The owners of Creative Scholars Preschool, Mark and Della Allen, envisioned opening a variety of educationally based facilities in Chicago for families during the early developmental years of one’s life. Being the lucky parents of boy/girl twins, Mark and Della’s initial creation came in 2004. They opened up the first of its kind, Fantasy Kingdom, a "learning through play" facility in Chicago which gave families the flexibility to pop in and play during the week without having to sign up for scheduled classes.

Their next dream came true when Creative Scholars Preschool opened in April of 2009. The environment within is warm and nurturing. With a more structured focus on building the early academics necessary before entering elementary school, Mark and Della and their Director, Mary Ann Fogg created a preschool community for children and their families to be part of a life-long love for learning as well as life-long friendships. Creative Scholars Preschool is a safe, engaging, collaborative place for children to learn. With a focus on early literacy development, fine arts, and foreign language, Mary has developed an appropriate curriculum that enables her teachers to discover the unique gifts each child possesses.
