Creative Years Child Development & Learning Center

I can’t say enough great things about Creative Years. When I was looking for a daycare, I asked around and there wasn’t a single negative thing said about this place. It is clean, the children are happy, the teachers are amazing, and they have great staff to children ratios. My son absolutely loves it there. I feel he is very safe in their care. They charge per spot, so even if you only work three days a week, you pay for five days. This is because it’s more of a “school” and they need steady revenue to pay for the facility and their staff.

I became sick from a chronic illness in February and was in and out of the hospital, so my mom came to stay with us and take care of my daughter. I went to the daycare in person and expressed that I would be pulling my daughter out until the end of summer, as I am a teacher, and asked if there would be any issue with her returning in the fall. I was told it would be absolutely no issue, we hold spots for teachers all the time, just put the automatic payment on hold and we will send out forms about spot deposits for the next year in august. Last week I went in to put the deposit down for my daughters spot and was told there were no spots remaining. When I expressed that I had been told (by the very worker now telling me they were full) that they saved spots for teachers, I was told “yes but it’s this whole process where you meet with our director and accounting.” I understand the need for procedures but if that is the case why was that not expressed when I asked if returning would be an issue? I ended up scrounging and trying to find a daycare 2 weeks before the school year, which I thankfully did. when we were going there they also would message me 2-3 times a week claiming that my daughter was vomiting multiple times day, which never occurred at home and somehow conveniently stopped altogether when she stopped going there. I also personally witnessed a staff kissing newborns (hello RSV??) and had to ask her directly to please not kiss my child…during the pandemic. I’d recommend anyone going here not take what they say in good faith and make sure you get everything you’re told in person in writing. Also be prepared to get a ton of messages about health issues your kid never seems to have at home.

Very happy with the daycare, the best! Before I have chosen I have visited a few other places, and this one is the best! We have started to attend another pretty good place for a couple of month but then creative years has gotten free spot for my son and we have switched right away. They have very nice staff. Teacher of my son Abbey is just awesome, I could not wish better care person for my son! And other staff members are very wonderful! The daycare has pool, gym, they have very clean playground, u can compare- my son have attended another place for couple of months and they had sand, he was dirty all the time. When we started to visit creative years I can see that my son is clean and full and happy all the time and in the morning when I say we go to see Abbey he’s happy so I use this trick to get him ready sooner. Great daycare, I’m very happy!

Not a great daycare. They don’t pay attention to the kids.. My child would come home with her shoes on the wrong feet and I did a random pop in and watched the class shortly after drop off one day and she was just sitting there crying with no one giving a care.. Finally got her switched to a different daycare and she loves it there. She literally skips into the classroom.

I am very pleased with my experience thus far with this daycare. My infant son started in January and I have been very happy. The women in the infant room are very nice and consistent. He settled in nicely after adjusting for the first few weeks and always seems happy when I pick him up. I also love the general feel of the school. It has a warm and fuzzy vibe that some of the other chains/local daycares didn't have. I have only experienced the infant room so far, but it seems as if the other teachers/staff are very nice as well.
