Creative World School at Leander
About Our School
Welcome to Creative World School at Leander, proudly serving Leander families since 2020! Conveniently located just east of US Highway 183 (just in front of Lakewood Park and across the street from Rouse High School & Knox Wiley Middle School), we offer an engaging, innovative approach to early education that inspires creativity, critical thinking, and a love for learning. Families trust us to provide a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for infants, toddlers, twos, preschool, Pre-K, and school-age children, supported by our state-of-the-art facility with advanced security features and a team of highly trained, dedicated educators who prioritize each child’s growth and success.
Our unique Exploratorium™ program, designed exclusively for preschool and Pre-K students, invites children to explore hands-on activities in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM), fostering inquiry and imagination every day. For school-age children up to 12 years old, we provide CW Kid’s Club, our exciting before- and after-school care with transportation to and from local elementary schools, as well as CampTastic, our fun-filled spring, summer, and winter break camps.

CW Cares: Giving Back
We believe children of all ages can learn to give back! Through our partnership with Alex’s Lemonade Stand, we support childhood cancer research with our very own lemonade stands and fun activities integrated into our curriculum. Local initiatives like Trike-a-Thon, Pink Out Day, and seasonal food drives help us give back to our community year-round.
What Makes Us Unique?
In addition to our high-quality curriculum, we work with you to ensure your child is growing and learning every day. Here are just some of the ways we are committed to excellence.
Ongoing communication through the CW App allows you to have direct access to your child’s Care Routines and Learning Moments.
A monthly Curriculum Showcase features long-term projects and inquiry experiences.
Quarterly Portfolio Showings show you how we track and record your child’s achievements in specific milestones and learning domains.
At Creative World School, mealtime is more than just eating—it’s an opportunity for learning and connection. Each of our classrooms enjoys “Family-Style” dining together, fostering a sense of community through bonding and conversation in a familiar setting. This special time helps children develop essential social skills, including practicing table manners and learning how to share and collaborate. Our dedicated, on-site cook prepares nutritious, kid-friendly meals every day, ensuring children are fueled for fun and learning. We believe that healthy, delicious food served in a warm, welcoming environment helps children thrive.
Creative World School is proud to enjoy the distinction of being Cognia System Accredited. This means that an external body of professionals in education have affirmed that our schools maintain the highest standards of leadership, safety, and education. Our commitment to being our best for our students extends to every level of our licensing, standards, professionalism, and growth!
