We love CSP! Since the day we brought out little one to CSP, we knew they were in good hands. The teachers took them in like they were their own. From helping them develop skills and learn several different milestones as she grew - it's been fantastic. They care for our little one who hugs their teachers daily. I cannot recommend this place more!
Emily UligianJul 23, 2026My child has attended creative scholars since he was 3 months old. I was the parent who was on the fence about putting a 12 week old in daycare, and let me say I’m so glad I did. I can’t say enough about this place! The teachers and staff are absolutely incredible. They are attentive and plan lessons every day! My child has matured so quickly and continues to acquire new skills each week. The teachers update you through the entire day along with pictures of what your child is doing ,which is reassuring as a parent . When my child needed some physical therapy, they immediately jumped in and asked how they could continue to help during the day with exercises etc. If you are on the fence about a daycare , or even wondering if you should get a full time nanny etc, my recommendation is creative scholars 🙌🏻
Lauren GasparJul 14, 2026Our family has had a great experience with creative scholars preschool. The staff is friendly and very supportive. We love knowing that our son is cared for and safe. He has learned so much and made so many friends. We highly recommend creative scholars to anyone looking into early education.
Ana HernandezJul 13, 2026We absolutely love Creative Scholars! The teachers are incredible. They're so thoughtful, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth. You can really feel how much they care. They also do a great job communicating with families and keeping us updated throughout the day. We love all the picture and lesson updates. The environment is warm, clean, and welcoming. It’s clear a lot of thought goes into creating meaningful activities for the kids. The playspace is a huge highlight. Our child looks forward to it every day. We couldn’t be happier with our experience here!
Liz GoldenMar 30, 2026Creative Scholars Preschool is an exceptional daycare that has been a perfect fit for both our children. The engaging curriculum fosters creativity and learning, while the caring staff provides a nurturing environment. We appreciate the clean, safe facilities and excellent communication with parents. Our older child thrived here, and now our younger one is having an equally positive experience. What truly stands out is how much both our kids love going there every day - they're always excited for it! The consistent quality and positive impact on our children's development make it easy to recommend Creative Scholars to other families. It's truly a place where young minds flourish and children are happy to attend!
Elaine LiAug 30, 2024We have 2 girls. One went to Creative Scholars for 4 years before heading to PreK, and it was a no brainer where we would send our second daughter! We love this school and it’s been so wonderful to have teachers our older daughter had watch over our 4 month old. They do a great job of play based learning which has instilled a love of school into my older daughter. The owners Mark and Della have always had a family first mentality and the director had been a constant great influence on center culture. We love the activities that they help support for families as well making it a great environment and community. I couldn’t recommend it more!
