Hello Parents,

We are so very excited to say that we are OPEN!!! Contact us as soon as possible to register or schedule a tour.

At Creative Kids of Downingtown, we recognize the important role our center plays in providing exceptional care and education for your children, a safe and supportive environment for our teachers and employees, and service and commitment to the community in which we operate.

We continue to monitor and adhere to all guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and U.S. government to ensure that we are taking all necessary preventative measures and acting on each directive that affects our center.

We have always maintained the highest standards in cleaning and safety protocols for our center, and we know that keeping it clean and sanitized is even more important now. In addition to our daily cleaning and sanitizing efforts, we are increasing the frequency of cleaning and sanitizing in our center throughout the day, including deep cleaning procedures. Our teachers and employees will also be wearing masks and social distancing will be maintained. Our center is also now equipped with a staff attended, isolated, wellness room to care for any child, teacher or employee that exhibits any COVID-19 symptoms until they or the child’s parent can bring them home. We want you to feel comfortable that we are working diligently to provide a safe and healthy environment where your child spends their day.

Sincerely,
Creative Kids Management

FEATURED TESTIMONIAL

Swisher Family

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Creative Kids. I love that they treat us like family. My daughter was 4 and my son was 6 months when we started at the center They are now 6 and 2. My daughter is in Kindergarten and thriving thanks to everyone who worked with her. She often asks to go back and visit. My son still attends and is very happy and well adjusted. The center is very clean. Making the right decision about who to trust with your kids is hard, but Creative Kids has been the right decision for our family.

Lisa, Kevin, and Landon Murphy

Dear Creative Kids Teachers, Thank you for taking such great care of our Landon. Your kindness and understanding of our situation helped us more than you know! Landon's happiness and comfort is our #1 priority - his transition to Creative kids was easy because of all of you. We know he receives the best care and education because everyone at Creative Kids has passion and heart for the children. Being working parents is tough but we know that Landon is in great hands! Thank you again for all that you have done for our family

Stacy, Joe, Ryan, and Leah

Dear Joanne, Donna, and Jim: Ryan has attended Creative Kids since he was 10 weeks old. Along the way, you have watched him grow from a premature baby to a thriving active 4 year old boy. You have been there for him as he learned to smile, roll, sit and walk. You have helped him learn his ABC's, to make friends, to sing and dance, and to use the potty! For all of this we are eternally grateful. Although you have only known our Leah for the past 5 months, we see that she is a happy and interactive baby and we know she is well cared for by you. While our move to New Jersey is good for our family at this time, we will certainly miss Creative Kids. So please accept this gift and continue to love and encourage children to enjoy reading, music { put that piano to good use! }, knowledge, and creativity. Thank you!

Creative Kids of Downingtown Child Care Center is Licensed by the PA Department of Human Services as a Child Care Facility. Additionally, we are licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education as a Private Academy to provide Care and Education for the children of our community.

We strive to help each child achieve their greatest potential throughout their creative years. We believe that children learn best when their physical and psychological needs are met. Children need to know that their school is a safe place where there is an abundance of love, education, and safety.

At Creative Kids we recognize that our children develop at an individual rate. Our focus is on appropriate activities that furnish appropriate challenges at all age levels.

We recognize that each child in our care is a special individual and is always treated as such. We strive to embolden each child to reach their full potential in all physical, emotional, and mental activities.

As a leading provider of child care, we take pride in offering the best care and attention that your child deserves. We are dedicated to serving the needs of your family each and every day.

With over 30 years experience raising children, both ours and yours, we are proud of our achievements, but more importantly, the achievements of the children we have helped raise. We have helped guide children in our care so they could achieve their maximum potential and become valued members of our community.

We have been involved in the education and growth of thousands of children. Some have gone on to further their formal education by becoming Teachers, Nurses and Engineers. One of our past students recently passed the New Jersey Bar Exam and is a Practicing Attorney at Law. He is joined by another distinguished graduate of our program who went on to graduate from Medical School and is now a successful Osteopathic Doctor of Medicine.

Children in our care have gone on to attend Chester County Community College, Delaware County Community College, Neumann University, Arcadia University, West Chester University, Tampa University, University of South Florida, Osceola Community College, Villanova University, Drexel Law School, Villanova Law School and Nova Southeastern School of Medicine.

We do what we do better than any other center in our area. We Love, Care For, and Educate children. We are proud of our results, and confident you will be proud also, as you watch your child blossom into their full potential, here at Creative Kids.
