After being a stay-at-home mom for a year and a half, I made the decision to enroll my daughter in daycare. I wanted her to learn, interact with other children, build her fine and gross motor skills, spend time outdoors, and be exposed to new people and environments outside of myself. Finding the right daycare in Columbus, GA, however, was not easy. Many places didn’t meet my expectations, had no openings, or couldn’t accommodate our dietary needs. We don’t eat beef or pork, and my daughter requires lactose-free milk.
When I discovered Clarian Child Place & Learning Center, I knew it was the right fit before our tour even ended. I was immediately impressed by their security, their willingness to accommodate our dietary restrictions, and the warm, welcoming staff. The children were all smiles, the parents had nothing but positive things to say, and the director at the time, Ms. Kami, made both my daughter’s and my own transition seamless. I left with complete peace of mind.
My daughter’s one-year-old teachers, Ms. Shanice Wheeler and Mrs. Shiara Jones, were truly outstanding. They love and care for their students as if they were their own. In just six months, my daughter was already reciting her ABCs, counting from 1–10, answering “what’s 1+1,” and learning so much more. I was amazed at how much she was retaining! Beyond academics, they created a fun, joyful classroom environment. My daughter came home singing and dancing every day—“Baby Bumblebee” quickly became our car ride anthem, thanks to Ms. Shanice! I was genuinely sad when she moved up to the Toddler 2’s class because we loved them so much.
Now, in the Toddler 2’s with Mrs. Erica, my daughter continues to thrive. Mrs. Erica is phenomenal—she responds quickly to any messages, keeps me informed, and creates engaging homework projects. She’s creative, organized, and supportive, even helping with potty training. Since joining her class, my daughter has been reading books, identifying animals, speaking more clearly, and forming full sentences.
We truly love Clarian. This daycare has become a part of our village, and I wouldn’t recommend any other place. The staff are exceptional, caring, and take their roles seriously. From the new director, Mrs. Adedolapo (Dola), to the assistant director, Ms. Angelica, and the rest of the team, everyone is welcoming and dedicated. Clarian Child Place & Learning Center is exactly where you want your child to be!

A Hidden Gem for Little Learners!"
We couldn’t be happier with Clarian Place! Our twin daughters absolutely love going to school each day — and as parents, that’s the best feeling in the world. From the moment we walked in, we felt a warm, nurturing energy that hasn’t wavered since day one.
The teachers are not only caring but also incredibly skilled at bringing out each child’s unique personality. We’ve seen our girls grow in confidence, curiosity, and kindness — all thanks to the thoughtful activities, engaging curriculum, and a strong sense of community the school fosters.
The classrooms are bright, cheerful, and full of creativity. Whether it’s music time, outdoor play, or themed learning days, our daughters come home excited to tell us all about it. It’s clear the staff genuinely love what they do.
If you're looking for a preschool that feels like a second home and truly invests in your child’s early development, Clarian Place is a wonderful choice.
