Creative Beginnings Of Lenoir

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of enrolling my child at Creative Beginnings, and it’s been nothing short of amazing. From the very start, the team has been incredibly welcoming and professional. It’s clear that each teacher genuinely loves what they do and is fully invested in the well-being and growth of every child. A special shoutout to Mr.Bob, Miss Sara, Miss Joanne, Miss Sierra, Miss Jackie, Miss Crystal, and Miss CeCe—each of them brings a unique energy and passion to the classroom. They create a nurturing, fun, and educational environment where my child feels safe, happy, and excited to learn every day. The personal attention and care they give to each child is unmatched, and their ability to make learning feel like play is a testament to their dedication. The curriculum at Creative Beginnings strikes the perfect balance between structured learning and creative exploration. It’s heartwarming to see my child’s social and cognitive skills grow in such a positive, engaging atmosphere. The facility itself is bright, clean, and thoughtfully designed with age-appropriate activities and spaces that encourage curiosity and creativity. I appreciate how open the communication is between staff and parents—it's reassuring to know that we are always in the loop about our child’s progress and daily experiences. If you’re looking for a daycare where your child will thrive emotionally, socially, and academically, Creative Beginnings is truly the best choice. It’s a place where children grow, and parents can have peace of mind knowing they’re in the hands of an exceptional team. Thank you all for what you do and you are appreciated!

This is by FAR the best daycare in the Lenoir/Granite Falls area. They are very interactive with the kids’ learning and assisting them hitting milestones at the appropriate age. I.e potty training Each room has a camera and is monitored throughout the day and they also provide an app for you to monitor feedings/diaper changes that they input daily. If you’re a first time mom I HIGHLY suggest Creative Beginnings of Lenoir to fit your needs. The Director Sara always does an excellent job of keeping the show going and fixing any issues promptly, she prioritizes the children always !

Disappointed is an understatement. When I pulled my son out of this facility, they lost his belongings. It has been over a week and they still have not located his things…which they left outside the classroom door. That is my biggest complaint. While my son was enrolled he was coming home dirty every day. His face would be filthy and his diaper would be dirty as well. There was also an occasion in which I walked into the room to pick him up and the staff had inappropriate music playing on a speaker. Also not to mention the awful habits he picked up while there. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

My daughter has been going to this daycare since she was about 7 months old. She is now 1 and had to move up base on her age. Ever since my child has been in the age appropriate class she has been bit by the same little boy as of today makes 6 times. She isn't the only child this boy has bitten. We have talked with the director of the daycare now 4 times to see what they are going to do to address this situation. We have been told multiple times that the childs parents will be talked to about fixing the behavior and to see what the daycare themselves could do to help fix the behavior. We was also told that if it happened again he would be removed from the daycare. My daughter went to on vacation with her grandpa for a week and due to her not being there the daycare claims the boy has made progress with his behavior. As soon as my daughter goes back(first day back) she was bitten on her back! The daycare then proceeds to tell us once again that if he does it again he would be removed. The child should have been removed the moment my child and other parents children were being bit by the same child. As of today the little boy not only bit my 1 year old he even bit another child so they have suspended him! As far as my understanding he is suspended for a few days and not permanently when it should be permanently! As a parent I understand that children will goes through stages like that but us parents need to fix the behavior at home! No child should ever feel unsafe going to any type of school because the staff will not do their part to protect our children. We shouldn't have to worry about our children being hurt and if they are we shouldn't have to worry if they aren't going to do anything about it! This daycare has had many complaints when it comes to either not reporting an incident or fixing a problem. As I've known of other children that was in this daycare before being pulled out because they were either being bitten with nothing being done or was hurt with no report! I DO NOT recommend this daycare to anyone!

My granddaughter started this preschool as an infant and it was great until she was recently moved to the 1 yr. old class (even though she is a late walker and all the other children in the class walks) since she has been moved she has been bitten by the same boy a total of 6 known times ( in a four week period which one and a half weeks she wasn't there she was on vacation) and the preschool constantly says "if he does it one more time they will suspend him." Well the "one more time happened again" the very first day she is back from her vacation and guess what her parents were told. "He's made progress if it happens one more time" again her parents were told. This little girl has put up with being used as a bitter block 6 times. That's 5 to many. Really one is to many but I do understand that the biting child is still learning but it does not have to at the cost and through pain of the other children in the class. ( and yes she isn't the only child being bit by the same kid either) This is where the daycare should put their foot down in the interest of the other children in the class and send him home until his parents get the behavior under control. The other children in the class should not be his learning tools. Parents bring their children to the daycare thinking they are in good hands and can be trusted. Accepting this type of behavior over and over again is unacceptable and should not be tolerated by the staff or the other parents who's children are in the center. I also worry since she is the only one in the class not walking, she will be trampled by the other children. Her parents were told they have to move her up. I myself know that this is not true. This is preschool it will not go on her permit school record and really having a child who can not walk in with 10 to 12 kids walking should be considered a hazard for the preschool. She should remain in the class with crawlers and scooters until she is at least able to stand and hold her balance. So, to sum it up, they put a helpless child who can't walk away from the child using her as a bitter block in with children bigger than her, who could walk all over her, and who use her as a bitter block , but expect her family to look at it as "Oh, the bitter doesn't know any better let's let him do it one more time". This is Ridiculous behavior for the parents or the staff to continuously put up with.
