One day my child had a full on crying, screaming, clutching me meltdown after seeing a particular…read moreteacher in her class. We had already started having good drop offs with no crying for a few days before this, so I decided to stick around till she settled down. She was crying so hard she was making herself gag and that's when I overheard teacher tell my toddler that if she didn't "stop that crying you can go into the other room and cry by yourself" AFTER having yelled at her and another younger child "ENOUGH" "STOP CRYING" several times. The kicker? She was teaching the kids to recite the "Our Father" during this time (which btw she had no business doing without a parents permission). At no point in time did I sign agreeing to my child being taught prayers at a non religion based daycare. I wasn't offended since we are Catholic as well but they still have no business pushing religion on any child without a parents permission. My child came home on various occasions saying a teacher had grabbed her really hard and hurt her but I mistakenly blew it off. I picked her up once soaked in urine after having an accident that no one was aware of. They stopped sending pictures on the second week of her attending and blamed it on a glitch in the system that again, they hadn't notified the parents of. Sent me a report of what my child ate on a day my child didn't even attend, leading me to wonder if the previous meal reports were even true. I never even had the opportunity to meet my child's teacher before we started, even after I asked to meet her. After emailing them letting them know what had occurred I received NO RESPONSE. No apology, no concern or wanting to know what happened, nothing. Some of the staff were really sweet and we appreciated that at least they have a few people looking out for those kids but I couldn't stand the thought of my child being treated this way especially it being her first time at a "school".

Literally on her 3 day of being there I seen her bracelet was gone after I picked her up. I asked to look at the cameras again and they said no which we have access on our phone to look at the live Camaras. I talked to the owner and he let me see it and it showed my baby went in the diaper room and when she came out she didn't had her bracelet anymore. The teacher there kept playing it off that my baby was playing by a near by trash cans when I just seen my baby the door. Then they try blaming it on the janitor that they threw it away by accident. They try to give me next week half off but yet they didn't care about her. On her 2 week of going there to the day care I understand my kid didn't wanted to share chairs but this kid has no reason to bite my baby. I picked my baby up and had a bite mark and they never called to make an incident report. They stated that my baby didn't cry which I believe it was a LIE as well because my baby had that bite mark for 4 days in a row there no way my kid was just standing there looking stupid with out saying anything and letting a kid bite her that hard. After I talked to the owner he said something to them but yet the next day THEY were trying sit her away from ALL THE LITTLE KIDS and I kept looking at the live Camara and called it in they said supposedly she was hitting kids which she doesn't do that, she pats them that's her way of letting kids know she's talking to them because she doesn't know their name or can't even say it. They lady said "so you want me to call every 15 min" I had told her my schedule was flexible and if there was ANY ISSUES TO CALL ME and they never did I kept looking at the camaras and my baby was just standing up and sitting repeating but not hitting any kids. Not just that but I can keep going on about her dippers/wipes and her food as well. After I called in to drop her out of her class because she's never coming back they kept trying to charge me 265 every week which kept adding up to estimating 1,180 which I didn't pay because she didn't kept going, I should of really filed a police report for all of this but I was being too nice and gave too many chances..... like I mention DONT TAKE YOUR KIDS HERE

I have two boys, 2 and 4, and could not be happier with how well they are taken care of. Ms.Elva is my two years olds besty and is such a great teacher to all those little 2s. She takes time and give so much love and attention that he sprints to her room every morning. The kinder crew (Kenzie, Cortlyn, and Cindy)are amazing. They spend so much time planning fun activities for the kids and my four year old sometimes tells me he'd rather be at school than with me (ouch lol). The admin team also deserves a shout out. Deena is bar none the best person Ive ever dealt with in a daycare setting. Professional and sweet and always ready to help. They have so much going for them that I can't possibly fit it in on here, but suffice to say, I will alway recommend them for their team of amazing people and the love they show to our kids. Thank you guys for being the village we need.

My daughter recently started pre-k here and she LOVES IT!!!!…read more Let me tell you more about my daughter so you understand why this is such a big deal: My daughter is very very very clingy to me. I guess you could call her my little "Velcro" baby. She doesn't do well meeting people for the first time as she is a bit shy... at first. As soon as we walk into the facility she was greated with this huge mural of the sea and colorful fishes, she was impressed!!!! "Wow mommy!! Look at the fishy!!!!" Very welcoming impression for her. My husband and I walk her to her class , once she walks in a teacher dancing with the other children in the back walks to the front and greats my daughter. She quickly took her back back off and joined the rest of the kids!!!!! She didn't even say goodbye to us!! Rember, she's my Velcro baby, this is unusual of her.

I've been an employee at Children's Learning Adventure for the past 3 years and was absolutely…read moreheartbroken to say my goodbyes just yesterday as my family and I prepare to move to California. Now that I am no longer an employee I feel as though I can leave my records of experiences with an open mind. A little about myself and my past experiences - I've worked with children for 14 years, and due to my husbands military career I've had experiences in multiple states with all age groups and in all positions. I came to visit Texas 3 years ago in preparation for our upcoming move from Virginia. I was prepared to deliver my resume all over League City to find my perfect fit. My search didn't last long. I walked into CLA and was immediately impressed, the building is beautiful and oozed cleanliness, the front desk staff was friendly and welcoming and suddenly all my nerves disappeared. I filled out my application and interviewed with Assistant Director, D'Anne. The conversation flowed and she seemed to approve and I was able to meet with Director, Vanessa. She walked me through the school and was honest with me about where she felt their weaknesses were and what her expectations would be of me. The upfront honesty and willingness to look into herself and her school with such unbiased eyes was a welcome feeling. My mind was made up - CLA was to be my home away from home upon arriving to Texas. The curriculum is outstanding - different from anything I had seen before. The kids travel to a variety of enrichment classrooms throughout the day; in each room is a planned and prepped activity for the kiddos, so they are engaged and active throughout the day - even our preteens were happy to be there, and if you have one you know how mind blowing that is. They truly are like family within that building. It was unlike any experience I've ever had. My training was lengthy and thorough. The training management made sure I was well aware of not just CLA policies but all Texas State Minimums - and coming from another state I was so happy to have had that thorough of a training period. The overall feel of the building is a happy one. When you walk through the halls and peer into classrooms you see smiling kiddos, teachers on the floor or at the tables working with their students - learning is evident with just a quick stroll down the halls. Personally, I have grown in so many ways thanks to my time there. Vanessa is not just interested in seeing her school grow, but her team as well. She pushed me in ways I've never been pushed before and working with her has given me more motivation and determination then I've ever had before. Due to her motivational talks and high expectations I'm happy to say that this school has changed immensely since I started 3 years ago. If you don't believe me I encourage you to check it out for yourself - it really is amazing. I'm thrilled to have been a part of such an amazing place with such wonderful people but I can't wait to see what the future holds for these people. As for the recent negative reviews that have surfaced...all I ask is that you take the time to really think these claims through and before passing judgement visit the campus and ask yourself - would anyone really want a child to fall ill here or lose their life here? As a child care provider, and a decent human being I know it's the last thing that I ever want to happen. Should I ever return to Texas there is no doubt Vanessa will be getting a call from me. I hope this insider review will help you out.
