In 1993, Linda Grubenhoff and her son Doug bought their first childcare center at the urging of two friends in the business who knew they would be naturals working with kids. They purchased the Creative Center in 1996. Creative Center has been in the business of taking care of children for over 30 years. It is a special place where each child is valued as a unique and special individual.

Linda and Doug believe that a childcare facility must be a home away from home for kids; a place to feel safe, a place to grow, a place to have fun and to be happy, a place where kids want to come every day. They have created this kind of environment by supporting a balance of learning and fun.

Creative Center values all aspects of your child's development. They feature a core curriculum that embraces your child's intellectual, physical, social and emotional growth. They believe that each day is a special day, filled with potential for adventure and fun.

Dedicated to ensuring that Creative Center is one of the finest childcare facilities in the valley, Doug is on site everyday and is actively involved in your child's experience and development.

Creative Center believes that key to your child's optimal development is the partnership between the childcare staff and the parent. They believe that it is essential for parents to be involved and active participants in their child's experience. The door is always open at Creative Center. Linda and Doug encourage you to visit them and see for yourself what makes Creative Center so special.
