Fulfilling The Needs Of Today's Modern Parents And Families

More than ever, families and careers don’t fit into the 9 to 5 mold and the need for tailored childcare options is growing. That’s why we are open 6-7 days a week and have extended hours until 10:00 p.m on weeknights and 12:00 midnight on Friday and Saturday nights. Parents appreciate the security, supervision, and flexibility we provide. Kids request us!

How Our Story Began In 2004

Dana Oliver, a single mom raising a two-year-old daughter, found herself with the typical dilemma many executives face today – how to meet the after 5:00 p.m. demands of her career, particularly when daycares close at 6:00 p.m. She knew there had to be other parents with the same problem.

In 2003, she left her job with a dream to create a more balanced lifestyle for herself and her daughter.

The following year, Dana opened Adventure Kids Playcare. Requests from other moms, wanting to create a work/life balance, led to Adventure Kids Playcare franchising in 2006.

Today, Adventure Kids Playcare has 16 locations in Texas and Washington, serving Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and Seattle, with additional locations coming soon in Florida and New Jersey.
