I have to support the previous reviewer who said this place is Ill-equipped and Ill-prepared to care for and nurture the social-emotional growth of active children, especially boys. Our recent experience was that the staff are simply unmotivated and unwilling to work with kids who wiggle, move and may be a little bit more immature than others. And when approached about concerns or suggestions to utilize strategies that work at home, the staff and administration are defensive and think it appropriate to blame the children for behaviors that so obviously stem from inadequate classroom and playground management. If you've got an active, highly inquisitive or precocious child that needs caring for, you need to find a place with kinder, more experienced and more motivated instructors as well as a more knowledgeable administration. This is not CLP. Your child will not get adequate or fair treatment. And it could affect their self-esteem much like it has our son. At CLP your child will simply be labeled by staff and administration as lacking empathy or "not being a good kid." They take no responsibility for their shortcomings. It is also our experience that the place has a high staff turnover. In the 6 months we were at this place, our classroom went through 4 different classroom instructors AND the Associate Director quit (the one that actually had a background in Early Childhood Education). Shame on ownership, they should not be in this business as they obviously don't know what they are doing read more

Let me start off by saying that I am not one to typically post negative reviews, especially when I know that they may affect a business and the families who are affiliated. However, as an early childhood educator with a Bachelor of Science degree in birth- 8 years, this review, is worth reading if you care about your children and what goes on when you leave them in someone else's care. Do your research and know who you are dealing with and what the main goals of the institution are. Know what background the owner has and her true motives and disposition. Creative Learning, to my experience, has been Completely Unprofessional. I sent my newborn there and his bottles were often lost and if they were sent back they belonged to someone else's child with breastmilk of that mother. Call you to leave work to pick up your child every time there is an outbreak of possible fever or anything from another child - if yours has a minor rash, cough, temperature, or spits-up - expect their staff to be relieved of your child by having you miss work to rush to get them. My oldest son went there for after care. His father and I co-parent. I explained that we often do not get the same invoices - therefore when I would go in to pick my children up, I would ask for any balances and charges I may not know about. I was told on 3 different occasions when asking for invoices - with my checkbook in hand - that "no one was available to assist me at that time". Weeks later, my son's father has a mark on his credit in excess of $900, a large portion of which was "collection fees" they applied and assessed after refusing to give me invoices and allowing me to pay whatever these unknown charges were, in person. Money-making goal. They will not allow you to bring your own diapers for your newborns, because they want to charge you $35 extra a month to make money on that end, too. As for the older children left in after-care, expect to find them sitting alone in a corner when you go to pick them up. Do your research, parents. ...

This place is absolutely horrible! The director, Pam, puts up a really good front when you go in for the tour, but the reality is she is VERY rude & has absolutely no idea what goes on in her daycare! It was documented that my child never eat or drink any milk products & she lied on several occasions to try to cover up the fact they fed her milk products by accident. My child was in the 6mo-1yr class for the past 5mos along with a VERY sick child who was constantly infecting her. Pam made me believe that something was wrong with my child's immunity or had allergies & continued to cover up for the other child. One instance that I know she tried covering up was when I dropped my daughter off at 7:30 one morning I was standing right next to the chronically sick child when a staff member took his temp which was 102.8 and I heard the asst director say they needed to have the mother come & pick him up. When I arrived at 3:30 that afternoon Parker was still there because the mother refused to pick him up because she said she didn't time for that. When I confronted Pam the next morning because my child fell ill with the flu (which come to find out that's what Parker had the day before) she told me he didn't go home because although he looked really bad he didn't have to go home because he wasn't running fever...the idiot had no idea that I witnessed them take his temp. She immediately tried to act surprised when I told her that I saw it with my own eyes...she tried saying she never knew about the fever. I trusted this lady & believed her that something was wrong with my baby. After 33 Drs/specialists visits, 12 doses of antibiotics, 3 shots, 4 bloodwork orders, 2 sweat tests for CF, & allergy testing yesterday we find out there is absolutely nothing wrong with my baby girl & my feeling about that very sick kid the daycare has allowed to stay in her class without sending him home has been right all along. When I confronted Pam I was told that since he has been there longer than my baby that he gets to stay and my daughter has to leave immediately. She was enrolled there 5 months & has missed 62 days for illnesses so we've lost $1,085 in tuition for days we paid for but lost because she was sent home, spent $1300 on co-pays & medicines, $500 on her deductible, & $10,416 in lost wages because I had to miss work on the days she wasn't allowed in daycare, all the sleepless nights watching her feel miserable, & all the unnecessary needles & tests that she had to go thru. You're probably asking yourself how I know for a fact that it's got to be Parker who's making her sick...well she's been in an older class for a week now (away from that kid) and she hasn't even had so much as a runny nose. One of the daycare workers walked outside with me one day so the surveillance cameras couldn't see her & she informed that this wasn't the first something this horrible has happened & that they are very shading with running their business. Parker's mom had an established relationship with these people since her other children went there so she apparently gets better treatment than the rest. Pam hurt my baby & costs us a lot of money. I have contacted the state & have requested a full investigation & have contacted my lawyer. I should have figured something wasn't right when they never have a waiting list & they are never at full capacity.... read more
