Unique features
-
Individualized Curriculum
Every child learns differently. This is the fundamental, guiding belief behind all of our programs and offers at CTA, and this is why we focus on an individualized curriculum. Just as no two students are alike, no two programs are alike. We firmly believe that regardless of your age, grade, or learning level, your education should be customized to you.
-
Project-Based Learning
We used an innovative educational approach that engages young children in hands-on, meaningful projects. These projects are designed to spark curiosity, promote exploration, and foster a love of learning. In a preschool setting, PBL encourages children to investigate real-world problems, ask questions, and develop solutions through collaborative and creative activities.
-
LOW STUDENT-TEACHER RATIOS
We believe that low student-teacher ratios are fundamental to providing a nurturing, supportive, and effective learning environment for young children. By prioritizing this approach, we ensure that every child can thrive and reach their full potential.
-
EXPERIENCED & CERTIFIED TEACHERS
At our preschool, we believe that the foundation of a great education starts with experienced certified teachers. Their expertise, dedication, and passion for teaching ensure that each child receives the highest quality education, setting them on a path for lifelong success and a love of learning.
-
HEALTHY CHEF-PREPARED MEALS
We believe that providing healthy chef-prepared meals is a vital part of our commitment to nurturing the overall well-being of each child. By offering nutritious and delicious meals, we support the physical health, cognitive development, and lifelong healthy habits of our young learners.

We have been awarded by the Florida Association for Child Care Management (FACCM) in meeting high standards in various areas of operation, ensuring quality education and care for young children.

We have an enriched and comprehensive educational program designed to go beyond traditional early childhood education. This approach aims to foster critical thinking, creativity, and a deeper understanding of various subjects, preparing young children for future academic success and lifelong learning.

“I have 4 little ones currently going to Creative Times Academy. My oldest is in VPK and my youngest is in the nursery. I am beyond pleased with the staff at CTA. They are very nurturing and supportive. My daughter’s VPK teacher Ms. June has been there for 19 years. She is very good with kids and has somehow got my daughter (who is a picky eater) to try new foods. My kids are happy going to school and I feel comfortable leaving them in the care of CTA. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking for a nurturing environment for their kids.”- Peta-Gaye Doyley
“My daughter has been attending since she was 3 months old! We’ve gone through many transitions with the school and have never once doubted the care she receives here. The teachers are warm and kind. The leadership and teachers are always looking for ways to improve the learning experiences of the kids and partner with parents. The new director has worked tirelessly to restart their before and after school transportation program! It’s such a help for the kids to be able to continue there as they move into K-12 for families with parents who cannot adjust their work schedules for school bell times. Highly recommend checking them out if you’re in the area and are interested in somewhere that can grow with your child — from 6 weeks to 5th grade!”- Tarin Haydt
“My child hasn’t had the best experience with other daycares in the area but Creative Times Academy has been by far the BEST in the New Tampa/ Wesley Chapel area.
