Our Story

Family Owned Since 2003

Creative Beginnings has been family owned and operated since January 1, 2003 by Dedric and Elissa Woodle.

Believing in the immense potential each child carries, our day care services in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina are devoted to nurturing this potential to its fullest. Cultivating a mindset of success early in life forms the cornerstone of future accomplishments.

Our Philosophy

Every Child Is a Precious Gift

We believe every child is a precious gift, and every child is an individual. We feel it is a blessing from God to be given the patience and abilities to care for children, and to be a positive influence in their lives. We feel that the very first years of education are critical and memorable times for young children.

A Safe and Welcoming Environment

Our mission at Creative Beginnings CDC is to provide a safe, nurturing, and welcoming environment where your child's individual needs are our #1 priority. We hope to instill family values, good morals, character, and confidence in your child, and a sense of belonging at our center.

Where Children Feel Safe, They Learn

An environment where children feel safe and loved is an environment where they can learn. We will provide them with the most excellent care possible and do our best to make their first step to education a positive one.
