I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Our daughter attended Creative Beginnings from Infant to Prek. The staff was awesome , loving , caring , and most important teaching. Our daughter was clearly ahead of others when starting public school.

This place is a joke. The owners are hardly ever there, but if they are you can find them barely dressed! This place is all about the money and less about best practice and children's best interest.

About the Provider

Here at Creative Beginnings, we feel a child-center approach is the most effective way for teaching young children. We incorporate natural surroundings into our classroom and encourage social interaction among the children. Each child brings with them to the Center individual qualities that add to the uniqueness of our program.We support the presence of parents/guardians and are willing to provide assistance to families in situations that warrant added or unique support.
