Hear What Parents Have To Say…

I am beyond pleased with the staff at CTA. They are very nurturing and supportive...

I have 4 little ones currently going to Creative Times Academy. 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 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.

The leadership and teachers consistently seek ways to enhance the children’s learning...

My daughter has been attending since she was just three months old! We’ve experienced many transitions with the school, yet we have always felt confident in the care she receives. The teachers are warm and nurturing, and the leadership and teachers consistently seek ways to enhance the children’s learning experiences and partner with parents. I highly recommend checking them out if you’re looking for a place that can grow with your child—from 6 weeks old through 5th grade!

Creative Times Academy has been the absolute best experience for my child...

After trying other daycares in the New Tampa/Wesley Chapel area, Creative Times Academy has been the absolute best experience for my child. She feels at home with her peers and her loving teachers. As a mom, I have peace of mind dropping her off each day, knowing the staff meets her needs and communicates so well with me and her dad. Definitely a 5-star academy!

He has learned so much and is excited to come every day—it’s truly a blessing...

I Love This School For My Son!!! He has learned so much and is excited to come every day—it’s truly a blessing! His teacher is spectacular—my son loves her, and they take fantastic care of him. The administration is so dope! If you’re looking for a place where you have peace of mind when dropping off your child, knowing they’re taken care of and learning so much, then this is the place for you! It’s very affordable, and the care is amazing!

My child looks forward to school and interacting with her friends and teachers! ...

We've had great experiences with CTA so far! We love the staff and feel comfortable leaving our children in their care. The recent change in management is very noticeable, in a positive way! There's more communication and an overall better environment. Most importantly, my child looks forward to school and interacting with her friends and teachers!

My daughter has some medical needs, and they were eager and willing to learn...

We absolutely adore everyone at Creative Times. The directors, Mrs. Pam and Mrs. Nicole, are incredibly kind and truly love the kiddos. My daughter has some medical needs, and they were eager and willing to learn how they could accommodate her. She has been in the infant room since she was six months old (she’s now 14 months), and her teachers, Miss Shelby and Miss Mindy, take amazing care of her. She adores her teachers. We cannot recommend them more—they are amazing!

I love receiving daily pictures of my son during activities and appreciate...

This is the best place my son has been! He loves his VPK class and teachers and wakes up every day excited to go to school. The facility is always clean, unlike others I've visited. I love receiving daily pictures of my son during activities and appreciate the great communication with parents. I recommend Creative Times Academy to everyone!

The teachers and staff are second to none. I see a huge difference in attitude...

Both of my kids (2 and 5) attend Creative Times. The teachers and staff are second to none. I see a huge difference in attitude, and the pre-K program is preparing my 5-year-old for the big E (Elementary School). I'm confident she'll be ahead of the curve when that time comes. We checked six places before settling on CTA and are extremely happy we did. Thanks for taking such good care of our little ones while we're hard at work!

He has blossomed in their supportive environment, and I believe he is well-prepared...

After a bad experience at another school, my youngest switched to Creative Times Academy for VPK. Although he can be a bit shy and stubborn, he has thrived with Ms. Susmita and Ms. Ana. They are patient and loving with all the kids. He has blossomed in their supportive environment, and I believe he is well-prepared to succeed in kindergarten. I cannot thank them enough! If I had another child, I would send them to CTA.

They provide tons of hugs and tell the children they love them daily...

We will wrap up seven years at CTA. The moment I stepped into CTA, I knew it was the right fit for our children—and after seven years, I still feel the same way. The owners, Kim and Melissa, know each child by name, along with their siblings' names, pets' names, favorite foods, and so much more. Every teacher my children have had has been wonderful—loving, comforting, and supportive. I definitely recommend CTA if you want your child to feel like they're going to their second home each day!
