Children’s Learning Adventure

I wouldn’t recommend this place simply for the fact that the people who work the front desk are rude. The only personable person that works the front office is the director.
I also feel they discriminate against minority parents. The girls at the front desk go out their way to speak to and engage with non minority parents. I’ve actually spoken with another parent who felt the same way, so I’m glad I’m not the only person who feels this way. It’s as if the non minority parents need to be treated extra special. I like to be informed of upcoming specials and events or just basic information that’s going on within the school.
Majority of the teachers I’ve had dealings with seem to be nice, and attentive to parent and child needs. There was one teacher in the pre school room who’s attitude is terrible and I guess they expect everyone to just accept how she is.
I have chosen another school for my child that less deficiencies. I’ve decided to come back and edit my post and downgrade my star to one star. They allow their employees like maranda to post as if they are a customer.

We had to pick up our granddaughter Lexi for a couple of nights while our son worked and the daughter in law out of town on business. We had never been there before but were told of the procedure. We got there and were helped out by the front desk staff. They showed us how to sign her out and showed us where the room was. I was surprised but pleased to see the safety precautions in place in addition to the disposable booties to go into the one year old room so your shoe dirt doesn’t get in there. They give a really nice report of what the girl did for the day, what she ate and when she napped. That was something I really would have enjoyed when my kids were going to daycare. The room assistants help you pack up and give you what came in with them and needs to go home. Very clean and they staff were great in both visits. These grandparents are pleased Lexi us in good care.

Feels like family which is rare in a large school. My daughter started when she was 1 and is now 4. I love her Pre-​k teacher, she is awesome and really takes the time to help my daughter understand the curriculum. She loves going to school everyday and that is very important to me. I would definitely reccomend checking it out!

Outstanding staff and childcare. My daughter is 4 years old and loves going to school every day. Staff is friendly, the teachers are involved and their learning program is excellent. Almost every day my daughter comes home teaching me new things that she has learned and it has been impressive to say the least. Thumbs up for CLA Laveen!

DONT EVER SEND YOUR CHILD HERE! I don’t have any personal experience with the place BUT while on my way to the store, I was driving north on 55^th ave (the street right by the school) and saw a child running across the street to get a ball and run back to the school. I usually speed which is the case with a lot of people in this area. It’s a good thing I wasn’t speeding at the time or it was not another person who was texting and driving! I had to hit my breaks or else I would’ve hit the child! This place is completely irresponsible. The play area is gated so it had to be a staff member to let the child out instead of walking their lazy ass across the street to get it their self! I called the place and yelled at the lady who answered and then called the police! Parents pay for this place thinking their children will be safe, think again!

My daughter has been going there for a few years now since we moved here. The director and staff have been flexible and helpful. She participates in the before and after school program so and enjoys the interaction with the other kids and the fun activities they have for the kids. Ms. Tasha is great with her and she genuinely cares about the kids.

I can’t say enough good things about the progress my daughter has made at this school! Coming from a home daycare, it was very scary to start her in a large school like this. The staff and teachers made it very easy to feel right at home and after the first few weeks everyone was greeting us by first name, even teachers that weren’t in her class! The first day pictures I received truly got me through the day and each day she comes home so excited to tell me about what she has learned! I would definitely recommend this school if you are searching for a great place for your child !

We moved to this daycare for my son shortly after a terrible experience with Tutor Time on 75^th and Lower Buckeye. Our experience at Tutor Time was one of a complete lack of contact and oversight of the children in their care — teachers were on their phones texting while they were supposed to be looking after children, sticking kids in front of movies, it was awful. The experience we’ve had so far at Children’s Learning Adventure could not be more opposite.
Each morning, I’m greeted with a friendly little conversation, and every evening I get details about how our son’s day was, as well as a conversation with his teacher in the classroom to talk about what is going on. He gets to visit different rooms throughout the building — which by the way is super clean, well appointed, and well taken care of. He’s already showing progress with his vocabulary and speech, rather than regressing to babble and crying (as he was at Tutor Time). To support that, he actually gets assigned weekly homework that my wife and I complete with him at home — fantastic practice for school, and a great way to ease him into it.
Rather than being scared to get dropped off, my son is excited to go to daycare every day, because of all the cool things he gets to do. I couldn’t be happier.

Each time I have attempted to enroll my child here I have had a bad experience. The first time is when I had signed up on the waiting list for the scholarship. I waited for MONTHS, I called to check in at least once a month. It was not until I call on the 5^th month that they tell me I needed to pay a $ 100 holding fee, which of nobody notified me, it just seemed to like a way to get money out of me! After, I came back the lady that I spoke to said I could enroll my child without the scholarship for a reduced tuition and then we would revise in a few months. I call back a couple of weeks and she retracted everything. Very unprofessional! If the staff is not professional enough to be honest with me, and seems like all they care about is the money, why would I feel safe to leave my child here?! Never coming back and will be advising friends and family against this place.

Worse day care ever! My son attended there for a couple months and he hated it. He was always scared to stay there. One day I picked him up and a chunk of his hair was cut off. The teacher did not even know about it. I pulled him out right away. I spoke with the head of the place and she acted like she didn’t care. I put him in a better school and had never seen him to be happy to go to school. I’d give it a 0 stars, but I guess 1 is the lowest.

WOW! I called just to ask some simple questions about the center, and I can’t believe how rudely I was treated! Whoever the woman on the phone was cut me off abruptly, answered the couple questions I did manage to ask curtly and with hostility. I’d NEVER take my kids to this place! If they talk this way to adults, I can only imagine how they treat the children!

First… I love CLA, director kisha an staff.
The director is so welcoming an makes any parent feel good about leaving their children at day care. the atmosphere is upbeat an full of fun an learning. You will see your child excel is many important milestones. They follow a great curriculum, and encourage parents to get involved. Parents are always welcome to stop by an check in through out the day. there are times I will just stay for a while when droping off or picking up my child. I cant bare to take her away from all the fun activities they do.
The staff takes the time to get to know you an your child. I love when I walk in an im greeted by name. they build relationships, so your just not a face. I can highly recommend CLA to any parent needing Great, honest, child care in Laveen Az. theres nothing like the feeling of «knowing your precious little ones» will be taken care of by people who do care. Thanks CLA for all your team does making our little ones first years special when mommies an daddies cant be there

My daughter attends CLA and I absolutely love it. The management and staff is friendly and the facility is gorgeous and clean. The teachers are also certified and cleared. Also, Early Childhood Education (ECE) was very important to me and my husband rather than just a daycare. CLA met our requirements for ECE and the staff works very well with the curriculum/​development. I also enjoy the meal plans they do for the children that (included in tuition). I would definitely recommend CLA to other parents!
