I LOVE Children's Learning Adventure! We bring these wonderful babies into the world and as…read moreparents, all we ever want to do is ensure they are loved and cared for. When you work, you can only hope to find someone or someplace suitable in which your sweet child will be safe, advance and learn all about their surrounding world, and truly be loved and cared for by others.
After maternity leave, we started off with a nanny that we dearly loved. Due to some changes in her life, she moved on, and we decided to entertain the idea of our almost 2 year old going to daycare. Thank goodness for my strong, supportive, and encouraging husband, because this Mommy was resistant to sending our dear, sweet child to a daycare. Not that there is anything wrong with daycare, it's just all about finding one that will ease your Mommy (and Daddy) worries to allow you to make it through your work day without anxiety and fear of whether you've made the right choice.
Look no further! Well, okay. Do your due diligence as a parent by scoping out other daycares, but then turn around and go back to CLA.
CLA has been phenomenal with our 2 year old. The facility is always creatively decorated, clean, and safe. The wonderful people up front do a great job of monitoring and controlling entry. They know my daughter by name even though they aren't her teachers. They are always very friendly and personable.
As for her teachers, they are amazing and very caring towards all the kids in her class. I often pop in and watch the camera monitors up front to spot check on her, and everything I see matches the daily activity sheet they provide to us at the end of the day. I have also seen my daughter running and hugging her teacher, and her teacher returning the hug. She was not aware that I was spot checking on the cameras up front.
My daughter LOVES going to CLA.
She comes home and talks about her teachers, by name, and tells us they are so nice, or they did her hair today, or they danced today, painted, sang a song...whatever it is they may have done or taught her. She also talks about her friends in the class and I love that she is learning and building on social interactions with other kids.
We came to CLA at a time in which a new director was coming in. Her name is Joy. She is a delightful lady and is always approachable. I know that if I ever have a worry or an issue I can go to Joy and she will address it.
These wonderful people...it's their job to ensure my dear little is safe and is learning, but they really seem to take their job personally, and it shows in everything they do.
To Miss Bing, Crystal, Ashley, Frankie, Stephanie, Joy and all of the staff at CLA: Thank you for loving and caring for our daughter while we work. We would love nothing more than to always have our daughter with us, but you certainly come as close to loving parents in our absence as you can.
My recommendation to anyone reading this...go meet Joy and her staff, take a tour, and see what they have to offer. I'm super pleased with this daycare and I hope you'll give them the opportunity to show you how great they truly are.
All the best to you in your search for childcare!
