Children's Learning Paradise — Local services in Virginia Beach

We absolutely love CLP—it’s truly been a second home for our children. All three of our kids have gone here (or are currently enrolled), and we couldn’t imagine a better place for them to grow, learn, and thrive. • Most importantly, our children are safe and deeply loved here. • Ms. Luz and the entire staff have become like family to us—they are nurturing, dedicated, and genuinely care about each child. • They serve healthy, homecooked, balanced meals with lots of variety and low sugar—something we really value. • Our kids spend plenty of time outdoors exploring, playing, and connecting with nature. There’s no TV or screen time, which we appreciate. • Emotional self-regulation is taught and modeled daily, and we’ve seen how much this supports our children’s confidence and social skills. • The dual immersion in both language and culture is incredible—it’s a gift that adds so much richness to their learning. • Communication is consistently clear and thoughtful; we always feel informed and supported as parents. • We’ve also connected with other families through the daycare community, which has been a wonderful bonus. • Our older children were potty trained early (our youngest is well on her way!) and fully transitioned out of diapers without any stress or setbacks. • The school readiness support is excellent—our kids entered pre-K and kindergarten already knowing their letters and routines. • CLP partners with the UVA-developed Stream3in program, and follows a well-structured curriculum during the school year, along with a fun and enriching summer program.

We’re sharing our experience because we know this is one of the most important decisions a parent will make for their child. This daycare has given our family so much peace of mind and joy—we truly can’t recommend Children’s Learning...

I applied for this daycare back in 2022. They told me I needed to wait until fall of 2023- no problem. However, I needed to basically chase down the director to get a tour of the place. To no avail, they never called back in fall of 2023. Luckily I had some back up daycares and my child went there instead. Im technically still on the wait list after this many years. I wanted to give them another chance, I called the other day to see the status of my enrollment and they said they would call back, but no surprise- no response again. Im honestly surprised that they have students attending with the lack of communication to even get your kids in.

I have no experience inside the school, but their administration is lacking extremely. It makes me nervous as a parent that if my child attended this school, I would never know if anything...

I love this place and these ladies so much that sometimes I just want to hang out there! You can tell that each of these ladies is passionate about children and education. They have created a stimulating, caring environment for my son who has been going there since he was 2 months old. As a first time Mom, it was really scary for me to have to turn him over at such a young age, but I can tell he is happy and that he loves the ladies that care for him there. This is a tight-knit family company that truly LOVES the children they care for. Add in healthy food (all prepared in-house - NOT processed), crafty activities, continuing education for the staff so they're always up to date on best practices, and even a room to breastfeed - What more could...
