"Choosing The Creative Kids Academy in Lynnwood has been the best decision for our family. The center director Katie and all of the teachers are so attentive, warm, and communicative. Our toddler comes home happy every single day with new words and stories. Having healthy organic meals included takes so much stress off our mornings. We could not recommend this school more!"

"Both of our children attended the Lynnwood academy, and their preparation for kindergarten was exceptional. The play-based curriculum fosters genuine curiosity and problem-solving, rather than rigid memorization. Low teacher-to-child ratios mean each child receives genuine attention. Clean, secure, and wonderfully managed by Donna and Katie!"

Everything you need to know about enrollment, daily life, and curriculum at our Lynnwood center before booking your tour.
At our Lynnwood center, we maintain low teacher-to-child ratios that meet and exceed Washington State licensing requirements:
These small group sizes ensure your child receives warm, individualized attention, continuous supervision, and a safe learning environment.
Because our Lynnwood classrooms maintain low student-to-teacher ratios, openings fill up quickly depending on the age group and season. We recommend scheduling a tour and submitting your registration application 2 to 4 months in advance of your desired start date. We invite you to contact us directly or schedule a tour to check current classroom openings.
Our daily schedule creates a predictable rhythm that balances curiosity and comfort:
Our Lynnwood facility is strictly 100% peanut- and tree nut-free. We provide wholesome, USDA-compliant meals and snacks prepared fresh daily, prioritizing organic ingredients and whole foods. If your child has specific allergies, dietary restrictions, or food sensitivities, our director and teaching staff create a personalized meal plan to ensure their absolute safety and nutrition.
Monthly tuition at our Lynnwood location varies depending on your child's age program (Toddler, Preschool, or Pre-K) and your choice of schedule, typically ranging from $1,400 to $1,950 per month. All rates include daily organic meals, snacks, and classroom learning materials.
