The Founding of Kids Adventures

Kids Adventures was founded by Brian Rindos, a longtime educator and program director who dedicated more than 30 years to serving children and families in Montgomery County. Brian believed that childcare should be more than supervision—it should be a place where children are engaged, active, supported, and encouraged to explore the world around them. From that vision, Kids Adventures was created.

A graduate of the University of Maryland, Brian directed both school-year and summer programs across the county. He was well-known for his hands-on leadership and deep commitment to quality care. He strongly believed that involving children, families, and staff in the planning process created richer, more meaningful experiences. Throughout his career, Brian also served on the Montgomery County Interagency Coordinating Board Committee for Excellence in Child Care and supported several pediatric and adolescent health initiatives.

Brian’s influence shaped Kids Adventures into the community-centered, relationship-driven program it is today. Although he has since passed, his vision and values remain at the heart of everything we do. Kids Adventures continues to honor his legacy by providing programs that are thoughtful, engaging, and rooted in the belief that children thrive when they are deeply known, supported, and inspired.
