I saw the blue blocks at some shopping malls and parks (not only in US but other countries) and my son loves it so I knew it would be perfect for my party since I had a limited space as well. I looked online and found very few people in US who works with the blue blocks and luckily one of the people was Becky in Orange County. How lucky! She was very professional and attentive to all my messages concerning my event. All kids enjoyed the blue blocks and they had to use their imagination to build whatever they want and it kept them really busy all afternoon!! Perfect!! We just put the blocks in my garage and voila! It became a simple, safe, educative and fun playground. I highly recommend OC Imagination.

As a new mom, the idea of leaving your baby in someone else's care can be terrifying, but the infant room staff made that transition so much easier. They took such thoughtful care of him, from warming up breast milk and feeding him to soothing naps and engaging playtime. Now that he is in the toddler room, he absolutely loves it. The fact that meals are provided is a huge help for me as a working mom. It is one less thing to worry about each day. He has made so many friends, learned so much, and truly adores his teachers. Potty training was another big milestone, and the support we received from the staff made a world of difference, even when we had lots of accidents along the way. Thank you, Kiddie Academy, for giving us such a wonderful experience. We are so grateful.

So we decided maybe get him familiar with the coding aspect and possibly move him into robotics in the future. We checked the Fountain Valley location but last minute decided to look into this location (Newport Beach/Costa Mesa). Both location seems very friendly and accommodating and of-course offer similar classes/schedules but this location worked better for us because it is closer to home and William T. was very prompt in returning my calls and answering any of my questions. The Fountain Valley location was a bit lagging in this aspect although they were just as friendly when giving us a tour. I highly encourage checking Codeninjas location in person to get a feel of the environment. Though I'm glad to stumble on this location last minute via Yelp and here I am reviewing it lol. I love love that there are extra clubs/camps offered as well to explore my son's interest. Again, one of the main factors in deciding on this location is William T. (Owner) thorough explanation and prompt response. Scheduling or dealing with missed classes has never been an issue. Highly recommend bringing little kiddos here. Location has variety of shops for parent to idle.

Jeniece hosted a paint and sip event I did for my corporate team at Art + Soul…read more The process was incredibly smooth and easy -- we set up the event over email, she sent over a link for checkout, and we were good to go. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling and working with me on the event planning. The location was easy to get to in Newport and the studio itself had the perfect amount of space for my group of 7 people. Be aware that you will have to pay for parking, but it's relatively inexpensive and done via app. During the event itself, Jeniece was patient and made jokes which we were very grateful for given that many of us hadn't painted or attempted visual art since high school. She provided the final product options and we voted on which we'd all complete. She was very attentive in the lesson -- she both demonstrated and walked around the class to see how we were progressing. She was incredibly positive with her feedback. I would recommend Jeniece and Art + Soul to anyone doing a work team event. Her flexibility and positivity were exactly what we needed!

Would highly recommend this place. As a mother, its reassuring to know that my girls are in safe hands! My girls give them 2 thumbs up.
