Creek Day School has been teaching and caring for kids ages 2-5 on Madison's south side since 1975 when it was established.   By 1980 the school had incorporated into a non-profit and moved to its present location at 2509 McDivitt Road, where it leases space from the Arbor Covenant Church.

Creek Day School provides full-day, year-round childcare to a diverse group of  35 children.  The four teachers and director have a combined tenure of more than 100 years teaching at Creek Day School.   The children benefit from this experience with playful lessons in art, music, letters, numbers, science, and literacy.  The teachers set up rich environments both in the classroom and outside on a spacious play area  that stimulate young minds to learn through play.  The program is non-religious and open and accepting of all children and families.
