Everyone here is so awesome, seriously. I have two children, my oldest just turned 3, and my youngest is about to be 1. I used a few different child care providers in the past and I was never 100% satisfied with care/practices. This place is different, they really go above and beyond. Both my kids love coming here. My kids have a ton of friends now, and they talk about their friends even when we are at home! They are always doing "sensory" style teaching, which is great. The teachers really care about their job, and the kids. The teachers always have an agenda planned out with certain activities they will do that day. I love asking my oldest how her day was, she rambles on and on about all the cool things they did that day. I have a HUGE file full of art work they periodically give me from class. I plan on keeping my kids here as long as I possibly can, I have never been to such an amazing facility. Its a good size too! Lots of room for them to play around especially when the weather is nice enough! Thanks Audrey, and the rest of your awesome team. You ladies ROCK!
My daughter was there for the past two years and my son pass 4 months. My experience was beyond amazing! The staff ;De’ricka MaryAnn, Crystal, Sandra, Megan, jasmine, Catherine, Tom , Audrey, Virginia and Joni ,etc are very kind, attentive, caring and knowledgeable. Hands down awesome . I felt comfortable and relax knowing my children were in their hands. The infant /15-2year room staff are amazing !!!! My daughter and son loved being there. They both had daycare moms and the staff genuinely loved my children. My children had tons of beautiful artwork. The teachers worked with me on concern with development. I loved the consistency with staff even with the new ones. My daughter can go to any staff she wanted to. The relationships they took the time to build with my daughter is amazing. My son was cuddle/nurtured a lot. I loved the warm and inviting welcomes. I can ask anyone about my children day and the staff can tell me details about their day. I wish I can take the staff with me on my move 🥹❤️ Thank you for the pass two years !
My child has been attending here since 6 months old (now 4.5 years old) and we have had a great experience. Ms. Audrey has always led with professionalism and hired great teachers. Teacher turnover is extremely low with my child having the same teacher on average for 2 to 3 years. This has contributed greatly to the feeling of family and consistency that kids need. The teachers have all taken time to get to know my specific child's quirks and personality and to help her grow with fun and engaging activities. My daughter has made her first real friends here and we even meet up with some of them outside of daycare and have become family friends. Creative Kids Connection offers a caring, fun atmosphere at a great value, and I'm happy my daughter spent her first 4 years of her life here.
My 2 children have been going here for a 6+ months. The teachers are attentative and kind. They love my babies as much as I do and have helped advance their skills. I feel welcomed when I pick up and drop off my kids. D'Ericka, Tom, Sandra, Crystal, and MaryAnn always greet me with smiles and kind words about how amazing my kids are. Honestly, every teacher there is so wonderful. I wish I would have put my oldest in daycare sooner!
HORRIBLE. This daycare is claiming to be one of the best ones in Dekalb. Audrey the director is VERY rude. The teachers are wonderful but they are VERY careless. I’ve walked in numerous of times and the teachers are letting the boys fight each other. I’ve addressed a parent letting her know another child was smacking her son numerous of times and I had to grab her son while the teacher was across the room having a conversation not paying any attention to the kids. I’ve made a DCFS report before and they continuously have DCFS coming into their daycare. I’ve received phone calls from DCFS wanting to speak to my child at the center regarding how she is there. They are not letting the parents know the events that are taking place. I also have pictures of my daughter coming home with marks on her eyes, nose and arms. When I asked the teacher what happened her response is always “I do not know, she was not in my classroom”. The daycare looks wonderful but overall I would not trust leaving my child in that daycare ever again. I removed my daughter from the daycare recently without notice for the safety of my daughter and Audrey called me and was very disrespectful and it was very disturbing how she was so upset that I removed my daughter from her center. There’s numerous of DCFS reports from parents in that daycare they are not making us aware of. Please do your research before choosing this provider!!!As of 9/27/19 I’m still getting calls regarding this daycare.They do not watch the children!! Another incident happened with kids fighting and Audrey couldn’t control the situation so she started crying. UNFIT DIRECTOR Audrey is a VERY careless director and the teachers DO NOT pay attention.THIS IS THE FIRST, THE ONLY AND THE LAST DAYCARE MY DAUGHTER HAS EVER GONE TO IN DEKALB AND SHE WILL NEVER GO BACK! Since my daughter left she receives THE BEST EDUCATION AND I truly see a difference. Audrey is ignorant just look at her responses to concerned parents…. All her comments below is a lie. This was the first and last daycare my daughter ever went to in dekalb . She has no proof she ever spoke to any other daycare because my daughter never attended any other daycare in dekalb. I called DCFS once after she told me they lost my daughter birth certificate. 5 years later I see they are still getting the same reviews from others. I see no lies told from me. If you love your babies do not send them here.
