My two kids have been going to Creative Learning Academy for about 7 months. The teachers are informative, loving, and just overall amazing. The communication with staff is better than I could ever have expected. I love the Brightwheel App which keeps us informed about everything our kids are doing throughout the day. My kids love going to, "school." If you are looking for quality daycare where kids are encouraged to learn and grow, you couldn't ask for better than Creative Learning Academy!
