One of CELC’s greatest strengths is its diversity not only among the teachers but also in the children they care for. I appreciate the sensitivity and understanding they have shown to accommodate all the cultures within the center. My son truly enjoys being at the child care center, he has learned tremendously from his classmates and teachers.

My daughter has been in Room A for almost a year now. She started at 16 months, and although I was a little nervous putting her in a childcare center so young, I quickly became at ease, and knew that it was a great place for her. Although she only attends one day a week, she appears very comfortable and looks forward to being there. Up until recently, she was very quiet in school, but when I would bring her home she would “talk” for hours and sing, and do things that I know she observed and learned in class. She eagerly washed hands, would sing songs, color, work on puzzles and interact in positive ways from things she had learned in school.

I am constantly impressed and encouraged by the Room A staff. They go out of their way to meet and greet my daughter, even on the days that she isn’t attending school. They are energetic, welcoming, positive and listen well.

Como Early Learning Center (CELC) has been a wonderful, nurturing and educational experience for my daughter. She began attending the school in the Toddler room when she was sixteen-months-old and is now enjoying her last few months in the Pre-School classroom, quickly approaching “Kindergartener” status. There is no doubt that CELC has well prepared her socially, emotionally and academically for elementary school.

The teachers and Director of the school are excellent with the children in that they provide a safe, warm and nurturing environment, while maintaining a sense of structure and direction. This is not simply a daycare center that you drop your child off at to be babysat; it is an age-appropriate, academic setting that encourages children to have fun while they are learning. It is obvious that the Lead Teachers in each classroom are well educated in early childhood development and truly enjoy their profession.

Not only are the teaching staff and Director of Como Early Learning Center excellent with the children that they care for and teach, they also maintain open communication with parents and encourage our participation in school activities. My daughter and I have both really felt a sense of “belonging” at CELC and will maintain our connection with the school community even after she begins kindergarten.

I fully endorse Como Early Learning Center as a high quality, reasonably priced, early childhood development program.

Our experience at CELC has been nothing but wonderful. Right as we got the autism diagnosis last winter, our previous daycare provider dropped us. It was a very hard time for us as parents, not only getting the diagnosis but also feeling like nobody wanted our child. I called probably a dozen daycares (maybe more) before finding CELC. I was very guarded and emotionally fragile at that point. CELC welcomed us with open arms and were excited to have our child there. Everyone has been so wonderful to our child. His teachers are so understanding of his limitations but they still expect a lot from him. They are constantly challenging him and I wouldn’t have it any other way. They have been so patient with him. I know that they truly care about him and they are always excited to see the progress he makes. Everyone has been so good to him, and the experience at CELC has been so vital in his development in the past 9 months.
