What Coon Rapids Families Are Saying

❝

CKA is our village and our partner. When I drop off, I don’t worry at all. I trust that he is well cared for by any staff there.

— A Coon Rapids Parent

❝

Today was the first day my daughter went to Creative Kids Academy. All I have to say is WOW!!! The attention to detail in the care they provided blew my mind. I was updated in real time about everything she did, the food was fantastic, and the photos were great. I feel good knowing she is in good hands.

— Visio A.

❝

Our toddler has attended CKA for 2 years and now our almost 1 year old son attends too! We’ve been very happy with the communication of daily activities and updates they provide. My daughter looks forward to going to see her friends and the teachers and it amazes me how her learning and language skills have flourished in her time there! Definitely recommend!
