My son was a student at Creative Corner starting in the toddler room and through Kindergarten. We chose to have him stay at Creative Corner for Kindergarten for several reasons, including small class size, familiar surroundings, and because my younger daughter was also enrolled at the school. The advanced Kindergarten curriculum prepared him for transitioning directly into 1st grade at the public school. By the time he graduated from Creative Corner, he had mastered basic math and handwriting skills, and had developed a love of reading. He is now entering the 4th grade, performing above or at grade level in all subjects without difficulty. I think the Kindergarten at Creative Corner gave him a great foundation for academic success going forward! It was a good choice for our family.

My daughter enjoyed kindergarten at Creative Corner school. It was an excellent opportunity for her to continue her social and academic development. She was particularly fond of the science sections which sparked her imagination and filled her with enthusiasm for school and learning, an enthusiasm that carried forward with her into first grade and beyond. I would recommend Creative Corner’s kindergarten as a fun engaging environment for children to begin their transition to elementary school years.
