About Kids In Action

Kids In Action Kingwood Active Learning

Kids In Action has served the Kingwood community since 1988, operating as a mother-daughter team dedicated to a play-based curriculum. The program stands out with two 2,500-square-foot indoor gyms and a massive one-acre outdoor learning environment where children explore nature-based concepts. The daily schedule integrates Frog Street academic foundations with specialized enrichment, including Kindermusik and on-site gymnastics instruction. Safety is a high priority, managed through magnetic access-controlled doors, unique parent check-in codes, and internal CCTV cameras. For infants, the center provides a separate sensory playground and a private nursing area for mothers. Older children benefit from tech-integrated learning via ABC Mouse and a substantial on-site library. Parents receive real-time updates, photos, and video clips through the Procare mobile app.

I was so nervous to start my 1st child in daycare but seeing all the things she learns from Kids in Action, I now feel so much better! KIA knows how to keep the children entertained while also teaching them academics and manners! We love it here so much that we even enrolled our 2nd baby! Thank you so much KIA!

We hosted my daughter Palmer’s 4th birthday party at Kids in Action, and I truly cannot say enough amazing things about our experience. Mrs. Brittany, our host, along with her three incredible crew members, went above and beyond from start to finish. From unloading my car, helping set up all of my food and décor, to cleaning everything up and reloading my car at the end, it was absolute top-tier service and such a gift for a parent hosting a party. They listened carefully to my daughter’s theme and tailored the games to match it perfectly. Every activity was so fun, thoughtful, and age-appropriate. The kids had an absolute blast the entire time. The staff was kind, energetic, patient, and genuinely cared about making the day special. If you’re looking for a stress-free, well-organized, and truly magical birthday party experience, I cannot recommend Kids in Action enough. We felt so supported, and it made my daughter’s day unforgettable.

Our family absolutely loves Kids in Action! We originally chose them for the convenience, but we’ve stayed because of the incredible staff and the loving, family-like environment they provide. From day one, it’s been clear how much care and attention they give to each child, and that peace of mind means everything to us as parents. Our daughter is excited to go to school every day and is always happy and engaged while she’s there. We love seeing her participate in hands-on activities like color sorting and learning numbers, and it’s obvious she’s in a place where she feels safe, loved, and encouraged to grow. We are so grateful to be part of the Kids in Action family and would highly recommend them to any parent looking for a daycare that truly cares about their children. 💛

We are absolutely obsessed! We started at another daycare when we moved to kingwood earlier this year and it was a rough experience. We have been told over and over by family and friends that Kids in Action was the place to be! So we toured and it felt like home. The kiddos were learning through play! Which is exactly what we were looking for. No weird daycare mascots etc Our 5yr old attended summer camp and our youngest attends the Waddlers room. So far it has been an amazing experience. Our kiddos teachers know them well and genuinely care for our littles. We also enjoy packing their lunch for school everyday! It gives a personal touch to our littles day! We are so happy and will continue to spread the word that KIA is the place to be 😊

My wife and me love Kids in Action! We were blessed to get our daughter enrolled at a very young age. We were very anxious of her going to daycare at that age, but they make it a place and environment in which our daughter gets excited about going to every weekday. They do a good job of communication, with constant communication everyday as well as weekly updates. We highly recommend them to any new families.
