My son loves it here! He learns so much and surprises me with new knowledge constantly. He loves his teachers and the structure it provides him really helps keep his energy levels at bay. He loves culinary and learning about cooking. The variety of things being taught is amazing. I want to send my daughter here as well, if I can make it happen. Its worth every penny!

My 2 year old son has been attending since October 2018. At first it was hard as he was used to another daycare. But things have definitely been getting better. I sometimes have days off during the week, and I ask my son if he wants to go to his school. He says Yeeees with so much excitement. He likes his teacher Alyssa. He even ask for her randomly when we arent with her, and it makes me feel good he cares for her. Also, I got my son a ton of magnets with letters and numbers and he can almost identify all the letters!! I was so amazed because being a working mom it can get hard to make time to teach him things. I know he must be learning in his classroom and that is very important to me. I have yet to have any poor experiences. I honestly would refer my friends and family to come here.

Although my daughter, Reina, only attended for 3 weeks out of the summer, I want you to know that she really enjoyed it and came home every day with lots of fun stories and adventures.  I will definitely be keeping CLA in mind for future when there is a gap between the school-offered summer camp and the date school resumes.  I found your staff to always be friendly and helpful.  All of the teachers were really fun and energetic.  I honestly have no complaints.  Thanks again for a great summer!!

Angela Norman is such a great director! She makes sure she knows all the names and faces of all the kids there. She is also making sure that my daughter is ready to go from preK to Kinder next year and I am so happy! I love that the price is all inclusive! The staff as a whole is SO caring and I love coming here! So does my daughter! She says hi to all her teachers and misses school when she doesn’t come. We made a great decision coming here!

I didn’t like this place, they keep telling me the class they put my two boys in is to get ready for kindergarten. After being in that class for 10 months, they don’t even know how to write their name. How disappointed! When I told them my boys are not coming back here anymore, she asked me to try their kinder program. What? You have a kinder program? Why don’t you put my boys in the kinder program since beginning. I think they’re just daycare, not a preschool.

I love this childcare facility. The staff is always friendly and they make it a point to know children by name. My son’s teacher is wonderful and he has grown so much in his few months there. Academically speaking, this is well worth the money.

The facilities here are brand new, extremely clean, bright and cheery. The staff is so incredibly kind and invested in the well being of each child. My almost 3 year old and my 9 month old go here and LOVE it. Their teachers always keep me informed of every detail and advancement they make. When we enrolled, my almost 3 year old -Ibrahim-was just starting potty training. His teachers were so supportive in keeping him on track, taking him to the bathroom regularly and his training was extremely quick. Also, hes been in attendance since they opened and has learned a huge vocabulary of Spanish words and numbers as well as many songs and games. He is so excited to see his friends and teachers every day. I am so happy with the care and education they receive there.

Awesome staff! Always helpful and friendly. Beautiful atmosphere with a lot of fun activities. My 12 and 9 yr olds were there for a day during the teacher walkouts, they did not want to leave!! They had so much fun!🤗♥️

I love this place!! My daughter is currently enrolled and talks non stop about the things she learns there, as well as about all of her friends, and even who her favorite teachers are!!Whats also great, is the flexibility in pick up and drop off times. Being open from 6am-630pm gives working parents plenty of time to schedule and plan for each work day without worry!

My daughter, in the preschool program, likes going there and in fews days she came home with news words, knowing how to write numbers etc...I tried to teach her that at home and just in one day there to finally be able to do so is amazing!!!Very clean place, good schedule of teaching, good classes and lovely people.

I absolutely love this school. My 4 yr old daughter is so excited to go everyday, and even wants to go on weekends. She is learning so much, and the environment is very warm and the staff are friendly. I have no complaints.

This place is TERRIBLE; the people in charge are the worst part, by far. Yeah, the place is beautiful inside but the people running it are not. The director can be nice at first but she can truly careless about you or your family.Honestly, I only gave it two star because of some of the dedicated employees. I really enjoy the dedication they bring to the table. They are the reasons you should want to bring your children. However, I suggest,for the place to become a better experience, they should re-evaluate the director and assistant director.

Absolutely disappointing! We enrolled our five month old and only had him there for a few months. We had to pull him out because we went to pick him up early one day and found him sleeping in his crib with his blanket covering him head to toe! It took everything in my power not to blow up on the caregiver in there. We began to notice a significant decline in their level of care! We did notice a lot of turnover during our short time there. The director is not very friendly. The place always seemed very disorganized! We found a few of the teachers were illiterate. We did not want our child growing up in that kind environment. We hope they make some significant changes soon as it could potentially cost the life of a child. Unfortunately by pulling him from daycare early put us in a bad situation but we are now at a great place. We couldnt believe the night and day difference from this place to our new location!

My 3 year old loves this school and so do we! The walls and classrooms are decorated and the building always looks awesome with different displays and themes. I love the different rooms and my daughter especially loves the Reading Reef and Culinary Creations, Gym is always a fun room too! The teachers we started off with were so pleasant and sweet with my little girl- she still asks about them! When we moved to E 2 the new teachers are great and always greet us when we walk in. My daughter has learned so many new things and has made some of her first friends.I do agree with some others on the cost- I wish it was cheaper. Its expensive and I dont necessarily agree with the annual supplies fee of $150 (thats ALOT to ask for each kid so unless theyre using markers made with liquid gold, it should be significantly less) after spending so much throughout the year. But, my daughter loves it and were happy with the care so I cant complain much- the cost is worth it! I definitely recommend this school!

We tried this place during spring break and my son was always in a different room. One of the days my wife spent 30 minutes with staff trying to locate our son.... They place looks cool, but like KinderCare much much more

My family recently moved here from England, and I enrolled my son Reginald here for preschool, and I am quite impressed. As we are preparing him for boarding school, it is quite imperative that he is exposed to a wide assortment of academic material, and CLA has admirably delivered. When Reginald and I have our daily recap of academic achievements, he consistently boast a level of academic knowledge that far surpasses that of a preschooler, to which I must accredit CLA. The director, Miss Angela Norman, has always been more than amenable during our discourse. CLA is nothing less than a fine establishment with a staff who are more than admirable.

CLA is by far the best childcare/preschool place in the west valley. My 2 years old loves it there and I am not the easiest person to please 😂. The new director miss Angela brought a fresh pulse to the facility. I love Miss Tylor and Miss Amber. Most of the staff is extremely welcoming. The facility is clean, kids move out of the room in to indoor gym, that’s priceless as many chincares will keep Kids in one room. I child does not have more then 8 Kids in the class. I have visited so many childcare that squeeze 16 Kids with 2 teachers in one little room. Not this place. I rather pay more to have less kids in the classroom. Worth the money.

This place is terrible. The Director so so cocky, and rude. She will not even look at you while you walk down the hall.She has to have her phone called screened by people who have no idea what they are doing. This is a child care center not some celebrities assistant those phone calls should go straight to her. She is a fake you can tell because when i enrolled she was the nicest lady. Im sorry but as parents we can read right through the fakes. This place is very ghetto. There is a girl here who the staff and parents are expected to call her Ki Ki come on lets be serious you work with children. Also Mrs. Ki Ki is a real winner. Make sure to ignore her attitude as shes speaking to you. I am curious to know why the sweet ladies who work here never get a potty break? Maybe its because the girls up front are always messing around or looking at Christmas ideas online instead of working. A few of the ladies are amazing the infant room is wonderful as well as E1 and E2. I remember E1 had a class with a special needs child who threw chairs and a daily basis as well as continued to hit children all of the child. My friend dis enrolled because of that situation. This place has only been open a year and the staff turn over rate is through the roof.It is a beautiful place but it is not where you want to spend a mortgage payment.

Its what it should be for $1000/ month, High price, but i feel like they dont put that money back into my child. They also charge me hundreds extrra for annual supplies What the hell am i paying 1000$/ month for then...... I dont know. Its nice, but far overpriced.

Horrible staff! We started when the school first started. My daughter loved her teachers and everything started out great.Then she was moved from the 2 year old classrooms to the 3 year old class. The teachers seemed nice but they hardly talked to you when you dropped off and picked up. We started having an issue with finding the classroom every morning and I would constantly have to hunt her down when I came to pick her up. I talked to the director of the school, Kim Pfeifer-Adams,l about the issue and she told me the problem would be fixed. It never was. She gave me her word over and over but failed to pull through with a solution. There was never even an attempt to fix the issue! I repeatedly talked to her and the very next day I would show up and deal with the same issue. I withdrew my daughter from the school but they still charged me for another week after her two weeks notice was over! When I called their accounting I was told by a very rude woman that it would take 10-14 days to receive my refund. They treated us poorly. That was over 2 weeks ago and I am still fighting them for my money back.The director of the school,Kim Pfeifer-Adams, made it very clear that she does not care and can not and will not take control of her school. She is there to give her fake apologies and empty promises before she lets her school steal from you. I would never recommend this school to anyone. Its overpriced for such a horrible director.

Beautiful place they said do lots of activities learn language, dance etc NOT true...the director was a nice lady help me yes to be able to pay for my two adopted kids, I didnt like the fact they dont care if the kids take naps or not when you pick them up they all cranky and their reports at the end of the day said he eat, he nap and when you ask the kids said the opposite. When they let the director go things change one of the staff at front told my daughter wow you should be lucky for paying that amount you would never find a place for that amount, i thought she was rude on her comnent. Some of the staff at the front office was very nice some others rude especially if they know you have des assistance treat you bad. They have a lady in the front office her name is Angela that the rude persone I ever known she can see you standing in front of her face no eye contact no greeding people, with that sour face they need to sit her on the back gives the place a bad reputation. I contacted corporate with a problem they told me I would get contact by them with in a day . ..didnt happened now my kids are ob a better place, why pay for a nice place if you are not being treated with respect.

Our child attends this facility. I will say the set up on the inside is superb, parking lot is horribly small and crowded for as much business as they generate. I do have to say that it is overpriced for the service that was bieng sold but not deliverered. I also dont like that my child is in 3-4 classes/instructors a day besides his homeroom & im not talking about the gym, chef, or music specials that they go to. When we drop off in the morning he is with one lady, if we come a little after 7 hes with someone else then gets picked up by his home room teacher whenever she comes in and then for pick up I have to hunt my kid down, I never know which room hes in. I also think they should notify you about incidents that happen. For example my son comes home with cuts that are freshly bleeding, bruises that are fresh like someone hit, kicked or punched him which Im sure happens during play with other children but my child is too young to explain what happened and what the situation was so I wish the teacher would email or write it on his daily paper. Usually very clean, front desk is cheerful. I give it 3/5 stars

CLA has been such an amazing school to my son for nearly a year and a half. The facility is unlike any other and the staff are amazing. In the past I have had a few issues with certain things and had dis-enrolled my son and sent him to The Goddard School (which was a wreck of a school) ultimately the director and I spoke, got the issues resolved and now my son and I could not be happier. He is excited to go to school every day and the curriculum and the education is just far better than any other place. My son is 4 and he is far more academically advanced than most 5 year olds coming out of Kindergarten and heading to first grade all because of the quality education CLA provides. The teachers there bond with each student individually and give personal feedback to you every day. My son has really grown and learned far more than I could have ever wanted him to. They also have the kids to crafts for all the holidays and send presents home for the parents or grandparents that the kids made and they are always adorable. The culinary class is awesome my son comes home asking to make what he made that day in class and is actually able to tell you what ingredients are needed and what steps to take which goes to show that its not just some rinky dink little class they are actually spending time TEACHING kids. They have so many rooms and things for the kids to do that there is never boredom, compared to other centers that keep the kids in one room all day long like The Goddard School and Kindercare. CLA offers such a wide range of educational tools. The kids are even taught spanish and sign language each day.The teachers and staff there are always welcoming and always there to answer any questions or concerns or just to chit chat with you, and of course give kids stickers on their way out (all the kids really love it). The facility is safe and clean and I literally never have a worry when I drop him off for the day. The pricing is definitely competitive to other centers and is just on a whole other level from them to begin with as far as their entire center goes. They also offer private Kindergarten which is a huge plus to parents and kids because the educational level is so much higher here than in a public school. My son loves this school, I love this school, and I am sure we will be here for many more years to come. If you want the absolute best for your child, enroll them in Childrens Learning Center.
