We believe...
...that each child is unique & special.
...that in order to grow and develop socially, mentally, emotionally,
and physically, children need a safe, cheerful, fun, caring, & secure
environment in which to learn, discover, and create.
...that children need a stimulating, yet orderly & organized
environment to explore – one that is rich in learning materials.
...that children learn best by doing; therefore, "hands on
experience" is the basis of our curriculum.
...in a fun place where your child can be happy & proud to be a CREATIVE KID!

Creative Kids, Inc. planned curriculum is based on themes of interest,
development, and abilities of the children. We offer each child the freedom to
explore the various learning activities and interest centers that have been
prepared before his/her arrival.
We have a purpose for every activity. We challenge your child's thinking and
problem-solving ability. We supply many materials to foster creativity.
Our program is based on the theory that children learn best by doing and where
their natural curiosities are allowed to develop. We provide many sensory
experiences. Children learn by touching, feeling, seeing, hearing, etc. Our emphasis
is on the process, not the end product. We offer your child a variety of challenging
and fun experiences.

Language, Math, Science, Music, Movement, Art, Cooking, Puppetry, Dramatic
Play, Reading, Listening, Writing, Gross Motor Skills, Fine Motor Skills

progress. These conferences are usually scheduled during the spring. Other conferences will be
arranged upon requests by parents or teachers. Feel free to set up a conference with the

Daily Communication Sheets
This is a detailed daily information report explaining all activities. This report will be in the
child's cubby at the end of each day. A personal note will be added and any other daily
comments or reminders will be included. The daily sheet will also inform you if your child ate
lunch, took a nap, etc. Please use this report to talk with your child about his/her daily
experiences.
