Creative Play Preschools - Creative Play News

Creative Play Preschools has been serving Topeka area children for over thirty years. We follow a theme-based curriculum where children are encouraged to develop their self-identity, self-esteem and learning skills during a two-hour structured class time. Weekly activities focus on basic academics (letters, numbers, colors, shapes and more), listening skills, following instructions, crafts, social skills, sharing, fine and gross motor development activities.and, having fun. A daily snack is also a part of each class day. We offer a regular Wellness Program which places an emphasis upon a child's healthy eating habits and having muscles that are strong.

We are a nine-month program licensed with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment for children ages 3, 4 and 5. Class capacity is 24 children with two teachers per class. To attend, Children must be toilet trained, have a current health assessment, conducted no more than six months prior to the date of enrollment and immunizations up to date. Our Parents Handbook and additional required paperwork is available upon enrollment or by request. We release children only to those persons you have authorized to do so.
