About The Creative Play School:
Since 1998, our mission has been to provide quality childcare in a small group setting with adequate teaching materials to establish an environment that enhances the teacher's ability to teach and the children's capacity to learn.
The Creative Play School offers the best student to teacher ratio in the area, which we feel is fundamental to providing the best learning environment.
Our philosophy is based on the theory that children learn best through play. Play is an important activity in a child's life; it is what children do best and can do all day long. We provide an environment in which children develop social and thinking skills through arts, crafts, drama, puzzles and free play activities. Our curriculum teaches children through carefully organized play initiated by the children and facilitated by the teachers.
Through play, children can learn math, reading and language skills, explore the world around them, experiment and develop imagination, creativity and problem solving skills. The teachers assist the children as they develop these skills, laying the early foundations for a lifetime of learning.
