We have been so happy with our time here. Our 2yo daughter started in June and everyday is laughing and so happy when I pick her up at the end of the day. Every afternoon Ms. Mary and the other teachers always have a sweet little story to share about our little A. Today when I arrived the teachers had put her in the cutest little "princess" dress and did her hair up in pretty little ties. She looked like she was in absolute heaven. Beyond just the closeness of this center and the individual care and attention they give each child, I feel very comforted by the fact that the space is small and intimate and that there is always an adult ready and available when I get there. I also want to share that as a working parent there have been a few times in which I have arrived slightly late for drop off and they are always kind yet clear with me about expectations. This morning they even sent me a kind "reminder" via text which was appreciated. As a small business owner I understand setting boundaries, but also appreciate the kindness in the way they present it too ;) Overall, can't say enough kind words about our experience here. I have already recommended Kreative Kidz to several of my friends.

This childcare has been the best I’ve found in Tacoma. The employees HAVE BEEN THERE multiple years and some new- they have ALL BEEN WONDERFUL TO MY SON. I couldn’t ask more from the people who care for my child. I feel blessed to call Mary a friend. This is a wonderfull little spot and I’m glad it’s small because u can’t replicate a Mary. ????????????? thank u Kreative kids for being great to my son. I personally love all of u.

I am very disappointed with my four-month experience with the director Ms. Mary Gonzales and her passive-aggressive behavior towards me and some of her staff members. Ms. Mary comes off as very sweet, fun, and godly until she is having a bad day and wants to target you and your child which will result in you receiving multiple phone calls throughout the week saying that your child is misbehaving. Ms. Mary asks a lot of personal questions and has a very high turnover rate with staff, she gossips about her staff's business and is just overall messy. She brags about having different professional connections within different state departments which can be very threatening. I later found several reviews on yelp from other mothers expressing their concerns about Ms. Mary's behavior. I tried very hard to work with Mary, wanted things to work out for my child, and even asked if the daycare was a good fit for us. Ms. Mary avoided being honest and continued trying to give me a hard time even after I expressed my desperate need for childcare and work. I pulled my child from the daycare after my father passed away and Ms. Mary took advantage of that sensitive moment and called for my child to be picked up early after she had just been dropped off at daycare. With very low vibrational energy, she uses God as a cover-up for her dark behavior. I wish her soul healing because at some point everyone can't be telling a lie about her and these people don't know each other.

My daughter attended this facility while she was in head start and I was more than comfortable leaving her in the hands of Ms. Mary and her staff. This location was a bus stop for head start so I had that transportation option to get my daughter to school which was a bonus. I could drop my daughter off at daycare and the staff would walk her and other children to the outskirt of their gated facility parking lot to have them board the bus. Ms. Mary is kind, more than accommodating, and does a great job managing her childcare business. Due to Covid restrictions, I could not get my daughter and son into her care, so I had to find another option for them. Thank you for all you did for my daughter and I, Ms. Mary! I really appreciate you.

My two older kids (now teens) went there. I felt so lucky to find them then. When we decided to have another child there was never a question of where we would take her. To me, there wasn't another option. This is a safe, friendly, learning focused center. I would recommend it it anyone and frequently do.

This daycare has been a blessing for me and my son, along other families. My son has been behaving much better. Being cared for with out a doubt. I never have a worry. I am frustrated with the fact this vaccine has caused a major issue with everyone and every business but for some it's get the vaccine or not. At this establishment I/my son have felt safe and they have met all the protocols to do so. I don't think it's right to take someone's rights away. While they are the ones taking care of your our children during this time of crisis. I feel as if they should and always should have a choice as individuals. I am sick of people telling us what's best. But that's not freedom of speech, we should have our say. I will be devastated if because they choose not to be vaccinated they will loose their job. I can only hope that the teachers and rest of the faculties at Kreative kids are allowed a choose and not a demand.

This daycare is the BEST hands down. Ms. Mary and her team are AMAZING!!! I can go to work and not have any worries about my kids because i know they are being well taken care of. Ms. Mary is very understanding my son has ADHD and is a handful and her and her team handle him very well. I definitely recommend taking your kids here.

My son went here for 5 years and I was so sad when he left. He was loved and cared for at this daycare. I love the feeling of know that when I’m at work that my child is safe and feed. Now that I have my daughter she goes her and will age out of here as well. The staff and ms Mary a a blessing in the childcare industry. Will recommend this daycare to everyone.

We have been attending this place for over 2 years. Everyone is wonderful!The food allergies post, and the neglect is NOT this location. The incident happened at the location in Parkland WA, not Lakewood.People should learn how to properly use computers BEFORE bashing the wrong location all over the internet. It is also amazing how there are all kinds of 1 star reviews in the past 10 hours, like all of a sudden everyone has an opinion.I HIGHLY recommend the staff and the curriculum at the Lakewood Kreative Kidz location. I can not say enough wonderful things about them.
