Why we love CPC...

"I had the honor and privilege of being at Creative Play Center for 6 years in a row with two different children. Honestly, my experience at CPC is something that will ALWAYS stand out fondly in my life. I met friends who I will have for a lifetime, saw moments while co-oping that will stay in my mind forever, and met children who left an imprint in my heart. Being involved with a school like CPC is such a unique and wonderful experience that it’s actually difficult to put such experience into words. I think the thing that stands out the most to me about CPC is that I learned how much one can love not only her own child, but the children of others as well. Spending time with children, getting to know them, and watching them blossom as they go from age 2 through 5 is absolutely precious and priceless. I am proud of the decision I made of choosing CPC for me and my children, as the fantastic memories will affect all of us forever."

"I attended CPC as a preschooler and have many wonderful memories of that time. When it came time to select my son's preschool, CPC was a natural choice. On my first day co-oping I was excited to find that they still sing the same birthday song I remembered after all these years! I still see what my parents saw in CPC and love being able to spend time in the classroom with my son and his preschool friends. I know that they are not only exploring, learning and playing but that they are building memories that will last their lifetime too."

"We could not have picked a better Preschool for our son.  I visited several preschools, but the first time I toured Creative Play Center, I thought to myself, "If I were a kid, this is exactly where I would want to go. It seemed to be a fun, creative and safe environment. And, it turned out to be that, and so much more. Not only has my son learned socially and academically, but I have learned how to be a better parent. I’m thankful that I had the chance to participate in my son’s school, to watch him grow and learn."

"Creative Play Center has been the perfect preschool for our kids! Their pre-academic programs are developmentally appropriate for children ages 3-5 years. The wonderful teachers are very knowledgeable, nurturing, and obviously enjoy their work. Every inch of the facility is thoughtfully planned out to encourage children to explore, learn, and have fun while making new friends. I would highly recommend CPC to anyone who is considering a co-op for their child. My husband and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to co-op with our children at CPC...it has been a gift for our entire family."

"Having no family in the Bay Area, I really enjoyed the connections and relationships that I made at CPC.  My CPC friends are my Bay Area family whom I turn to for support and friendship."

 "I am now at CPC with my third child and I love it just as much as when we started in 2005.  The community is amazing and I know my children are all well cared for by loving teachers and parents who are there everyday.  As a co-oper, there is nothing better than watching a child have that “ah ha” moment.  I have become a better parent because of CPC and that has been a bonus for our whole family.  I can’t think of a better place to send a child for their first school experience."
