About Us
Quality Daycare in Williamsburg
OUR STORY
Creative Critters learning Centers began 15 years ago in West Point, Virginia. Our founder, Kathy Gray, was a teacher in Williamsburg, VA. She holds a master’s degree in Education and was working on her Ph.D. at the College of W&M when she became pregnant with her third little girl. Curt, her husband, is a U.S. Navy Veteran who left the Navy and became a PE teacher in New Kent.
They decided to open a learning center for their third little girl because they could not find a quality, affordable learning center in the area. They took a lease at that location for four years in hopes they would be able to prepare their daughter for kindergarten. Well, what started out as a means to fill a family need has changed in so many ways for the Grays. They now own and operate five daycare locations in Greater Williamsburg that offer all children the same opportunity they wanted to provide for their own daughter!
Kathy and Curt are actively involved in the everyday operations of the daycare centers. You will often see Kathy in the classrooms working with staff on best practices or Mr. Curt working with the school-age children or delivering food. Their WHY is to touch the lives of not only the children and families they serve every day but to change the lives of the staff who work at their child care centers.
We are committed to providing a quality, fun-filled learning environment that is structured and systematic, as well as to providing a work environment conducive to personal and educational growth for their staff. At the end of the day, they are committed to teaching both children and staff the love of learning!
