About Creative World Children's Academy

At Creative World Children’s Academy, we believe every child deserves a nurturing, engaging, and supportive environment to thrive during their earliest years. Located in the heart of Reno, our premier preschool is dedicated to fostering school readiness, physical development, and social-emotional growth for children from toddlerhood through preschool.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to inspire a lifelong love of learning while helping each child develop the skills they need to succeed in school and beyond. We prioritize personalized attention, keeping teacher-child ratios lower than state requirements to ensure every child receives the care and guidance they deserve.

A Holistic Approach to Learning

Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to meet Nevada State Pre-K Standards, covering key areas such as cognitive development, language skills, creativity, and physical health. Using a hands-on approach, we integrate science, math, literature, and art into daily activities, sparking curiosity and creativity.

A State-of-the-Art Facility

Creative World’s campus is more than a school—it’s a space where children can explore, play, and grow. Our half-acre landscaped playground includes commercial-grade play structures, grassy areas for running, tricycle paths, and even an on-site swim center. We also provide gymnastics and other activities to support physical development.

Health and Safety First

We are committed to creating a healthy and safe environment for all our students. Organic snacks, milk, and filtered water are served daily, and our classrooms are sanitized with eco-friendly products. Thick, comfortable nap pads provide a cozy spot for rest, ensuring children are recharged for their next adventure.

A Partnership with Families

We value the connection between home and school, encouraging families to visit during the day and participate in special events. Our active social media presence gives parents a window into their child’s daily experiences, creating a strong sense of community and trust.
