Heartbreaking disappointment...My older son went to this school and had a good experience. My younger son was there recently, but I had to pull him out. He did pre-k 2 there. During that year he was diagnosed with autism and started receiving behavior and speech therapy while in school. The director and teachers seemed to have his best interests at heart. We had a meeting with the director and my son's behavior analyst in April and agreed to leave him in the same class with the same teacher for the next school year (the director's idea). Everything started changing in august starting with the day of the orientation with the teacher's shock and confusion as to why my son was in her class again, and continuing with cold treatment from staff and parents. I sent emails and left messages with the director to have a conference and no one ever got back to me. The last straw is when I found out that the teacher was telling the other children not to play with my son. I showed up at the school that afternoon clearly upset. All I could do was cry as I explained everything That had been going on. She accused me of not showing up for a meeting - thAt her secretary left me a message - a flat out lie because my voicemail was not working at the time. She put on an unauthentic display of sympathy and then stood up as I was still sobbing to say her goodbyes. No one cared. All of this could have been avoided if she just would have come out and told me that she no longer felt that her school was the right place for my son.

CLC is a nurturing school is like an extension of our home. Seen my son learning, being cared and soooo happy at CLC is a blessing! I will be forever thankful and can't wait for my little daughter to start at CLC!

I changed my daughter to this school from SCA and now, she's so HAPPY and HEALTHY. Miss Carolina and Mrs. Maria are lovable teachers that are doing a great job teaching the children. There's nothing negative to say about this school only positive stuff. Try it for yourself. Thank you CLC!

My husband and I are so happy our son is in this school! We looked at many preschools before THANKFULLY finding this one. His teachers make learning fun through creative activities-- the ABCs, numbers, science and social studies are interconnected through play and reading, which makes my son so excited about learning and going to school. His teachers are amazing-- very caring, knowledgable and professional. The school's special activities/holiday celebrations are worth taking a half-day or full-day off from work because the kids are so happy you are there and they have so much FUN. The school director, Ms. Emi, is very involved, patient and very approachable. She is highly qualified and was born for this position. Last but not least, the office staff is very helpful and treat you like family. My other children will also be going to this school when they are old enough. I highly recommend this school!

Beyond happy with the CLC. My daughter is completing her first year in the toddler program and will now be moving into PK-3. She is excited to go to school everyday and that makes me so happy. The atmosphere is warm and nurturing and I'm so comfortable knowing that she is growing, learning and thriving. Highly recommend this school!

My daughter has attended CLC for two years now. PK3 and PK4. The teacher for PK3 was outstanding. Daily feed back on my daughters progress and her knowledge base. My daughter FLOURISHED. PK4 has been just as pleasurable, the teacher is patient, kind, understanding in Kiddo politics. not too much feedback on behavior, but more on her scholastic achievements. The curriculum is preschool: phonics, naming letters, colors, shapes- but all done creatively. The principal is well versed in childhood education, and I feel isn't too political. She visits the classrooms and really keeps to the Creative Learning structure. There are a few negatives however, there are a few teachers who are "screamers", the teachers seem to have their own little clicks. Everyone seems to be sick at the start of the year. I've heard barking coughs from classrooms. The kids activity tables are a little out dated (old toys) . Their playground is sand. Y But once you get over the 5 lbs of sand that comes home, you truly focus on how your child has learned. "Mom can you say basketball without basket? That's a compound word." Makes my day.

I could not be happier with CLC! My son is going on his third year and I just enrolled my 2 year old to start in August. The classroom sizes are great, the teachers and teachers asst. are wonderful and the principal and office staff are amazing. Everyone knows everyone, parents and faculty are nice and everyone welcomes you with open arms. The education is great my son just finished PK 3 and is already writing his name. After seeing the reviews of all of the schools out there I wish that CLC would expand so that my kids would never have to leave. My son is very happy there and so are my husband and I.

CLC is a great school! Both of my kids have been attending since PK-3. A warm and cozy environment, convenient location, parent friendly, fun activities/events, and great teachers and staff. The Kindergarten program is TERRIFIC! Improvements need to be made to the playground since it is composed of sand. Overall, I highly recommend CLC!

CLC provides a nurturing and safe environment for all of their students. My child loves her teacher and her school! As an educator myself, I can say this school and staff has far exceeded my expectations.

Very sweet and caring teachers, although some classrooms are very small with a lot of kids all bunched up together sharing germs. There are also too many kids sharing the same bathroom, the playground has sand and looks very dirty, and the school in general is not very clean. My son is always sick and so are his classmates. He does like going to school because the teachers sweet, although he relates getting sick with going to school.

We love this preschool!! The teachers and staff are so friendly. My son is learning so much. I wish it went all the way to fifth grade - my other son will be attending CLC once he is old enough. I would most definitely recommend Creative Learning Center!

Amazing. The teaching and guidance is just exceptional. I love this school. I wish they had infant care so that my next baby can start here early.

Thank you, CLC! All of the reviews are so true! My daughter attended for 3 years. She was so prepared for 1st grade that she passed the FAIR test with an 86% in the first ten days of school (indicating her probability of passing the grade). Ms. Alina, Ms. Patty and Ms. Alex are just a few of the wonderful teachers who care and nourish children's minds. My son is starting his second year there and I can't wait for my little one to be old enough to attend. Thank you to Ms. Emi and all the wonderful ladies at CLC!

I love CLC. the staff is amazing, and I couldn't ask for more from my child's school. They have an amazing program with amazing teachers. The kindergarten program has taken my daughter to where she is today! I thank God everyday for putting such great teachers (Ms. Cuqui and Ms. Adriana) as well as the other staff, in our path everyday!
