First things first…
how old is your child?
Pick the closest answer. No math required. We promise. 😄

Even if you're still figuring it out, give us your best guess.
Quick Eastvale question… 📍
Do you live or work in Eastvale, California?
And where should we send your “hello”? 💌
We'll use this only to follow up about care and availability.
No pressure. No hard sell. Just a friendly next step.
You did it!
Thanks for telling us a little about your family. Your next step is to connect with Creative Learning Key so we can talk about your child's needs and current availability.
Let's talk childcare 💛A little learning. A lot of love.
We want children to feel safe, seen, curious and excited to come back tomorrow.
School-age children welcome
Need care when school is out? We welcome school-age children for off-track days, seasonal breaks and after-school drop-offs, subject to availability.
Personalized attention
Our small teacher-to-child ratio helps us know the child—not just the name on the attendance sheet.
Learning that feels like play
Lesson plans blend foundational skills, creativity and STEM activities into a warm preschool experience.
Care for the whole child
Healthy meals, potty-training support and a safe, nurturing environment are part of the experience.
A home away from home
We are now enrolling ages birth to 12 years, and offer age-appropriate curriculum and activities that challenge each age group to spark curiosity, creativity and enhance critical thinking skills.
Family oriented Schedules and Programs
We keep it simple. Your little one's childcare schedule is cookie-cutter around the needs of the family and the stage of development of each child. This way, family time remains the nucleus of your child's learning adventures in his /her busy gigantic world! So, whether you need a program catering to 2 days or 5, full-time or part time, or just half a day we are here for you just a neighborhood away.
A familiar face. A whole lot of heart.
Hi I'm Ms. Nico! Director of Creative Learning Key family childcare. We are located in the beautiful city of Eastvale in a wonderful and friendly neighborhood. I am a former Montessori preschool and Kindergarten teacher with over 30+ years of experience working with children. I am also a mother of two very lovely daughters of which I am extremely proud. As a former Analyst for the United States Government, I had a daily commute of more than 100 miles a day, 5 days a week, in grueling traffic for 20 years. I know all too well about the scarcity of finding a quality care provider that is open for business early enough to make it to work on time Not only do you need early hours, equally important is to find a provider offering a safe and nurturing environment where children are excited to attend, happy, and able to thrive. For these exact reasons I decided to offer parents an alternative package of care. Parents can have more flexibility in hours, a place where their children will be safe, and in a program that promotes creativity.
Our Approach to Learning
Creative Learning Key Child Care believes in creating a learning environment for children that respects them as competent children that are full of potential. We encourage a more hands on approach to learning that fosters critical thinking, creativity, empowerment, and the enhancement of self-esteem. We believe this type of learning allows children to learn by being curious, creative, and becoming critical thinkers which will become very important to them in life long skills. Our approach to learning is a combination of what is traditional learning for children, Montessori approach, and the Reggio Emilia approach. Children have a lot of say in what they are learning and how they want to learn. Our job is to guide children in the right way as we learn from them and add to the suggested learning environment.

Real words from families who have experienced Creative Learning Key.
This daycare has been such an amazing experience for my son and our whole family. The staff truly goes above and beyond for the kids and always keeps great communication with me, which I really appreciate.
I love that they not only provide my son with so much care, love, and comfort, but also focus on preparing him for his future education. Every day he comes home excited, proud, and ready to show off something new he’s learned.
I highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a supportive, nurturing, and educational environment for their child!
I've had my daughter in this daycare for about a month and a half, and so far, things have been great! During my initial search for daycare, Ms. Nico was very responsive and answered all of my questions. She even made time for us to tour the place during hours that were convenient for us. During the tour, she was thorough with the expectations and introduced us to Ms. Esma. My girl has been thriving here and loves going to her daycare. I get updates and am always confident that my child is taken care of when she's away from home. She is provided both snacks and lunch, often coming home with crafts and activities she did for the day. I definitely recommend this daycare!
After a lot of looking around and trying out other facilities, we are happy to say that we have finally found the right childcare for our daughter. She is turning 3 soon, and we were searching for a stimulating environment.
I knew we made the right decision when our daughter asked, “Can we go to Miss Nico's now?” the moment she woke up after just a couple of days there! She typically takes much longer to warm up to new places.
Our daughter adores Miss Nico as do we. The environment she creates is loving and educational. You can tell she cares about every child and furthering their development and school-readiness. Thank you Miss Nico! As our daughter likes to say, you're the best!
We attended CLK for almost two years and we loved everything about it. Being a mom of a "pandemic baby" comes with its own set of nerves and anxieties. Our son started with Ms Nico at 8 months old and she was superb at transitioning him (and myself) into the new setting. His 1st time away from mom and dad, 1st time around other little ones and in the middle of a pandemic. Ms Nico is hands down one of the greatest childcare educators to ever do it and we are so thankful that we were able to be apart of this program.
Ms. Nico is phenomenal with the kids she cares for them as if they are her own, she is extremely attentive and knowledgeable. She is by the book, loving, kind, fair, and always goes above and beyond to give the kids and families alike an enjoyable experience. Her safety practices are outstanding! Especially in a time like we're in, you have to be. There were daily health screenings and checks to maintain safety. She made sure to keep her facility and all the kids in it safe and healthy.
Our son grew leaps and bounds socially and developmentally. When he left, he was able to read and recognize all of his letters numbers colors and shapes and he wasn't even 2 yet. She is teaching sound curriculum in a very fun way for the little ones. This program is extraordinary and we are blessed and grateful for our time spent. You will not be disappointed in the experience you have with Ms. Nico and CLK. The only reason we are no longer there is because we moved far away for my job, and even still, we were trying to figure out how to bring Ms Nico with us, LOL! We are thankful and will remember all the great things this experience has left us with. Thank you Ms Nico and CLK you're the best!
My daughter started here just before she turned 2 and we love it here! Her teacher is Ms Nico and we absolutely love her! She is super sweet and calm with my daughter and we love seeing her every day. Ms Nico is really great at providing updates throughout the day and very consistent with providing photos throughout the day. This is truly appreciated, especially since this is my daughter's first time being away from home. Thank you Ms Nico, Miss Kiki. Our experience with this daycare has been nothing than wonderful. I would highly recommend this childcare facility.
Best in the area 😇
Ms. Niko really helped my 2 year old transition into daycare after being home with just her dad and I. My daughter made so many improvements in her development there...socializing, counting, talking, singing, identifying things, recognizing shapes and letters, and putting together puzzles. My daughter would come home so excited to show me her art or letter tracing and talking about her favorite classmate. Ms. Niko always made special occasions like birthdays and holidays extra fun for the kids. Sadly we moved and switched daycares, but my daughter tells me how much she misses Ms.Niko. Ms. Niko and her daycare was a blessing and I thank her immensely for it.
