My son, now 3, has thrived since starting at this school. It has a much more structured and thorough academic plan compared to our previous school. Also, the staff and facility are amazing! We have felt so at home since our first visit. He loves going here, loves his teachers and has truly grown so much.

My daughter started here one year ago. This place is clean, organized, well-maintained, predictable. The facility is top-notch. The place is kept meticulously clean. The playground is large, with separate zones for kids of different ages. Breakfast and lunch are well thought out and balanced. The staff is professional. The daily reports are thorough. My child is making the solid social and educational progress here: she comes back from CLA every day with noticeable improvements to her skills and knowledge.

As a current employee at Childrens Learning Adventure Scottsdale, I can say I have never worked for a better company. Having lived in Arizona for a short time, my co-workers are more like family, than co-workers. It is truly a warm,amazing atmosphere. I have worked at other centers in my hometown, and this place is off the chart in regards to our families and children coming first! Childrens Learning Adventure is an excellent school for anyone looking for a high quality, learning environment. :-)

I have been employed with Childrens Learning Adventure for one year and enjoyed every minute of it. I have had the privilege to be a teacher and part of the management team and loved them both equally. I have never worked at a daycare before and was a little hesitant at first. Im glad this was my first one. I would not work with any other company. Just like Disney Land!

CLA has been a fantastic fit for my 5 month old. The teachers are kind and supportive of my transition of going back to work and making me and my baby feel so comfortable. The office staff is always incredibly friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a great infant environment

I cannot say enough about this school and company. I left my previous job because I truly missed working with children, so I searched for a place that I thought I could connect with. Well, I found it! Childrens Learning Adventure Scottsdale is as good as it gets. I started out as a teacher and I have had the opportunity to train with management. They run such a solid program here. Their director, Stephanie, is amazing. She demonstrates leadership, and organization and makes our school feel like a family. The rest of the team is just as wonderful including our stellar teachers. So if you are looking for a fun friendly environment to bring your child to or to work at, look no further!-Kali Crebassa

Childrens Learning Adventure is an excellent daycare! My daughter has been attending for over a year and has learned so much since. Her current teacher, Miss Stephanie, is AMAZING! Every day as we approach the school, my daughter squeals with excitement , talking about her friends, her teacher and all the activities she plans to do that day. Its never easy for a working parent to leave their young child at a daycare all day, but knowing that she is enjoying her time and the people makes everything much easier!

We have searched high and low for a summer camp and Before/After school care that had a good curriculum and caring teachers and staff. We are so happy and appreciative for the staff and teachers at CLA! They go out of their way to help in any way they can. The kids love it there and their teachers. They communicate, and always keep the parent informed. We are so happy to have found CLA! If you are looking, look no further. They are by far the BEST!

Me and my fiancé just placed our 2 year old in this daycare, and so far we are extremely pleased. Our daughter loves it, the facilities are top-notch, and the staff are very polite and professional; particularly the admissions lady Sapphire. When we went to go tour the center, we could tell how passionate she was about the kids and their well-being, and she knew all of their names and the parents names as well. She also answered all of our questions with great knowledge and addressed any concerns we had, but never pressured us into choosing the center; she genuinely wanted what was best for our daughter. We had toured the childrens learning adventure in chandler, and we were quite disappointed with the staff and their lack of passion they showed towards the students there as well as the lady who gave us the tour seemed disinterested to say the least. In the end we choose the Scottsdale location mainly for convenience but also because of the great job Sapphire did!!

My 8 month old started at CLA Scottsdale about 3 months ago and we cant say enough great things about it. Yes, the facility is beautiful, but its the staff that makes it such a great place. I know when I leave my daughter that she is learning and loved. Her teachers can tell me exactly what kind of a day she had and are invested in her well-being. I would highly recommend this facility.

The Humble, TX location is the worst location in the world. They do not redirect behavior and the education specialist doesn’t have a freaking clue when it comes to raising a child or teaching. The humble school has no business being in business and the corporate office is sorry as hell too. Very upset with their lack of customer service and very disappointed that I even took my son there in the first place.

Teachers truly love their jobs and their kiddos. Management is easy to reach. We are full-time and experience is always clean, safe, friendly, bright, and engaging.

The other day I went to pick up my niece from Childrens Learning Adventure and I couldnt believe the environment of her preschool!! They IDd me at the front counter to make sure I was eligible to pick up and then proceeded to walk me all the way to a class and introduce me to her teachers. They were so welcoming, told me how she did that day, what fun activities they got to do and sent me on my way with all of her belongings. The overall feel of the school was amazing and now I know why my sister sends her daughter there. If I could go back to being a kid this is definitely a place I would want to go.

My daughter has been attending CLA for over a year now, and we couldnt be happier. The staff is attentive, and her teachers have been wonderful. She learns so much, and surprises us every day with her ever growing vocabulary. She has even taught us a few new songs, as well. The staff goes out of their way to make every event special, from birthdays to holidays, to their special Friday dress up days. We are very lucky to have found such a great facility for our daughters care.

This school takes cares of all my needs, and my son. He loves this school so much. We finally found the perfect school, and i couldnt be happier. My son is of course beyond happy as well

Bringing my child to Childrens Learning Adventure every day is a pleasure to say the least! She is so excited to see the bright smiles of her teachers as she walks in, and has made so many friends there. All of the staff has welcomed our family with such enthusiasm, that CLA feels like our second family. My daughter learns so much every day and is always coming home with stories from her lessons. Its hard to believe that with such high demands that child care requires, everyone at CLA can manage to keep up; but not only do they manage, they excel at their duties while maintaining an upbeat attitude and an environment that exhorts learning.I hope all parents and children get the experience of attending Childrens Learning Adventure in Scottsdale! This place is our little gem, and I want to spread the good news!

My Daughter started in the infant room at Childrens Learning Adventure a year ago this month. She has since moved into their toddler program and I am equally impressed with the care she is receiving from her new teachers. Of course the facility is amazing... Yes, it will blow you away when you walk in... But, more importantly, behind all the external flash, I have found a highly professional group of individuals that are commited to my daughters well being and growth. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend CLA to anyone looking for more than just a daycare.

My 2yr old son started going to CLA the first day it opened and we noticed within a week some major improvements to his behavior compared to the previous daycare. CLA provides an excellent environment for children to grow and explore. I would recommend this daycare above all others. The staff is wonderful and I always feel comfortable leaving my children in their care. Any issues or concerns that I may have are almost immediately resolved. Thanks for everything Stephanie!!!!!

Boys my kids (infant and toddler) are extremely well taken care of - the team (teachers, staff, etc) is fully involved, responsible, friendly and most importantly really care about all kids. Everything is state of the art, an enviroment that stimulates and engages our kids at every moment - which is hard to find in our area and/or in general. From a wide range of activities, smart curriculum and great execution of programs to great, fun teachers, the CLA is outstanding. I would (and did) highly recommend this place to all my fellow friends with kids.

I used to work here. And the management was horrible to staff that wasnt a favorite of theirs. One of the enrollment specialist was more interested in using the company credit card on lunches for management & Starbucks drinks versus what was actually needed. Such as: NEW bottle warmers, NEW bouncers, NEW play dough. Teachers were having to spend their paychecks on supplies for the class room. When they hand out shopping lists for each room. Again, only the favorite teachers actually got their items. They had a fall film festival and wanted the teachers to decorate each classroom a different movie but they didnt buy any supplies for the teachers that they didnt like. I skipped out on MY lunch to let a different teacher go home early because she got sick. I ended up getting dizzy, and asked if I could possibly go home. One of the managers-YELLED at me, and said I dont believe there is anything wrong with you. She yelled at me in front of a class of 2 year olds, and another teacher. HORRIBLE management skills. The teachers in the FIRST infant room, are NEGLECTFUL. They dont change the babies every hour, they dont feed the babies at the appropriate times according to the PARENTS written schedule instructions. There has been 2 separate incidents involving babies drinking the wrong bottles in Infant Room 1. The infant room teacher in room ONE is more concerned with taking selfies with the babies and posting them onto snapchat than actually taking care of the babies. The turn over rate for teachers is so high that I cant even believe they have been open this long. I called and reported the incident with the management to corporate and they did NOTHING about it! It is clear that they are NOT in it for the employees well being OR the childrens well being. I do NOT recommend this daycare/preschool for anyone! Hire a NANNY for your infants instead. The prices you pay for that center is NOT worth it at all.

I am a current employee at CLA Scottsdale. Since I came on board in August of 2012, Ive enjoyed being a member of one of the most passionate and dedicated management teams Ive ever had the privilege to work with. From the amazing facility, to the teaching, to the wonderful families we serve, CLA Scottsdale is great community. So happy to be a part of it!

I will never take my child here again. She immediately got sick the first week there and was ill for over a month with the flu, it was horrible. She was 16 months old. Also, when I would arrived there in the morning I would find children sleeping huddled over in the corner. Didnt seem right to me, put the child on a cot. That is what I would want done with my child anyway. We were only there for a week and they lost her jacket and bed sheet WITH HER NAME on it. It was very chaotic and unorganized and nobody ever really had any answers. It also has a weird smell inside the rooms.Lastly, they said they would refund me my second week as my daughter was too sick to attend after the first week. They never did. I emailed 10 times and called 10 times too. Nothing.Do not take your child here. There are too many other schools in the area with much more to offer. Dont be fooled by the fancy exterior.

Called Childrens Learning Adventure to get rates for their summer program because my child loved them two years ago and they couldnt provide me with rates over the phone unless if I toured their facility.Disappointed.

We moved our girls from another well known day care facility to CLA about a year ago. After a very disappointing experience at our previous facility, we could not be more pleased than what we are at CLA, Scottsdale. We have seen our two girls grow both academically and socially. We are able to drop them off there every day and leave knowing that they are being well cared for and that the teachers as well as the management truly care about them. Every teacher that we have interacted with has been positive, and you can tell that they enjoy being with the kids as well as enjoy what they do. On the rare occasions that we have had problems or concerns the management staff has reacted immediately and positively to our concerns. They play a huge role in the lives of our two most important possessions, and as parents we could not be more pleased.

We started in the 3s. We absolutely love the curriculum and the environment is wonderful. They switch rooms for different subjects, up to date furniture, etc. and very welcoming. They have Advanced Pre-K for kids that have a late birthday and miss the K cutoff for public school. My daughter is learning an amazing variety of subjects. They are in depth, all activities tie into the theme of the month, week and day. Just very happy with the teachers and curriculum. Additionally the menu is healthy and teacher to student ratio is appropriate.***HUGE problems with Director, Kylie, and communication to families***.We were lied to about the transition from 4 to Advanced Pre-K (who the teacher would be, that there would be an actual classroom when in fact they were put in noisy, open air bullpen, for 2 weeks we would show up and no one knew where the kids would be that day). After escalting to Stephanie at Corporate, Stephanie came to the school the day of my call and immediately resolved EVERY issue. In addition, she met with and resolved the same concerns of 3 other parents. The children were put into a classroom as promised, the correct teach was put in place and the Director apologized. Since then things have been communicated to parents immediately and truthfully. It was an very unfortunate experience, BUT I saw immediate action and accountability.

Appalled at my drop in visit. Granted I came to tour on a day there was a fire drill. What I observed was a true test of how this facility treats the infants. I waited outside for the fire drill to occur thanks to the warning of the staff. Saw a staff member drop a clip board onto the head of an infant being pushed in a crib, then another staff member began to push her crib of several infants so fast that two feel over hitting heads. Laughter was the reaction! Let this stand as a warning to any parent of a baby this young. . I was parked outside of the infant and 1 year old rooms. The one year olds were calmly walked out, but at a ration of 16 to 2 staff members.

We have been taking our daughter to CLA for 3 months now and from the moment we walked through the doors, we knew this was the place for her! Every morning we walk in, we are greeted with friendly smiles and everyone so cheerful! Our daughter is in the infant room and we could not be more pleased with her teachers! She has learned so much in her short time there and they truly care about every child there! Look no further, CLA will put your mind at ease that your child/children are in the best possible hands while they are not with you!

I decided that today must be the day to write this review since my 4 yrs old daughter woke up with a smile this morning and yelled Yay! I wanna go to school and have fun! and whenever I ask my 2 yrs old son do you want to go see your teachers? He smiles back, nods, and says YES!Cant ask for a better reaction!Were new to the school, and transitions are always hard but the fantastically friendly, warm-hearted staff at CLA surely do make you feel like youre at home and its like we were always here.I personally would like to thank Director Manager Kylee, Saphire, Angela, Jamie, Kali and Jackie. You always made feel welcome to stay and be with my kids, for always checking on them and reassuring me theyre doing well, updating me on their situation and keeping me in the loop! Thank you for always listening to me and to my concerns and for your understanding.Also my kids teachers: Ms. Maggie, Ms. Cece, Ms. Devin and Ms. Nevena. I thank you for everything you do. I couldnt be happier that my kids spend their day with you. Thank you for putting in the effort to make my kids feel welcome, comfortable, special and loved. Youre wonderful people and terrific teachers! Im very proud to call you 2nd moms for my kids!In addition to the remarkable staff, CLA has a great curriculum. My kids are learning so much. Everyday theres an addition to their knowledge including Math, Science, Art, Spanish and Sign language.As a whole, you guys are amazing, you make an awesome team, and I love you all! Seriously!Thank you again.- Happy and Proud Mama

Im very happy with my experience and the quality education my son is receiving at CLA. He has been enrolled here for a year and we couldnt wait until this school opened! Ill compliment the quality of teachers they have as well as the structured curriculum. Its an added perk they have hands down the best playground/outdoor area Ive seen in the entire state and Ive viewed a lot of schools/daycares. If I ever feel like my opinion isnt being heard, I send a personal note to the Director or have a conversation with his teacher. I feel apart of this community and CLA has become part of our family. Its difficult being a single Mom and entrusting your young child at a place for 8-9 hours a day, its nice to know there are caring staff who give my son a lot of attention when I cant be there. Thank you CLA for providing a warm, comforting environment for us.

I love Children’s learning adventure. They have an amazing educational system of nurturing teachers. since my son started to attend CLA he has progressed leaps and bounds in a matter of months. His social interactions have improved and his teachers seriously care about his wellbeing and educational progression. The usual drop off of tears and clinginess were replaced with hugs, high fives and see you later mom! We are very happy to have enrolled him in such an amazing school. Thank you CLA for all you have done for us!

My toddler and preschooler both attended CLA. They have been healthier than in previous daycares (I think because its so clean!) The facility is fantastic but I am most delighted with the caring teachers who sincerely love and nurture my kids. My preschooler even talks about his teachers on the weekends. He has been in 5 different daycares and we are most pleased with the total package of care at CLA. Highly recomend...

It is my pleasure to say that I am a current employee of the Childrens Learning Adventure at the Scottsdale location. This is my second summer with the company, only because I am a full-time student during the school year. Working at CLA has brought some great memories in the past two summers. The staff I work with is fantastic. They do a great job of making this a great place for your kids to be.I work in the schoolage summer program. The two programs I have worked in have been great. Im not the only one to see this. Parents constantly tell me how happy the are with the summer program. It always seems as if none of the children want to leave when their parents coming to pick them up. I enjoy working for CLA. I want to thank the management for the great communication and being able to work around my schedule. All is definately appreciated. To the management and staff at CLA in Scottsdale...KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!

Childrens Learning Adventure has been part of my family since 2008. I am both parent and employee of CLA. My two children started the voyager (2 year olds) program in Laveen and are now school-agers at Scottsdale. We call CLA Our Other Home. Its a comfortable, nurturing place where everyone knows our name. The program developed my kids to become successful learners going into Elementary school. They were able to socialize, focus and because CLA has Specialty rooms, they knew how to prepare themselves for transitions to the library and gym class. It is evident that CLA has created a true program based on brain development and taught my children how to become critical thinkers. The Director Stephanie has been consistent on providing quality service though out the years. I am very satisfied with my choice to raise my children with CLA and be part of the staff.
