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.
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
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!
Dear Donna, Jim, and Joanne, Thank you for five wonderful years at Creative Kids. We can not thank you enough for helping us raise two intelligent, sweet, creative children. It's a bittersweet day, as we are excited for new opportunities but sad to say good bye!
Creative Kids, Thank you for such a wonderful year! Isabella really enjoyed her time with you. She learned so much from her wonderful teachers at Creative Kids and now she is ready for her next step into kindergarten. Thank you, very much! ~
Creative Kids, Thank you for providing such a valuable service. Your staff was extremely helpful and I am so happy with the outcome. I wish all businesses would treat their customers as you do and I will recommend you to all my friends and associates. Our son Jeff has amazed us every day because of the lessons he learned while in your care. Thanks again for your help.
Dear Donna, We are so thrilled with the love and care you gave our children. You have been a huge part of their life and we can't say enough good things about you and Creative Kids. They both speak about you often, and we are sure they will never forget you!
Dear Creative Kids, Thanks to you and everyone at Creative Kids for taking such good gare of me. I will miss all of you. It's good to know that the door is always open should I need to return in the future. Thanks! Trevor Cantlin and Trevor's parents thank you too!

We absolutely love Creative Kids! We have two boys. The oldest was at Creative Kids from two years old through Kindergarten. He is now in fourth grade and thriving academically. Creative Kids provided the foundation for his success. Our younger son is now four and currently attending Creative Kids since he was a year old. He comes home each day and tells us all the things he has learned. We love the teachers and staff. We couldn't be happier!

Hi I’m Christina. I have been at Creative Kids since Summer 2016. I work mostly in the office, as well as help in the classrooms whenever is needed. I have been around kids my entire life from teaching Sunday school to babysitting. I have a bachelor’s degree in Communications and am half through my MBA. My favorite part of this job is meeting new families and getting to know the ones that are currently here. Genuinely speaking everyone here feels like family from the teachers, to the kids, to the parents. I love having my three boys here at the center because I get to see them learn and grow through the amazing staff we have. Every day brings something new and I enjoy living each day of my crazy life.

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.
