She is involved with all the children, takes a hands on approach to ensuring they succeed as well as treats each child like her own. This permeates down to the teachers, who are so loving and caring, it made me feel comfortable knowing my son was in their care. He was so prepared and ready to take on kindergarten, I couldn't imagine starting school without creative world.

I called, and they welcomed me for a tour. They are welcoming and have been updating the activities and curriculum for the kids over the past few years. Liz and the staff always strive to improve the daycare. A huge plus is the neighboring Little One Swim's, where kids can practice swimming. They also offer soccer shots, dance, Spanish, and other additional activities for an additional fee. Annually, they have Father's Day lunches and muffins with mothers, as well as other activities to celebrate with the kids.

Every time I walk in, it's clear that the kids are genuinely happy. My child, in particular, loves the friendships she's forming and is even learning to be bilingual at just 3 years old! The biggest little learning center focuses on child growth and development though play and individual leaning aid. I truly feel that this is an incredible asset for my daughter's growth as she continues to get older. The director fosters a supportive environment by encouraging staff to further their education and engage in personal development. She collaborates with state programs to ensure success, which leads to better outcomes for child care. The low turnover rate and happy staff make a huge difference--it's clear that the staff genuinely care about the children, which provides peace of mind for parents. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their children!

DO NOT RECOMMEND…read more They overcharged us one week tuition when we were no longer enrolled. This was 6 weeks ago. We called over 10 times and sent multiple emails and literally get a different BS explanation every time or no answer at all. They don't have an answering machine or service and are super unresponsive. I'm officially reporting them to the better business bureau for refusing to refund the money they owe us. Not great - you're getting what you pay for. This is definitely more of a daycare than a school, there was no curriculum and no emphasis on learning that I witnessed at all. Also, the staff is super inconsistent on logging activity in the app. Most days, I had no idea if he had a nap or eaten normally. The facility is very dirty, even the director's office when you walk in is filthy. They keep all of the children in one tiny room most of the time with very little to engage them. Our two-year-old was kept with much younger children and picked up terrible habbits in the one month he was there including hitting and screaming. The staff would always say he had a good day, but half the time he was crying when we picked him up which is not his usual demeanor. My husband also witnessed a much older child (belonging to a staff member) hitting smaller children on the very first drop off day and no one interviened. The tuition is low and they include snacks and meals, but they aren't nutritions options I would choose at home

Our experience wasn't as positive. My first negative was not receiving the invitation email to the…read moreopen house prior to school beginning. After expressing my disappointment that the email never arrived to my inbox (or a number of parents' apparently), they were unapologetic and just said I "couldn't do preschool wrong." And so we showed up 5 minutes early on the first day (expecting instruction to begin at 8:30 and dropoff to be taking place then...but the parking lot was empty). I felt stupid ringing the doorbell, having seen teachers already enter the door, and having no one respond. I was new and this surely didn't sit well. Perhaps we were early, but considering I missed the open house to an internal error, perhaps explaining the rules 5 minutes early on day 1 would've been more inviting to a brand new family. Perhaps I could "do preschool wrong" after all. This was my son's third preschool. I have a lot of experience in school settings. He went to a fabulous 2yo program in IL, then paid public preschool and since we moved here recently and all the programs were about full, we had few options. I went on a whim and signed up here. Maybe it's a local culture thing (coming from CA and IL), but I'm an elementary school teacher myself and the structure and schedule were much too lax. Drop-off was "anytime between 8:30 and 9:30" and "we start instruction sometime between 9:30 and 10", which meant the first hour + was glorified daycare. Some days he would be the only student there for the first half hour! I didn't feel this program would adequately prepare my Pre-K student (who thrives on schedules and activities) for real Kindergarten and rigorous standards next year. I am definitely hyper vigilant (and maybe a little tiger mom) being a teacher myself, but with the laissez faire approach, it likely fit other families better than our family. I guess first impressions really do stick, because we just never quite got our groove after that first day and are now sending our son to another program that he is absolutely loving.

I have to say that it has been such an amazing experience. Miss Jamie, the director, is great and all of the teachers are wonderful.

Miss Fran, her teacher, is great with children and is still always doing fun activities, singing songs and coming up with creative ways to teach the kids. The preschool is located on Mount Rose highway and is very easy to get to if you live in the South Reno area.

This was our first daycare and decided to try it out with a referral from a family member. Our…read moredaughter was 2 years old to at the start of her time there. We loved our first teacher, Mrs. Debbie. She was very understanding and helpful as we were first time parents and this was all new to us. Also, Mrs. Camille was very helpful as we understood our daughter can be hard headed at times so she was very understanding. Unfortunately, that's really where our good experiences stopped. I will spare the paragraphs and paragraphs of complaints I can list, but to make it short, my wife and I were constantly reminded of how much of a "troublemaker" our daughter was. We would consistently receive attitude and dirty looks when our daughter did not have a good day. We also were potty training and got to a good point where she was having no accident overnight or during the day during the 2 week winter break and that's is when she was moved to the "3's classroom." Upon returning to school she regressed significantly and constantly complained of rashes and pain, and we were blamed for this regression and told that if she does not improve, they would "not be able to accommodate her in this facility." The end our experience was when we received a call that we needed to meet with the director upon picking up our daughter. That day, we met in a room and I was told that our daughter choked another child (which she has NEVER done that at home or anywhere for that matter) and handed 6 MONTHS worth of "discipline issues" that we were never asked to meet about before. They told us that that day was her last day and that she was not to return to the school. From our perception, it seemed that her "behavior issues" were less behavior problems, and more a lack of stimulation/ wasn't the typical easy child that will just sit and be quiet. Our daughter has since started at a new school and has not had any of the issues listed above, and in fact we are told every week how good she is doing and how much fun she is having. At home since starting the new school we have been amazed at how much she has learned and how much she loves going to school.
