We did a ton of research before carefully selecting CELC, and the tour confirmed our findings! We're so happy to have found CELC and feel great knowing he's in good hands with all the teachers here. Daily communication is fantastic and all the teachers are great at letting us know any changes or advice they might have. It's such a warm and welcoming environment it's no surprise that our son LOVES going in every day. 10/10 would recommend.
Nathan GerredJan 29, 2025As a first-time mom, finding the right daycare was a nerve-wracking decision, but CELC has truly been a blessing! The staff here are absolutely amazing—so kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in working with parents to meet every child’s needs. From the very beginning, they made me feel comfortable and confident, guiding me every step of the way as my baby grew. Thanks to their thoughtful curriculum, my child's development has been remarkable. From sitting up to walking, talking, singing songs, and developing social skills, CELC has played a huge role in their progress. Family and friends constantly comment on how advanced my child seems, and I know it’s all thanks to the care and dedication of this center. Now, I’m onto my second child attending CELC, and I couldn’t be happier. I also love the app they use to keep parents updated throughout the day—it’s such a thoughtful way to stay connected to my child’s care and activities while they’re there. I truly can’t recommend CELC enough. It’s a wonderful place where children thrive, and I feel so fortunate to have them as part of my parenting journey.
Natalie Vang WillisJan 27, 2025Before enrolling our son in daycare, we did a lot of research and took a lot of tours of daycares in the area, but we knew from the moment we walked into Creative Explorers Learning Center for the tour that it was the place for our family. The owner and teachers are so welcoming and warm every day. It truly feels like home away from home. It’s very clear our son enjoys his time there every day and loves every teacher he has had there. My husband and I love them too! They are great with communicating daily and are very receptive whenever there any needs/requests/concerns regarding our son. It is such a great feeling when we drop our son off every day knowing he is so well cared for in a safe, loving, and educational environment. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of the CELC family.
Jenna CookJan 24, 2025We couldn’t be happier with our choice to bring our daughter here! I was so anxious for that first day after only 3 months with my little one, but immediately felt the care and support of her teachers after that first drop off. My husband and I noticed that the general vibe there is so positive and the other kids seem so happy. I love that they use an app to track everything from diaper changes to bottles to naps, and even send a picture or two throughout the day. There’s nothing more reassuring than seeing her having a blast while we’re at work. CELC truly feels like an extension of our family!
Stephanie BeltranJan 24, 2025Our son looks forward to going to daycare every day! The staff at Creative Explorers go above and beyond to teach him in a truly holistic way that is giving him a nurturing, active and engaging experience. It gives us such peace of mind to know that we’ve found a place where he is safe, supported, and cared for in a personalized way. CELC is the real deal!
Mike GreuelJan 22, 2025Our son has been attending since he was 5 months old and wouldn't be who he is today without CELC! Their communication, attention to details, daily schedule and developmental activities for our son allow us to have peace of mind when we drop him off in the morning. The entire staff are invested not only in our son, but in our family life outside of the center & have become our second family! We wouldn't send him anywhere else and are so blessed we found CELC!

Is CREATIVE EXPLORERS LEARNING CENTER a licensed child care provider in Wisconsin?
- CREATIVE EXPLORERS LEARNING CENTER holds Wisconsin licence 2000588182-001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families in Milwaukee County, licensed since 2014-05-20. Confirm current standing on the state's provider search at childcarefinder.wisconsin.gov before enrolling.
What is CREATIVE EXPLORERS LEARNING CENTER's YoungStar rating?
- YoungStar rates CREATIVE EXPLORERS LEARNING CENTER 5 stars out of five. The rating covers staff education, the learning environment, business practices and child well-being, not inspection outcomes, and it is separate from the licence.
What are CREATIVE EXPLORERS LEARNING CENTER's hours?
- The state directory lists 06:00 AM-06:00 PM, Jan-Dec, full time. Wisconsin records the daily window but not which days it applies to, and hours change without the licence record changing, so call ahead.
What ages does CREATIVE EXPLORERS LEARNING CENTER take?
- The licence covers 4 weeks to 12 years. That is the span Wisconsin licenses the provider for, not a list of the rooms it runs, so ask which age groups it is actually staffing.
Does this page show inspection results for CREATIVE EXPLORERS LEARNING CENTER?
- No. Wisconsin publishes licensing violations for each provider, and none of them are included here, so nothing on this page reflects CREATIVE EXPLORERS LEARNING CENTER's inspection history either way. Read the violation record on the state's provider search at childcarefinder.wisconsin.gov.
