I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The moment my child started going to Creative Learning Hands I saw a change on how much happier she was there than at her previous childcare. The staffing there is wonderful and takes the time to learn each child’s individual needs. It used to be a battle every morning when dropping her off at daycare but since attending there she’s happy and excited to go play with her friends. I truly have no worries that she’s being well taken care of which makes any parent rest easy while trying to work.

Most unprofessional daycare. Gave an effective today letter about terminating my child from there services. Say they are a 4 c daycare but doesnt follow the 4 c policies. Also leave small children unattended multiple times though out the day as well as in the restrooms. Would not recommend too anyone

I am so happy to have found Creative Learning! As my hours vary so much the flexibility was perfect- particularly when I have to work over! My toddler has learned so much I'm surprised all the time at the things she knows. She comes home singing her favorite nursery rhymes. I love getting notifications from their Facebook page so I can see what she's doing while I'm away. It's been a great experience for her to make some friends and she's always excited to go back.
