The Clifton Early Learner Academy (CELA) encompasses all the classes that make up our Public Preschool Program. The CELA program has two main school buildings, CELA A (Allwood Rd., Clifton) and CELA B (Brighton Rd., Clifton) We also have pre-school program classrooms located at CELA S at 49 Speer Avenue School, #17, 12 Annex, The Center for Family Resources-Father Michael Judge Center (at School 15). We opened our doors in 2015 and are part of the Department of Education Preschool Expansion Grant.

We believe in creating a safe environment where children are motivated and nurtured, inspired, and empowered to be lifelong learners. Together, our goal is to create an inclusive community where everyone is accepted and respected.
