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.

Being a first time mom with a newborn, i carefully researched every childcare place in the area. The infant room has everything you can imagine to know your little one is safe. Owlet monitors for nap time was a huge plus! Not to mention the cameras you can view on their phone (because who doesnt want to watch their little on a screen all day lol). If you are looking for a childcare facility, i assure you this is the place!

I thought that Kiddie Academy would be really great for our child. The staff was friendly, the…read morefacilities are excellent, and the price seemed fair. We registered my daughter 8 months in advance of her enrollment date and I spoke with the staff several times throughout that period to discuss paperwork, confirming each time that we were still on for our scheduled enrollment date. Then out of no where they call us to say that they overbooked and we were being dropped. They couldn't guarantee us any enrollment date but just offered to let us wait another 12 months. I feel like this is an absolutely unacceptable business practice. We were essentially wait listed but led to believe we had a guaranteed spot. So we had no Plan B and were forced to look for another daycare last minute and had to accept the first one that had availability with such short notice.

There were a lot of overt religious symbols on display at this YMCA, scriptures on the wall, crosses and figurines. More than I've seen at other locations.

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.

Also, thanks for violating privacy laws. My daughter got exposed @ daycare. So like a good mom I take her to get tested after I received a letter stating that a teacher had been confirmed. Many employers do this weekly and biweekly so it should not have been an issue as my baby was asymptomatic. So I continue w my days as she showed no symptoms. She came back positive and the daycare said send a dr note of clearance which I did then they asked for proof of test and results which I gave, then tell me they dont want her coming back @ all ever. Because I did not tell them she got tested then said they dont believe they infected her Im beyond pissed. Theyre trying to say that she wasnt around the positive teacher long enough to have been exposed with an airborne virus that lingers and guess what the teacher still has her job. *Imagine if I was the other parents.. didnt care enough to get tested after the letter and ran around positive infecting people for weeks due to their negligence. So funny that taking the proper precautions on my end are being punished but not the daycare for not insisting everyone get tested or shutting down the whole facility As they should have

There should be a zero stars option I do not recommend this childcare facility. My experience is…read morepretty lengthy and I probably won't be able to put everything on here .I'm very particular about where my child would be receiving care and did research had tours of childcare centers in the area. We chose this one as it was new and the classroom for the 2 year old program had a smaller ratio of children compared to others among other things that seemed great on the outside. Registered and filled out all required paperwork turned in a week in advance that included an all about me page to inform the teachers of my child's likes/dislikes etc..Come start day MONDAY March 7, complete chaos from the time I tried to enter the building. Walked down to her room 5 go in and kids are just running around toys everywhere no organization just complete chaos! A kid had an area rug pulled up and was underneath it another had a large plastic table on its side and another kid was laying on top of a play kitchen set. I also observed a pen and pencil in hands reach on the table with an iPad that was all next to the little sink the kids use. I then ask if my child has a cubby for all her things as this was her first day they should have been prepared for her first day and had a cubby the teacher ms Cynthia or Cindy came over and says no we don't so she just takes the bag of diapers and wipes her nap mat I have and shoves them in a cubby she finally introduces her self and the other teacher ms deserea and then asks me if there is anything they need to know about my child! I filled out a full front and back page telling them all about my child! They had no clue she was starting or who she was! I proceed back up to the front after leaving my child I should have just left right then! I tell the lady at the front what I just experienced and her answer was "It must be the weather " . What an excuse. I get on the camera app and see kids running all around I don't see any teachers paying attention or interacting with the kids still just chaos. The lady up front goes in the room I can see her getting the kids to sit at the tables they get shaving cream out and the kids are all smearing it all over the tables and themselves this is mens shaving cream( my child smells of it when I picked her up I know ) so now my child goes up to one teacher looks as if she is upset she doesn't like it on her hands that teacher just blew her off so she walks over to the other teacher and she picks her up under both arms and swings her over to the chair plops her in it and pushes it up to the table! I'm watching this all unfold on camera so I'm pissed . I go right back in ask to talk to the director Ms Monica just explained everything that happened and all I could get was I'm sorry ! Totally unacceptable no one will treat my child like that ! Also you can only login a certain amount of times before it tells you you can't log back in til the next day for camera access! No one told me that on the tour! I took my child out this all happened in just an hour I can only imagine what else goes on all damn day ! I can't get in touch with the owners either no number for Kayla or Michael Dority to inform them what's going on at their childcare facility. The staff needs to go through more training of how to comfort and direct a child that's upset . My child has never been in childcare she has been home with me for 2 years. She was so happy and excited to start and play with other kids and this experience completely ruined it for her! So if you are the owners and reading this how about you reach out and call me! Ask your director ms Monica about my experience. Actually Kayla you called me from the childcare center the week before we started so I have spoken to you before .

I went…read moreto multiple other daycare and early learning centers with lists of questions (my sister has been an early educator for years and gave me a lot of tips and state regulations to watch for). This is the only place we toured that made us feel comfortable and that our kiddos took well to immediately. I was a stay-at-home mom for two years, so, I was really worried about the transition for my children as well as myself; but all the staff -- Director and Owner's of this location included, were so welcoming and accommodated all of our needs. Since starting, my kids have flourished! Their social skills are great, they learn so much on a regular basis and love the teachers and staff. They get to participate in sensory learning activities where my kids can be kids and are still learning, plus other things like "Fun Fridays" keep things exciting and different. I can't say enough great things about this place! I truly see how much my kids enjoy it and how much the staff reciprocates that back. Other places were pushy and made my kids seem more like a check than something to be cherished. Another thing to note; I can check in/out on my phone in the app but I also get regular updates about my boys (pictures, what they eat/drink, if they need more items like diapers or wipes) so that is really nice and there is another app too peek in and see how they are doing if I feel the need.
