  • Fun on the Farm!

    Howdy, ya’ll! Our 2-3 year old summer playdate series started off wonderfully, with fun on the farm!

    Throughout the week, we talked about all of the different farm animals you find on a farm, and what we get from farms. They were great farmers, and even got to “milk” a pretend cow 🙂

  • NEW 2016 Summer Playdate Series Registration NOW OPEN

    We are excited to announce our Summer Playdate Series!  Everyone loves a playdate, but the kids want to have them more than parents like to host them. Let us play host this summer . . . that means no mess, no noise, no cleanup and no negotiations about who gets to come over. We have decided that summertime at Creative Tots should be more about what the kids want. The kids want to play.  The kids want to see their friends. The kids have spoken and we have listened. They think that anything to do with “camp” might just be a little too much like school. Let your kids explore they way they are built to explore . . . through playing in the summertime with their friends. So, grab a friend and join us!

  • Pirates and Princesses Playdate

    Once upon a time in a Kingdom not so far away, there were Princesses and Pirates celebrating a beautiful summer day!  Pirates and Princess week was a jolly good time. We searched for treasure, we made wishes with fairy dust and even learned to talk like a pirate. This week was a huge success and a lot of fun for both boys and girls!

  • More carnival pictures.

    There is always a line at the face painting booth during our Back to School Carnival

    After filing away the pictures from the Creative Tots back to school carnival this summer, I came across a few I had to post.  It was such a wonderful event this year with nearly all the families participating.  The kids had such a great time.  It is always fun to see the families interact, some for the first time and others see their friends and neighbors there only to realize that they both have students at the school.  We learn something each year with the carnival.  This year it was that you can never have enough popcorn and face painting is apparently the first order of business for all the kids upon arrival.

  • The year of the Toddler

    Remember that the first week is transitional week for the toddler program.  What this means is that they will only be in school for 1 ½ hours for the week of September 8-11th instead of the regular full 2 ½ hours.  If your child is enrolled in the am toddler session it will run from 9:00 to 10:30. The pm session on Tuesday and Thursday will run from 12:00-1:30.

    Summer fun with our "Water Wednesdays"

    Summer fun with our "Water Wednesdays"

    Regular hours 9-11:30/12:00-2:30 will begin the following week.  The room is coming together nicely as the teachers have been there morning until night preparing for the arrival of our toddler class.  The summer was full and exciting and allowed for some great activities with the kids at Tots.  This year will be nothing short of fantastic.

  • Pre-K in full swing

    This summer at Tots

    The summer has passed and this year our pre-K program once again is near capacity.  Our graduates have begun school and are already getting rave reviews.  Kindergarten is a big step and the confidence with which our students leave the pre-K program is unmatched.  Academics are taught through an incredible array of avenues and this year will be no exception.  The popularity of our programs has reached an unprecidented peak this year and the varied experiences planned for our pre-K students is exciting.  Many of our kids were here this summer and are excited to start the new year.
