    Our sons favorite teacher
    April P.

    This is the best, most wonderful daycare in Scottsdale. The care here is superb. The teachers are well educated, trained, and create meaningful interactions for the children. The teachers are very affectionate and loving to both our sons. They care about the impact they have on development and learning by creating fun structured activities throughout the day. When we drop our sons off each day, they are genuinely happy to see their teachers and friends at school. The educational activities that our son participate in has really helped his development. They teach children proper manners that helps carry over the skills we try to teach our sons at home. There is not enough praise that I can give CLA. I am grateful everyday for our sons to be part of such an amazing learning center. It is worth every penny!

    Wow! wow! wow! Having to choose a school / care center for you little ones can be so overwhelming and stressful. I did about 7 different tours in Scottsdale/Phoenix area and bumped into this amazing place called CLA in Scottsdale. Walking into this place was literally like walking into Disneyland . First of all, there is this strong beautiful group of women at the front desk that greeted us with the most amazing energy and beautiful smiles. Second -this place is gorgeoussss. Every classroom has full glass walls and you can see through everything . You see all kinds of ages (from newborn babes to preschool. Not to mention they have all kinds of camps throughout the year for the big kids) The faux three in the middle of the school is a cherry on top of this whimsical place. Everything is clean and organized . The outside is massive for outside play (all designated with age) & The teachers!!!! Gasppppp. They're all so so nice and wonderful. They write a report of what they did everyday and hand it to you when you pick them up. It's awesome My daughter is obsessed with her school (this school) she's currently 3 and we've been there for about a year now- & get this .... They greet us everyday just like the first day we went for our tour it makes my motherly heart just so happy and so comforted knowing that my daughter is in great hands in this school. She learns so much everyday. Every single staff member has just been a huge huge blessing in our lives. They go above and beyond and it's just all so thoughtful. Thank you CLA for being such an amazing team!! My family is so grateful for you

    Working at Children's Learning Adventure is easily one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Being a teacher at CLA continues to be the most fulfilling and rewarding job I have ever had. The education of a child, at all stages of development, is so important and no one does a better job at aiding in children's growth and development than Children's Learning Adventure. I say that not only as an employee but as a parent of a child there as well. My daughter has grown so much in the last year and a half and it's all thanks to the amazing staff at Children's Learning Adventure. As an employee there, I am provided with all the training and tools needed to create a fun, creative, and educational environment for my classroom. The curriculum provides daily activities and exercises to help engage all the children in my classroom and teach them new skills every single day. Watching each child in my class grow and thrive is so rewarding and I couldn't imagine spending my day doing anything else besides teaching. Not only is being part of these kid's lives amazing but the entire staff is so wonderful. I have never felt so supported and cared about at a job until I started at CLA. I am part of a family and this is the first time in my life I've ever felt that way in a workplace. The management staff has helped give me the training to be the best teacher I can be and are always there for support if and when needed. They have shown me kindness, understanding, and patience while I learned to grow and thrive as a teacher. I have found my forever home at Children's Learning Adventure and I couldn't be more grateful.

    Gym time!

    I have been working at CLA for about 2 years now and it has been an amazing experience. The school is clean, well organized and most importantly the teachers have a heart for children. I remember my first time walking the halls and seeing all the staff and children so happy. It really feels like the Disneyland of childcare... from infants to pre-K. I can't wait for my own child to attend here some day :)

    Transparently we have not actually sent our kids to this childcare center however I did tour it and…read morewas beyond impressed with them. The campus itself is super cute and set up very classroom style, which I think is a positive experience for young kids all of the kids and teachers were fully engaged and so happy. They also have a community area for kids to eat lunch to get them used to cafeteria style, which I thought was super cool and their meals are on the healthier side compared to most childcare centers. They additionally have some extracurriculars that you can pay extra for like dance or art for about $10 additional a week. They are on the slightly more expensive side, but honestly very reasonable in comparison to other childcare centers in the valley. If it was a little bit closer to our house or in a more convenient location, we would be sending our children here.

    I had my son here for two years and unfortunately it did not work out…read more I do love how friendly the girls are up front (there are some great women there) and it makes for a good atmosphere for the parents but the daycare seemed to have a high turnover rate with teachers and just an underlying toxic tone. I saw one teacher not being very patient or friendly with a child and later she was moved out to help with other activities (thank god). Another younger teacher would stomp past us and not even smile as if she hated us and her job. I understand my son made friends with a boy who seemed to be a troublemaker so he was difficult but the way the school handled it was by putting him up front in time out nearly everyday, and the teacher accosting me and telling me that he needs assessments as if he's special needs and then moving him down to half days only. I left in tears one day because of the way the teacher treated me. We transferred to the Scottsdale School and my son is thriving ! He has been learning SO much, the teachers have been there for years so they don't have a high turnover rate and my son loves going. I feel great dropping him off and they all love my son and he's super popular in school. We have had ZERO issues there. I do realize other people have good experiences here but I just always felt super off and stressed dropping my son off at this daycare. This daycare seemed to have a negative attitude towards my son (which may have been justified because of negative influences) which made for a somewhat threatening environment for him. Just know if a daycare is not working out then you can always find a better environment for your child. Young children are very influenced by other kids in the class so getting them into a different school may be appropriate.

At playtime, the teachers will have the new kid to pick someone to be a partner. During the playtime, partnered kids will have to stick together (to play). Every day, kids pick a different partner. This in turn, helped my daughter transitioning very well. They School has Yoga class and Music class once a week. The kids go to the garden and plant vegetables in Spring and harvest in Fall. Once a year, they have International Fest, Music Fest, Yoga Demonstration, Children's Thanksgiving Feast, etc..Despite the fact of lacking social interactions, this is a true learning environment. You won't see kids screaming or shouting here. I see kids as young as three here, behaving properly and learning to be independent. I arrange play dates, go to park, do swimming, and gymnastic for my kid's social and physical. For the past years, my daughter has thrived. She sounds out words, she is calmer, and she learned dinosaurs, the continents, and the solar system at age four. The quality of education and learning experience my daughter has been received is extraordinary. I feel safe leaving my child there every day and I truly believe that they have my child's best in mind.

Even studying Music Production in London. She went on to record her first album in LA and is on her 3rd album. In fact, her stage name is, "Meet the Sun".

You just know she puts in a ton of work behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly. The teachers are the best. They truly love what they do, and it feels like more than a job to them. My girls adore their teachers, and they're kind of like their little second family. They talk about their teachers outside of school a bunch so it really has a positive impact. The classrooms are always clean, which stood out to me when I toured several schools at the beginning. There's always a great mix of activities, and the kids spend plenty of time outside getting fresh air. Between my two daughters, we've had a child in every age group at some point, from infant to pre-K, and the care has been consistently great. When one of my girls had a phase of some behavioral challenges, the staff worked with us as a team to figure it out instead of pushing us away. Within a few days, things got better and she moved on from that phase. That's the kind of personal touch you get with a smaller school. They send pictures and updates, and it's just such a comforting feeling to know your kids are safe, happy, and having fun every day. We love Amore!

In the first month, it took him some adjusting and he was refusing the bottle while at daycare. As a first time parent, I was so worried about it but the director and staff at Amore were diligent in finding a solution and making our child comfortable. Definitely helped lift a load off my shoulders. It seems like all the staff knows my little baby and he smiles when he sees them. We have been incredibly impressed with their nurturing, caring and professional approach to child care. We are so grateful for their team. I love being able to see photos and communicate with the staff via their app as well. It's so nice to read about what they have been up to that day and see a picture or two to break up my work day. The monthly Parent's Night Out was great for us as well because we didn't have a babysitter that we trusted in the early months. We had a few hours to ourselves while our child spent time in an environment we knew he was cared for and safe. Analiese and her team really work hard to meet the needs of your child and they really put a lot of work into their daily activities for the children's social, physical and intellectual growth. My husband and I have so much appreciation for Amore.
