Children’s Learning Adventure

My kids love this place! There are amenities that no other daycare center has and their teachers are fantastic. When kids go to a new school they are going to get sick, that is just common sense. Their summer/​winter camp is also amazing. All three of my kids go here and we are very happy!

CLA I enrolled my son here on Oct 29, 2015 at first he was going two days out the week, i felt in order for him to get use t it he should go Five so we started him for five days. Today is Nov 16, 2015 and my son is sick already. He was enrolled in Voyager 2 Ms: Sonia and Ms; Marie are great with the kids and my son loves Ms: sonia. However what I did not like about CLA is they allow the kids to drink out the same cups they wash them supposedly, and they feed kids bologna really i’m paying $ 260 a week for you to have bologna on the menu, my child is very picking bologna seriously, no green vegetables on there menu all process food. secondly I do not like there policy as far as if your child is sick or absent you still have to pay ABSURD! besides that there learning program is amazing but they are in need of some serious changes there menu for staters and the policy for absences!.

I do agree with one of the other reviewer that this place is crowded and they move classroom around. No cubby or locker for my daughter. We sent our daughter here and she got really sick all 3 times we took her there. I am not talking about just a cold, I am talking about fever that we have to watch her to temperature because we might have to take her to emergency room. I don’t know what is causing it but my daughter has not been sick for years until she started pre-​k here. Meanwhile, Children Adventure Learning (CLA for short) is charging us like crazy. We spent over 1000.00 just to get my daughter sick and per their policy they will charge you even if your daughter can’t go to school because she is sick which is somehow cause by them anyway. I wasn’t happy to find out that if my kid or other kid is sick they will still let them go to school. They said as long as the kid doesn’t have fever, it’s ok. I am sure policy like this is causing my daughter to get really sick. And the place is always cold, but no one seem to give my daughter the jacket she has in her bag with her. I drop her off without her jacket because it’s usually the time she spent playing outside.

We have two children who attended to this facility now. My elder son is really like this school and he is in Pre K now with Mr. Lopaka and Miss Jaimie. Before he was with same teacher Mr. Lopaka and Miss Princetta. I want give a big thanks to Miss Princetta, to keep my son on really good education and good behavior. On the other hand Mr. Lopaka was such a caring teacher my son is so attached to.
So my daughter almost two years old and she had few hiccups when she is at the school. But miss Lori and miss Valerie who fixed that really fast. I wanted to thank miss Sonia and other teacher (I forgot the name). They all great people and the place is new and clean.

I love CLA!
It’s great for my daughter.
The after school program is amazing, we get the peace of mind that she is safe.
Customer service is great, everyone is super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.

My son is so happy here. He seems to be developing exponentially both socially and academically. He does a million activities and talks positively about his teachers when he is home. Not five stars because there has been a lot of employee turnover since he started, but if that’s the biggest complaint??? Everything is new and clean and he constantly engaged in an activity. Staff are well trained and equipped to immediately deal with problems. It’s been six months and he just started five days. Director Valerie is GREAT and will take time to personally address problems. Definitely recommended to other parents!

Tough to give a star rating because although my kids «seem» to like coming here, the facility is way over crowded. They have way too many kids enrolled in Pre-​K that they don’t have a permanent classroom for the overflow. I came over from their old location in summerlin which was smaller but a much more manageable facility & number of students for the staff. They are severely under staffed here & it’s obvious from the overworked/​stressed teachers. I would count to make sure their kid to teacher ratio meets minimum state standard, because it’s gotta be mighty close depending on the time/​day you drop in. They move kids & staff around like musical chairs to try & meet the MINIMUM ratios, and forget any daily report card paper work. It’s expensive compared to other daycares and my kid doesn’t have her own cubby like at the old location to store her extra clothes, etc. When I picked her up her stuff was on the floor in an open walk through area. I had to search in 4 different classrooms before I could find my kid, lucky they have glass walls I guess. Fancy facility, but don’t be fooled by all the bells and whistles. They make a lot of money and spend it all on the latest and greatest building and huge full-​color mailers but don’t spend where it counts; making sure they are sufficiently staffed and saying no to enrollment they clearly cannot accommodate. I brought my kid to this new location because she knows the other kids her age & some teachers but it’s not run as smoothly as their old summerlin location. No finger print entry, very easy to enter while another parent is being buzzed in. Been going for 3 weeks now and I still have no digital/​computer check-​in, just a sign in book. I left and no one was really watching who was coming in/​out. I feel like someone could easily walk off with a kid. So while the kids seem to have fun here, to me it’s not worth the money. Will be looking else where so she can actually learn something and not just play. 2 stars because she likes coming here and the old staff from summerlin location is nice. Minus 3 for over crowded facility, lack of child security/​monitoring and lack of actual learning.

So proud of being a part of something as great as CLA… there’s nothing more rewarding than making a difference in a child’s life.

My daughter transferred from the Ann rd location to the Durango location for convenience purposes for my husband and I. The people working at both places were amazing with the transfer and even the District Manager is so hands on, caring and 100% customer service oriented, it’s unbelievable for a chaine daycare. I think this place should be called the Sheraton of daycare!!! Jeez!!! I wish I could spend all day in a luxurious place like this. My daughter loooves it!!! When we wake her up in the morning for school, she is actually excited to go!!! The most unbelievable thing is the price for all these amenities!!! The outside can discourage whoever would want to take their child there because it looks so good, but trust me, go check it out, these rates are given!!! I just love it!!! Excellent concept of daycare. I’d give it a 6^th star if I could.

This school is state of the art design. My son is so happy to go there and he has so many things to do. End of the day he is so tired and we barely give him a wash to put him sleep. His teachers are wonderful Miss Prinsetta and Mr. Lupaka is really care about the kids and they know what kids want. Specially my son always talk about them and I know he is on safe hands. Also the director miss Valerie is such nice and kind person make the place more comfortable.

When I walked in to the classroom to pick up my son at the end of his first day, he ran up to me and said «I had so much fun today, Mommy!»
There is a camera in every room, at all the doors, and on the playground. There is a main wall at the entrance with several TV screens showing all the live camera feeds for you to watch. I was able to secretly watch my son for a few minutes after I left his classroom which reassured me he was happy after I dropped him off.
You get a piece of paper at pick-​up everyday which clearly states which special interest rooms they went to, which book the teacher read, and what they served for lunch. I love not having to pack him a lunch in the morning!
Every classroom has one (ceiling to floor) glass wall that faces the hallway. This makes me feel that the staff will always be on their best behavior because parents and other staff are frequently walking by.
You have to be buzzed in at the entrance and sign your child in, then sign the child out at the end of the day as well. There is a small bathroom in every classroom so the kids never have to leave the room to go potty.
Overall from what I have experienced, this facility seems safe, clean, educational, and fun. My son is especially fond of the pirate ship on the playground!
