This is by far the best daycare. This is the first daycare we had ever used, so we were hesitant in the beginning about our 1.5 year old and soon to be newborn attending a daycare facility. But once our daughter was in, we saw a difference in her attitude and the way she acted at home. She loved all the other kids and the teachers almost immediately. Once we had our son and the daycare found out we would be enrolling our newborn, they were ecstatic. You can tell these teachers love what they do, love to be involved, and they update us parents everyday on how our child did, what they ate/drank and what supplies they need. They communicate very well. They are I also am improvement on how much my daughter was learning. At 1.5 years old, she was singing the tune of the ABC’s. We unfortunately moved too far away for our kids to attend this daycare, but if we were still nearby, we never would have left. I recommend this daycare to anyone and everyone, especially those looking for a daycare for the first time. Thank you everyone at A Creative Start, we appreciate each and every one of you!

Wouldnt recommend this daycare to anyone! Unfortunately you can't prove the emotional abuse that goes on in this facility. :(

My children have gone here for just shy of a year and I have no complaints... reasonably priced, the teachers are nice and provided daily reports and the director ran the place with structure from my stand point...my three kiddos get to transfer soon to the South location and we will see if it works as smooth....I would recommend trying them out!

My daughter went here for a little over a year. This facility is poorly run and the director has no idea what is going on in her center. I would pick up my daughter and she would have bruises or scratches or bite marks nearly every single day. I asked her teacher about it and she would laugh it off saying oh she must have fallen when we were outside. Or she but someone first so it was retaliation from the other kid. My daughter has never bitten before so why would she start now?! The following day there would be an accident report saying that she showed up that way!!!!! I had to miss work for a week looking for a new place because I didn't feel like my daughter was safe there.
