They are the best, loving, caring, and incredible teachers who genuinely pour their hearts into everything they do. We absolutely love this place and feel completely at ease knowing our son Cameron is safe, supported, and so well taken care of. What we appreciate most is how the entire staff makes you feel like family. We also love the wonderful families/classmates our son goes to school with. Such a tight knit group of kids. We are truly blessed to have found Kids 'R' Kids Southshore!

This establishment is dirty and the staff lack empathy and compassion for children. As a paying customer, I was very displeased with the lack of communication I received. I asked about food menus and was told they didn't have any. The "curriculum" that was advertised was essentially non-existent. The care that my child received was inadequate and I am very unhappy that we spent our money here. After taking my child here for 2 days we decided that he needed to receive better care elsewhere. This place is terrible and I don't recommend it to anyone. As a teacher myself, I know what a welcoming school should be like and this place is NOT it.

On VPK she came home with homework every week, and you know what, thanks to these homework and the lessons at school, my kid gets the very high score at the Star test and remarkable achievement. I am so surprised of how knowledgeable she obtained from her teachers. Not only the school is great at academy, but also it provides a fun and positive atmosphere and environment. The staff are super nice and friendly, they know all of the students and always say hello to you and the kids. I highly recommend this school to the parents seeking a safe, academically rigorous and joyful environment for their kids.

They're so sweet and they truly care about the kids' health, wellbeing, and educational foundation.

The center itself is setup very nice and is clean. The classrooms are inviting, colorful, and the walls display the many projects the children work on while at school. The outside play area is amazing. It is very big, there is a lot to do, and is catered to the various ages of the children with different sections. The teaching here is fantastic. We were very lucky for my daughter to be placed in with Ms. Shelby, even though I have heard great things about the other VPK teachers as well. My daughter adores her teacher. She is a veteran teacher who knows how to connect well with her students. I can see how they all quickly attach themselves to her. She is great when it comes to communicating and interacting with them. My daughter has learned so much in her class. I am very proud of what she has been able to accomplish and seeing her progress in various subjects is exciting. I can only speak on behalf of a parent of a vpk child, but apart from vpk, this is a daycare as well. The center does many fun things with the children and every event they have here is catered to all of the kids. They have done something fun and family oriented for just about every holiday and will have special events from time to time that coincide with what the students are learning that week. There are plenty of chances for parents to volunteer their time here which is great. The staff involves themselves with the parents and care givers very nicely but there is room for improvement. I will say that I wish there was just a bit more communication when it comes to what the kids do on a daily basis in vpk. My daughter being 4 will do a million and one cool things at school but once she comes home, she has no clue what happened no matter how many unique questions I ask her and in various forms. When I go to the school and see inside the classroom, I get a better idea of how the day goes and all the great work Ms. Shelby puts in with her students. It would be nice to receive something concrete showing a schedule from the school with what they typically do first thing in the morning and sequentially after that. It is briefly discussed when meeting the teacher for the first time, but there is so much to take in that day that it is too much for the parents to be expected to remember it all. I also don't hear much about how my daughter does in school both emotionally and physically. What she really needs work on vs what she does great in (apart from what I observe at home and what I receive after a major state exam). I was told that I could sit in on the teacher and watch during the day to see what goes on, but I have another child and can't do that. What if I worked during the day? Plus, sitting in on the class would be disruptive to the teacher and students in my opinion. Apart from better communication, the center is very well run, organized, has caring staff, and proves to be involved in the education and care of each individual child. So far, I would recommend this center to another parent.

Ms. Noris is an absolute gem and so personable that I literally felt at home, or that I somehow knew her... I just knew this was the place! The entire staff is great! They're super attentive with the kids and work one-on-one with sensory games, singing, dancing, etc. The facility is super safe with an app for check in/out, and that monitors your child's daily activities (feedings, diaper changes, etc.). They also have a camera system which is an absolute plus!! I recently learned they also offer a Parents Night Out once a month! I LOVE looking at all of the photos the teachers snap throughout the day as well; surely helps when we can't be with them while at work. If you're searching for a daycare/preschool, hands down, this is the ONE!

Drop off here was pretty convenient Electric sign in and sign out with cubbies for each kid for their personal belongings. We used this preschool for a time and it was convenient for my older child to be picked up at the elementary school and walked over until I was able to pick up both of them. The playgrounds are newer and well-maintained and care for brightly colored lots of engaging toys all age-appropriate for enrichment and development. Another great feature they have a full kitchen and all meals are prepared on site so the kids can have hot fresh lunches.

The struggle is very real, to get a child that is attached to mom in the door to drop them off any where and all the staff have been so helpful and understanding. When my son comes home from school he is always happy, talks about all the things he learned and all the friends, and all social aspects (who the line leader was that day, who blew a fit, who got to do housekeeping). I think it is awesome they pick a topic every month, ex. In The Trees. So that month they learn about whats in the trees. ex. All About Me. So that month they talk and learn more about themselves. I walked into creative world when we moved here two years ago, and every place else around here was not as warm, or fun looking enough for my son. I really appreciate the staff and how they have treated my family. Things that are neat * Fingerprints to get in and out of school #greatsecurity *Ground rules for the school's expectations from the parents and kids, which is great to keep your child safe. * Awesome app to communicate with school, and you even get pictures of what they did in their activities. Emails and reminders! *hand washing *fun events *utilizing paint, sand, foam, to do letters *name writing *They get homework *show and tell *playground and outside activities *dancing *birthday celebrations They come up with really awesome ideas how to teach, I would of never thought of having my son shape letters in paint or foam. or attaching paper to fence to have them paint outside, and draw outside. Our world is hectic and I am happy that creative world takes the time to come up with some really unique learning activities! I am so happy thus far! Thank you guys! *The Keens*

Never had a day where my kid was good today always had something to say about behavior and disciplinaries that should be followed at home, yet upon return home I notice none of the feedback the teachers give me or other parents. most staff will watch your kids outside of the building for cheaper as well so what's the point of the facility when I have an employee come cut my grapes for my son at home yet the facility can't cut grapes, provide the safety for my child let alone look after them. I am typing this up as a frustrated parent in concern that there needs to be entire overhaul of their curriculums, as well as replacing majority of the staff with people capable and sensible of not only working with our children but also able to work cohesively as a team and make proactive contributions to the lives of our children by inspiring and instructing them, Not being upset at the parents for not providing the necessities that should have already been provided.
