Explore EnrichmentWhat Elk River on 10 Families Are Saying
This is a place where we as a family and our child absolutely loves daycare. The second we walk in she is giving all the teachers hugs before we can even get to her classroom.
My children have been enrolled from infants through preschool and it's been a great journey. The teachers are super kind, dedicated, and they really care about them and their development. I have seen a huge improvement in my child's behavior, emotional control, and awareness.
Our four year old has been enrolled since they opened. We absolutely love the staff and curriculum for the preschool. She is thriving and loves to go to “school” each day. She has made many friends. The staff is very professional and has been responsive to all concerns.
My daughter has been coming to this location since she was 3 months old. Every classroom she has been in has helped her thrive socially and developmentally. I have never doubted that she is being well cared for, and she adores all of her teachers. Everyone has always communicated amazingly, and I'm never left questioning what my daughter did all day or what she learned.
The teachers at Creative Kids 2 are absolutely amazing. My daughter is on the autism spectrum. They have helped her flourish so much by helping her understand what she needs and how to vocalize it rather than having her breakdowns. Very thankful for the teachers at Creative Kids 2.
