Being in a new school can be hard.#First day of school...my nieces name was spell incorrectly on everything I did not feel welcome no access was given to me.dropped her off at 8am I was called for her to be picked up by noon for bad behavior they say.I was told tomorrow would be her last day remind you this is all new experience for a 3 year old child.This school doesn’t work with kids to make them feel comfortable in a new environmentPretty much if your not listening or throwing a tantrum you have to go. I sent her back again dropped her off today at 8 by 8:20 I was called and told she can’t return I asked for my enrollment fee and was told no. Children should feel welcome in an environment and this wasn’t what we expected you should work with kids to better understand themThis school only care about money and making the school looks creative they don’t care about the nature of your child I should have listen to the bad reviews and not enrolled now I paid $285 for 2 days

I love the care each teacher and staff show not only to the students but the parents as well. Knowing my son is cared for really makes it easier for us parents who worry. I appreciate the open communication between staff and parents. Being able to see what my child does everyday and have a folder of things my child did that week, along with pictures is really great. I also appreciate the lessons being taught and how they are taught. The teachers make sure every child is learning and engaging in the activities. My child is having fun but learning so much along the way. You can tell the teachers and staff at Creative World really care about each child. Ms. N and all the other teachers and staff are AMAZING!

This is my daughters first daycare. She started at 13 months. It’s been 3 months now and I love it. I have ZERO complaints, other than the schedules water day that didn’t happen only because of how excited she was in her little swim suit. But that’s no ones fault! The facilities are so clean, the teachers are nice and I love the daily reports I receive and can check in at any time without hesitation. I searched over 10 daycares in Brandon/Tampa and I was happiest with this one. It truly checked all my boxes.

The rate is not that low compared to other Daycare centers but it is totally worth it when you have peace of mind knowing that your baby is in good hands, is clean, well fed (with a very rich and diverse menu); where they keep you informed of how’s he doing throughout the day, where he has activities where he can learn and have fun.I personally like the two teachers a lot; they are responsible and seem to geniuly care about my son. Then the staff and directors at the front are always nice and responsive, if I need something emailed or fax they do it right away (that rarely happens in other schools).The center is always clean and smells good. The classrooms are bright and well stocked with material.I’m pretty happy with my decision of switching my baby to this Daycare.

My childrens first child care provider and they are amazing. They made my children feel welcomed and are very patient with them. Everything is included for the weekly tuition. My children are picky eaters and they provide a variety of lunches so help my children try different foods. No complaints thus far from our family. My daughter kisses and hugs her teachers and is happy to see them the next day.

My daughter is 3 and she LOVES IT! She is usually very attached to me but when she sees Creative World in the distance she gets super excited and cannot wait to say good bye to me. LOL - I feel so secure in knowing shes well taken care of. I have to also mention she is very smart for her age. That is something that I also have to give credit to CW for. I do my part but lets be real, our kids are there more during the week and Im grateful that she is getting the education that she needs. :)

It is really a creative world. My daughter is very happy and comfortable to go to this day care. I love this place very much. Staffs are very friendly nature. It is one of the right place for children to learn and play.

I went in today for a tour and to check pricing as would absolutely NOT recommend anyone send their child there.The woman who gave me the tour was wonderful and kind. When we went into the classroom and were introduced to the teacher of 3yo room my daughter would have been in the teacher was a little cold and unwelcoming. No smiles, no hello, no introduction. Barely any acknowledgement what so ever. This wasnt that alarming considering she was lining up kids to go outside but not at all the experience Ive had looking around at other daycares or with any daycare Ive put my son in.After leaving the building I decided to sit in my car and watch as the class was outside because I wasnt completely comfortable with the initial interaction with the teacher. I witnessed two twin girls (they were wearing their hair the same way and had on matching outfits) dragging another little girl off the slide by her arms and legs. One of the teachers called over to them but they continued to chase the girl up the slide and pull her down. The teacher did nothing more. Eventually, the two girls had the other on the ground pulling her hair and hitting her until I got out of my car and asked if the three of them (teachers) were going to do their job or just continue socializing. Only then did they walk over as slow as possible to correct the situation. I called and spoke with the director, Renee, who says it will be handled. After reading the reviews online, it seems the lack of qualifiedteachers has been on ongoing issue.This place has potential, but a 20 min tour makes it clear they are in desperate need of new teaching staff!

Creative World is such a welcoming environment from the moment you enter the building your greeted with smiles. My daughter has now been enrolled with Creative World for 2 months and she absolutely loves it. I love the way Creative World is always introducing different activities for the kids to be involved in as well as encouraging the parents to be apart of it. I would definitely recommend this center, great staff and great environment.

My son is currently attending Creative World and he has the most amazing teachers. I have seen him progress so much since he started. My older 2 children also attended the school and although it was good, I think it is slightly better now, than it had been in the past. I would recommend to anyone!

My son doesnt take well to strangers, but after his first day he was excited to go back the next day. I see new kids come in crying the first time and leave happy. This is so important to know not only are your kids taken care of very well here, put their enjoying their day. A little on the high side, but very well worth the money.

Creative world is one of the best child preschool which takes adequate care of children. They have a good curriculum for kids and they addresses concerns of the parents if any and suggests best things to resolve problems. At least in my case the above statement is very true. My son is a student for full time program and I can see great improvement after I enrolled my child in this school.

Review №15

Confused me with another person and lost my paperwork.. So within hours of telling me the spot was open to register my foster son, it was conveniently taken by a woman they thought was me.... I could probably pull the race card bit I imagine its more about disorganization. Both times we stopped by, several employees passed by us at the front without acknowledgement. I had to ask for help after several minutes of being ignored. Several times people (parents?)went through the door that was supposed to be locked. My 8 year old pointed it out a few times, pulling the door open. I guess the one good thing is it seemed clean. The infant room was adorable, but after my experience I did not register my son (for 2 months out). They barely have their heads screwed on correctly.

Creative World has been the best place my child has ever been part of. To see him excited because he gets to have fun with his friends from school just makes my heat skip a beat, and the staff are so friendly and pleasant, that i makes me happy knowing i had made the right choice in enrolling Fabian there.

Review №19

I’m solely wtiting this review after a two and a half day experience. Yes they will sell you on all of the amazing things that this school has to offer. The truth is that the teachers are very lazy and there is no type of structure for your child. I understand that kids are dirty but when you walk in for a quick check in on your child and see kids that have runny noses and they are eating that’s to much.They will be the first to make sure your payment is in but are the last to make sure that your concerns as a parent are met. They will sell you that wipes and diapers are included but won’t invest in new books, toys, or activities for your child.My advice is trust your gut and your instincts won’t lead you wrong.

Create World is a great school. The teachers are great with the children and it shows in how happy they [the kids] are. We also love the structured environment. We would definitely recommend to friends and family.

The staff is very much involved in ensuring my son is not only safe (yes, bumps happen on occasion, but Im always told about it) and enriched while in their care, but also given personal attention when needed. I am in the loop for his behavior (good and bad) and his progress in class. The staff knows my family by our first names, even with the dozens of other families on their roster. With many other options for care in our area, we are happy with Creative World in Brandon and plan to continue using the facilities as long as we can. To be honest, he was having a rough time adapting to VPK, but after a lot of talking, the directors realized that maybe a change in his teachers was the solution - and he has made a complete change, and improving every week. Miss Monica and Miss Sue are exactly right for him, while the other teachers are great for the other kids. The directors are passionate about the kids and families, and are very open to all communication. Highly recommended!

Overall very satisfied. I have 2 kids (one in 3K and the other one in VPK) and I can say that the school is always evolving and finding ways to be very be creative with their monthly themes. My kids are learning the basics and getting ready for kindergarten. The staff is very communicative, very friendly and family-oriented environment. Im happy that they got rid of the few bad apple teachers. Again, there is no Perfect school but overall speaking as a mom of two kids who have been there for over 2 years, and have been thru some ups and downs, this school is really good! Very happy mom! I would recommend it to any parent. Any time I had a concern I always brought it up to the office/ director, and they always handled and addressed my concerns promptly and with kindness.They focus in learning by been creative and using the kids imagination.

We love how comfortable they make you feel here. There was a few incidents but they have been corrected and We apperciate the urgency in our concerns. Since shes been in the Lions class, my daughters personality has blossomed, she has learned so much. Creative World School (Causeway) is like a Extented Family.

Review №29

My kids attended this daycare back in 2016, I’m going to give my complete and honest review.. you’re literally paying for the building and it’s looks NOTHING I mean NOTHING else, my kids were (3) were in the infant, 1’s and 2 1/2 years I can’t remember the name I think it was like pandas elephants and something I truly can’t remember, my view on the infant room is okay.. I mean my son did stay sick quite a lot like a lot when I took him to the doctor the doctor told me they receive a lot of their kids and all of them are always sick.. my daughter’s class the 1yr olds it was two Mexican teachers in the morning for some reason my daughter couldn’t stand them and you could see the feelings were mutual because the teachers couldn’t stand her, she always cried going to that class.. one day after dropping her off and taking my son to the infant classroom I came back around to pass her classroom again and she was literally on the floor crying with a chair on top of her and the teacher was just ignoring her when I walked in the classroom the teacher had a look of surprised on her face that I even came in.. (this was their last day) my next problem was with my 3 yr old she was in the 2 1/2 cause she wasn’t potty trained... She didn’t learn not one thing in this class besides one song so with that being said paying 500+ weekly for my infant son to be sick, my one year old to have terrible teachers and my 3 yr old not learn anything literally was just pointless not to mention the price constantly changes and they don’t give you warning you’ll just find out when you see your daycare cost has went up.. as far as the directors.. it was a heavy set white lady I don’t really have anything bad or good to say about her she’s just friendly.. it was another Director a black lady I think her name started with an A she’s very friendly you could definitely speak your concerns with her.. then there was Ebony ebony was pretty decent I have several encounters with her because she was always there when I came to drop my kids off and pick them up.. all in all I would say no to attending this school.. it’s not worth the money.. I switched them over to Colour Their World after a teacher at Creative World School told me about them and it has literally been the best decision ever.. my three year old got potty trained IN A DAY! They all worked on their tracing everything I felt like I was actually paying for them to get taught something rather than being babysat

OMG where do i begin!!!! I love this school. My son has been going here for about year already and he LOVES it…. The ladies in the front are AMAZING.. They are ALWAYS smiling and understanding with everything. My son teacher Ms.Janet is AWSOME.. My son loves her. Im so amaze how much he learns and knows for only being 3 years old. I would recommend this school to ANY parent looking for a PERFECT daycare. The only issue i have is the tuition is expensive but you know what its worth it……….

My daughter has been attending Creative World since August of 2017 for the VPK program, and I dont believe I could have picked a better school for her. She and I absolutely love her teachers Ms. Chandan and Ms.T. They take the time to really teach, and I love all the new things she continues to learn everyday. I cannot be more thankful for Creative World and all of its staff for taking such good care of my daughter. My youngest starts VPK next year, and theres no hesitation that thats where she will also be going! Thank you!!

Love this facility. Had to take my son out because it is a little pricey per week for a 4 year old thats not yet in VPK, but you get what you pay for Ive learned. I will be re-enrolling him in the next few weeks or at the beginning of the year. The teachers are great and friendly and the office staff is amazing as well.

We love how much Creative World School (CWS) feels like an extension of our family. We are provided with updates throughout the day, are notified of concerns and kept abreast of all pertinent information. We enrolled our son nearly a year ago and it is apparent that he is receiving excellent care and treatment daily from a devoted staff who works together and are committed to his growth and development. As first-time parents, it was very important to us to find the safest and cleanest daycare possible complete with a competent staff of helpful employees as well as a progressive curriculum as our son continues through his various developmental stages.The deep care and concern shown to our son does not appear to be unique to the CWS branch that he attends as another family were really close to, whose son is two months younger than ours, have their little one enrolled in a different CWS across town and they have the same good things to say. Actually, they are even more emphatic than we are because their son previously attended a different daycare that was absolutely HORRIBLE (in their words). TRUST ME WE OBSERVE EVERYONE at the CWS our son attends and have yet to see inappropriate conduct or handling of children. We feel extremely confident that CWS was the best choice for our family and we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them!Though there are mixed reviews, we would encourage each parent and/or family to visit the facility, meet the staff and form your own opinion because as we all know, everyones standards are different and at the risk of sounding obnoxious, ours are pretty high where our kid is concerned but CWS is doing more than a satisfactory job. They are actually quite amazing! Thank you CWS team for your continued support, service and everything that you all do to give our child a great experience while in your care! We really appreciate you all!RJs parents! (Carlisha and Robert)

Recently relocated to the area and having a hard time finding a quality childcare center in the Brandon/Tampa area. Ive contacted this school 3 times in 3 months for a VPK spot for my daughter which I learned recently via email that they did have available. I was instructed by Kristen Parker in this email to call and set up an appointment to walk through the facility. I called, spoke to a women with zero professionalism on the phone she put me on hold twice and took a phone message for an appointment. That was 8 days ago. I followed up with another email to Kristen stating I had called to make an appointment and have yet to hear anything. No response. This is not acceptable. If they cannot manage to return a phone call or email, I can only imagine what goes on when parent are working. I would avoid this facility. If the management team is this unprofessional I can only imagine the type of employees they hire.

My daughter has been in the Part-time VPK for the last 4-5 months and we absolutely love it! We did A LOT of research and toured many diferent schools in the area. When I toured this school, I really liked the vibe I got and the staff was very informative-which was not the case at many of the other facilities. Even though I had heard some not so great reviews from a friend and online reviews - I decided to go with my instinct and give it a shot. It was a great instinct. My daughter loves going to school and has a good connection with the teachers and some of the other staff there. Ms. Talet & Ms. Corey are very caring, patient, and you can see the love they have for their class. Ms. Kristen has filled in a lot for the teachers when they are out and shes great as well. I would definitely recommend this school to others.

Like any parent, when it came time to find a daycare I was praying for a school whose staff would love and attend for my child as I would. I visited and carefully researched over 15 daycares in the Tampa Bay area and found very few I felt comfortable sending my child to for seven to eight hours each day. As a teacher myself, I realize how much time my son is going to spend in school and I wanted this time to be spent with happy, caring people. Creative World, in Brandon, is EVERYTHING I was hoping for! The director Renae Hayes knows every child, every parent. She helps you feel comfortable that your child will be happy and safe from the second you walk in the door. My son’s teachers, Octavia and Rashani, are absolutely wonderful. Both are patient, supportive, creative, and kind. They provide you with detailed information on your child’s day when you pick them up and they often show you fun pictures of what your student did that day. The curriculum of play is exactly what I was looking for (just walk into the exploratorium and you’ll want to stay all day long)! Honestly, the search for a good daycare in this area was much harder than I ever imagined, but it was well worth the hunt (we actually drive 30 minutes from South Tampa just to get to this daycare – it’s that great). My advice is to visit. I knew from the second I walked in. I hope you will too!

Do NOT send your child here if you are interested in them learning or want a safe environment for them. This is one of the most poorly organized schools I have seen! It may look nice and seem like a great school but it is not! My child has been going here for too long now and I am changing him ASAP!! There are a few good teachers there but most of them are there for a paycheck or have not been properly trained! The child to teacher ratio is almost ALWAYS maxed out to the fullest! And most of the teachers cannot handle that many children at one time! But can you blame them? I would not be able to either! Its complete and utter chaos!! My child cries now every day when I take him to school! It just breaks my heart! My child is always getting in trouble and hitting the teachers and saying bad words.. These are not things my child EVER does!! The teachers are a little too forceful at times and if you put your hands on a child when they are upset and try to move them to a different room or try and make them sit down, more times than not you are going to make the situation worse! I do not agree with their methods and the Exploratorium that they advertise so much.. They dont even let the children use that huge room! Some of the older kids get to use it once in a while, but not the younger ones. Everything is just a show there! I am shocked to see all these good reviews, but these have been from a few years back. For the price they charge it is definitely not worth your money and your child will not be getting the learning curriculum you sign up for. I was also told my child would be with the same teacher all day except for the transition for VPK. That is another lie! He has anywhere from 3 to 5 different teachers a day!! The teacher turnaround is also horrible. I see new faces every week!! If youre just looking for a place to keep your kid while you go to work this will be fine, but if you want your child to be learning and taken care of while you cannot be there with them, dont go here! Also the teachers are unable to watch everything that is going on with so many kids in their class! With 4 year olds they are allowed to have up to 20 to one teacher! That is insane to me and totally unacceptable! Most dont take the time to talk to the children and figure out what is going on. They just blame the child they seen doing wrong whether or not there was another child that hit them or pushed them down. They dont listen to the kids or believe them when they try to explain what has happened. But like I said, there are a few good teachers there but not enough to where I feel my child is safe! It makes me sick to have to send him here now! And I could go on and on about more things some of the teachers have told me but I think I have said enough. This school has a lot of potential but is lacking in so many areas, it is such a waste!! They are just babysitters, not teachers!! Keep looking for a different center to send your child!
