We’ve been around the block when it comes to preschools, but Creative Beginnings stopped our search for the ideal preschool. Here’s why: Mrs. Wiklund and Mrs. Aronoff are top notch teachers(this comes from a very picky teacher mom) who treat the kids with love and respect, but also have clear expectations for behavior and procedures. They use gentle reminders and redirecting to get kids back on track, techniques I appreciate after witnessing more negative approaches elsewhere. There’s a perfect balance of free choice time and structured learning activities. Your child will be ready for kindergarten after spending time with these pros. They also offer a couple of field trips and speakers visit the classroom often. The teacher/student ratio is also amazing! Creative Beginnings takes the cake on Schaumburg preschools.
