Meh. Rates are going up in January. I absolutely loved my child's first teacher at Big Apple but…read morethe new one isn't very friendly and is just not as great as the first experience here. There was a surprise 80.00 annual fee that I just found out about when it hit my bank account. Overall its been pretty good, but all of these recent changes have me wanting to look elsewhere.

We have been thoroughly impressed with Creek. Our daughter is learning how to be independent, to…read morelearn with and alongside others, and building a strong self-concept as a result of her time at Creek. There is a 5:1 child to provider ratio and a spacious outside play area. Homecooked meals are provided for lunch and breakfast. Our daughter divides her time with mix-aged groups and same-aged groups -- giving her an opportunity to learn from older children and to practice modeling for younger children. She interacts with children from an array of different backgrounds. The teachers are caring and devoted and don't hesitate to provide feedback when asked. And it says something about the quality of a place when the shortest-tenured teacher has been working at Creek for 10 years! Creek -- though certainly more affordable -- stands out alongside higher-priced preschools in Madison.

My kids always complain when I pick them up that they need to stay a little longer and "play just a few more minutes" or "just until the end of the story". The teachers at Creek Day Scool are also the ones who really potty trained my boys and got my super picky eaters to try different foods.

My daughter attended this school from K-2nd grade. This school is currently in transition. It is…read moregetting a new addition this year that will improve handicap accessibility and add more classrooms. The PTA/PTO is mostly new moms rebooting the group. There is a new Asst. Vice Principal and P.E. teacher as of last year who seem very good. It is a very LARGE elementary school with close to 500 students (about 75-100 in each grade/22-23 per class). It has sacrificed its once large library for additional class rooms. The playground although up to code is showing it's age. The school is adjacent to Kennedy Park that has some lovely facilities. The principal and school staff works very hard with what they have and are generally supportive and friendly. Study groups and after school activities are almost non-existent. MSCR, the YMCA, Scouting groups and Girls on the Run provide outside options for these activities. The school seems to have a decent music and art program. They have a classroom dedicated to technology assisted learning using chrome books that student can use 1-2 times a week. They also have a 3D printer. All school communications are provided in either American English, Spanish or Hmong. The school offers before and after childcare and there are many in-home child providers in walking distance. (Use Nextdoor.com to access them.) The size of the school and difficulty in pick-up and drop-off from Meadowlark proved too much for us. We are looking into a smaller, more manageable environment for our children next year. I suggest parents do their research and check out all the area school alternatives when enrolling their child. MMSD home schooling and private schools such as St. Dennis Catholic, Holy Cross Lutheran and Abundant Life are popular alternatives in this area.

Their teachers do not respond to parental concerns and simply ignore you. The school appears to be great on the surface until you listen the students speaking of inappropriate off topic discussions with their students. Funding probably is their concerns as well poor staffing... so they are like the rest of the public schools these days... such a shame for a nice community.
