Both my children where pretty much born and raised by the owner of kidcare. I would not think of any other place to send My kids. The owner treats every child like it was her own and better. They are always busy doing activities as well as a great pre k a dn kindergarten program. The summer time is nothing but lots of fun ad great trips. As far as others saying how bad it is that's a down right lie. She is I. Open honest loving person who deeply cards for each child. So if you have any doubt's about sending your child there your crazy. My kids are now to old for the program but still go back to visit grandma ceil miss Kathy and miss Anneliese. What people are writing are lies and jealous of how far and fast she grew as a daycare in a very small town. We love and miss creative kidcare.
Love this daycare!! My Children have gone there for almost 5 years now. This past summer they had a blast. They treat you kid like they are family. Activities, painting, play dough everything. Not once have I seen the staff unproffesional - you can tell that they care about your child especially when you child is in love with the owner and cant wait to see her the next day! Would tell everyone tio use this place - You love it!
You all are selfish people it's not about you and the stories you hear people have personal lives get over it ,and what ever gossip you hear it's about the kids not you ! my daughter has been there since she was 6 weeks old those employees and the owner have become family to us I love them and so does my daughter they look out for not only the educational well being for my daughter but the social well being they are amazing and I love how they are like one big family. You two ppl who commented are so very wrong and it's sad I'm sure your children were treated as family just as much as mine was! I'm so appauled by these comments I'm sure if you would go there and meet everyone you would feel just as home as I did!! I love it here and so does my daughter who is now 6 and has loved it since she was a baby!
DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. The owner is nothing but a homewrecker. My understanding is that she broke up a family not too long ago and the man she is dating now is still married. She doesn't care who she hurts. She is unprofessional not to mention her bookeeping stinks and she has a gutter mouth. This place is filled with nothing but gossipy people who like to bad mouth everyone they can. I had my child enrolled for a short period of time but no longer do. BEWARE and stay clear of this place!!
I sent my child here for kindergarten thinking a private school would provide a better education than a public school. WOW I was wrong about that! Very little outside time. They let the TV baby sit the children instead of interacting with them. I couldn't even get MY OWN CHILD'S attendance record when I asked the owner Ms. Tartell. As a parent I am completely shocked by the unprofessionalism of Ms. Tartell and Creative KidKare. It should not be a problem for a school to provide a parent with as simple information as his child's attendance record. Just the other day I heard the owner cursing as she stepped off the bus within ear shot of my son. Don't waist your time or money at CREATIVE KID KARE.
