Serving the community since 1968, Creighton Children's Center operates as an outreach ministry of Creighton United Methodist Church providing a safe and nurturing environment that promotes the physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development of children two to five years of age. Offering full or half-day options, our program provides positive learning experiences which help children develop independence, creativity, self-control, and a positive self-concept through developmentally appropriate activities including language arts, creative arts, pre-reading, early math, science, musical expression, physical activity, and weekly Preschool Chapel time.
We invite you to contact the Center office at 602-952-8689 for more information or to schedule a visit to our facility. Center hours are 7:30am - 5:30pm, Monday through Friday, year-round. We look forward to welcoming you and your children to our Center family!
