Creative Kids Daycare Center INC.

To be honest, I’m pretty frustrated with the health situation at Creative Kids. My little one seems to bring home a new bug every other week, and the communication from the center about what’s going around is basically non-existent. The facility itself feels pretty cramped and dated, and it doesn't give off that 'deep cleaned' vibe you want in an urban daycare. It’s hard to feel good about dropping your kid off when you see others coming in with clear runny noses and coughs because the sick policy isn't really enforced strictly. I know they're licensed, but it feels more like they're just checking boxes rather than really prioritizing a healthy environment for the kids.

Honestly, Creative Kids has been pretty solid since my daughter started. The rooms on 55th St always look super tidy when I drop her off, and they actually stick to their sick policy, which I appreciate because it keeps the usual daycare germs a bit more contained. They're quick to call if someone in the class gets a fever, so you aren't left guessing. Only thing is, I wish they had a bit more outdoor playtime when the weather is nice instead of staying in the urban space so much, but overall, it's a really healthy environment for the kids.
