Great activities and opportunities for learning offered, not just a "daycare" set-up. I feel better knowing my child will be involved and interacted with and not sitting there bored all day. Might be pricey but it is located in Scottsdale and I feel it's worth the extra money for a more quality center! I just wish when the schools are out on break they didn't raise prices so much, because it is double to triple the cost for just a week then what we pay for the month! They do this for each break, so it's costly. When my daughter was sick and threw up one day, we didn't get a call and they didn't do anything for her, which was upsetting. The teachers seem good for the most part, they are involved and try to make sure the kids are comfortable, are attentive and watchful. No big issues or complaints so far.

CLA is the absolute best and has been our home for over 2 years! The dedicated teachers and outstanding faculty create an enriching environment, fostering academic growth and personal development. Their commitment to excellence shines through, making it a top-notch educational institution for our children. We couldn’t be happier with our experience.

I can't speak highly enough of this institution. Everyone involved, the principal, teachers, administrative personnel are amazing, incredible people. The infrastructure is good, impeccable. They treat the children with respect and love. If there's ever an incident you'll be notified immediately. I've had an amazing experience with them for a year now.

We enrolled our daughter at CLA as an infant she's been there for years. We've had nothing but an amazing experience with CLA in Scottsdale and cannot recommend it highly enough! If you're looking for a safe, fun, and developmental environment to send your kids, CLA is it!

My children were enrolled at the CLA in Scottsdale for 9 months which I feel is long enough to develop an opinion. I hope this information helps another family considering. Firstly, I expect a somewhat elevated turnover rate in this type of industry but it was significantly higher here. I loss count of the number of staff who came and left after a while. The school is aesthetically pleasing but it stops there. During the tour the perception is that the special rooms are used often but they aren't. The security is one of the biggest issues for me. They "buzz" you in whereas many other centers have modern security including keypads/fingerprint systems for signing in/out. Many daycare centers use Brightwheel or similar apps to cut down on paper waste and send updates/pictures of your children throughout the day. This facility does not. Because the center has over 200 students my children stayed sick. This along with several other factors ultimately played a factor in me removing my children. Hope this helps.

We have been extremely happy with CLA (both of our kids attend). The staff is caring, attentive, and responsive to both our kids and my wife and I alike. We have had all great experiences with both the classroom staff and administrative group. The people that work their feel like family. They do a great job helping the kids to develop intellectually, which my wife and I can see when our kids and others from CLA spend time with kids from different daycares/schools. The education here, we believe, is very well planned and administered. Additionally, the facility is always kept up well and clean. We are very happy to have found this group.

We can't say enough good things about CLA. Our Daughter started going there when she was 17 months old, and is now 4.The staff there is absolutely wonderful, from Antoinette the Director, to Ms. Crystal who prepares the food for the kids.We haven't had many complaints, and any small issues that we've had were resolved immediately and we appreciate the open door policy they have.Our Daughter loves her school and everyone who works there. She comes on talking about Michelle,and her teacher Ms Lisa. She looks forward to the Annual Fall Fest thrown each year and was really excited to participate in the Annual Car Box Show last year.We've found the parents there pleasant as well.Obviously, we recommend Scottsdale Children's Learning Adventure.

Fun place. Great activities. Too many kids. My almost 4 year old son was wetting his pants more than one a week. Not enough supervision. I got a call from work one day that he didn't have a change of clothes. I was sure he had some. I left work mid day, went home, got clothes, just to find his clothes in his bag. The teacher simply said, "oh! We were in a different room. I didn't look there". My son sat in wet pants for over an hour. A few other things, but that was the last straw.Super nice staff, but his teacher was terrible.

CLA is the most amazing place! The inside is big and bright! Tons of windows and glass walls all connecting to the center walkway! It’s so clean and always playing great music, yet calming! Awesome age separated playgrounds. So many fun events. The staff seem like they actually want to work there! Megan was always exceptional =) My son loved his teachers (especially Ms Tarrie) and friends! We moved out of state back home and CLA is the ONLY thing we miss (even though we enjoyed AZ)! Thanks for everything CLA!

Children's learning adventure has been an amazing start to our sons educational journey. He has grown and learned so much over the last two years and that is all thanks to the social interactions and the amazing teachers he had while there. Ms. Tiffany and Ms. Tarrie chief among them. Both of these amazing women truly loved being with our son and taught him so much. He wil not forget you. From animals, colors, letters, and numbers to the ocean, space and camping. There was no shortage of fun and exciting topics to learn about each day. They also set up fun activities like the color run and donuts with dad as well as little celebrations of the various holidays throughout the year. He also made his first friends here. Friends we will stay in contact with. The entire staff is very friendly and inviting. I wouldve given 4.5 stars if possible. The only down sides being how expensive it is and the fact that our son had 5 different teachers over the course of the last 2 years. Overall we loved our time at CLA and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality daycare/early childhood education center. Thank you CLA!

We love children's learning adventure!! We came over from a different school and quicky saw the massive improvement in our son's life. He is so happy there with the incredible staff and amazing atmosphere. Every teacher there makes him feel incredibly welcomed and loved! We wouldn't want to be anywhere else!

Everybody working here is super friendly and helpful with any questions. The classrooms are big and bright with giant windows all around. Everything is spacious and so clean and orderly. The playgrounds are awesome with lots od equipment and there are multiple playgrounds with different equipment. I even love the music they play all day in the background because it's more modern and fun. I feel confident when I drop my daughter off on my way to work because I know she is safe, happy, and thriving here.

This is such an amazing place to bring your child. Our son is 2 years old and every single teacher, parent and child is so happy and the energy and education your child receives while they are here is top tier! I highly recommend bringing your child here. I love the staff and all of the teachers! Thank you so much CLA Scottsdale!

I’ve had both my kiddos go here for the entirety of their preschool time. My daughter six years ago up to my son who is going into kindergarten now. My daughter is at the top of her 1st grade class. My son was able to test into kindergarten nearly a year ahead.Having my kiddos attend here was one of the wife’s and mine best decision with them. They have become a major part of the family’s life, and we will miss seeing the staff. The staff loves our little ones and we all love them.You’d be hard pressed to find a better place for your kiddos.

My son loved coming here. I can tell he was cared for and loved by his teachers, Ms. Hannah and Ms. Chauney. The space itself is beautiful, big and full of light with the large windows everywhere. It doesn’t feel like a stuffy daycare at all. It’s cool to have separate rooms for different actives (music, gym, art, reading, etc.) to get the kids out of the same room the entire day. The staff was kind and flexible with my work schedule. While we have since moved, my son still talks about his teachers here.
