★★★★★Katie LongmuirI have had such a great experience with Create and Play Preschool! My son has come so far in the last year. I was worried that he wouldn't be ready for kindergarten, but attending preschool made all the difference! Melissa and Sam are amazing people who really love working with children. I can't wait until my daughter gets to attend!
★★★★★Megan HaroI was lucky enough not to need daycare for my first couple years as a mom and when I did, I was super nervous. In the end, I could not be any happier with Create & Play, and would recommend this small in home daycare/preschool a thousand times over. My son was safe, well cared for and learned more than I ever expected. He is now at the top of his kindergarten class and very social and kind. Melissa and Sam were more like a second set of parents, and helped enforce manners, life skills and early learning. I’m really thankful that my son had the opportunity to attend preschool at Create and Play and would give them 100 stars if possible.
★★★★★Jennifer MorishitaOur daughter has been at Create and Play for a year and my only regret is that we didn't start there sooner. We moved her from a "preschool" where she watched TV all the time. At CAP she excelled. Sam and Melissa are so easy to work with and great teachers. We also saw a huge improvement in her speech. I appreciated quarterly reports of growth as well as watching her thrive. With our daughter starting kindergarten we are so sad to leave. Our daughter has made many friends and has always enjoyed the curriculum.
★★★★★Kristen BrackleyI am so thankful for Create and Play. My daughter has a LATE summer birthday and because she’s our third child, I have been anticipating how starting kindergarten as a very fresh 5 year old would be challenging. Melissa and Sam jumped right in to make sure she would be prepared and ahead of the curve! I am astonished at how much they’ve taught her and really looking forward to how kindergarten ready she will be. Academically CAP gets an A++. Then you factor in the love, fun and creative activities the kids experience every day and you truly can’t find better.
★★★★★Zack LovellCreate and Play Preschool has been a wonderful experience for my son, Landon. The nurturing environment and creative learning activities have helped him grow socially and academically in ways I’m truly impressed by. Sam and Melissa are exceptional teachers who genuinely care about the children and bring so much energy and patience to their work. Landon always comes home excited to share what he’s learned, and it’s clear that the structure and warmth of the preschool have been instrumental in his development. I highly recommend Create and Play Preschool!
