  We thought we knew what to expect from preschool, having already sent our older son through one when we lived in a different city, but Creative Child Preschool in Temple City still managed to pleasantly surprise us. I hope this review helps other parents new to the area see what a gem this school has been for busy parents like ourselves. First is the schedule. Drop-off starts earlier than most other schools in the area, and pick-up is any time before 6pm. This translate to tangible flexibility for two working parents. We'd heard about, and experienced, other preschools with shorter hours that even take weeks off for spring and winter break like the public school calendar. Believe me when I say I'm eternally grateful we never had to manage those schedule gaps with Creative Child. Next is the physical space. The school itself feels like a home, each room beautifully decorated and cozy. The school yard is huge, with swings, slides, and a sandbox. Whenever we visit, my daughter is running and jumping through the yard with her friends like it's her own personal jungle gym. There are also add-ons we could opt into throughout the week. My daughter looked forward to Tuesday tap dancing every single week, along with Mandarin and My Gym classes. These are activities right on campus during school hours. Outside of school hours, we even got to invite her grandparents to her tap recital, and it turned into such a great family bonding moment. Creative Child doesn't feel like just a place to drop off your kid. I appreciate how intentional they are about pulling parents into the experience all year long. I did a mechanical bull ride with my daughter on Father's Day. We built gingerbread houses together during the holidays. The summer calendar get even better with magician, petting zoo, splash days, and more! The teachers are superstars here. The school is intimate enough that the teachers are familiar to all the kids, even if they're not the primary instructor for their class. So as my daughter moved up each year, she was never meeting anyone brand new, just a familiar face she hadn't had as her main teacher yet. Ms. Denise, Ms. Annie, Mr. Viet, Ms. Sharon, Ms. Susan, Ms. Jessica and Ms. Giselle all became familiar to her over the years, and I think that consistency built so much of her confidence. My daughter had trouble pronouncing her "s" sounds early on, enough that we got a professional consult just to be safe. Once she started in the Imagineer class with Ms. Denise, her speech noticeably improved week after week. I felt like she's already performing at a kindergarten level even though she's not even at that age yet. And the food deserves a mention. Ms. Rosie runs the kitchen, and she's a magician. My daughter won't touch oatmeal at home, but somehow cleans her bowl at school. We joke that we need to steal the recipes from Ms. Rosie someday, because the quality of meals in the public school system isn't even close in comparison. Lastly, getting to know the other families in our cohort made it clear we'd landed somewhere special. So many families here are rooted in the local community, and I learned so much just from talking to other parents, tips on neighborhood activities, what to expect once public school starts, from families with older siblings already there. Those are the invisible benefits nobody tells you when searching for a preschool. Creative Child gave us the school part and the community part, and we're genuinely going to miss it when she finally graduates and enter the public school system. Creative Child Temple City simply exceeded our expectations in every way!

  Our child had a truly wonderful experience at Creative Child. It is such a vibrant, positive environment that provides children the perfect space to grow and thrive. The teaching team: Ms. Susan, Ms. Sharon, Mr. Viet, Ms. Giselle, Ms. Annie, and Ms. Denise are absolutely amazing and incredibly nurturing. We are deeply grateful for the genuine care and support they provided our daughter. Beyond the classroom, the school offers a fantastic variety of enrichment activities, from ballet and Mandarin to exciting visits from the petting zoo. These experiences, along with the many celebratory events throughout the year, create a wonderful sense of community where parents and children can truly engage together. We couldn't have asked for a better start for our child!

  I can’t really emphasize enough how amazing this school is. All of the teachers here are great and they’re always doing so many fun activities with kids/parents. It’s a very open and inviting atmosphere with a great outdoor play area. I love the no shoes in classrooms. My child rarely got sick here. Compared to his last school where he was sick every other week and even contacted HFM. Big thanks to Ms.Susan, Ms. Giselle and Ms.Annie! I know Alan’s wild and a handful so we really appreciate it.

  Both our girls who had attended class at Creative Child enjoyed time here and even our eldest said he wished he had come to this school. Sad to say today's our youngest last day here after 2 full years. She started from being shy and needing to be dragged in to school each morning crying to confident and wanting to say goodbye to each and every teacher at the end of each day. Shout out to all the teachers and staff. Thank you for everything you do! The school has many events, recitals and special experiences for the kids throughout the year and the director throws some awesome parties. We also love and look forward to the annual class and Xmas photos as they are always outstanding. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this intimate class setting as we've had a great experience over the years.

  I tried to find a preschool that my son would like. There were a few and he was crying in the morning and didn't want to go at all until I found this place, Creative Child Preschool. It's amazing. He came home happy every evening. They have different activities every day and my son loves it. He even told me to send his little brother to this school too. Thank you Ms. Denise and other teachers, they take good care of our kids. They are wonderful.

  Creative Child is the best school in the San Gabriel Valley. The director and staff are so welcoming and knowledgeable. My child has evolved from a shy introvert to a leader. They run such an enrich program. Can't say enough good things about this school.
