  • I've been sending my little one to Creative Scholars and honestly, the cleanliness is what sold me. It’s a dedicated preschool space in an urban area, but it doesn't feel 'grimy' like some other city spots. They definitely seem on top of the 'keeping children healthy' side of things—the staff is always wiping down surfaces and the layout is bright and well-ventilated. I really appreciate that they have cameras for that extra peace of mind, though I do wish they were a bit more aggressive with their sick policy during peak flu season, as we've had a few sniffles cycle through the classroom back-to-back. Overall, it’s a solid, clean environment where I don't feel like I'm dropping my kid off in a petri dish every morning.

  • My little one has been at Creative Scholars for a while now and I’m pretty happy with how they handle the usual preschool germs. The place always smells clean when I drop off, and they’re really strict about the 24-hour fever-free rule, which can be a pain for working parents but honestly keeps the flu outbreaks to a minimum. I also love that they get the kids moving even though we're in a busy part of the city. Communication is solid—they’ll shoot out an email pretty quickly if hand-foot-and-mouth or something else is going around the classroom so we can keep an eye out.
