East Creek Child Care

National Early Childhood Program Accreditation status means we offer high quality early childhood programs across through “Encouraging Quality and Recognizing Excellence.”  NECPA standards measure quality in the areas of adult/child interaction, health and safety of the physical environment, staff framing, and the relationship between administration, parents, and the community.

We are proud to be a 4-Star Parent Aware child care center. That is the highest rating possible. What that means is we are using school readiness best practices to make sure the children we care for are prepared for kindergarten. 

East Creek Child Care is a nationally accredited, licensed child care center that serves infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. 

East Creek helps children learn and develop by providing opportunities for individualized, concrete, experiential learning to encourage a love-to-learn attitude.

Highly trained and experienced staff members use Creative Curriculum to plan for and support each child's early learning. The philosophy is to foster high quality experiences for children, parents, and staff while we connect and interact as a team.
