I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The cleanest place I’ve been in. Awesome staff and overall great program. My kids love it! I’m blown away by how much my kids have learned while being there.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My child has been at CLELA since she was 2 years old. She absolutely loves it here. She has blossomed before my eyes and I continue to be amazed at how much she is learning. I would highly recommend this daycare and can't say enough positive things about it.

They are the worst. The Director Jessica made things uncomfortable. The owners have continued to lie and I know they have lied to the employees. So glad I took my child out.
