What California does not publish here

The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.

  • I started my journey with Creart back in 2015 with my first born child. Being a first time parent and not having personal experience on what to look for in a child care facility made me a bit nervous, on top of my attachment issues. It was hard for me to leave my child with anyone who wasn’t family. Paty went over her child care program routines, introduced me to the staff and made me feel I could trust them with my child. From the first day my child attended Creart, they kept me informed by text or talking to me at pick up time of how my child did during the day. They shared picture of my child’s developing growth and any accomplishment my child made. Their curriculum includes, creative art, outside playing, multicultural activities and much more. When my child was diagnosed with Speech Delay and learning disabilities at age of 2, Paty facilitated his services by allowing the specialists to evaluate and provide his therapies at the child care facility. From day one, they were very supportive. Two years later, my second child started Creart. My experience didn’t changed. Both of my children loved their child care, their teachers and the experience they had while at Creart. They loved looking at their photo albums and remembering their preschool days. On early school dismissal, they come to visit their preschool teachers and pick up their little brother. Creart has been more than just a quality child care facility for us, they are family ♥️

  • We feel so lucky to have found CreArt for our son. Every morning, he lights up with the biggest smile and laugh as we get closer to the school—especially when he spots his teachers. It’s clear how much joy and security he feels there. Pati, the owner, is a true angel on earth. She deeply connects with every child and pours her heart and soul into making CreArt a loving, creative, and nurturing environment. You can feel the care in every corner of the school. We only wish our older kids had started their preschool years at Creart. It truly is a special place.

  • Both of our boys have attended CreArt and we can’t say enough amazing things about it. The teachers are kind, loving and nurturing. When I leave my babies with them I know they will be loved, safe and well taken care of and that’s what matters most to me. Pati has gone the great lengths to even build a playground that is made of wood and incorporates the outdoors, rather than a giant plastic structure similar to all others. It is a wonderful community and we love being a part of it!

  • Both my daughters have gone to CreArt. My wife and I love the school and all the teachers. They do creative art everyday and do a lot of outdoor activities. Sometimes there’s professionals who talk about recycling, dental hygiene, and nutrition. There’s also a music teacher that comes on Mondays. It’s really cute to see the videos of the kids singing a long to the songs. You always get to see pictures and videos of your kids everyday. Mrs. Patricia is great keeping you updated on your child’s progress especially if they are new to the school. One of the reasons we choose CreArt was seeing how diverse the school was. Mrs.Patricia has done an amazing job creating a small inclusive community. They also have volunteer days that parents help out at school. Being involved helps me support my child to be in a safe and beautiful environment to grow in. My eldest daughter is in kindergarten but loves coming back just to play. It’s one of her safe spaces.

  • CreArt has been a true blessing for my family! As an anxious mom, placing my daughter in daycare was one of the hardest experiences of my life. I toured so many centers in Marin, but none felt quite right—until I met Patricia and her amazing team at CreArt. From the moment my husband and I walked in for our tour, I knew we had found the place. The rooms are bright and filled with natural colors, the toys are thoughtfully chosen, and everything is designed to help children thrive. But what stood out the most was the love and dedication of the teachers. You can see how much they love what they do, and that’s the most important thing when it comes to caring for children. Patricia has always made my family feel seen. Her gentle approach helped ease my daycare anxiety, and it gave me so much peace to know my daughter was in such a nurturing space. Every day, as I dropped off my baby, I felt reassured—knowing she was safe, hugged, nurtured, and truly loved. I will always be grateful for CreArt and the foundation it has given my daughter. If you are searching for a daycare where your child will be cherished, supported, and encouraged to grow, look no further—this is the place.

  • Both of my kids attended CreArt from an early age (my youngest was 10 months) and I am incredibly grateful for the peace-of-mind Pati and the whole school gave us. The teachers are incredibly warm and caring, the environment is clean and safe, and they spend lots of time outdoors (weather permitting) which was very important to us. There are often times my children want to stay with the teachers instead of going home, which shows how happy they are there! The school has become family to us, and it was very bittersweet when my oldest (who had attended CreArt for almost 4 years!) graduated to go to kindergarten. We are glad that our youngest is still attending this wonderful school! Pati puts so much love and care into the school, and we are so lucky that we could join such a welcoming community.
