I can recommend this school to all parents without any concern. My son visited Marketplace Creative School from 2009 until 2012 and the staff is wonderful with children. The programs in the individual class rooms are age appropriate and my son loved to be there. We visited quite a few day care centers in Fayetteville before we decided which one would be the best for our child and the first impression we received at this school was the best within the Cross Creek Area. Price might be a little higher than the other schools but you can already see when entering the building that the money is well spend and not lost in the pockets of the owner. The welcome area, hallway, class rooms are decorated colorful and the toy/art selection in each class room is great. This school would always be my number one choice if needed again.
