My daughter always smiles so big when we walk into the building! Even though she can’t talk yet, I know she really likes it here. The staff and teachers know her by name and always greet us! We love that we chose creative world!

Our daughter loves Creative World School. She entered her class in January of 2018. The staff was loving and attentive as she transitioned from an at home nanny to a 2.5 - 3 year old class. She talks about her teachers often, and is learning so many songs and games. She is excited about the activities and having new friends. We would recommend Create World School to any friends or family!

I worked there for nearly 4 years before relocating due to my husbands career and it was an outstanding experience for both employees and parents.I was brought on board after a vigorous hiring and training process to ensure they employ nothing but the best to carry out their curriculum and meet the needs of the children they serve. After searching for a true preschool I was happy to discover this one! Their curriculum is top notch; ensuring that children are educated while theyre having fun! Its absolutely brilliant; if I had little ones of my own this is where Id want them to be :)

Weve been at CWS for about 9 months now and have transitioned from the nursery to the toddler room with ease and thats because the staff and teachers take such great care of our son as well as all their students. We feel very comfortable and confident that our son is being loved, cared for, and is getting a great educational start. We love hearing about and seeing pictures of all the fun activities they do each day!

Great faculty and staff! The mobile app is awesome. I love being informed in real-time about my son’s day, as well as the reminders and pictures. I feel confident that my son will be safe and in a clean learning environment everyday when I drop him off. Brennan has been here since 6 weeks of age (1 week corrected age due to him being born premature) and his father and I were very nervous to put him in a daycare at such a vulnerable time however, after the 1st week we knew that we had made the best decision coming here. I could go on about all the great things this school has to offer when it comes to childcare but I will just continue to refer the new parents I come across here so they can also have the peace of mind that his father and I share while we are at work. You’re doing an outstanding job taking care of our sweet man. Thank you.

As a new mom I was beyond nervous to leave my daughter all day at a daycare. After touring a few different centers I found Creative World School and love it! My daughter has been attending for 3 months now and I couldnt be happier with her there. Right away Ms. Alexis and Ms. Star made her feel so loved and every day when I pick her up the afternoon teachers (who are great as well) give me a detailed description of what she did that day with them. I definitely recommend this school! :)

Creative World is such a great school. I brought him here after bad experiences at a previous daycare and the staff was so great! He is learning so much and we are so happy we made the switch!

Everything: healthy, well-balanced snacks/food, plenty of outdoor time for a variety of weather conditions, multiple extracurricular offerings, multiple learning spaces, monthly themed learning, field trips, dedicated, loving staff and fun-filled learning! My son talks about what he learned, sings songs from school, points and counts things etc. all day based on what he learned at Creative World! We couldnt be happier!

I absolutely love this school and am actually very sad that my son is going to be moving on to kindergarten and will not be attending anymore. The staff is great and it is always nice to see when your child actually wants to go to school. My son learned so much from attending this pre-school and although he will starting public school at 4 (because of the cut off time and his birthday) I am confident that he will do fantastic! Thanks so much for all the wonderful memories Creative World!!

Our daughter has been attending Creative World since she was three months old. She is now three years old, and we are still pleased with CWS. She has already learned the alphabet, numbers, and basic shapes and colors. Each month, they have a specialized inquiry. This month, it is all about boats.The staff is friendly, and I feel they truly have her best interest at heart. I highly recommend CWS, and I wouldnt leave my child anywhere else.

My son started going there a couple of days after he turned one and I can see his progress over the last three months has been so significant. He knows his colors and shapes already! Before he started attending he refused to walk and within a matter of weeks he started walking and then running! Everyone there love my child almost as much as I do and I couldnt ask for a better place for him to grow and learn. Ms. Jenae and Ms. Alexxis are fully of energy and positivity everyday! Coming from my mother watching hand in her home he made a smooth transition because they made us feel right at home.

My wife and I both were drawn to the fact that the school empowers the teachers to educate the students in a way that is unique to their style. Linda, Penny & Latoya all have gone above and beyond for my child over the past year and a half. The teachers at CWS RiverWalk all know my family by name, and they prove to be personally invested in our well being time and time again. The owner of CWS RiverWalk Mrs. Courtney, went out of her way to work with the families affected by the government shutdown, which was a stress reliever that words cannot explain from my perspective. The director of CWS RiverWalk Ms. Shannon, is likewise just as invested in the well being of her students and their families. I can go on and on but I won’t, though I can say in closing, that this place and the people that ensure it’s success, are amazing.

Creative World has been like a second home for both of my kids. They feel safe, loved and comfortable there to learn and be themselves. My son is in 2nd grade now and still remembers good things about Creative World. My daughter is in Pre-K and I cant say enough good things about all of the great staff and how they get to know the kids and help them learn and play in a great environment. Ill be sad when she graduates and were all done with CWS!

Creative World School is a truly spectacular educational program and environment for early learning. Our two children have been with CWS since infancy and through pre-school. The environment is safe; the programming is curriculum-based, diverse and age-appropriate; the cuisine is nutritious and thoughtful; and the staff and teachers are thoughtful, gracious, and committed to the welfare and growth of the children they care for and teach. After experiencing two other early childhood learning centers (one in Chesapeake, and another in Norfolk), the quality of the staff and programming at CWS proved difficult to top! Our family highly values and appreciates CWS -- truly an early-learning academy for infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers.

We stumbled upon Creative World in 2014 after having a terrible experience at a local montessori academy that left our 4-year-old son reeling. We knew we had to get it right, and toured literally every private preschool in Chesapeake and even a few in VA Beach/Norfolk. My first impression of Creative World was that the environment was warm, inviting, and vibrant. It seemed too good to be true, but we took a leap of faith and hoped for the best. We have been beyond impressed with this gem of a school and are so lucky to have found it.The staff at Creative World are amazing. They go above and beyond to ensure the kids are having fun, being challenged, and feel safe and loved. Our son went from crying over going to school each day to having a smile on his face each day when we picked him up. I think the biggest difference between this school and others weve seen is that at Creative World, the kids are valued and treated like human beings. Their voices are heard, their different opinions and personalities are respected, and they feel like they are a part of the community (a big part!). At the graduation, the staff went out of their way to make sure the kids felt proud of themselves and knew that this was a special day for them. It was as good or better than any high school graduation Ive ever been to!Creative World is bursting at the seams with creativity. The pre-K curriculum is bar none. Every day the kids are doing hands-on projects, learning concepts typically reserved for older children. The classrooms are covered with the kids work, and each class guides its own journey through the current topic. We received an amazing portfolio at the end of the year that chronicled our sons journey through pre-K, complete with photos and personal assessments.Another important aspect of this school that I thoroughly appreciate is how the school administration interacts with parents. Many schools Ive been a part of have an invisible wall between administration and parents - its us vs. them. Not the case here. Parents are welcome in the classrooms, the administration is kind and communicative, and the staff are all receptive to our opinions and needs.This is a close-knit school that offers a supportive, loving environment, competent teachers, and an outstanding curriculum all at once.

First, the staff of CWS - Riverwalk is great. There were some issues we experienced, as with any childcare, and the Director fielded our concerns promptly and professionally. Likewise, the teachers welcome the regular feedback and heads up you expect with a toddler.Second, CWS - Riverwalk is clean and in good repair. The facility has two well-stocked playgrounds (playground equipment, balls, tricycles, helmets, etc.) that complement the indoor Imaginarium, which has multiple learning / play stations. Each classroom has kid size sinks and toilets and we attribute these to being a big help in our successful potty training. Lastly, the decor in each room is constantly updated with the current curriculum and photos of kids in that class. My son really feels that is his classroom.Third, our son has not yet experienced the kindergarten transition process, so I cannot comment on it, but I am optimistic as the plan that CWS - Riverwalk has appears to be very thorough.There are some things to consider, though. The school closes early (at 3 PM) very often, usually before a holiday. Not everyone gets to leave work early before a holiday, so this is an aggravating challenge. Also, the school closes at 6 PM regularly, which is tough given work and traffic. Also, we have not seen any Parents Night Out offerings. Lastly, the school does not stick to a strict regimen for the kids, so some days we get a toddler who has not napped.If you can work around the schedule challenges, I would recommend CWS - Riverwalk. Your child will be will taken care of and will enjoy himself or her self while learning. If you do enroll here, I suggest forgoing the Fun Bus. It is an extra expense that does not add value over what the school fundamentally offers.
