Established over 20 years ago in Inkster, MI, KKLC is a family-owned, culturally sensitive childcare center dedicated to creating an inclusive, nurturing, and educational environment for children ages 0-12.

A Glimpse into Our Day

Our daily routine is thoughtfully structured to provide a balance of guided activities, free play, and group interactions:

Message Board: Our day starts with gathering at the message board, a large-group activity where announcements are shared, and children learn about the day’s schedule.
Book Time: Reading sessions are designed to spark imagination, encourage literacy, and foster a love for stories.
Plan-Do-Review: This segment empowers children to set goals, carry them out, and reflect on their experiences, promoting responsibility and self-direction.
Small Group Time: Focused, age-specific activities allow for individualized attention, fostering skills in a smaller setting.
Large Group Time: This time supports social skills, teamwork, and communication in a fun, interactive group environment.
Outside Time: We recognize the importance of outdoor play, encouraging physical activity, exploration, and creativity in a safe outdoor setting.

Kreative Kids Learning Center FAQ's

Childcare Is Not Babysitting

Childcare is a regulated and licensed early learning option for families. As a facility of such high standard, we consider childcare an early learning opportunity for families that are in need of this essential service.

Early childhood development is a myth

High-quality early learning classrooms are joyful places where children actively move about, explore materials, interact with others, laugh, sing, and dance. Because a preschool classroom is structured differently from a classroom for older children, some mistakenly assume that preschool children are not learning anything important. Nothing could be further from the truth. Young children learn through play, and for that reason, quality early learning classrooms are strategically designed to engage children in purposeful play, encouraging them to be active participants in their own learning.

Early childhood education is too expensive

How will we ever believe that early child education is worth the cost when we don’t believe in its science? Multiple studies across universities have analyzed the costs and benefits associated with early learning programs. It has been concluded that high-quality early learning programs yield an annual return on investment of 7% to 13% through better outcomes in education, health, sociability, economic productivity and reduced crime. And that is only the monetary benefit. There are other indirect benefits to children, families, and communities. For example, how does one calculate the value of a child avoiding failure because he received a strong start in school? Or the value of a parent watching her child become the first in the family to earn a college degree? Or of a community changing its educational trajectory in one generation? These are the real, but intangible effects of children having access to high-quality early learning.

Careers in early childhood are "glorified babysitting"

Unfortunately, respect by the general public for a career in education is not very high, let alone early childhood education. Teachers, are people who chose to embrace a calling greater than society’s view and salary. Somewhere along the establishment of education, categories and labels were created to measure value. If you were a math and science teacher, you were smarter than a social studies teacher. If you were a highschool teacher, you are more qualified than an elementary school teacher, so on and so forth. Early childhood is a field growing and developing, still very young in it’s science, it maintains the stigma of not teaching. This could not be farther from the truth. Early childhood educators are in fact teachers, ranging from bachelor’s degrees, associate degrees, child development credentials, and continued annual professional eductional trainings.

Young children are not ready for learning

No one is more ready for learning than young children. While the brain continues to grow throughout the human lifespan, the most rapid brain development occurs in the first few years of life. In fact, young children grow over a million neural connections every second, faster than at any other time in their lives. After age five, brain growth slows and existing neural connections become hardwired into the brain, serving as the foundational mortar upon which all other learning will be built. The brain is a highly integrated and complex organ, and the strength of the brain’s foundation affects learning, behavior, and health throughout life. One way to help ensure young children develop strong brain architecture is through high-quality early learning before the age of five.

What Parents Say: KKLC Testimonials

"Hello! I love this center and what they offer. the staff makes me feel at ease and comfort when leaving my child there. I have used this daycare for both my kids now. looking forward for summer camp for both my kids to be involved with all the activities they offer. My younger son currently goes there for about a month now and he is almost 4 years old with no prior experience to daycare. He adjusted right away it only took him 2 days. He is super excited in the morning to go and always eager to play with his friends. Thank you KKLC for the care and support!"

"I love this place! I've had my daughter there since May and she loves it. I see improvement in her daily behavior, I learn new things from her, and I appreciate the passion I see from teachers. Their potty-training program is a lifesaver. We worked together to train her and it only took 2 weeks. They were patient, clean, and very helpful. I can always tell by her mood if she had fun and wants to go back. She is always ready to go the next day! I recommend this place and I like the continuous improvements I see."

"As a first time mom I was afraid of the word daycare. The once home daycare that grew into a daycare and preschool that would nuture, teach and direct all five of my kids has been a blessing. Every morning when I drop my kids they are greeted with smiling faces, the smell of home cooked food and genuinely caring providers. My kids are excited to spend their long days there. I highly recommend Kreative Kids for a fun, safe and secure environment for your child."

"Both of my daughters have went here since they were 8 months. My oldest has been through every classroom including GSRP. My youngest will be attending the GSRP program this year & she has a special relationship with just about all of the staff. We’re super excited to be attending summer camp as well! The foods amazing, the meals they get to eat throughout the day are 5/5! & This is the center to check out!"
