Creme de la Creme

Amazing place with fantastic teachers! I have two children who attend CLA, one is 5 and the other is 6 months. This is our second year with CLA and my daughter just loves going to "school". Her teachers, Ms. Leah and Ms. Belinda have brought her so far from where she was just a year and half ago. She is now reading and spelling out her words. Her handwriting is incredibly impressive and she is so expressive in many ways and it comes out in her art daily. She has a passion for learning and these women have helped encourage her so much in it!
Our son is in the infant room and started with Ms. Mickey at just 6 weeks old. The moment I left him in Mickey's care I just knew he was in very caring hands. I cannot rave enough about the love and care that Ms. Mickey and her team of ladies show these babies. So many cuddles and individual hands on care for each child. They pay such detail to each child's personal development that it really shows. I will warn you, your child will be spoiled with love! If you are looking for a place that your child will be challenged, cared for as an individual and not just another child on roster, then this is your place!

I cannot say enough about Children's Learning Adventure. I was new to the area and have three young boys, the youngest two of who were 3 and were more than a handful. Everyday I was gone from the children I missed them immensely. It was the best feeling knowing how well they were taken care of. The staff and teachers treat my children as if they are their own children. Not only that, but they contact me if anything happens. Every time I walk in they are beyond kind and welcoming. They were not only a family to my children, but to me as well. On top of the personal, their programs and curriculum were amazing. My youngest have delays and issues with speech. They made incredible strides outside of therapy. The teachers worked on pronouncing syllables and dividing words in syllables, clapping them out, taught them cooking, Spanish, math, science and science lab, PE, reading, community awareness, art, and even intro engineering. They work with each child individually, are well staffed, and update me everyday for each child. For my older son their after-school and before school care was catered specifically to him. For each child they ask the parent if they prefer homework directly after school, or a break before homework. They promote play, cooking, teamwork, and are open days that the schools are not for the older children. On top of this, the children of course love the bowling, outdoor soccer field and basketball court, indoor basketball court, and playgrounds, stations and centers area, and game room.

From a mom's side, especially a single mother, it is the best feeling going to a place which is supportive, has an atmosphere of total understanding that my children are of utmost importance, but work is very important as well. There is an attitude of helping, and wanting to help every family and understanding the stress of managing life. I have been elsewhere where the feeling is, we are closed these days (and it is a lot), and that is what you get. Here they want to help all that is in their sphere and which they can, and they foster an atmosphere of community and family.

We had our children at another local daycare for a number of years, but we felt they couldn't retain their experienced teachers or invest in modern technology. This resulted in a downward decline in quality so much so that our second child was learning far less than our first child had. We weren't sure what to do until Children's Learning Adventure opened up and we followed a great migration of families and teachers to this wonderful, new facility. While we don't have access to the cameras they have on site or a water park, They do have a variety of dedicated activity rooms such as a science room, a kitchen facility for students, a basketball court, a bowling alley, an art room, etc. They even have a dedicated teacher just for the science room. Its been nice to have our kids well taken care of these past several months with no turnover among their teachers. Its a stark contrast from our previous experience.

My girls just started attending this location last month, and I have been thrilled with the care they have been receiving. I will be the director at the new location opening this month, and so I was very nervous about having my daughters at the Cedar Park school for a short time. I should not have worried at all.

My younger daughter is in the infant classroom. Ms. Amber, Ms. Abigail and Ms. Cassie are just incredible. They take such great care of my baby, provide constant communication, and any time I have a request they address it immediately. I know that I am a pretty high-needs infant parent, but the teachers are always kind, welcoming and responsive. I love the one-on-one attention they provide the babies; I always see them holding, cuddling and talking with them.

My older daughter is in the two-year-old classroom. Her teachers, Ms. Monica and Ms. Ariel, are wonderful. My daughter struggles at times with separation anxiety, and Ms. Monica is so great with her in the mornings. Now she looks forward to going to school, and is sad to leave in the evenings. She talks about both Ms. Ariel and Ms. Monica at home. As a mom, I love the curriculum and the fact that my daughter gets to visit the library, the gym and the garden in addition to the playground.

Liz, the director, is very approachable, and any time I have had even a slight concern she has addressed it immediately. I'm so happy that my girls are here.
