    We are so incredibly happy with the education and socialization that our daughter is receiving at…read moreThe Children's Learning Adventure. Her first day, she baked a cookie, second day she played in their amazing gym! And everyday since has been finished with an everlasting smile and stories. Definitely worthy of a 5 star review. In addition, our daughters teacher, Mrs. Christina, is an amazing woman. She is wonderful with the children and has the patience of a saint. Thank you for everything you do! Lastly, the front desk and every other staff member I have interacted with have all been so incredibly nice and welcoming. They all make an effort to know each child's name and to welcome them every morning and wish them a great day when we leave.

    This place is REALLY bad everybody. This is not someone complaining about little things. There are…read moreMAJOR issues. Most pressing is the lax security. Their biometric scanner has been broken for like 2 years and every week, "We're having someone come out to fix it". Since it's broken they just buzz ANYONE in. I picked my daughter up maybe twice in almost 18 months and not a single time was I questioned or asked to show ID. Just to give some perspective our new daycare is tiny and maybe only has a total of 50 kids and they have TWO secure doors between the outside and the kids. TWICE my daughter was sent home with another girl's pants and no underwear. Day one we brought 5-6 pair of underwear and a few extra pair of pants. Every single week whether they were used or not my wife brought her clothes home and washed them and then took them back. When we called and asked why she was sent home without underwear they had no idea. I asked the teacher the next day and she said that they couldn't find her extra clothes. I walked over to my daughter's cubby and grabbed a bag full of clothes and showed it to the teacher. This place is the "Walmart" of daycare centers. They pack as many kids as they can into the building. In the morning they sometimes violate the rule for the number of teachers. I would drop my daughter off and there would be one teacher for 12-13 kids. The staff is confrontational and defensive if you report anything. We literally had no choice but to bring our daughter here and we got her out as soon as we moved into a new house. Two teachers from CLA currently work at my daughter's new daycare. They told us tons of horror stories about this place and how it's run. That's why they left and went to another center. Just please if you have to go here like we did then get on them about fixing the doors. I mean it. Have a friend of the family who is on your list but never been to the place before pick your kids up and I bet they walk right in and get them.

    We moved my son here a couple months ago and I couldn't be more pleased. The staff is very helpful…read moreand friendly. The app that they have to give parents updates through the day is great. My son has an allergy and they do special grocery shopping just for him. I love the art projects that come home each week. I love that his tuition is low and still includes diapers and wipes. Miss Annette is so sweet and funny. He loves her and Miss Alicia and all the other teachers. Everyday when I pick him up he is running around happy. It's hard leaving your little one all day but it's a little better when you know he's having a great time.

    So I wasn't going to post anything about this but seeing as tho nothing is going to be done about…read morethe situation it's time. Last Thursday I dropped my daughter off at daycare. At 9:00 am I watched her daycare teacher BIRGITT MANN snatch my daughters food from her and allowed her all but 5 minutes to eat her breakfast . I'm sorry but I've never known a two year old to eat in 5 minutes. Then I watched the teacher yank my daughter out of a toddler chair that she was more than capable of getting out of by herself and she shoved my daughter. I immediately went to pick my daughter up and I wasn't going to be confrontational I just wanted to get my daughter out of there because I was so uncomfortable but then the teacher started screaming at me as soon as I walked in the classroom . Screaming in front of an entire class of two year olds. Telling me that why am I watching video cameras while I'm driving (which I wasn't but doesn't really matter that's what the cameras are there for) proceeds to ask me why I have my daughter in daycare then when I told her to not put her hands on my child like that and then tries to grab my daughter again to "show" me what she did. To make matters worse the assistant director was in the room the entire time and did absolutely nothing to de escalate the situation. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD/CHILDREN TO LA PETITE ACADEMY IN THORNTON. They do not care for your child's safety or their needs the district manager wrote me off this afternoon with my phone call with her as well. They do not take matters like this seriously and they allow people who assault children to work for them. Sincerely fuck la petite academy .

Adjustments are made as needed to meet the needs of the student. The administration is open minded and think outside the box to make Primrose a successful educational experience for the students.

    THANK YOU Primrose Thornton for staying abreast of the COVID regulations throughout this pandemic…read moreand investing heavily (financially and other) in the health & safety of the school, teachers/staff and families. Yes, observing COVID regulations is (importantly) about individual and public health--but your compliance and care have positively affected our children's education, socialization, and our sanity because classes and the school can stay OPEN. Quarantine is costly and a big pain for all. There are multiple reasons behind different actions that are not in front of folks for them to see and understand. So while it shouldn't be necessary, in addition to all the hoops you've jumped through to make things work, thank you also for explaining to those who have a strong opinion and may not always understand "why". Also, my 4 year old has been attending since he was 1, and he loves his teachers and classmates. He's doing very well in school. We love that they provide meals (less work for parents) and have widely available hours (with some reasonable adjustments during COVID due to staffing & ratio requirements).

However, when we attempted to transition our child to a different classroom, we were met with unexpected resistance from management. What followed was a terse meeting, after which we were abruptly expelled from the program. Unfortunately, we have since learned that we are not the first family to experience this kind of treatment. There were also repeated instances where promised programs--such as Music and Mandarin--were quietly removed or dismissed as never having been part of the curriculum, despite earlier assurances. A concerning pattern we observed is how management handles criticism. Families who leave negative reviews on public platforms like Google are often met with threats of legal action from ownership (see attached image). People are afraid of reprisal and remove them as you will be targeted by management to find out if you know who left them as they are obsessed with their reviews. The organization is quick to invoke its "Parent Code of Conduct" to justify its actions, yet there is no equivalent standard of accountability for management behavior. As a result, many families feel compelled to leave anonymous reviews out of fear of retaliation. I urge other families to proceed with caution. Being removed from a daycare is not only disruptive to your child's development and emotional well-being, but also to your family's routine and stability. To make matters worse, the center does not offer refunds or even partial reimbursements if you are dismissed mid-month.
