TESTIMONIALS

Creative Kids is the best daycare/preschool decision we have ever made. The entire staff is incredibly generous and loving; they treat our son as though he is one of their own. Infant, toddler, and preschool age kiddos are challenging for parents and the Creative Kids staff has definitely made it a lot easier during this adventure. I would recommend this daycare/preschool to any and all. We love the staff and so does my son!

The Nichols Family

The kids love it here! They adjusted really quickly. Every day the kids are clean, happy, and learning things. I love the activities, the teachers, and the peace of mind I have when I leave my kiddos here every day.

The Barber Family

You can tell how good they are by the length of the wait list. Our boys love it, and everyone is flexible and willing to work with you to make it a great experience for your children to make sure they are developing as brightly as they should!

The Stern Family

My children have been cared for at creative kids for 3 years. I never worry about their safety or well-being. Most of the teachers there have their own children at the facility. They treat all the children like their own. I feel like the staff is more than staff-they are aunts and uncles to my kids. One incident I can honestly recall as life changing was when my ( then 5 year old ) choked. The teacher caring for them at the time didn’t hesitate to perform the Heimlich on him. That night was a snow storm and 911 would have not responded in time. She saved his life. I wouldn’t have known what to do had I even been there as I I’m not CPR certified. I trust them all completely.

The Kreaman Family

Nearly 23 years ago I went to Creative Kids. I have such fond memories of my time there that when it was time for my four month old to go to childcare, I knew I wanted him to go to Creative Kids too. Karen and Kristen are absolutely wonderful as is the rest of the staff. My son lights up when he sees Miss Tina every morning! I know he is loved and well taken care of while my husband and I work!

Kelly West

I love this place, they take such good care of my son; his social skills have grown, including sign language. I love that I can visit whenever and they send home little notes.

The Suazo Family

Creative Kids

We believe that young children learn best through direct involvement with people and hands on experience.  The child’s changing developmental needs will be met by providing appropriate activities and experiences that challenge the child, allows individual creativity and growth in the following areas:

Physical, Social Emotional, Creative, Intellectual.

Children will have a chance to explore, experiment, discover concepts, problem solve, cooperate, express thoughts and feelings, take initiative and responsibility, make friends and appreciate our world.  It is our commitment to help children develop into confident, caring, creative, capable and loving people.
