Reviews
I'm a previous employee of Creative Kids. I worked there for 4 years, from 2008 to 2012. I began my early childhood career at Creative Kids North, and I implement so much of what I learned into my daily teachings still. What I love and miss most about Creative Kids is that it was a family feeling center, where the co-workers, families and owners felt as if they were your own family members. It was a place not only for the students, but the teachers as well, to feel comfortable and safe as soon as you entered the building. The yard/play ground, summer camp program, meals( breakfast, snacks &lunch) are the BEST I've seen at any center in the Lehigh Valley. They have so much to offer for a high quality care. I highly recommend this school for childcare!
