Growing With Minnesota Families Since 2009
Since opening our first four schools in 2009, Creative Kids Academy has been guided by a simple belief: every child deserves high-quality, nurturing care that encourages them to learn, grow, and imagine what is possible.
Today, we’re proud to serve families through 13 locations across Minnesota. Every new location represents another opportunity to strengthen a community, support local families, and help more children reach their potential.
While we’ve grown over the years, our purpose has remained the same—to create welcoming environments where children feel loved, families feel supported, and educators are empowered to make a lasting difference.
That purpose comes to life through the mantra, mission, vision, and values that continue to guide every decision we make.
“Positive Energy Creates a Positive World!”
Positivity is more than a phrase; it’s the heart of our culture. At Creative Kids Academy, we strive to put this belief into practice every day. When children are surrounded by encouragement, kindness, and people who believe in them, they develop confidence, build meaningful relationships, and discover what they’re capable of.
Our Mission
Creative Kids Academy’s mission is to provide quality, nurturing, and affordable care for each and every child, with creativity and academics in mind.
Imagine the possibilities…
Our Vision for Each Child
Our vision is to enable and encourage each child to reach their potential and become a confident leader in their community. Through our nurturing approach to learning and life, we promote:
Our Core Values
Trust
Mutual trust creates strong connections and provides a foundation for happiness, confidence, and growth.
Education
Education begins the day you are born. We encourage children—and one another—to never stop learning.
Nurture
A nurturing environment early in life helps children build the confidence they will carry with them for years to come.
Creativity
Imagination opens the door to exploration, discovery, and innovation.
Health
Healthy habits and active lifestyles help children grow strong and contribute to healthier communities.
Safety
We never compromise safety. Creating secure, attentive, and supportive environments is central to everything we do.
Social Responsibility
Children are the future ambassadors of our world. We teach them to appreciate, respect, and care for the people and world around them.
Our Values in Action
Our mission and values influence far more than what happens inside our classrooms.
They shape how we support our educators, invest in new programs, strengthen the communities we serve, and continue making high-quality early childhood education more accessible for Minnesota families.
As Creative Kids Academy continues to grow, these principles remain at the heart of every decision we make.
