Coolest place ever! We did a tour several years ago and my kiddo still talks about it! I'm hoping to get him into summer camp. This place is magical. read more

I travel frequently for work. A few weeks ago my wife told me that she and our son visited this amazing place that she'd like me to visit when I got back in town. We've homeschooled our son since he was 2 so we were very particular about where he goes whenever my wife has to work from the office. Well I visited the place and I absolutely loved it. My son officially now has community of little starseeds. Our host Emani also comes from a homeschool background so she could really relate to our questions and concerns. She's absolutely amazing and so is the entire staff from the administration to the classroom. They do an outstanding job with the kids and we couldn't be happier; especially our son which is the most important part. Thank you again! read more

The experience sending my 6 yr old, about to be 2nd grader, to summer camp here is GREAT. We attended an Open House in April and fell in love with Ms. Erryka (I know I misspelled, sorry my lady) who has been there many years. She was such a bright, warm, engaging, thoughtful person and she gave us the tour. All the staff members I have met and talked to are above and beyond helpful. My little girl is very shy in the mornings and doesn't like being dropped off probably due to some anxiety / fight or flight response she is still developing, and they were very accommodating and went out of their way repeatedly to help her feel welcomed. Walter is amazing and has gone above and beyond for my girl as well. I also adore the lady that sits by check-in. Like I said, everyone has been so great. I give this place 5 stars and can't wait to bring my girl back, and especially can't wait to see her not so shy here. My daughter is always happy and has had a great day when I pick her up. She has no complaints other than being shy and nervous. A few of the kids that attend have also been so welcoming and friendly to her at drop off. I highly recommend this center! Thank you guys for taking care of my girl. read more

Children's Learning Adventure - Pick of the bowling alleys!! So fun. - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Plano, Texas

I am so grateful I found this place. I was thinking about how nice it would be find a place that checks all the boxes due to our array of preferences and our child being homeschooled. That next day an ad pops up on Instagram I clicked on, put my info in figuring I would atleast request information. I received a call the next day from Imani to schedule an in-person walk through, needless to say I was blown away. The level of safety, security, professionalism and just overall care exceeded all my expectations. My husband thought it was too good to be true until I brought him up there but once I did, there was no convincing needed. Imani was efficient in providing everything he needed to get our child onboarded. We just finished our first week and I'm highly pleased, our child loves this place. There is a great energy that flows through here, we feel so welcome and everyone genuinely seems to love being there and love what they do. read more

We enrolled our son & daughter with CLA last summer looking for a place that could offer pre-school for our son (4) and a summer camp setting for our daughter (7). CLA delivered on both fronts and we've been pleased with the experience so far. They provide a safe and clean environment of course, and a solid structure and early learning curriculum for our pre-school aged son. He's made significant strides in the 9 months he's been enrolled and we credit his teachers with a lot of his progress. Its clear just from looking at the place that it's a feature packed facility, but the range of activities and amenities they get to enjoy when they go is impressive. Both of our kids have been excited to go to school just about every day. The staff have also been wonderful. A special thanks to the Director Ms. Toiya, our kids' teachers Ms. Elena, Ms. Chacon & Ms Vicky and all of the front-office group for making it a fun and welcoming environment from the moment they get out of the car every day. read more

I have had such a fantastic experience with Children's Learning Adventure. I am a foster Mom and they always make room for my kiddos and take the most outstanding care of them. I have to give a massive shoutout to the team in the baby room - Alex, Kiersten, and Hannah! One of my babies came to me severely underweight and this team went above and beyond to help him get back on track. Under their care, all of my kids have been healthy, happy, and extremely well cared for. read more

My daughter attended CLA part time this summer and I noticed a breakdown in communication as well as some other items that need to be addressed: The first and most alarming was the classroom cameras. One camera facing the girl's bathroom. The toilets are adult size, my daughter needs to get off the toilet completely to pull up her pants and stands in direct sight of the camera to do so (I was told the doors stay open for safety reasons, despite being glass). This means that the facility has several recordings of my child's private parts. This is very concerning. Bathrooms: I don't understand why there are adult size toilets in the classrooms as opposed to the shorter toddler toilets, especially considering the staff use the hallway facilities. My daughter struggles to climb on the toilet and there's only one dirty bench by the sink and I really don't want my daughter moving that dirty bench to more easily access the toilet. Additionally, the soap dispensers are hard to push and she told me multiple times she can't get the soap out. If a teacher can't be in the bathroom with the kid, then there needs to be smaller toilets and/or benches and soap with dispensers that are more toddler friendly. Communication: I wanted a tour but wasn't getting a reply from either their website or HQ number so I just showed up and was impressed with the facility. I loved the animal/nature wall paper and décor and that my kid had access to special classes such as cooking, science, bowling, etc. I registered and left with all the paperwork but was told I could submit if in late May after her Dr appt. Mid May, I get a snarky call saying if I don't turn in the documents, they'll unenroll me so after a few emails/phone calls I get it straightened out and submit my paperwork only to have them loose it on the first day of school and have us wait 30 mins (with me trying to entertain a 4 and 2 yr old in their lobby that has nothing for kids) until they find it. I also find out that they've had a renovation and have completely removed all the wallpapers and replaced them with boring tan paint; so, so sad about this. Finally my paperwork is found and I drop off my oldest. No explanation on the check in/out procedure so I had no idea what to do..... so frustrating. Specialty Rooms: During the tour I was told that my 4yr old would go to bowling, imagination island and to nature's nook (outdoor gardening, she loves this) DURING THE SUMMER (as its partially shaded). After about a month, she wasn't going to these and I was told that it was too hot for gardening (fair but I did specifically ask because I knew it'd be hot), for safety reasons, 4 yrs olds don't bowl (again not what I was told originally) and that imagination island had some leaks (fair, but I was told it had been fixed and my kid was still not going). I changed her schedule to do other specialty rooms. Per the schedule, she's supposed to do 2 specialty rooms per day but she only went to one. I asked about this and I was told they rotated the rooms attended every 2 weeks (doesn't explain the 4 week gap), then I was told the teacher was doing it wrong and they should be attending 2 per day and they'd "provide the teacher with further instruction"..... a month after the teacher got 'further instruction' she still only went to 1 specialty room per day; at this point summer was almost over so I just stopped bringing it up. Overall, there seems to be a lack of communication, both during registration and schedule adherence. Additionally, I feel CLA is way overpriced for what it offers. I paid $249/wk at CLA vs $380/mo for the same exact part time schedule (3 days a week, 1/2 day) at her year around school; extrapolating that per year it's $12,948/yr at CLA vs $4,560/yr at her current school or $8,388 more. The curriculum is very similar and other than the specialty rooms, the facilities are very similar; and 3hrs/wk in a specialty room doesn't justify paying almost 3X the price! read more

Seems fun and engaging, right? Doesn't really work that way if all of the staff is completely untrained even up to the corporate level. The director told me that they are focused on camps and after school programs so the rest is just additional income. read more

What can I say about CLA except I am so glad we saw the building across the street when we moved in! My kids are always happy and never want to go home. As a matter of fact, whenever I come to pick them up I have to make sure it is after a certain time or they say I am "early"! Casey, Kim, Dan, Ashley and Amanda are all so friendly and helpful whenever I have a question. They treat my children as if they were there own which makes me feel great leaving them in their care. I do not worry for one second when my kids are spending their afternoons at CLA. If you are looking for a place that not only cares about your children but teaches them as well, then CLA is definitely the place for you! read more

Great place to work at. I love getting up in the morning and making it to work to see my children beautiful smiling faces. I love it when my class say I love you Ms. Areka or you're pretty Ms. Areka. (Jaxson S.) I love working with my co-teacher Ms. Kelene. I can truly say we are a team. Our purpose here is to take care, love and educate our student's. read more

Children's Learning Adventure - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Plano, Texas

They should warn people ahead of time that they are understaffed and if your kid is high energy they will kick him out without notice. I took my son out of school to come here and 2 weeks later and without a parent teacher meeting they gave him the axe. Tasha who sits in the front isn't apparently qualified to care for children but instead has notified me that they are unable to keep my 3 yr old in the building. For this reason she gave me 2 days notice to find somewhere else to take my kid. She does not have the patience or understanding to be a teacher, I guess that's why she works in the front. Don't be fooled by the quality of the school, if your kid is a problem for them Tasha will kick him to the curb with a smile on her face read more

This daycare only cares about the finances and show lack of compassion for their customers. My kids attended the Keller location for a couple of months without any problems until I notified them that I was laid off of my job. I notified them the week that I was laid off of my job during a pandemic and that my kids will not be attending due to no income. I also advised once I get situated that I would switch them to part time. That following week a tuition payment was taken out for the week which I thought wasn't a big deal because I was able to dispute with my bank and the facility agreed to put my account on hold. The daycare rejected the refund due to not giving them a two week notice that I was going to lose my job. After calling for two weeks without any answers as to why they reversed the refund, they advised I did not give two notice and my kids were there one day. This is bs and if the policy is a two notice is should be based on certain circumstances not someone telling you they can't afford to keep their kids in the daycare. Customer service should come first and this showed poor customer service and lack of sympathy to paying customers. read more

I don't have enough good things to say about the West Plano location. My son has been at CLA - West Plano for a year and made the move from Preschool to Pre-Kindergarten. If you call and they ask you to come in, it is for good reason. You have to see the facility and meet the staff to understand the pricing. In addition, trying to select a school/child care facility based on price alone may have you lose out on a great opportunity! The curriculum is amazing and the children are encouraged to learn and grow at their own pace. There is plenty of support in each of the classrooms for the class size to be a balanced place to learn on a 1x1 basis. Each day my son comes home talking about what he learned in Spanish, Culinary or Art class, and I am so grateful I chose this location each time. They partner very close with Plano schools and I am confident my son will enter Kindergarten prepared. Education is balanced on curriculum, activity and personal character traits that will be very useful in a public school environment. Keep up the great work West Plano! I recommend everyone to CLA! They are invested in my child as much as I am and that is SUPER rare to find in a child care facility this size. read more

This is the best daycare in Plano and Frisco area. Our kids love the teachers and look forward to going.

I have never been treated so unprofessionally and carelessly at any job by both director and corporate. Not to mention many things going on including the AC being broken for the entire summer with many complaints and still no care towards the teachers or children that had to be in hot classrooms all day with no other options after having brought this issue up many times.I do not recommend anyone to work here or enroll their children here as all they want is money and lack compassion to treat people with kindness respect. read more

Samantha and Kim are always super helpful in the front office and will take care of any concerns you might have. I love how well they work together and it's so great having that kind of teamwork being modeled for my daughter everyday. I thought I was being crazy including a 3 year old in such a big decision but it was important to me she enjoyed the place she was going to spend so much time in. The variety of play centers and toys were really interesting but the administration showed us a new level of organization and care that I wasn't expecting from such a big center. The new director Casey has been a blast to work with and hired some of the best teachers I've ever met. It's pretty great going from a place that my daughter dreaded (old daycare), to a place that she doesn't want to leave. Definitely check out Ms. Jordan and Ms. Brianna! If you don't fall in love with the indoor gym, outside playgrounds, or COOKING class, then you'll definitely sign up just for them. read more

Can not brag about this school enough! I love all of the staff, great teachers and kids. This is not a daycare it's a school!

We did not have a good experience here. It was one issue after another. Showed up on our first day and the teachers/classes we had been told out children were assigned to were not correct. They proceeded to take both of my kiddos to 3 different rooms each. So 6 rooms on day one!!! Can you imagine being the parent in this situation? And to have prepped your kids with their teachers names? I left them in tears and totally anxious for their first day. Secondly, they charged me for a month of fees when I completed the paperwork for weekly withdrawal. Finally my son started to have severe anxiety about going to school. Waking up at night, crying on the way to school, sobbing while walking into school. He was only 3 so couldn't articulate what the issue was. Just continued to say how he didn't want to go to 'the fancy' class. He had been in school before and loved it. It was horrible. After 3 inquiries about this 'fancy class' they finally discussed an action plan after I had to follow up. It was too late as I already enrolled them elsewhere. I'm very easy going. I would not recommend this location for your children. The building is great, but that's about it compared to other daycares. read more

My son has attended CLA Plano for 2 1/2 years and I have read all of the reviews. First off, you will not find a more clean and quality facility. As your child progresses, the teaching becomes more rigorous and you'll see your child take-off. Between the ages of 1-2.5 years, it's more about social interaction, learning abc's, playing well with others, and other basic skills. We have been very pleased with CLA and our son has loved his teachers. No school is perfect, so unless your child has attended, I am not sure just checking the place out and getting a tour is a realistic review. read more

We are totally in love with CLA! The teachers are all so nice, helpful, and caring. Our little guy absolutely loves going to "school" and adores his teachers. They connect to each and every one of the students. The facility is beyond amazing and very-well maintained. I'm very impressed with their learning curriculums for the specific age groups! I highly recommend, you won't regret it! read more

I have two kids that could use this facility that opened close to me so i toured it. I left with a negative impression and my kids, as of now,still aren't signed up to go here. Here are the pros and cons according to me. PROS: My goodness that building! they pulled all the stops here and nothing is sub par or cheap quality. they have what seems like the best of everything and newer technologies everywhere. Lots of themed rooms, library, kitchen, indoor gym( more of an indoor court that can be used a few ways) large toddler rooms and nursery compared to those available elsewhere. Outdoor spaces with rubber turf, pretty paint and decor all over. A place truly designed and decorated with the kids that will be spending time here in mind. I think thats where the pros end for me. Its a truly impressive space and my first thought was my girls would love it here! Until i noticed the following... CONS: Staff: Not sure what these girls get paid but clearly not enough to make them pleasant people. The one that did the tour with us did an okay job of showing us the rooms and answering questions but she was simply going through the motions. There was a bit of a rush to get to the next room, next class, next topic. Im not certain what she needed to get back to as the office was empty. Overall Vibe: I did get to see some classes in session and the vibe was the same, people going about their business. Parents may understand why this is a con. There wasn't a happy feel at all, it was so very quiet. No kids talking laughing, no babies cooing or crying, no teachers yelling or instructing or doing anything. It seemed like everyone had taken a sedative. Just so very weird for a building that seems so happy and bright. i was expecting more... i dunno, noise...life. This seemed more like a bunch of adults herding some very quiet babies. i dunno, maybe i came in right after nap time?? Poor first impression. Curriculum: I don't know if this school has a curriculum for the older kids and if they do it wasn't well explained. ( by older i mean 4-6 yr olds...so, not really older) I always look for a school of any kind to tell me what my kid will be learning and how. The tour guide for all her attempts at explaining, didn't know, and that was a huge red flag for me. They also did not have Kinder at the time i toured which pretty much eliminated it as full time care for my older daughter. She is already in Pre-K and i would prefer the option of not moving her until first grade. They did say they would add one soon but after touring the building i do not see where that class would go. As of the time i was touring is was a baby-pre-k school. Not really what i was looking for. Pricing/Honesty/ Business Practices: This place is so very shady about their pricing and i don't understand why. It is a huge turnoff. They are so guarded with how much they charge. Most schools even the super expensive prestigious ones PUBLISH TUITION INFORMATION. Its no big secret, its not that serious. Its a price, a cost of doing business. This place wont even TELL you the price until you complete the tour, as if seeing the building will make you want to pay more. Suprisingly their prices are actually comparable and in some instances less than other daycares in the area. But they, unlike other pre-schools are very shady about how they reveal those prices. I don't now if thats how things were done in Arizona where they are from but welcome to Texas people. Reputation is VERY important for business around here. A quick look around social media would let them know theirs is being trashed due to this policy alone. Wake up people. Pre school for my 4 year old full time would have been about $ 265 weekly. About the same as everyone else. A tad less than where she is now. Getting that info though, was like pulling teeth. Mainly due to the lack of a curriculum, a Kindergarten and the overall vibe, i have relegated this to a part-time summer camp care place for my pre-schooler. The building is fun and i can see summer camp kids liking it here. I do not see a whole lot of everyday learning going on at least not to the extent of other schools in the area. My toddler may never attend here due to the unmotivated vibe i got from the caregivers. This place has potential but it may take time...and that is something i do not have. read more

I had a great experience here with Kelsie, the Assistant Director. She was very helpful and so involved with all aspects of the center! She was such a friendly and inviting face! Can't wait to go back to West Plano CLA very soon! read more

My son 2 and half years old got sick few days after joining this school. It took more than 10 days for him to get better. Had to visit doctor couple of times due to Ear and nose infection. We stopped sending him to this pre school and later when I went to ask about the refund, they made us visit them multiple times but every time we visited, they used to say the director was not available or the accountant was not available. It's a very expensive place and we paid $1450 for the first month. It's a big Money for us and we expected at least a partial refund. I would never recommend this place to anyone. --DAD read more

#clasendsyoutodisneyland We love CLA in Plano,TX. Cash is so advanced for his age. He tells me every day of his adventures and what he learned that day. His teachers are awesome and the staff is amazing! Couldn't ask for a better place to take our son. read more

I am extremely impressed with Children's Learning Adventure! My child has developed so much, in such a short period of time! KUDOS to the teachers and leadership team!! read more

Just toured last week. The facility was amazing and the staff very accommodating to my multiple questions. They have a lot to offer, we enrolled our 3 year old son for the fall so I'll let everyone know how it goes! read more

Finally leaving feedback for this school. This was the very first school my son attended. He was only 2. He always had a nanny but I wanted him to socializes with other kids more. So I put him in the part time program. He attended for a little over half a year. When he first started I was a nervous wreck! I would constantly call up to the school to check on him. They were more than willing to check on him every time and provide updates. They even send me pictures of him doing different things at school daily for about the first week or so... During the day so I can feel more at ease having him there. He adjusted well because his teachers were very loving and passionate about what they do. We Loved this school. I was sad when I had to move away in July 2015. All his teachers cared very much about my son. The front desk staff always remember his name and they were also very caring. I thought the price was very reasonable for all they offered. I highly recommend them :-) read more

Toured in April to find more information about this program. The building is super nice, everything well kept and very clean. The cost is higher, but it was reasonable to me (it is not cheap - but HELLO they have a bowling alley and a cooking school). And they don't add on a bunch of fees later for activities. I am speaking about the summer camp in particular. I didn't tour the preschool at all - my kids are older (elementary school). The people that run the daycare are busy. They manage the schedule and the facility so I imagine although the office is empty, they still have things to do aplenty. I have an office job where people say "well, you are at your desk" - so I can identify. Just saying that in response to a person that mentioned that the office person seemed in a hurry on the tour. I didn't feel hurried at all, but I also had a realistic expectation of what the tour would be My perspective is that of a Mom that was looking for a good option that isn't daycare, but provides reliability and fun for my kids that are past the preschool age. This place seems like a great option. My kids are enrolled. If it works out like I'm hoping - will happily update with 5 stars. read more

I have been very impressed with my experience with CLA in West Plano since joining in late March. My son has a lot of food allergies and is a toddler. This in itself is challenging because toddlers are into everything and somehow, my son's teachers are so actively engaged and sincere about being sensitive to his dietary restrictions. I seriously do not worry about going to work every day because I know he is in great hands. Really can't say enough great things: the staff is so friendly, activities are awesome even at the toddler age I am amazed about how they teach. I can't wait for my two older kids to join CLA for the Summer activities! You will pay good money and get excellent care for your kids. Peace of mind is worth every penny! read more

My 4yo previously attended the West Plano location but gets anxiety when discussing options about going there for summer or when his current school is closed. His experience was horrible here w/ the exception of his 1st teacher who is no longer there. My 21mo still attends ONLY bc we adore her teacher. We will be looking to pull her out this summer. Corporate for CLA is awful and we've heard from numerous staff that have left just how awful. There have been 5 Directors (soon to be 6) in a matter of 2 years here. When I approached corporate (who was in overseeing for some reason) about my concerns she was VERY defensive and not once took ownership for any issues. She told me Primrose kept 'recruiting' the Directors... this was not true.. they were obviously seeking other employment to leave shortly after receiving the Director role. Then this lady said 'you don't have to worry, the current director is here for the long haul.' Well, ironically enough we received an email tonight stating she will be resigning basically due to corporate and how much it's affected her personally. Wow, these people must be really awful... we've heard from several employees it's all about the money not about the children. My son was put in a class with 22 3yo and the poor teacher couldn't control them. His teacher had resigned so they combined two classes. When I spoke to corporate about my frustration with this. Her response was 'that didn't happen.' So basically this lady called me a liar! I watched it happen every time I dropped off and picked up my kid. Well that teacher left as well.. This place needs a lot of work due to Corporate. The employee turn around is ridiculous!!! read more

I'm currently on the hunt for daycare for my son and decided to give this place a look, since I always pass by when headed to willowbend mall and well just the exterior looks amazing. I feel that all the people complaining about this place without even letting there children attend are just crazy, how can you rate a place that you have not experienced or more like your children experienced. Those reviews shouldn't even count! The person who gave us the tour allowed me to ask her several questions and answered them all just fine. The place has overall great quality products and is very clean. The pricing is extremely reasonable as oppose to multiple places in the Plano area that are limited with the schedules and have extra charges if you want to stay longer. I am going to try out their service for a day and see how I feel about them and I will update my review as I go. My son will be attending in June if all goes well and I will also update then. read more

We have been going to Children's Learning Adventure (CLA) for about 4 years now. The staff and management team are amazing. We had been to 3 different day cares before settling here. Honestly, it feels like family. You obviously get what you pay for - it is a bit more expensive, but we tried to go less expensive and it is CLEARLY different. I feel absolutely comfortable that my child is safe, taken care of, and unconditionally loved. I cannot speak highly enough of CLA. The teachers and management staff are just amazing. My 4 year old is already reading at a 1st grade level. My 7 year old, who needs a bit more attention, is getting it. CLA caters to the child and recognizes that each child is special and adjusts to their needs. read more

Went to the summer camp open house today. As soon as you get your foot through the door, you are given forms to fill out with your personal info, such as name, address, phone #s- both home and cell, names and ages of kids, email. All personal info except your SSN and checking account #. ( no joke). I said that I do not want to provide this info for the open house, but lady at the front told me that my child wouldn't be able to play a little in their classrooms, so I had to give in. I didn't like the lady that was showing us around at all. She just went from room to room stating:this is the art room, this is the gym, this is the cooking classroom. No useful info was given about the camp. At the end I asked for a package to take home with pricing. She gave me a folder which does not have any pricing and just wrote it on a piece of paper. I do not understand why keep pricing such a secret. On any other summer camp web pages you can see all the info and pricing. This place will not give it to you unless they have all your personal info. BTW it is $250 a week or $180 or so for 3 days. There is even the option for 2 days a week. The good thing is they open from 6 am to 6:30 pm with no extra charge. Other camps often close at 3 pm or so. And they provide lunch and 2 snacks every day. I looked at their trip schedule. They have a trip to Celebration park. Who needs a trip to the park if it is 100 degrees outside? They charge good money for the camp, so a trip to the park where I can go by myself for free is not a good option.The building is huge, but I do not feel comfortable with the place that first thing they care about is all your personal info. I wander what they are going to do with it. read more

This place will not give you prices over the phone. They insist that you have to come in to visit before they will tell you the prices. Go ahead call them for yourself and see. It is a hard sales pitch driven approach that will be forced down your throat in a quite rude manner I must say. Keep in mind this is a place you will be leaving your infant or small child and the very first contact you have with them includes them using smoke and mirrors to get you to come in. Maybe its just me but If having to use shady tactics to convince me to leave my child there is their approach then I sure am suspicious of what type of staff they have to watch my child. Just call and see for yourself. Its super shady. read more

Overpriced. Limited activities and "advanture" for kids under 5. I had to take my 2.5 year old to different school after just 3 months for many reasons. She would come home with dirty underwear. They wouldn't help her clean up after potty. She is just 2. I saw kids fighting many times. Nobody would stop them or direct them not to. Poor and lazy teaching. Don't look at bells and whistles. It's all a show. No care or genuine love and attention to kids. I will not recommend it. read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would!!! Spent about 2 minutes at their facility and would never recommend it to anyone! I submitted an inquiry online about child care. Got a call from what I am assuming is their corporate headquarters because the number was in Arizona. The person I spoke with scheduled an appointment for a tour but never asked any questions regarding the care I was looking for or gave me any feedback as to what I stated on my inquiry. Showed up to the facility and had a clipboard flung at me and was told "Fill it out" - No "Hi" or "Welcome". The staff at the front desk was completely unprofessional and rude!! Then, I had my infant daughter with me who I was there to look at care for. This rude redheaded woman leans over to look at her and asks when I am looking to start and I said in about 2 weeks. She replies with "Well, we have no openings till November". No sorry or anytime of sympathy. I was upset considering I had wasted my time and stated to them that they should have told me that over the phone before I wasted my time coming over there. She rudely stated that their corporate office books the tours and does not know their availability. Obviously this place does not care about personal service as the facility itself cannot find the time to make or receive requests for tours or questions. It also shows that their corporate office has no clue as to how to manage their facilities considering they don't even know availability for care which would be helpful for parents to know. Very disappointing experience to say the least. I would stay away from this place if you truly value your child's care!!! read more

My daughter just started the infant room. I must say I like the place. Everyone there is nice but I don't think the infant room is doing anything with kids. Their daily report doesn't indicate any activities. I have picked up my daughter with dried poop. Not being fed for hours. I heard a lady whose son just started complaining to her spouse on the phone that her son wasn't fed for 5 hours. The infant teachers to be more engaging to the older infants and more nurturing to the younger ones. We pay so much so we need more than babysitting value. read more

This school is really good at "looking good" when you come to visit. They are good at making it seem like your child will be surrounded by professionally trained teachers and they can sure talk the talk. The turnover is pretty bad right now (director left about a month ago) and I really dread dropping my child off everyday. My child has been there about 1 year and we are looking for another school right now. When I pick him up everyday he looks like a train wreck. He has dried crusties on his face or dry skin, old food left on clothes or face. For the price you have to pay at this school, it is no where near what it should be! I hate to pull him from it because he is comfortable with his friends and teacher, but I just can't take it anymore. They work these poor teachers to death! They really need more teachers in the 1 and 2 year old rooms, those poor teachers can't keep a good eye on the kids when they are taking them to the bathroom and having to do all their other duties. So frustrating how much money I have spent on this place! I wish we would have never left our old place. We only left because we thought my son would learn so much more here and be challenged, but is really is no different from other schools, just a lot more money. They talk of all these special classes, but the kids don't start that until the 3's. They have these great playgrounds outside, but they can't even take the kids on them because they are too little for the playground until you turn 3. When I walk out on playground sometimes, the teachers just look exhausted and the kids are just walking around looking bored (the non-playground equipment side). I have only once walked out there and another teacher (not my child's) was down on the ground really playing with the kids and running around having fun. When we first went in for an "interview" to check out the place, the front desk girl Emily said that they have 10+ extra admin on staff just to help out in the classrooms throughout the day. I have hardly ever seen anyone extra in the class unless it was for a bathroom break. One lady named Britney (I think-red hair) is out and about often in rooms and she is really engaging the kids). I don't write many negative reviews, but someone needs to fix this place. I could be so much better than it is. For what you pay, they should not be following the state student to teacher ratios. It is pretty pathetic what is going on here, for what you pay. read more

Way overpriced. They're great at sales though. The fascinating lesson plans are hardly followed as I viewed a few classes over time on the cameras. A lot of the programs are never really attended, not even allowed if your child's classroom has kids under 3. read more

I went to tour CLA after touring MANY schools in the area. The minute I walked in I felt that I could leave my kids here without worry. Emily at the front desk guided us through the school. She was super friendly and amazing and answered every question I had without hesitation. My kids LOVE the school as well. The entire staff is friendly and have great teachers. Emily and Suzanne at the front desk always welcome me and my kids and are happy. The director Ashley is always open to address any concerns and has an open door always. Ms Latonya and Ms Toni are wonderful and my younger daughter absolutely adores them. My older daughter also loves her teachers Ms Vicki and Ms Savannah and Ms Auzita. She is very shy and they are very patient with her and have worked with her on making friends and speaking more and more in class. My only complaint would be that i cant send my kids there after kindergarten. read more
