There are not enough words to truly describe how AMAZING they are. Our son has been there from 6 months old and is still there at 6yrs old. Every single teacher in there is very passionate about guiding every child to be the best they can be. If you are looking for a place that your child will be taught and loved unconditionally, this is it. They say it takes a village and The Childrens Education and Learning Center has been my village and I have NEVER had to worry about his care. A zillion stars to them

Im going to have to be a sort of resident old timer here as I had 2 kids go through the center.My son actually was one of the first kids in the center when they opened. I cant say enough good things as he was struggling with language when he started and when he finished he was ready for 1st grade although he was only allowed into K.Same thing I see with my daughter. The staff is wonderful to the kids and they help them every which way they can and I still think this is the best place around even though Wawa decided to build next door.

After shortly moving up to PA I was looking for a day care for my son. After some searching I found the Childrens Education and Learning Center. We got a tour of the school and the next week my son started school there. He absolutely loves it there. They have changed him and developed him so well. Robin is the absolute best owner Ive ever met of a day care. Its so clean and the staff is absolutely wonderful. Everyday they address my son by name and say hello and goodbye to me. Kelly is so helpful with the million questions I ask her. Right now my son is in the pre k program and im so grateful that he is. He is going to go into kindergarten and hes going to be ahead of the curriculum because of how good this school is for him. Thank you all so much for everything you do for us.

Our daughter started out in toddler 1 and has been there nearly 2 years now (in preschool). From ms Robyn, ms Maryann, ms Kelly, to her classroom teachers starting with ms Monica to ms Aaliyah and now ms Ashley and ms Mandy (and every staff that are in the classrooms as well) they truly genuinely care about the children. The facility is safe, and most importantly what every parent looks for: cleanliness. The teachers work with the children and teaches them, and they have taught my daughter a lot! From the politeness to her manners and alphabets and counting...each day they update you so you know what is going on. Any concerns they are also quick to update you. Every staff member I have encountered is professional and polite.In terms of the negative reviews I’m a bit puzzled. The pricing is in black and white. There aren’t hidden fees, every parent considering sending their child...visit and judge for yourself. This is the best that our area offers.

We have worked with CELC for a number of years. Everything is professional and first class. You cant go wrong choosing them for your child care needs.

The best day care I have ever encountered. Two of my kids go here and they absolutely love it. Most day cares my kids have been in have had little to no structure. But this place is like a school! Your kids are actually learning and being challenged ! Instead of just running around and playing all day. Do they have their play time? Of course they do! But everything is in moderation! I would highly recommend this day care to ANYONE!

I’ve been bringing my youngest son here for almost a year now and he absolutely loves it. Ms. Monica is awesome and always makes him feel so welcome in the morning when he comes in the class room, the directors and owners are also so awesome they always have smiles and a good morning waiting for you when you walk through the doors. I feel so great knowing how safe my child is while he is there. I would recommend this center to all of my friends

I’m writing this review based on many different factors; one as a mother and two as an educator in a public school. I have two children currently enrolled at the center. My oldest has been in attendance for two years. In the two years I can confidently say this is the best that our area has to offer. Both of my children are well taken care of while at the center. It is extremely clean and highly organized. The teachers are passionate about what they do. It is very apparent to me that the teachers love my children. They constantly and consistently keep me abreast with how my children are doing. It is highly structured while focusing on developmentally appropriate milestones for each specific age group. The needs of each individual child are always kept in mind. With that being said, this is a private educational facility; it is not a public school system. In a public school teachers are trained to deal with children who have special needs and there are legal documents that require that by law (IEP and 504 Plans). If a child requires more than the center can provide, the parent(s) is advised. This should be embraced in a positive manner and not frowned up. These professionals want what is best for your child. My overall experience has been nothing short of fantastic. I highly recommend checking out the facility for yourself and not allowing some false, negative reviews deter you from enrolling at a great center.

Very disappointed. I had a walk through with robin the owner ( so she said) she informed me of all her facility had to offer, which is a lot. Very nice facility. We spoke of price, she cofirmed all my questions and price that was spoke upon. When I take my son to daycare a few days later I’m taken back in to an office to speak with terry (I think that’s her name and an older women) I believe there are robins partners, terry tells me that the price that was confirmed is not correct and I would have to pay over 120 over the price that’s as originally agreed upon, terry stated she could call me earlier because they didn’t have my number. That was a ridiculous excuse because I gave Robin my name and number. They women did not try to work with me or anything, they were very cold hearted. I have called and left a message for Robin and never received a call back. What disappointed me the most was that Robin made it seem like they were all about the kids and there education and caring for them like family, when in reality they are all about the money, pretending to care for them for a check. I’m happy I was able to see what type of women run the daycare. I believe everything happens for a reason. I hope this never happens to someone else.Check out the growing tree daycare. There actions speak louder then words.

I seen the negative reviews and was hesitant to send my 2 year old to this daycare but after being recommended by neighbors and co-workers and touring the facility, I must say there is absolutely no reason the learning center should receive ANY negative review and I chalk it up to rare negative experiences for some unknown reason. I LOVE this place! It is clean, sanitary, the staff is friendly and genuinely cares about the students and it is the cleanist and most organized facility I’ve seen in Marshall’s Creek thus far! I cannot wait for my son to start and I’m sure I will have a problem picking him up everyday because he refuses to leave! If I could give you guys 10 stars I would. Well worth the money.

Unfortunately, our experience was less than satisfactory while paying around $22,800.00 per year (combined) for two children ages 4 and 5.

I needed a preschool for my son who has Apraxia and thought this would be the best place. Boy was I wrong. At first the supposed owner Jenn told me that it would not be a problem to take my son on. I explained to her he is not fully potty trained yet and you have to tell him sometimes to go to the bathroom. I also gave her some pull ups and she said it was fine so I did not think anything of it. The following week I get a call at work from the school and they are complaining saying that he urinated on himself and how it is not tolerated at all. Also how he ran on out of line to the door when they were going to the gym. She gave me about an hour long speech regarding all of this. I told her I thought it would not be a problem for him because upon registration you said it was ok that he is not fully potty trained. She then told me again they do not tolerate children that are not fully potty trained but they will work with him but I have to work with him at home which I was already doing. Mind you he is 4 years old and some children pick up potty training at a slower pace. Me and my wife begin working with him everyday and he is picking it up but at times we still have to remind him. I receive another call a few days later from the school saying he had another accident. Then another call a few days after that about how we need to bring him some shoes because the ones he has on are wet. Finally about 3 weeks in Jenn calls me again and said to me they can no longer accept him in the school. The Childrens Education and Learning Center kicked my 4 year old son out of the school because he is not completely potty trained after 3 weeks. Literally 2 weeks after she told me they were willing to work with him. My son goes to the bathroom fine it is only when he is having to much fun he forgets too and has to be reminded.This school is horrible for what they did. The reason Jenn told me it was ok when I was registering him was because they just wanted my money. If she had told me they do not tolerate kids that are not fully potty trained when I was registering him I would have went elsewhere. Even his teacher from the first time I saw her she had a really nasty attitude and a unpleasant look on her face. If you need a great preschool for your child go elsewhere.I want everyone to know what kind of this place is.

Love this place my daughter was in mrs Lynns class for pre K she was only their about a 2 or 3 months and learnd so much ,and she moved on to their kindergarten program mrs Stephanie is a very dedicated teacher who cares individually about each students needs she has under 2 months with my daughter and I see progress in my child daily I use this place for the learning in a safe comfortable environment I love that this entire staff knows my child and myself on a first name basis this place makes you as a parent in the years of transitioning into the years of school to come plesent and you feel safe leaveing your child knowing they are geting the care and education required to make a hard working child with grate comunication skills and life skills . Mrs maryann and Mrs Kelly are amazing as well
