About Our School

Welcome to Creative World School at Land O’ Lakes, proudly serving our Land O’ Lakes families since 2009! Conveniently located at the intersection of Land O’ Lakes Blvd. (Hwy 41) and Ensemble Blvd., right across the street from the Connerton neighborhood, 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 our Pre-K families, we offer Florida’s Voluntary Prekindergarten Program (VPK), a free, high-quality early learning opportunity that prepares children for success in kindergarten and beyond. 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.

Visit our school today to see our curriculum in action and discover how we combine fun, learning, and care in our World of Wonder, right here in Land O’ Lakes!

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!

What Makes Us the Right Choice for your Family?

Of course, you want the best care, education, and social experiences for your child. We encourage you to check out our competition and see how they compare. Here are some of the quality indicators to look for:

  • Health and Safety: Equipment is durable and properly maintained. Visitors are closely monitored at all times. Environments are clean and maintained throughout the day.
  • Learning Environment: Teachers provide a high level of supervision and guidance. Children have ample opportunities to develop socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically.
