CreArt Early Education & Preschool - San Rafael, California

CreArt has been a true blessing for my family!
As an anxious mom, placing my daughter in daycare was one of the hardest experiences of my life. I toured so many centers in Marin, but none felt quite right—until I met Patricia and her amazing team at CreArt.

From the moment my husband and I walked in for our tour, I knew we had found the place. The rooms are bright and filled with natural colors, the toys are thoughtfully chosen, and everything is designed to help children thrive. But what stood out the most was the love and dedication of the teachers. You can see how much they love what they do, and that’s the most important thing when it comes to caring for children.

Patricia has always made my family feel seen. Her gentle approach helped ease my daycare anxiety, and it gave me so much peace to know my daughter was in such a nurturing space. Every day, as I dropped off my baby, I felt reassured—knowing she was safe, hugged, nurtured, and truly loved.

I will always be grateful for CreArt and the foundation it has given my daughter. If you are searching for a daycare where your child will be cherished, supported, and encouraged to grow, look no further—this is the place.

Both of my kids attended CreArt from an early age (my youngest was 10 months) and I am incredibly grateful for the peace-of-mind Pati and the whole school gave us. The teachers are incredibly warm and caring, the environment is clean and safe, and they spend lots of time outdoors (weather permitting) which was very important to us. There are often times my children want to stay with the teachers instead of going home, which shows how happy they are there!

The school has become family to us, and it was very bittersweet when my oldest (who had attended CreArt for almost 4 years!) graduated to go to kindergarten. We are glad that our youngest is still attending this wonderful school! Pati puts so much love and care into the school, and we are so lucky that we could join such a welcoming community.

Our son attended CreArt's infant program 5 days a week starting when he was a bit more than a year old. CreArt is a fantastic environment where I could trust that my son would be safe and loved. The staff is professional and each of the caregivers was attentive and caring to our boy.

The classroom and environment were filled with quality and clean toys and equipment. Pati the owner/manager is an absolute delight. She's highly professional and invests in her team's skills and knowledge. Furthermore as a leader she is empathic to each of the children under her care and is attentive to each family's needs and circumstances.

Additionally the preschool organizes fun events for families that helps create a broader sense of community among parents. We were really pleased with our son's time there and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a daycare or preschool. It's a testament to CreArt that many families come from beyond the Terra Linda area to attend.

I could not recommend this daycare more. My baby has been going here four days a week since he was five months old. He has tons of one on one attention, gets stories, songs, and outdoor activity. The director Tricia truly cares about the individual needs and development of every child and the care providers are SOO amazingly loving, sweet, and interactive with my little guy. He LOVES going to school, smiles every time he knows we walk down the hall towards the door, and has never once cried when I dropped him off. It is such a relief to be able to work and know that is is happy, getting all his needs met, and enjoying this enriching program.

A CreArt foi a primeira escola que meus filhos estudaram, o mais novo foi com 4 meses e a mais velha com 2 anos .
Eu só tenho a agradecer por todo apoio, dedicação e cuidado que todos na escola tiveram com os meus filhos.
Logo depois do início deles na escola, veio a descoberta de autismo para a minha filha mais velha , e lá , eu tive todo o suporte da extensão do tratamento para ela . As portas da escola sempre estiveram abertas para os terapeutas , os professores participavam das reuniões para saber no que poderiam ajudar, entendiam sua dificuldade e adaptavam de maneira que fosse melhor para minha filha. Um amor sem tamanho !
Eu sou extremamente grata por todo o tempo que eles estiveram estudando la , onde se desenvolveram e aprenderam muito !!
