We love the art, STEM curriculum and most of all how much the girls love going to school every day. We trust the Center and staff to keep our kids safe and learning and very happy with helping us transition to all the infant and toddler firsts.
— Elizabeth H.
We have been consistently impressed with the variety of activities that help engage the kids, build new skills and master movements or language. The meals help them explore food items we may not have often at home — being around other kids makes new food seem less scary.
— Leah W.
One thing we love about CKA is how everyone knows our child - not just the teachers in his room, but when we're walking out of the building at pickup time, any staff member who passes us in the hall says hi to him by name. It makes us feel like he's part of a community and that the staff really know him and care about him.
— Sascha L.
We absolutely love CKA! We couldn't be happier with the care and support our son has received over the years. One of the things we especially appreciate is that CKA provides transportation to and from kindergarten, which has been such a huge help for our family. A special shout-out to his school-age teacher, Ms. China, who has been amazing! She is so relatable, fun, and genuinely connects with the kids. My son absolutely adores her, and she makes his days fun and gives him something to look forward to. After 5 years, CKA truly feels like an extension of our family.
— Kiona M.
Our son has been at Creative Kids for 1.5 years. We have been happy with our experience in infants, emerging toddlers, and now toddlers. Many of our son's classmates have been together since infants, and he continues to talk about all his friends when he gets home. The teachers have always been kind and helpful.
— Jon Z.
After being very satisfied with having my first child go here and succeed, I decided to send my second child as well. Same results. Both of my children seem ahead of the curve. Neither has any reservations about being dropped off, and my oldest always has good things to say when he is picked up. There are many activities that CKA does that include the whole family — for example, the Week of the Young Child and other holiday pageants that my wife and I are encouraged to attend and take part in. The staff really make it fun for the children and parents alike. I am looking forward to my oldest moving up so he can enjoy the field trips that the school-age class goes on.
