I never take the time to write reviews on or about anything, however there is no way that I can not write one for Creative Beginnings. My older son started in the in toddler center after being switched from All Around the World. Best decision I could have made. They have an amazing curriculum, the teachers are always positively pushing all children to achieve their best. They fill the day with exciting activities to expand the young minds of creativity, singing, dancing, writing, playing, helping, problem solving, the list can go on. I couldn't wait to get my second son enrolled when he was just a few months old. I have had nothing but incredible experiences with everything! From the amazing summer school (swimming and field trips) to the constant care and love from the entire staff. All of the teachers and directors are very easy to communicate with. The classrooms are small which means a lot more one on one with your child. For my children this really built their confidence and character among many other things. It's hard to explain the excellence of this school in one short review as words do not do justice! I would recommend these 3 different locations of Creative Beginning to ANY parent who has a child and cares about their future. Thank you CB!!

Great schools cannot exist without a great groups of teachers and the diversity of kids that make this school so great. We have the most beautiful, interesting, interested, and talented children at this school, all due to the cultured and very well educated teachers they have at this elementary. They are truly here to teach/learn, grow,and experience life and they genuinely care about their students. Every Adult and child is enriched by just being part of this school. Love their curriculum , it is always more advanced compared to public school, so it gives Creative Beginnings Students the foundation needed to motivate and carry them though when they graduate. They also offer summer school with it's own fun classes for summer with field trips that the kids look forward to every year. They are taught the importance of music, and several performances are put on by the students through out the year, they love it and creates lasting memories every year and before you know it, you have a very well grounded confident student.

Creative Beginnings is a place where kids are challenged to learn and excel. I have 3 kids and the youngest one is just starting with Creative Beginnings. My oldest who is in junior high has continued to excel in her academics due to a strong foundation which was built here. My middle child is also doing very well and continually tests well above the current grade level. The teachers and staff truly care about your child's well being and work with you if they see ways that your kid can improve. The food they are served is made fresh daily and the kids eat it so you know it's good. My nephew has gone here and my niece will go here soon as well. I've recommended this school to all of our friends, many of whom have also enrolled here. It is not a place where your kid is just money in a chair when they show up. The school and teachers definitely expect the parents to participate in their kids learning.

I love this school, teachers, and of course the kids are great. My daughter started in the day care and will attend through the fifth grade. She earned high honor roll through the entire second grade.

CBE is the place to be!!! CBE is so advanced in their teaching that kids have no choice but to excel. Both my children have attended and now my eldest is graduating HS with a GPA of 4.67 and it was the fundamentals that we decided to give her and with CBE playing a role my children will have a bright future ahead of them!!!

Creative Beginnings has three facilities: toddler center, pre-school and an Elementary school. My younger son attends the toddler center and my older son attends the elementary school. I moved from Santa Monica and tuition is nothing in comparison. Snacks and lunch are included. Parents are responsible for books, testing fee and other supplies but this is to be expected when attending any private school. Toddler Center: I opted for day care and I am glad I did (as apposed to a nanny) because I have seen the benefits of my boys interacting with children their age and participating in age appropriate activities. I feel my son is in a safe environment and I am called immediately if my son is ill. Elementary School: I can't say enough about the Elementary School. My son receives personalized attention because of the class size. As a result, my son is exceeding in many of the categories/subjects. The summer program rocks. Fields trips are held every Friday. Swimming twice a week and Academics are also part of the summer curriculum. My son is learning Spanish! The office staff and teachers are great and always available to answer any questions and address any concerns.

WE LOVE CREATIVE BEGINNINGS!! I enrolled both my children since pre-k and it is amazing to see how much they have learned. Not only have they grown academically but intellectually as well. My oldest child now a 5th grade graduate will miss all of his loving and caring teachers through his attendance at Creative Beginnings for they also played a very important part in his growth as a well manner and spoken young man. After attending his graduation ceremony I was extremely happy to find out the ENTIRE 5th grade class had made honor roll. With their high standards of education as a mother I couldn t expect any less. I now look forward to my 1st grader getting to her 5th grade graduation to see how we top this year s graduating class. Class of 2010 ROCKS!!!!

Took my daughter here, wasn't TOO impressed. She was bitten MANY times, and the explanation I got was 'its what kids at this age do. It's how they 'express their frustration''. Think twice before taking your little ones to this day care.
