Our Preschool Program
The preschool years are full of imagination, curiosity, and big ideas. At Creative Kids Academy, children learn by doing: asking questions, solving problems, creating, exploring, and building friendships along the way. Our teachers nurture a love of learning while helping children develop the academic, social, emotional, and independence skills that build a strong foundation for kindergarten and beyond.

Kindergarten Readiness Starts Here
Kindergarten readiness is about so much more than knowing letters and numbers. It’s about raising confident, curious, and independent learners who are excited to ask questions, try new things, and take on new challenges.
Through our Learning Beyond Paper curriculum, preschoolers learn by doing: exploring STEAM concepts, solving problems, creating, experimenting, and making discoveries through purposeful play. Along the way, caring teachers and enrichment experiences help children build the academic, social-emotional, and communication skills they’ll carry with them into kindergarten and beyond.
Our NAEYC Accreditation and 4-Star Parent Aware Rating reflect our commitment to providing the highest standards of early childhood education and creating the strongest possible foundation for what comes next.
Enrichment Expands Learning
As children grow, so do their opportunities to explore new interests. Our Preschool Program offers a variety of enrichment experiences, such as Kids Yoga, dance, music, Spanish, karate, science, theater, and more (offerings vary by location). These experiences give children new ways to move, create, build confidence, and discover what they love—all offered at no additional cost to families because we believe every child deserves the opportunity to discover new passions.

What Parents Love About Our Preschool Program
Every day our preschooler comes home excited to tell us what she learned — a new song, a science discovery, or a story about a friend. The balance of play and learning is wonderful.
My preschooler loves going to school every day. His language and social skills have drastically improved, and the teachers come up with a variety of fun activities.
Every time I pick him up they’re sharing stories about how he’s doing. Our child has developed quicker than I imagined — talking in full sentences much sooner than I thought. CKA has been stellar for our family.
The teachers are amazing. CKA is a family atmosphere, my children are constantly learning, and I’m so grateful for how kindergarten-ready they were! The curriculum is fantastic and it’s a great value.
