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.
We love this place! Awesome owners and staff!
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.
