Our son started daycare at ECLA in January and due to a change in work circumstances, we will be moving him to a different daycare. I found this a very very difficult decision, as my son absolutely loves it at ECLA! From the moment he started, he has been welcomed with loving open arms, and he has enjoyed his time here so much. The teachers Ms Gulshan and owner Ms Adidi have such a loving and warm way with the children (but also firm, so a great balance); my son loves spending time with them. The teachers put their whole heart into being with the children and are always excited to see him. They are always engaged; singing, playing outside, crafting, dancing, getting kids excited for activities, listening to them. The environment at ECLA is very calm and supportive, there is a great energy at the school. I hope my son will like his new daycare as much as he does ECLA, it feels like tearing him away from his family. He has had a great start here and I will always be grateful for having found this wonderful place.

My daughter has been at ECLA for 2 years and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. Mrs. Adidi does a wonderful job of integrating learning and play in the curriculum. The kids are learning so much while also having a blast. All the teachers are caring, warm and loving. Our daughter will sometimes wake up on Saturday morning asking to go to school (we try to live up to the standards the school sets!). We’re always amazed at our daughter’s emotional intelligence she’s learned from her teachers - now she’s teaching us! I cannot wait to start my son at the school once he turns 2 this winter.
Logistically, the hours and location is great. The teachers are very good at updating the school app with lots of pictures and videos throughout the day.

We chose ECLA as our preschool for both of our kids. We have been a ECLA family for 3 years now. It is not closest preschool to our home but we don't mind driving a few extra miles to take our kids there.
Here are some of the top qualities about the school:
1) The teachers are very nice, loving and caring people. You can tell they really care about your kids.
2) The teacher turnover is almost nonexistent so we don't have to worry about our kids having new teachers all the time.
3) The facility is very secured. All the doors are locked at all times. This is one of the top reason we prefer ECLA over some other neighborhood preschools.
4) The school is very clean. We have been with the school since the COVID era. They take cleaning and healthy precautions seriously.
5) They are very flexible and really partner with parents. They are willing to work with my special needs kids, allowing additional support staff to be at school with my kids. I've had numerous individuals from schools/ABA come to observe or work with my children while there and ECLA so graciously accommodated all of my requests. They've also came through for me when I needed a few extra hours of child care on occasion. I'm so grateful!
6) Did I say the staff is amazing?
We will miss ECLA when our kids graduate from it. If you are considering preschool, I highly recommend you take a look at ECLA for yourself.

ECLA has been amazing for our 3-4yr old. She loves it there and wants to go everyday! Ms. Faith is the sweetest and the kids love her. But all the teachers and director help and do such a great job. Really appreciate this place thank you all!

ECLA is a wonderful preschool that both my children have attended. The teachers are warm, patient, kind, and engaged in making activities educational. The facility is clean, organized, and safe and has a range of books, crafts, and toys for the kids to enjoy. The weekly lesson plans are thoughtfully crafted and have really engaged my kid's love of learning.

Our daughter started ECLA in early 2021- right after the initial waves of the pandemic. So, she had some stranger anxiety since she was at home all the time during the pandemic. Ms. Gulshan was so loving and caring that the preschool transition for our daughter was a breeze. She stayed at ECLA until she started Elementary school and always kept surprising us with new learnings from all the teachers.

My daughter loved her preschool and looked forward to going daily. It was perfectly sized for covid and they followed all the covid protocols. It prepared her well socially for kindergarten and they have a theme based curriculum which incorporates art, learning about the world around us, dance and music along with some academics. My kid really blossomed here and enjoyed her time at school everyday. They also have special events and had a fantastic graduation for the 5 year olds heading to kindergarten. Highly recommend Ms. Adidi and the teaching team.

We love this school. My daughter joined when she was a few months shy of 4 after being at home with me for a year due to the pandemic. The one year at home despite an elder sibling and grandparents had taken a toll on my child. I was so worried about her reintroduction into any care setting. But Ecla was just what my child and family needed. They are loving, accommodating lovely teachers who truly get to know your child and make her feel listened to. My daughter blossomed in this setting. She is a confident, affectionate child. I love what this school has done for her. She and I will miss this place so much. Ms michelle, Ms Gulshan and Ms Adidi are fantastic teachers who have found their calling.

Our heartfelt thanks to the ECLA staff for making my daughter feel at home and become the confident little girl that she is. She couldn't have found better care anywhere else and we are really grateful for the kindness warmth and happiness she has found at ECLA. It was the ditto same experience for my son as well who is now thriving in Kindergarten, thanks to the strong foundation he built at ECLA. Can't say enough about how special the teachers are ...Ms Adidi, Ms Gulshan, Ms Michelle. They always give personalized attention to each kid and handle even the strong willed ones with compassion and empathy. They really lead by example thus imparting positive behavioral skills to the children. My kids also learnt a lot at ECLA in all aspects ...reading, writing, art, math, science and more. I would recommend ECLA to anyone in a heart beat!

I went to tour at the academy and met with Adidi the director. I was very impressed with the way the place is run, and was on board, sadly the commute is going to take a toll since it will end up being a bit of a drive back and forth but I still wanted to take the time to write this review. My observations were during the tour the place is very nurturing and 'inclusive'. It feels there are many kids that are in different levels and they all get embraced wonderfully ensuring each one reaches their full potential. It didn't feel like any kid was singled out. They also do a good job in mixing the younger children with the older one's during class at times and lunch, just to give kids opportunity to work on social interaction. The school has an amazing spacious playground and they also have updates through their brightwheel app. All and all a quality place to send your kids. I was happy to sign up but if it wasn't for the distance I would have enrolled him yesterday. Thank you Adidi.

I chose this school because it has nice playground under the shade with water toys, sand play, gardening and some rides, and very friendly nice teachers. During a tour, one teacher welcomed my son and let him play with other kids. I was surprised it because normally my son is too shy to play without me. And then I got sure that he can do well here. He'd cried for the first month but teachers always tried to make him comfortable to be there. When I pick him up, he always had a lot of fun with friends and says don't want to go home.A director of ECLA is very reliable and professional. I can share any about my son with her. A teacher of a younger class is very creative. My son showed us many incredible works and we love to see them. Another teacher of an older class is very friendly and gives lot of loves to kids.I'm so excited that they introduced a new method to share photos and information through the app.

My daughter loves to go to ECLA. The school provides a very warm and welcoming environment. My daughter even talks about how she really enjoys her time at preschool. Ms.Gulshan and Ms.Adidi go above and beyond to make kids feel at ease. My daughter had several pee-pee accidents but never once she felt uncomfortable, rather the teachers gave her a hug and said it's ok. This preschool is a second home to my daughter and we absolutely feel lucky to have found it.

My toddler has been going here for a little over 2 months now and we couldn't be happier. The preschool director and the teachers are friendly and caring. We love that the rooms are bright and spacious with small class size. Daily activities include arts and craft, music and outdoor time and story reading. Every morning my kid is excited to go to school and can't wait to see his friends and teachers. We toured several schools trying to find the right fit and finally found it with ECLA. Thank you for making our kid's first school experience a wonderful one!
