From our family to yours, have a safe a memorable New Year’s Eve!!!

11/27/2025

We’re always inspired by the countless stories of how Children’s Learning Place has shaped lives, strengthened community, and created connections that last far beyond the classroom. And this year has been no different. 2025 has been filled with “every day should feel this great” moments—those small but powerful reminders of why we do what we do.

One of our favorite stories comes from families who first met at CLP when their little ones were just 1, 2, or 3 years old. What began as simple morning drop-offs and shared toddler milestones slowly turned into real friendships—parents cheering each other on, kids growing up side by side, and families building traditions that extended well past their time at CLP.

Today, many of those families still gather for birthdays, holidays, backyard barbecues, first-day-of-school photos, and even vacations. They’ve celebrated new babies, new homes, new jobs—and carried each other through life’s harder seasons too. All because, years ago, their children first learned and laughed together in a CLP classroom.

These stories remind us of our purpose. “It’s not about how many clients we serve; it’s about how many people we help—as we teach, develop, support, and show up every single day in ways that help every child, parent, and teacher become the best version of themselves.”

As we head into this special holiday, preparing for great food, family, friends, fun, and meaningful moments, we want to take a moment to say one more heartfelt THANK YOU — to our dedicated team, and to the best students and families in the world.

You are the reason Children’s Learning Place is authentic, enduring, and truly special since 1998. And you are the heart behind every story worth celebrating.

Happy Thanksgiving.
