We LOVE Creative World. I cannot recommend it highly enough. We are so sad to graduate and leave…read morethis amazing school behind. Our kids: - were excited to be there every day - were surrounded by wonderful, nurturing teachers who balanced play with development. Our kids were beyond prepared for kindergarten in every sense. - made tons of friends, including from younger and older classes because there's some cross-over play time. It's small enough that every teacher knew our kids well. - loved the facility - the rooms have a super happy energy and the backyard is shady and full of activities - had the option to participate in a wide range of extra activities that the school coordinates to take place onsite - Spanish, soccer, swimming, gymnastics, dance Both of my daughters attended from age 3 onward and I only wish we'd started there sooner because the difference in their happiness between their first preschool and Creative World was so stark. We're so grateful to everyone there who played such a pivotal role in our children's lives (and ours in taking such good care of them!). We've since recommended it to a number of friends, who've all had similarly fantastic experiences.

We could not be more pleased with the two years our son spent at Creative World! The whole team was…read morevery careful with his food allergies and always provided amazing alternatives. He also really struggled with socializing and every staff member was so warm, gentle, and patient with him. Additionally, Creative World provides enrichment opportunities you can choose to have your child participate in throughout the school day such as Spanish classes, gymnastics, Soccer Shots, and swim lessons through Little Ones Swim next door. This was so helpful as a parent because he could learn different skills and it was all taken care of during the school day. Every month they send out a schedule of snacks, events, and themes for the week. They are on top of curriculum and they stick to their plans. Miss Liz also makes sure things are running smoothly and has amazing communication with the families. I would highly recommend Creative World!

Now that I'm relocating out of state to Colorado, I requested the return of the $700 deposit I paid, and they refused, saying it's "non-refundable." We're talking about daycare, not a university.

We looked long and hard for the right preschool in this area and this was definitely the one. Even…read morewhen we got into other Preschools, I stayed on the waitlist for Discovery, and I'm so glad I did. One thing I've learned about sending a little one to school is: It works best if you have a place with enough teachers who truly care about your child, and who also understand that parents (as well as kids) need some flexibility and understanding at this age... And that's what they've been with us - understanding and flexible - through the crazy local weather spells, child sicknesses... all of it. They truly embrace the concept that no two kids are the same, so you really can't force kids into some cookie-cutter template (e.g. expecting all kids to develop at the same rate, forcing them all to nap every day, etc.). I have been especially impressed with the owner, Kirsten, and the Director, Courtney - Always nice, always friendly, obviously work very hard and care about each and every student they have, etc. And this care and consideration is not only shown to my kid, but also to me, which is a breath of fresh air at an age when things can be so stressful. Would also like to add that their prices are the most reasonable you'll find and the gifts they have kids make and bring home for their parents during the holidays are absolutely delightful... Again, another sign that they not only care about your child, they care about the whole picture. Props of course as well to all of their individual hardworking teachers!

The focus is not just academic, but socially and emotionally as well. What sets this center apart is the community. It truly feels like a family. The communication with parents is outstanding, and we always feel informed, supported, and valued.

We're so grateful to be part of it!

I would not recommend this daycare based on our experience. My one-year-old nephew attended this…read morecenter, and there were multiple incidents that raised serious concerns about his care and safety. One staff member in particular frequently expressed frustration with him because he wouldn't nap and because he cried. He was only one year old, and those behaviors are completely normal for a child his age. Instead of showing patience and compassion, it felt like she viewed him as a burden. Beyond that, we noticed a lack of supervision and attentive care--not just for my nephew, but for other children as well. While the daycare provides cameras for parents to monitor their children, they unfortunately revealed concerning examples of inadequate supervision rather than providing reassurance. Our family communicated these concerns with the center multiple times and gave them opportunities to address the issues, but nothing changed. After repeated incidents and no meaningful resolution, we immediately withdrew my nephew from the daycare. I'm sharing this experience so other parents can make informed decisions. I hope the daycare takes these concerns seriously and holds staff accountable to ensure all children receive the safe, patient, and attentive care they deserve.

I would strongly look elsewhere for child care. I started bringing my 5 month old daughter (at the…read moretime) to Little Discoveries in 2025. At first, the environment seemed welcoming although I initially had a few concerns about the front door being unlocked. As soon as you open the front door, you are entering the infant room and there is zero safety precautions in place preventing any random person from entering. My husband and I also noticed that an employee often had her 3 or 4 year old son in the infant room often along with her husband. I was informed that the young boy was in the infant room only to breastfeed, however I never once observed that. The child was running and jumping around the small babies on the ground. Additionally, I was concerned about her husband being in the infant room as he was not a vetted employee. We continued to observe this but did not say anything until one day we picked up our daughter and realized she had only been fed one 6 ounce bottle in an eight hour day. The employee informed my husband our daughter was hungry and then she continued hanging out with her husband and son in the infant room. I immediately contacted Meaghan and informed her that I had an issue with the employee having family time while my daughter was not being fed. Meaghan denied knowing that the employee's husband was ever in the building and stated the young boy was only in the room to feed. Meaghan assured me that my daughter would be fed correctly and that she would inform the employee that her husband could no longer be in the room. Shortly after, it was very apparent that this employee was choosing not to take care of my child. She would consistently have diaper rashes that were so severe and red. The final straw for me was two days in a row, I entered the facility and observed the employees sitting on the couch on their cell phones scrolling. My child was sitting on the ground and I could smell poop as soon as I walked into the building. She was covered in poop, and it was old to the point where I had to scrape it off of her skin. She had such a severe diaper rash on the top of her butt and lower back that it actually is still scarred to this day. The rash was bleeding and shiny it looked like a burn. And to top it off, she had poop all over her clothing. I immediately removed my child from this day care and filed a report with the state. Meaghan lied to the social workers stating she was never aware an employee's husband was there, among other things. I would have respected Meaghan's honesty and admitting there were issues she ignored but that the employee was ultimately terminated. Instead, the employee was terminated and Meaghan denied any wrong doing. They do not do much with the children. The infants sit on the ground all day by themselves with little to no interaction besides the television. The employees are usually sitting on their phones on the couch. While it is my word versus the day care's, there are SEVERAL people that I know that have since had serious issues with the care of their child at this facility. I would highly HIGHLY recommend taking your child elsewhere.

My 2 year old daughter has been going to Forest Friends Children's House for the past 6 months or…read moreso and absolutely adores Lisa and her days spent at FFCH. I love that Lisa pays such special attention to the individual needs of each child - she has a gentle and nurturing manner as well as a teaching background and her skill and patience has resulted in excellent relationships between the kids as well as positive behaviors in my daughter. A few things I have noticed popping up "out of the blue" include everything from a lot more please and thank you (which I am not even the best at remembering myself) to only taking 3 squares of toilet paper from the roll. "1, 2, 3, pieces!" my daughter now says instead of pulling as much as she can off of the roll. It is also not uncommon to hear her singing a new song that she learned at school or to have her tell me excitedly about her adventures that day - taking the bus - playing on the swings - art projects and puppet shows to name a few. I would encourage any parent who values a calm and healthy environment for their child to meet Lisa and talk further about her values and philosophies. Forest Friends Children's House may be the perfect option for you. It is for us!
