Child Creativity Lab takes donated every day items (Lego pieces, empty prescription containers, bottle caps, buttons, wine corks, new popsicle sticks as well as excess items from various companies (excess fabric, plastic bottles, paint, pins, tacks, glue, zippers, etc.) and they put them together in a package so that kids can assemble them them and create a figure like a robot or animal out of all the parts. Before COVID they used to have in house workshops, but now they take the party out to the kids in city community centers, schools, etc. My friend planned a service event here so I came over to help out for a couple of hours. All the parts for the project were laid out at various stations and we went down like an assembly line and filled bags with the items to create a project-in-a-bag for each child. If I was a kid in elementary school receiving a project bag like this to put together with other classmates, I would be totally stoked. If you are interested in donating common household items for them to use, give them a call to see what they do and don't take. You can also arrange to do a service event here with your organization, they have people come in every week to help out. We need more places like this in all communities!

Everyone knows that money can be tight from time to time and the staff is accommodating and will work with you. Your child comes first. They do not make you feel guilty should you find yourself in this position. They have financial assistance if needed. I have not had to utilize this, but it is comforting to know that it is available when, and if I ever need it. My son LOVES being there. They have many fun things to do, especially during the summer. They are on top of it when it comes to bullying and make sure that kids have an enjoyable time while there. For those on a tighter budget, it is very affordable.

My older boys have attended the school-age program, and my 3-year-old daughter is enrolled in the preschool program. One of the things we love most is the enrichment program and all of the hands-on sensory activities they provide. The children are always engaged in fun, creative, and educational experiences that help them learn and grow. It's clear that a lot of thought goes into planning activities that are both meaningful and age-appropriate. As a parent, I often wonder what my child is doing throughout the day, and I truly appreciate that they take photos and share those moments with us. It gives me peace of mind and allows me to feel connected to their daily experiences. We especially look forward to the preschool performances. The kids sing songs and use instruments during their performances, and it's always such a joy to watch them showcase what they've learned. The teachers are absolutely amazing! They are caring, patient, and truly invested in each child's development. It's comforting to know our children are in such a loving and supportive environment every day. The school-age program has also been wonderful for my boys. They especially love the summer program, where they have a morning curriculum of learning along with fun days that include field trips. They enjoy being there, have built great friendships, and always come home excited to share what they did. My daughter has also flourished in the preschool program and looks forward to going every day. As a parent, there is no greater peace of mind than knowing your children are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. We are so grateful to everyone at COL for the positive impact they've had on our family. I highly recommend COL in Buena Park to any family looking for a nurturing, engaging, and trustworthy daycare and preschool. Their dedication to the children and their families truly makes them stand out, and we are thankful to be part of the COL family.

It's $12/year for the plot "rental" fee and you get free water, manure, and advice from other gardeners. This is an awesome way for us to not only stretch our budget (by growing our own food), teach our kiddos that food doesn't have to come from the grocery store, and meet new people in our own community. ...all for $1 a month and a couple of hours a week..... That's a deal that I can't beat!! BTW - You can only garden here if you are a Lakewood resident and the wait list is between 6 months and 1 year long, but so worth it!

They do fun activities, feed healthy food, provide snacks, provide daily picture updates, plan and celebrate holidays, and are overall so accommodating depending on your child's temperament and needs. My son learned a lot here - learning to eat, feed himself, and taking naps away from home on a cot. It helped so much with the transition into a preschool. I would drop him off in the morning and never worry about how he's doing throughout the day. I wish I could've kept my son continue going here. I'm expecting my 3rd baby and will most definitely be sending her here when i need some help again.
