We were recently looking for a childcare for our daughter as we had moved and this place is closer…read moreto our new house. All our conversations with Tracy were very unwelcoming and unprofessional. It started off with her giving us more info about the place. My wife visited the place and liked it and wanted me to take a look as well. I don't know what was wrong about that ask or my wife making a visit, every response from Tracy from there on had an unwelcoming undertone dissuading us to not enroll. She responded rudely to our questions and did not consider our needs at all even when we were ready to enroll our daughter for an August start date. Very unprofessional, unwelcoming, do not recommend.

Like the viewer below me, I'm honestly surprised at the reviews. Our son has been going here for…read moretwo years and overall it's been very satisfactory. We've loved just about every teacher / classroom our son has moved into and if we were so so on the teacher it didn't matter much because our son is always so happy to go and see them. There's definitely some teachers who go above and beyond to do their job and others are still great. There's no one that looks like they are slacking off and neglecting kids needs. I feel like my son is on track mentally and physically with any other kids his age. He always comes home and says things that are intelligent and hilarious. The only thing is that I wish the outdoor area wasn't mostly covered in concrete, I would love to see turf installed throughout the whole play area. Overall I recommend this school to anyone who's asked me about where to take their kids in town.

I don't have enough good words to say about our 5 years at Creative Children's Center. It was our…read morefamily, it was the greatest experience with the school we could ever wish for. We found pretty fast that Reggio-approach is reflecting the values of our family. CCC provides it in the most accurate way, applying Reggio method to the modern american society. Our son started attending CCC as a 4 years old and last year he was graduating from Elementary. He is in PPS now and we can see all the results of going through CCC education. All those years builded the strong social skills, great self respect and respect to the others, natural curiosity, the desire to learn, to read, to explore, to work and play with others, to be in the group and to share creativity. During those years he was involved in several group projects that, without the exaggeration, were educational treasures. One of them - during the whole school year kids were building the Village out of carton boxes. It started like a play and grow in tho the whole learning, creating, exploring, finding your place and supporting others process. With a teacher support kids modeled the whole society life, opening own businesses, bank, airpot, electing a Mayor, reinventing the whole money system, opening charity organization and having a parade through the school! They created the Law and declared the values of their Village. The project was an excellent foundation of learning how to be a citizen and how to create a peaceful and creative relationships. On academic level, we were so pleased to see the development of our son's reading and writing skills. He had his brake through moments with reading, he started to carry the book everywhere with him enjoying reading so much! Our daughter made a huge progress with public speaking, started her writing and math at pre-K level. Teachers are supporting kids in the learning process a lot, trying to preserve and support kids natural interest to learn, removing the blocks, working with parents and families in a very close contact, support and sharing strategies and success. I can't even express my deep respect to the founder of CCC and all the teachers that we worked with. Our son is successful 3rd grader and our daughter is in Kindergarten in Public schools now. We are so happy so see what a wonderful foundation were all those years at CCC for them.

We were very interested in enrolling our twin boys at this school for the fall of 2020, so much so,…read morewe went ahead and signed them up in early 2020, pre-pandemic i.e., before the first COVID case had even arrived in the western world and before we knew there would be a shut down or any of the other crazy things that happened at that time. We also had a newborn baby who would later become medically fragile and require open heart surgery and multiple other procedures that year. As you can imagine, it was one of the hardest years of our life. Due to her health, we had to be especially careful about possible exposure. We checked in with CCC sporadically up until the summer. We were keen to know if the program would still go ahead despite the pandemic. They were guarded and at one point mentioned by phone that it was uncertain due to low enrolment. By the late summer, it became clear that we could no longer take the risks of enrolling our twins in preschool at that time. We explained the extenuating circumstances and withdrew the application in order to give the school as much notice as possible. By this point, we had already paid the fees for the first term. The school refused to take the pandemic or our unique situation into account and kept over $800. This is despite the fact that the CCC preschool program we had enrolled the twins did not proceed due to the pandemic. They refused to reimburse us and refused to let us put the fees toward future enrolment once it was safe to do so. They did not even get in touch with information of when the program would re-start even though we explained very clearly why we had to hold off but that we still hoped to enrol at a later date if possible, pending our daughter being more medically stable.

Today was our first day at a new school. I took a long sigh of relief, I had not realized was…read morebadly over due. We left Southwest Parent-Child Collective this last year. Our feelings, mixed at best. We had many hopes and a great introduction to the school via visits both at the school with fellow parent's, and with our child's teacher. We were excited about the coop's nurturing environment, and cohesive community. While we believe our child's teacher was everything we could hope for and more, the parent environment was not okay. Not at all. In the coop, everyone has a role/job. I was nervous but excited about my role within the school it's community. The job, and the school ended up being a place, where I did not feel comfortable. The key role authority the "Co-Chair" never liked my ideas. The energy i put into ideas, and planning, was shot down, by this woman in charge. She seemed to go out of her way to be "helpful" in doing this. We had signed up for a "coop". Instead we got one person making rules, with no regard for others. The new $5 a minute punitive late fee - BAD news, but the way in which this "Co-Chair" put down another admirable member, behind her back to me, that was it. We were sad to leave the good of the school behind. The environment had become for us, the opposite of what was pitched to us. It seemed one bad apple, but then no one, including the other board members or teachers did anything to change the situation. Maybe we had the wrong idea of the school. I would not recommend Southwest Parent-Child Collective.

My son has attended preschool here for about a year - it is an amazing preschool. They have very…read morethought-out curriculum - not book-based or pushing kids too hard, they just really think through the aspects of what play and activities are available and how it helps the childrne learn to interact with each other and the world. And the children enjoy it a lot - this is not a "push your academic learner" thing but a "how can we thoughtfully engage them where they are thing", for example dramatic play in my son's classroom right now has a planting/gardening theme. They get outside play time unless the weather is really prohibitive, and even then they have indoor spaces for big-body motion. As for the food, every month I see the new menu and I wish I could just go over and have lunch with them many days. From what I've seen of the infant and toddler spaces and information, they're equally awesome - but I've never had a child in them, so my knowledge is much less.

I can not say enough amazing things about the teachers and care. They use evidence based research to drive a very thoughtful cricuilium. Yes even in the infant room.

Their care is unique to each child and they really respect and see your little one as a wonderful capable individual and give them the right amount of guidance and space to really blossom. They give suggestions and resources that taught us how to be better parents! It feels very safe and loving. Our family calls it, the Havard of daycare. We miss them tremendously!
