Comstock Early Learning Academy

Comstock Early Learning Academy (CELA) is an innovative early childhood education center operated by Comstock Public Schools. Students will have a positive learning experience with peers and adults in a fun, safe, and creative environment. We provide child-focused and play-based learning opportunities to cultivate life-long learners who are successful in all areas of living.

Enroll now!

We are currently accepting applications for the 2025-26 school year.  If you have questions, contact Mary Spade, Principal of CELA.

Keep these thoughts in mind when considering your preschool options:

  • In-district students enrolled in any of the programs at CELA will receive Comstock Public Schools bus transportation.

  • All meals (breakfast, snack, and lunch) are FREE at CELA for the 2025-26 school year!

All Kalamazoo County PRE-K programs are licensed by the state of Michigan, and all programs use a common pre-K application with documentation of the child's age and residency and the parent's income to determine a child's eligibility. Click here to begin the Kalamazoo County Pre-K Application
