About the Provider

Description: Creative Minds Learning Centers were founded in 1997 by Ken and Jacqueline McKinster due to the overwhelming need for quality child care programs.

The McKinsters searched for child care options at the time their son, KJ was born. Jacqueline began taking classes for ECE and received her Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education with a minor in Art Studies.

They called the schools "Creative Minds" which reflects their vision of being open minded to creative input from children, teachers and families. The belief still stands at CMLC that everyone has something special to offer our schools, programs and community of children we serve.

Creative Minds Learning Centers were created, meeting the needs of families searching for quality child care programs in smaller, secure environments and uniquely designed spaces. They raised the bar by offering excellent student to teacher ratios and healthy meals in a structured and educational setting.

The McKinsters opened their first school, the Gateway school in 2000. This school was a preschool in the community for over thirty years and needed major remodeling. The McKinsters actually lived in the school for a short time, giving up everything they owned for this dream with their son KJ.
