Children’s Choice Learning Center

Boy has this place made positive changes since the last time I visited!!! CCLC needed lots of cleanup a few years ago when I visited the center to inquire about enrolling my then small toddler. I didn’t like what I saw the place was dark and dreary. My toddler is now in PK (4 years old) and I needed somewhere for her to go when school is out for holidays, Spring Break, etc. I heard that there was new ownership so I decided to try it out. This is not the same place I visited years ago! So many updates have been made to the inside of this daycare that make it more bright, cheerful, and appropriate for little ones. There are always things that I can pick apart at any given daycare center (and I do it well)…that’s not my purpose here. As a parent the most important thing is that my child feels comfortable when I leave. I know that she did because when I picked her up she didn’t want to leave. She could tell me the teacher’s name and some of the names of kids in the classroom so I know that she was properly introduced and had time to interact with these kids. At any age it’s hard when you have to leave your child in an unfamiliar place. She’s excited for the next time she gets to go back and that makes my heart sing.

If I could give them a ZERO review I would. First off My daughter enrolled my grandson there for a 2 day a week program so he could make some friends and play, he is 3 yrs old. You can watch your child in their classroom via Watch me grow app. These people are not trained well at all. You can’t hear what they are saying but you can see what they are doing. One of the ladies in the class was very aggressive with the children and I don’t mean that in a good way. She shoved tables up against the walls with children sitting at the tables and the looks on the 3 year olds faces was frightening. When they leave the room you can’t see other parts of school on screen. On the 3^rd day that my grandson was to go back to the school he cried to not take him. I must remind you that he asked to start to school, so by crying to not go back makes you wonder about the actions of the staff at Children’s Choice in Pearland. He asked to go to the other school. So, if you are looking for a school for your child keep looking PASS THIS ONE UP!

Started taking my 3 year old for part time care, 2 days a week. He literally only went for 2 days. My Mom and I watched the video feed via the Watch Me Grow app, both of those days, and what I saw was a room full of 3 year olds with bottled up energy they were not allowed to expend. I understand that they have a schedule, and a curriculum, but bless their hearts they are surrounded by toys and play centers that they don’t get to touch! I watched on days that my son didn’t go to see if it was any different, and it was not. Never got to go outside, and didn’t get to play. They sit ALL DAY LONG. They literally go from sitting at the carpet, to sitting at the table, to sitting back at the carpet. At one point the kids were so restless from sitting at tables, one of the kids at my sons table kept moving it away from the wall. The teacher kept moving it back, you could tell she got so frustrated that she almost slammed my son between the wall and the table on accident. I was so frustrated and mad just watching. If there’s bad weather, mosquitos, or just too hot or cold and they can’t go outside to play, then they should be allowed to get up and move, or play! I called the center and talked to the lady at the front desk, Didn’t see any change that day. Called the director and talked to him the next day about it, which he agreed. Didn’t see any change that day either. During their outside time, they were inside. Of course I had to call to find out, because you are only given access to the classroom. You can’t see what they are doing anywhere else in the center. When it came time to play at the «centers» in the room, they were no longer in the room. Teachers are obviously too lazy for their jobs… Yes it’s great they have a curriculum, it is called a «learning center», but they are 3 year olds, they should be allowed to use their imaginations, and have just a little fun right? My 6 year old First Grader even gets to take Brain Breaks while he’s in class, plus recess. It doesn’t need to be free time all day long, but give them 30 mins at least of just using their imagination, and having a little fun! No, I definitely do not recommend this place. I was refused a refund for the $ 125 registration also, even though my son only went for 2 days. My son was the one who asked to go to «school», so he could play with friends. Today he was supposed to go for his 3^rd day, and cried not to go. He asked to go to his old school (which no longer offers part time care). They also had a curriculum there, and a schedule, but the kids also got to be kids…

My triplets and twins have attended CCLC since they were barely 18 months old, the triplets are getting ready to start Kindergarten now and I must say, I credit this center with getting them ready. I am confident they have the skills they need to begin BIG KIDS School. I am proud to say this is one of the finest places you can take your precious children. The staff and caring, kind, loving and professional. I have been more than happy with the prices and the level of learning the kids receive. They continually strive to upgrade their playgrounds, the classrooms, and its so welcoming and inviting, yet safe and secure!
As far as the previous poster, yes they have a $ 25 fee per week, thats very small, in my opinion, to hold your slot while you vacation, so they can pay the workers continue working. Any other center I have been to charge 50%.
Also, yes if you are late with your payment, they charge $ 20, every other business will as well.

I would not recommend this place for long-​term childcare for many reasons.
First of all they have quite a few fees that they mysteriously will charge you. There is not a lot of detail as to why they are charging you these fees and they are not posted well. Is there really a need for all of these fees?
If you have your child in school and you are not going to put your children at this childcare center for spring break or for the Christmas. Then you need to pay a reservation fee. I’m not too sure why they have reservation fees other then they still need to pay some of the other employees that are there when their most likely is not that many children there.
I do not think they will trained to help your kids. I have gone in there and seen many children fighting with the employees not doing a thing.
Since pulling my children out from this childcare center they have improved quite a bit. They don’t come home all dirty from playing outside or smell bad from the place.
Yes it was a cheap option compared to other locations but I don’t think it was the best option.
