  • At Creative World, our teachers are Montessori trained and/or certified for 0-3 or 3-6 year olds.
  • Ours is a warm, nurturing, professional staff who always puts the child's needs first.
  • Montessori is a hands-on, interactive approach to learning.
  • Through special materials and guidance from the directress, the child's spirit, creativity and imagination are awakened.
