LaParade Early Learning and Training Center 21000 Lakeshore Boulevard, Euclid, OH 44123

"My grandson, Aiden attends Laparade Early Learning Center...he turned 5 in January. The faculty is awesome. Unfortunately, due to my loss of vehicle my grandson has missed some days; BUT! He counts to 100, recognizes and writes his name, sound out words, and SO much more! The difference in having a people who teach versus having people who watch your child is both beyond measure and a blessing! Thanks"

"I had such an unpleasant experience here, I wouldnt ever go back. The manager has a staff member that is her child. They think that they can talk to people, any kind of way. But if you dont have good customer service, I am not going to lie to you. They talk to the kids and parents, like they are their are all children. They are NOT interested in anything that is not done “their way”, even if its in the best interest of the child. They are not ideal of your child has any special needs. They are not honest. My initial visit they sold me a dream, that they did NOT come through on. Business should not be operated in such a manner. Also for as many people as they have, creating reviews for them, they should provide the type of service that they want their ratings to reflect."

"Looking at this school for the first time, you'll be drawn to it due to it having a 5 star rating for step up to quality but dont be fooled. You will not get 5 star care. They will call you everyday to pick your child up for reasons like a nose bleed, your child keeps crying, or your child is playing with his/her hands during nap time rather than sleeping etc. Any petty reason you can think of, they will call and request that you come to pick up your child. The younger teachers respond better towards the children but the older ones have a sense of disconnect and lack of patience. They are OVERLY sensitive and take personal matters that they are dealing with in their personal lives out on the children and parents. This is very unprofessional. I myself attended school for daycare in the past, and what I learned then is that Step up to Quality should be a added benefit. What I mean by this is it should enhance the care given to the children that attend the daycare, not take it away.. This is not the case for LaParade and I caution every parent to do your research, and talk to other parents with children at this center before bringing your child there. Thank you.. Also be aware of certain staff members that write reviews for the daycare just to keep the rating up. The truth will always come to the light."

"I'm so sad to see my son have to leave to start school after 2 years here with these remarkable teachers. In case you don't know, this is one of a select FEW 5 STAR RATED facilities in the city. They don't come too often. Ms. Parris and Ms. Rice have been gracious, understanding, caring examples of what its like when you take the time to observe and listen. I will miss them dearly and"

"First and foremost I would like to address some of the negative reviews that I seen posted about this child care center. PLEASE.... I SEE NOTHING BUT LIES TOLD. I am very much so impressed with the service I have received at this center. My daughter which is special needs requires a lot of one-on-one care and receives that each and every day with no SLACKING. Therefore I definitely believe that LaParade is a Five-Star Award Winning Step Up To Quality Center. Not for that just reason but because the teachers who work there are loving and nurturing to all of the children creating a positive learning environment which specialize in individualized care and still maintain focus on all the children. I have visited some other local childcare centers and some even further out in different counties and they don't even compare. The environment is always positive the teachers appear happy day to day and I never had a negative vibe about the center. Learning is always taken place and the director is more than an director. She is an educator and her compassion for children and learning excels my expectations especially in child care. I have been to centers where the director never barely comes out of the office and does not do any teaching in the classroom. When I come in and I don't see her in the classroom I know she's doing some research in her office to better the center and also educate her workers of being so much more than child care workers. The center is very well kept up ALWAYS clean the materials being used by the children are modern nothing old and out of date. Its bright & and welcoming with children made work. The children there are always happy with smiles on their face. I never walk in to unhappy children and my daughter never wants to leave. My child loves it so much everyday she comes home she can't wait to tell me about what happen at school. My daughter thinks she attends school and not a daycare which amazes me. To conclude if you don't like what was offered at LaParade you need to take a look around and I'm sure you'll be wanting to come back. What's up the road might be cheaper with a lot more children but at the end of the day your child or children might not learn anything and might not be given the care that's given at LaParade. I explained to the director about my child and her needs and she did not once ever turn her back or make me feel uncomfortable she called and called me and stayed on top of things and kept me informed and we worked together to provide my child the best possible. To the woman who said her son had a disability and she was made to feel uncomfortable and the director turned her away I turn you away too if you're in denial about receiving the best care for your child your child's privacy was not violated information was being seeking to see where to begin to help your child if you can't see that than you need help yourself get your head out your ASS. The lady who made a comment about the popcorn go beat your feet somewhere else that has nothing to do with the quality of the center. Lastly my last thought the lady who said she want to call Fox 8 news you should call them and vote them the best center in Cuyahoga. To see these negative statements and remarks made about the place where my child attends offends me."
