  I have twin girls who are attending. No better feeling being able to walk away and know your kids are safe. My girls been attending for a few months and I am thankful for all the staff! Highly recommend if you’re looking for an English/ Spanish base daycare!

  We have had an excellent experience with Creative Minds providing daycare services for our son. He has been going since he was 5 months old and everyone has been incredibly kind, caring, and offering a safe and supportive environment for our son. We couldn't be happier having them in our neighborhood!

  We sent both our kids to this absolutely wonderful place for just over two years. I can't sing its praises enough. The teachers, the staff, the director, all of them are the just the most loving possible caregivers you can dream up. And the staff clearly loves the place too, because I don't think there was a single teacher that left the school over that time. This place is truly one of a kind, and it is in our humble opinion the best possible place for a kid in this city.

  My daughter went here for 2+ years. Of the 4 different childcare places between my 2 daughters that we went to, Creative Minds has easily been the best one. It is very clean, organized and well run. The kids seem to love it, and best of all, the teachers and administrators truly care about the kids! We'll miss it there.

  Our family is so incredibly grateful for this amazing daycare! We currently have two kids attending Creative Minds - one daughter who has attended since she was 3 months old and she is now thriving in their Pre-K program. All of the staff is incredibly kind and accommodating and they truly love all of the kids in their care. We have been so impressed with the creative art projects and spanish immersion. Intermixed with art and play, they have also taught our daughter so many of the beginning concepts for literacy, math, and science (as well as social and personal development skills) that I know she will be able to confidently go into a Pre-K 4 or Kindergarten classroom with no issue. They go out of their way to do fun events for the kids and our kids genuinely love going there everyday. We highly recommend this daycare.

  My child attended Creative Minds for almost 5 years before heading off to PreK, and we have had an absolutely wonderful experience with them. The Spanish immersion piece is fabulous, as she can understand now when she hears Spanish (and often comes home with new Spanish songs). The children often do creative art projects and learn so much (from letters and numbers, to how to write their names). They get good outdoor play time and learn how to relate to their peers. Communication is good with the director and the teachers, and there are regular parent teacher conferences. They have also been very flexible in adapting to our needs as a family when things come up. There are also opportunities to come and see the center during open houses, and they periodically have other fun activities for families. Highly recommend Creative Minds as an option for your child!
