Love love love this school! My kids received a great education and I could see their progress in learning throughout the year. Very pleased with the information they cover and things my kids experienced and learned. They never if rarely came home with bad attitudes or acted not taken care of. I would say they were always excited and loved attending. My two boys attended from pre-k 2 to 5 (and kindergarten when they had it). Now a few years later, we are back and I am bringing my 3rd son- starting in the 2yr-old room. So excited! read more

My son attended the school from prek3 to kinder garden. The kind and loving atmosphere there totally shocked me. My son loved going there every day and the way Ms. Cherry treated all the kids in the class has affected him in so many good ways. It is there where he fell in love with reading and studying. What I loved the most is the way teachers treated all the unpleasant situations my son have caused at times - with respect and valuable advice. Ms. Debby coached him into a better person that gave me a good example of how to treat my kids at home too. Another thing that I loved was the family events. Man those are memorable and I am so glad I got my son to experience great father's day, mother's, family nights, picnics, and farm outings. read more

CLA has been THE BEST starting point for both of my children. I toured other schools and found none compared to the perfect blend of academics and loving care that my children received here. The teachers and entire staff are truly exceptional and provided such a warm and fun environment for my children to learn in. They both left totally prepared both socially and academically for kindergarten. Grateful to this amazing staff and school for proving such a positive foundation for education. My children still name the teachers here as their favorites, they were sad to leave when it was time to move on. Truly, the best decision ever!! read more

Moving to Bensalem and looking for the best daycare for our children my wife and I went and explored what there was to offer. After we walked into CLA, we both knew that this was the right place. When our daughter first started, she had a very severe speech delay. The teachers and staff at CLA went above and beyond to work with her and when she left, she did not qualify for speech entering Kindergarten. Our son is in his third year now and we could not be more grateful for how prepared he will be for Kindergarten. We highly recommend CLA and will miss the wonderful staff that we have grown to know! read more

I HIGHLY recommend this school and summer camp. My daughter spent many pre-k years here and both my daughter and her older brother have attended many summers here. This is not just a daycare, they teach and love the children as their own. The days are structured and the kids have so much fun! Every single teacher is truly amazing! They go above and beyond in every way. This school is truly a gem in Bensalem. The newest director, Mrs.Johanna is absolutely amazing! Don't even waste your time looking elsewhere. This is the best around! read more

Was a good place for 2 years until they decided we "missed registration" with no warning or verbal communication for the pre-k, 3 days before classes began. Even in those 2 years i began to feel something was a miss with staff. Teachers are great but the director has poor communication with the parents. They say Facebook is a way of communication, but some of us parents do not use that. I would have thought after 2 full years of us being there, there would have been better communication esp when they seen our child wasn't on the re-registration for the fall classes after we filled the proper summer camp papers which came after and seeing she was not of School age. I personally think the director has a hidden agenda for kids placed by priority. And no out child had no discipline problems or disability or even a late tuition payment. There is however a high turnover for staff. read more

My son attends this school, although I think it's a good school it's not a school for special needs children. I can't say much about the teachers. read more

My daughter attends this school and is also in the 2 year old classroom. In response to the review left by Lydia H.- removing a child from a school is an extreme response and I know those teachers did what they did in order to keep my child and the other 17 children in this class safe. Shame on you for blaming them. We all observed what was happening and I applaud their decision. As for this school they are amazing, my daughter runs into her teachers arms every morning. She is learning sign language, she knows bible stories and can say bible verses. she can count to 20, she recognizes her letters and is beginning phonics, she has mastered colors and shapes and they even got her potty trained!!! I credit this school and these teachers for how far she has come. Love this place!! read more

I started my son at this school and he attended from 1/16 to not even the end of 2/16. This was such a mistake! We needed a full time day care after he was only watched by his grandparents from the time my maternity leave was over. My son is not quite 3 yet. Two weeks after he started this school and it was clear he was anxious and crying the majority of the day. Every paper every day from the school was negative feedback. We chose to have him evaluated at the behest of his teacher and the center director. This happend after several last minute meetings with the teacher and center director regarding my son's crying, anxiety and hyperactivity. After basically demanding a 1 to 1 for my son, and writing a list of all the things negative they could think of. Even accusing my son of having "abnormal gait - always runs, only walks with supports" which basically means my son doesn't know how to walk. Which is an outright lie that was observable by the evaluation team during his in home evaluation by NHS by the way. The school following the evaluation was then unhappy when they were informed that he would not have a 1 to 1, and that he would instead receive 2 hours special instruction, and 2 hours occupation therapy per week. I will run down my son's last week there. Monday - my son had a quiet and calm day. The center director asked my husband "Did you give him cold medicine" as if we drugged our son. We did not. The second day a paper comes home stating my son Had another reserved and quiet day - is everything ok? I then replied that home life was positive and he had a wonderful weekend, and we even adopted a kitten after reading companion animals help with anxiety. School went as far to say today that my son could be "Bipolar, and should be evaluated by CHOP", because this week was an unfair representation of him, and that his service providers were not able to see his extreme hyperactivity. I work in mental health - a child would not be diagnosed until age 4 for a mental health diagnosis first of all. Second of all how OUTLANDISH! He is 2 years old! Even more appalling - The school said my sons last day would need to be 3/4/16 because they cannot serve him. They did not even try to implement any of the suggestions in his new IFSP. No, no today was his last day because my son deserves so much more. 250 per week for what exactly? read more
