3 times i was told I will have an answer in a week and will call you back. Never called. Called back two more times and got the same answer. I finally gave up and found somewhere else that wanted our business.

When my older daughter turned three my husband and I researched preschools in North Stockton and Lodi. We jointly decided on having her attend Kids Experience. We loved the cleanliness, play areas, lesson plans and staff. We met Felicia initially and came to know Vickie and all the other teachers in time. Vickie is the owner and really cares about all the children in her care. She knows each individually, their needs, how they interact with other kids and teachers and her pupils receive the utmost of care. My daughter was brought into the three year old class and began her preschool education. I was impressed with the fun routine of color, reading, writing and all the lessons which were taught. When I became a divorced mother I wasn't sure what to do with my younger daughter. I discovered that Kids Experience provides day care for children as young as two. I enrolled my younger daughter into the two year old class where the children learn routine, numbers and letters, colors, shapes and animals. Also the teachers greatly assisted in potty training my younger daughter. This is a huge bonus!Over the years Kids Experience has become a huge part of our daily lives. My older daughter graduated preschool and after a year of transitional kindergarten now attends kindergarten. She reads better than most first graders and some second graders and I give a ton of credit to the Kids Experience program! My younger daughter is in the four year old classroom and will graduate preschool this spring. My babies have friends and loved teachers at Kids Experience, look forward to going to school each morning and are proud of all the work they have brought home to me over the years! Kids Experience has provided the strongest of foundations for my girls in school, building relationships and taking pride in themselves. Kids Experience uses a building that resembles a home on the outside. But really it's a loving, caring and thriving home environment on the inside. I love the fact that the children are able to participate in field trips to the local rehabilitation home and sing to adults on special occasions and in the summer venture to the local park for play time. The facility is always clean and never smells. The children are given nutritious meals and snacks. Vickie and Felicia also assist with daily transportation to and from the nearby schools for school age children. I have never written a yelp review before and I'm not the best writer. From the bottom of my heart, I believe Kids Experience and the staff were a godsend to me providing the education, growth and family my children needed and deserved.

This preschool is the best. Both my kids went here for two years and were more than ready to start kindergarten when it was time. The curriculum is excellent. The kids loved all the teachers and enjoyed going every day. Ms Felicia and Ms Vicki are open and honest with the parents. This place is like home and my kids come back during their vacations to spend time with their teachers and old friends. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a safe, caring, loving place, where children are taught skills to prepare them for kindergarten including manners, social skills and communication, and who have a general passion for teaching children.

Absolutely love the ladies who work here. My daughter absolutely loves them and only calls them "Teacher" followed by their first names. They helped me out so much with my daughter and after struggling to find an affordable daycare and researching all daycares in Stockton I thankfully found them. I don't get any assistance and their prices are waaaay more affordable then others. I would drop my daughter off around 6:15 - 6:30am, they would give her breakfast, take her to school, pick her back up, give her a snack, do homework before she could play and then I would pick her back up before 6pm. Mrs. Vicki (the owner) and Ms. Felicia are such a sweethearts, but they definitely put their foot down when the kids are doing things they are not supposed to and they'll make the parent(s) aware as well so that's great. Very clean environment as well, you'll always see them cleaning and wiping everything down with Clorox wipes so that's much appreciated. We really loved them here! Highly recommended.

This the first time I've written a positive review on Yelp to be honest I usually write a review when I'm not happy or angry but as I was playing around on the Web today i saw this page and I decided it was time to send my first positive review. This is the school that both of my children attended my children are both now 14 + 10. I have been in and out of this daycare doors as often as I am home. The whole staff including Vickie and Felicia has always encouraged me to drop by at any time, ask any questions and above all else has treated my children with love and respect. Ive walked in on the taking care of kids in difficult situations just to look up, smile at me and answer any questions I might have While tending to the situation at hand. My son was quiet. Shy and observant my daughter has ADHD and never once did Felecia ever cross over the line. Vickie cares about every student, Always making sure all their needs are meet and working with the parents on solutions. My kids are far from angels. I know that but they always felt safe here, even to this day they talk about how much they loved their school and loved teacher Vickie and teacher Felicia. If I had to send them to a daycare this is the only one I would use. I highly recommend them.

My 4 year old son has been going here for a few months and we absolutely love it. He has come home happy and clean every day and is always excited to go back. Every time I go in it is always super tidy and smells clean.The staff has always been so friendly, I don't have a single complaint. They are flexible and competitively priced, I highly recommend them as a daycare/preschool.

Best daycare/ preschool in Stockton period.
