The owner and staff of Creative Learning Academy are amazing! Each class I visited on my tour from infant to preschool were clean and organized. With staff being attentive and engaged with children. Each staff member I encountered was kind and help with any questions I had. The information provided to me about the school and its operations was clear and detailed. The complete tour and information session was presented in such a way it was easy to see the care and love that has been placed in each area of the business to make sure all feel love and cared for.

We loved our time at creative learning academy. Our daughter went here for about a year (age 4 months to 14 months), and the only reason we switched was because a daycare much closer to us opened up. They were incredibly responsive and we knew how much she was loved and well taken care of. We enthusiastically recommend it to anyone looking for a great place. Special shout out to Miss Akram (her first teacher) and Emma (administrator) who were fantastic.

So grateful for my daughter’s experience at CLA. She has been attending since she was an infant and loves going to see her teachers and friends every day. They have been so kind and helpful as she has gotten older with milestones from teaching fine motor skills to potty training. If you are looking for a care center that truly cares about their kids and the community, this is the place to enroll your child.

Our experience at CLA has been amazing. My child loves it here. Every single one of the staff members is so caring and attentive. They clearly put effort into bonding with each child individually and foster such a safe and caring environment. The outdoor space is awesome and all the activities are so fun.
