Welcome to our small, nurturing childcare center! We are a privately owned preschool and day care that is licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Children's Learning Ladder is Murrysville's original childcare center and has provided services to the working parents in the community since 1983. Our experienced, caring, and creative teachers are dedicated to providing quality educational experiences for our students in a structured, safe, and positive learning environment. Our unique curriculum is taught from the Pennsylvania Early Learning Standards that are outlined by the PA Department of Education. We provide care for ages 12 months to 6 years. As early childhood educators, our staff strives to provide stimulating, hands-on activities and experiences for our community's youngest learners. Our structured activities promote the social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and academic development of each of our students. It is our goal that these first experiences will positively impact and foster their success as lifelong learners.
We invite you to browse our website and to visit our center to meet our directors and experienced teachers. If you have any questions regarding our program, tuition, or enrollment, please feel free to contact our center!
"First of all, I would like to say my grandchildren were in this facility and they loved it and the staff treated them exceptionally well. They treated my grandchildren like their own. Landra is a great director and genuinely cares about the children. It was always warm and welcoming feeling upon walking in... I never felt rushed at drop off and they helped my grandchildren adjust in whatever ways they could. They have a really great preschool with a loving teacher also. They have lots of fun toys and an outside play area that is fenced in, also fun activities in the summer too. Don't hesitate to enroll your child here!"

"Children's Learning Ladder is such an incredible and enriching center for my daughter. It has been evident from her first day that CLL makes it their priority to cultivate and promote a nurturing, caring, and positive environment for my daughter's educational, social and emotional needs. Each staff member is kind, professional, and approachable. The teachers make it their goal to elevate each student's educational experience with projects, science experiments and structured activities. The directors and staff have excellent communication with my husband and I. We find this communication very comforting, helping us know our daughter is in excellent hands while we are away at work. It is also to be duly noted that Ms. Landra, the director of CLL, made our enrollment process go incredibly quickly and smoothly. She helped us with each step of the enrollment process, answering our questions along the way. Her professionalism, knowledge, and gentle manner made our choice to send our daughter to CLL even easier. My husband and I are thrilled with our experience at this center, and we highly recommend this center!"

"We couldn't be happier with our experience at Children's Learning Ladder! The teachers are nurturing, patient, and dedicated to each child. They offer a thoughtfully designed curriculum for each classroom, which includes a very positive cognitive, social, and emotional environment. The Children's Learning Ladder does a wonderful job at balancing between play and learning. Our little one is so excited about going each day and has a sense of community with his peers and teachers. Thank you, CLL!"

"Children's Learning Ladder truly made a difference in our two young boys' lives! We were always treated so kindly, and our kids were excited to wake up and attend every day from ages 18 months to 5 years old. They especially enjoyed the themed PJ days, movie days, or water days in the summer! They made great friends at school and were sad sometimes when the weekend came, as they would miss their friends and teachers. The teachers were always so supportive and understanding of our kids' needs and always communicated clearly when there any issues or bumps and bruises from playing too hard on the playground. Both boys were easily able to transition to public Kindergarten thanks to the teaching and learning in the Preschool programs! Our boys were sad to see their Learning Ladder days end, but I will forever be thankful for the love, great teaching, and kindness they were shown in their early education years!"

"For most, daycare is a necessity and not a commodity. Choosing the right facility is like picking out a pair of blue jeans; you have to try them on and make sure they fit right! Children's Learning Ladder was always the better choice for our little girl and will continue to be a rock my family stands on. Social skills, teaching the alphabet, counting, fine motor skills, and many more are on the menu, and they are all great! The staff are second to none and make you feel like family. They truly care about you and your child showing much love, attention, safety, and corrective action which all children desperately need. I can only share my wonderful experience with CLL, yours will be just as great."

"I absolutely love having my daughter at Children's Learning Ladder! We feel like family here and I just love the small class size. I feel like she gets to learn more and gets more attention from her teachers this way. She has learned so much from being here and is above all of her benchmarks! All the teachers are a great help, especially in the mornings when my daughter might have trouble leaving me. I feel like each of the staff truly cares about each of the kids. I love having my daughter here knowing she is safe and happy!"
