Dianne Adair Day Care at Tice Creek - Walnut Creek, California

Linh “Elvie” Chen

Judy runs a tight ship. She genuinely cares for the children and her staff. We feel safe leaving our kids with her and her staff before school, after school and during holidays/non school days. She gives them structure, time to read, arts and crafts, free play and outside exercise. We are very lucky to have her &her staff's abilities here as our afterschool care.

We have been so impressed by and grateful for our experience with Dianne Adair Tice Creek, especially the staff led by Judy.

We first enrolled in the summer program a few months before our son started kindergarten this year, and witnessed all the planning and consideration put into each day’s activities. It was also the first time sending our kid on small “field trips”, and the organization and attention to detail of the staff always helped us feel confident he was safe while also having fun.

We then enrolled in the before and after school program at the start of the school year, and Dianne Adair has really helped with his transition to kindergarten at Tice Creek. One small, but important, example - staff members will walk with the kindergarteners to and from their classrooms each day to make sure they get there okay.

We feel very fortunate that our son has felt comfortable and “at home” so quickly at Dianne Adair - this is truly a reflection of how supportive and welcoming the Dianne Adair team is and the community they’ve built at Tice Creek. We can’t thank them enough for all they do every day!

Executive Director, Judy, is always warm and friendly. The staff are engaged and attentive. They knew my daughter's name on the first day! They have all digital records and you can sign your child in/out using an app on your phone. It's so quick and easy. I'm also grateful that they are open on some of the days that the WCSD schools are closed (around holidays and during summer break). As a working parent, this has been such a relief.

Highly recommend Dianne Adair Tice Creek!! Our daughter loves going to school so much. She comes home every day talking about her friends, what she learned that day and always has incredible art projects to share. She loves singing all the songs they have learned together. All the teachers are wonderful, lead by Judy. Judy has so much heart, and such a caring mindset. At Dianne Adair Tice Creek, they are all committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment. It’s wonderful seeing our daughter get excited about going to school everyday!!

We moved our son to the Dianne Adair Tice Creek TK Program last year and he has just blossomed. He is excited to go to school every morning and the support he is provided is something he would have never received at his previous program. Ms. Judy and her staff have gone above and beyond to ensure our son is understood and loved.

In addition, they do so many fun field trips and activities and have an amazing summer program.

I am thankful every day that we made the move.

Our kids went to DA at Tice for several years. They were our rock during COVID as the world stayed locked down, they came up with safe and creative solutions to help our kids get back to school (in pods and on zoom) but with a few peers and that made all he difference in the world. Judy runs a tight ship and was like my third hand for all things kids and school related. The staff over the years have been very special young adults to our children. My daughter moved to their preschool program after the covid shutdowns and she thrived. She loves to learn! She also loved as she grew up in the program to move to the "big kid" room for 1st grade and up. My son loved the outings and all the outdoor sports time. Not so much the required reading time (but I loved that)!

I have a daughter in the pre-k program a son in Kinder before and after care and I can't recommend Dianne Adair enough. The staff, led by Ms. Judy is excellent, they take time to get to know my kids and provide a warm environment.

On the pre-K side my daughter is learning a ton, loves her teachers and is always happy to go to school.

My son loves it as well, especially the activities they plan during breaks and school holidays. They get field trips, center activities and movie Fridays with fun snacks.

As a family with two working parents, it's such a relief to have the coverage for early school days and holidays. The most important thing is I know my kids are safe, and second most important thing if that they are happy. They are both at Dianne Adair.
