Children's Learning Adventure

My daughter went there from age 2-5. Teachers turn around was a revolving door. They couldn't keep the good experienced teachers so eventually teachers assistants (19 year olds with no degree or experience) suddenly became lead teachers.
We are easy going parents but we ended up meeting with the director every week about something.
At the time we couldn't switch places because of work constraints but as soon as we could we left.

So my family and I started last year in March. Started half days just so he could get used to not being with family. The management at that time of course the more he comes the better the transition. Just very pushy. I also explained he is a little high-maintenance because he was battling eczema. They, of course, all he will be fine and we will help him. I got calls every day that he is having this or that issue. His teachers at the time were Ms. Maria and Ms. Tanisha. They loved and helped him the best they could with the transition and with his eczema flares. Shortly after they got new management and I thought ok great maybe things will turn around. Some things did and some didn't. Then mid-October there was another management change and ever since then, everything has been amazing. My son is thriving and got into the correct class for his age. Is challenged every day with new activities. He still loves his first teacher Ms. Tanisha of course but, he had to move up Ms. Kia is great as well and he loves going to her class. She keeps upbeat fun and still learns something new every day. Ms. Tanisha pops in and says hi every chance she gets he is happy to see her. I love that the teachers love the kids just like they are their own. This place is worth it and I am very glad we stuck it out and stayed.

All parents and grandparents that are looking for excellent childcare services this is the center for you and your family. I had the absolute pleasure of working with Khadjah in enrollment for my granddaughter who loves her teachers and all the learning activities.

My kids have never attended such an enriched and organized summer camp. They are always coming home talking about their experiences in such a positive light. The staff is SO welcoming and friendly. I cant imagine sending my children anywhere els!

We absolute love CLA! The teachers are so warm, the administration is phenomenal, and the atmosphere is so fun. Mrs. Maria is the sweetest! Our son has hard time leaving us in the mornings, but he goes immediately to her with the biggest hug. He also is learning so quickly, and the school is very focused on programming. We love that the students get to switch classrooms throughout the day too. We cannot recommend CLA enough.

Don't Let The Appearance Fool You! | Very Concerning

I was debating to even write a review but when I did not receive a call back from the director about my concerns then I felt the need for someone to maybe find this helpful. The establishment itself looks amazing but it defeats the purpose when the staff is not pleasent and treats you like you are just another number. My wife and I did a tour with our 2 yr. old daughter a week prior and loved how everything looked. We were scheduled to start our daughter and on her first day the front staff had all these stipulations that was not discussed previously in our walk thru of the establishment. When we told them that we preferred that our daughter not to drink milk because it upsets her stomach. They stated that it was a STATE LAW and that we needed to have a doctors note stating that they could not serve her milk. It was her first day of class and we could not get a doctors note in that quick of a turn around. We thought they would compromise but they stated that they would serve her the milk but put it to the side and make sure she does not drink it, which we did not understand that logic. We never heard of a STATE LAW that stated your child had to have milk going against the parents wishes. They were very arrogant and condescending. The staff needs training on how to properly communicate with parents. We are entrusting your establishment to take care of our child and the staff is being snooty and uncaring. This was a red flag for us. We decided to leave to reevaluate our decision and in the meantime reach out to the Director whom never called us back to check on things or hear our concerns. The topping on the cake was they charged us a full week of service and our daughter never stepped foot in the classroom. There are a vast majority of daycares in the Milton, GA area that would gladly take your child in and treat like them like their own, this establishment is not the one that I would entrust my child to enroll in. As stated before they treat you like another number. If the staff does not change especially upfront then it will not last long no matter how Disney like the facility looks.

I am a teacher at the elementary school across the street from Children's Learning Adventure where my children collectively have been enrolled for three years now. Currently, I have two of my three kiddos at CLA; my 5 month old son and my 4 year old daughter. My oldest son is now in middle school but he used to attend the aftercare program. We had seen a turnover in staff, management, protocols, and activity changes/closures from Covid when we first enrolled and the difference between good staff and great staff. Shamia and her staff are literally the best I have ever encountered in the many daycares we could never call our forever homes. I cannot say enough kind things about Shamia and her work ethic, attention to detail, and love for children. She is an amazing leader and has made CLA feel like an extended home. She knows the kids and their families, leaves snacks out for them when they leave, greets them by their names, and addresses parent questions/concerns quickly. She really knows her staff well and her staff speaks highly of her to others; also saying she is a great listener and leader. We honestly look at the staff as family. I don't ever worry about my children when I drop them off because I know they are cared for and most importantly LOVED. Khadjah, Shelby, and Pam also know my children so well. I love watching them greet kiddos by their names every morning and afternoon as well. They have a way of making all of them feel special. They too communicate often; calling to update records, make sure we're satisfied with the care we're receiving, or even to share a positive moment about the day. We don't have just one "go to" person when we have questions or even concerns. Pam, Khadjah, Shelby, Kristen, and Ammar are all knowledgeable, understanding, easy people to talk to. Pam has watched my children grow up for the last few years and is always there to help!

Khadija and Tanesha in my son's infant room as well as my daughter's teacher in the PreK program, Ms. Teresa have worked so hard this year in fostering their growth, teaching, and learning. Leaving my son at just 7 weeks old had been really tough. However, this team has been the most professional and empathetic throughout this process and I am truly grateful for them. I don't know how we got here so fast but my little guy is five months now. He is always so happy when I drop him off and pick him up. I love the finger and feet paintings that Khadija and Tanesha do with the littles and I always look forward to them for keepsakes.

Ms. Teresa, the Pre K teacher. She is a phenomenal educator and I have seen so much improvement in my daughter's academics and social/emotional growth. Ms. Teresa takes time to develop plans that meet the needs of all her students in all areas. She impresses me every time I pick up my daughter in terms of her lessons and her patience! She is nurturing, fair, firm, consistent, and goes above and beyond. My daughter pretends she's Ms. T when she's home playing "small groups" and cries when she is kept home because of sickness. Those things fill my bucket and just goes to show that my daughter is in the right place with the right teacher.

My daughter is usually in the care of Mr. Tito and Miss Cha'Tarra afterschool. She adores them and they are always fully engaged with kids; playing games and making crafts with them. I love how they sit at the tables and are engaged with the kiddos, never just monitoring.

My son attended the summer camp program. The facility is a kids dream. I can only recommend the summer camp for being a fun place for kids. Unfortunately, there are no academic lessons taught during the summer. I was disappointed about that but cannot fault them because it was "summer camp".

It looks so cool on the outside and the inside looks really neat for the kids but unfortunately it was extremely disorganized and lacked leadership and communication. I've never heard so many excuses from a director. We never attended the actual programs offered so I can't speak on those as we declined after multiple issues prior to attending.

Don't be fooled by the Disney-like decor of the daycare. It belies how poorly managed this facility is as well as the unqualified & underpaid staff that rotates in and out. Employee retainment is definitely not their strong suit but neither is cleanliness, stimulating activities for toddlers, or enforcing their own rules/procedures. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. We regret going there.
