From our humbled beginnings, Creative started as an in-home daycare at Mrs. Linda Bidle's house located in Myersville, Maryland in 1993. Soon Linda realized how much of a need there was in the Myersville Community for child care. Linda took a risk in starting the business and moved immediately into Mount Zion Methodist Church, where we have been serving our community, for the last 25 years.

Creative's History
What people say
I thought I would take some time to write a review for the Creative Children’s Center after four months since my 2yr old daughter started receiving daycare services from there. Being a higher education faculty myself, you can imagine I was in search of an institution that not only meets the developmental and social needs of my daughter, but also take seriously, the beginnings of a lifelong academic engagement. CCC is not only accredited, but seems to have satisfied all my needs. My daughter has not only begun building a strong vocabulary, but is now able to sing, paint and scribble. Her social skills have greatly improved and she wakes up every morning, utters her teacher’s name, and eagerly anticipates a day at CCC. Brett, the president of CCC, does not only have an MBA, but re-evaluates all aspects of the center on a daily basis, garnering new ideas and ways to improve the center into a world class institution. He takes communication with parents seriously and gives daily briefings in emails and other channels. Accounting is clear and spotless. The place is always thoroughly clean, home-like and the atmosphere is conducive for both the children and their parents who show up daily to drop or pick up their children. I highly recommend CCC for any parent who has a dream for their child.
