Welcome      Teachers
Our Teachers

We would like for every parent to know that each one of our teachers on staff are certified to work with your children.  All of our team members have received their early childhood credentials.  With this they are taught the basics on how to help children learn through, creativity, science, communication, art and so forth.  Our team members strive to teach your children, by using DAP (developmentally appropriate practice).  We want each parent to feel comfortable with leaving you child at our center and in our care.  Thank you for choosing Creative Kidz Academy we look forward to working with both you and your child.
