At Creations Childcare, we believe that every child deserves a nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive. Founded with a passion for Jesus and early childhood education, our center provides a safe, stimulating, and loving space where children develop essential skills while building confidence and creativity.
Our philosophy is centered around the belief that children learn best through play and exploration. We offer a balanced approach that combines structured learning activities with plenty of time for creative play, ensuring that each child develops at their own pace while building a strong foundation for future academic success.
Located in Grove, Oklahoma, our facility is designed specifically with children in mind, featuring bright, open spaces, age-appropriate learning centers, and a secure outdoor play area where children can explore and develop their gross motor skills.
At Creations Childcare, our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and Christ-centered environment where every child is known, loved, and encouraged to grow—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We are committed to meeting children where they are, supporting their individual needs, and partnering with families to lay the foundation for lifelong learning, faith, and confidence.
We provide a developmentally appropriate curriculum that encourages exploration, critical thinking, and a love of Christ while preparing children for future academic success.
We foster a sense of belonging and community among children, families, and staff, creating a supportive network that extends beyond our center walls.
We provide nurturing care that addresses each child's physical, emotional, spiritual and social needs, ensuring they feel safe, valued, and supported throughout their day.
Owners
Kaylee and Jacob Wallace, along with their children Emma, Preston, and Nolan, proudly call Grove, Oklahoma home. In December 2022, the Wallace family founded Creations Childcare with a vision to create a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where children can grow physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
They officially opened their doors in April 2023 and have been faithfully serving families in the community ever since. With deep roots in Grove and a strong commitment to ministry, the Wallaces are actively involved at Mountain Movers Church, where they serve each week in the Momentum Kids Ministry. They also volunteer with Royal Family Kids Camp, pouring their time and energy into community outreach and fundraising to support children in need.
When they're not at the daycare or serving in their church and community, Kaylee and Jacob can be found cheering on their kids at dance, wrestling, basketball, and soccer. Their passion for family, faith, and early childhood development is the heart behind Creations Childcare—a place where every child is welcomed, loved, and encouraged to thrive.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our family. We look forward to welcoming yours into the Creations Childcare family.
