Who we are

About Kreative Bears Preschool®

Kreative Bears Preschool® is a nurturing, play-based early learning center located in York, Pennsylvania. We provide a warm, engaging, and culturally responsive environment where children are encouraged to explore, create, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love of learning.

Our approach supports the whole child; socially, emotionally, academically, and physically; through meaningful play, hands-on exploration, positive relationships, and developmentally appropriate learning experiences.

We believe families are an essential part of a child’s learning journey. By building strong partnerships between home and school, we create a community where every little bear can feel safe, supported, valued, and ready to grow.

Our Leadership

Kreative Bears Preschool® was founded by an experienced educational leader with more than a decade of experience supporting children, families, and educators. With professional credentials and expertise spanning school leadership, special education, autism support, behavior analysis, and child development, Kreative Bears was intentionally designed with the whole child in mind.

Our founder is a licensed K–6 Special Education educator, licensed in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), credentialed school principal, and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).

This multidisciplinary background shapes our approach to early learning; from thoughtfully designed environments and developmentally appropriate instruction to positive behavior support, social-emotional development, inclusion, and strong partnerships with families.

At Kreative Bears, we recognize that every child develops differently. Our goal is to create an environment where children are known as individuals, supported in their growth, and given meaningful opportunities to explore, build confidence, develop independence, and thrive.
