  Wonderful school by all means. Can’t find a word to describe how amazing Creme is. It’s way beyond a daycare. School architecture is unique. They have diversity of curriculum and activities that had a very positive impact on my kids development at all levels. Kids have their main class rooms but rotate at other rooms throughout the day. They have music &art rooms, gym library stem lab & water park The water park runs twice weekly for each class during summer months. The teachers are great caring pleasant very receptive of feedback and compassionate about what they do. Teachers know every child by name. They welcome kids with their names in the morning. Same when they leave. A lot of events are arranged ( Halloween party Christmas party etc ) Ms King is a wonderful director with great vision and pleasant personality. She has been available and supportive when needed. The dedication, expertise, and genuine care provided by the school staff have contributed immensely to my kids development.

  Both of my children have attended Creme. My older son attended their Champ Camp over the summer and had the best time! My infant son is currently enrolled and has been attending since he was 13 weeks. The director Diane is super responsive and helpful. The assistant directors and staff are so kind, helpful and accommodating. The facility is also very clean. The teachers are so knowledgeable about children. We’ve had the best experience. I cannot recommend Creme enough.

  We have been so happy with Creme de la Creme! We have two children there, and our older one was enrolled in a few other childcare centers before Creme, but we are here to stay! The teachers and staff are so great with our kids, and it's evident that they truly care about them and have built real connections with them. And I love the fact that Creme encourages the entire staff to get to know each child at the center (not just the ones in the classrooms where they work most often). It makes the kids feel very comfortable at the school since they know everyone there, and it seems to make transitions from room to room easier as they get older. Something else I have noticed in comparison with other childcare centers we have attended is that the staff is very proactive about communicating with parents. I feel like they really try to engage with your family beyond just a hello at drop off and pick up. This has made a big difference to me personally. They are around my children for 8 hours out of the day several days a week, and I really appreciate feeling like I know what has happened while I'm away. When my youngest was an infant, it was really helpful for me to compare notes with the teachers on feedings, sleep habits, etc., to be sure that we were on the same page. I've never felt that they were too busy to discuss things with me at the beginning or end of the day. I have also been so impressed with how much our children learn at Creme. My 4-year old came home the other day very excited to tell me all about how gravity works, and he sings songs in Spanish on a regular basis. Our one year old is learning very good table manners and sign language. Also, the facility itself is very impressive. They have an on-site water park the kids get to use during the summer that our kids absolutely love. They also have a big gym to use when the weather is not good for playing outside. They even have a little koi pond with fish in it, and our youngest loves to say "Hi" to the fish on her way to her classroom. Finally, I feel confident in our children's safety at Creme. The school has a fingerprint system for entry, and an on-site resource officer at the end of the day. This is long-winded, but I really can't say enough good things about Creme. We love it there!

  My daughter went to creme for 1.5 months and I can only speak about the infant and toddler rooms. Our experience in the infant room was OK, but the toddler rooms were horrible. We unfortunately had to keep her there for a month before finding alternative care. My daughter would scream every time I left her at creme. This may be normal for some kids, but she didn't scream when I left her at her church daycare on Sundays. The toddler teachers at creme were not warm and didn't seem to care. They were almost always over the state ratio of 1:5. They pretend to have great curriculum, but I have never seen them actually do anything with the kids. My daughter was usually wandering around by herself or sitting in a corner when I picked her up. Supposedly they do art projects but none have been sent home. I've seen no physical evidence of any of the curriculum they say they do. Her first week there they didn't call me when she had pink eye, but a few weeks later made her stay out for a day and a half because of what they called diarrhea. She didn't have diarrhea or a fever and was perfectly normal when I took her home. This was hugely inconvenient as both my husband and I work and our schedules are not at all flexible. My theory is they had too many kids those days. Also, she supposedly had a specific teacher in her toddler room but I rarely saw the same face when I dropped her off or picked her up. No one could tell me how her day went. They just told me to look at the online sheet of when she was changed and ate. For paying $1600 a month they better be able to tell me more than that... Also, the teacher she supposedly had I only met once or twice and didn't see for the entire last week or two I was there. I assume she left or was fired, but I was never told anything. Also, in the span of 2 weeks we got incident reports that she was bitten (broke her skin), scratched twice and hit her head. I understand things happen, but that often? I became very concerned whether the toddlers were being supervised at all. The last day she was there my husband dropped her off much later than usual. He told me that 3 toddlers were locked in one side of a room while the teacher was busy working with two toddlers on the other side. The 3 unsupervised toddlers were just standing there bored. This was the last straw for us. This place may look good on the outside but it should be shut down. It does not follow state guidelines and everything we've been told about curriculum and caring for the kids has been lies.
