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.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
