Elementary Schools
Creekside is served by both Regina Public Schools and Regina Catholic Schools divisions, so you've got options depending on your family's preferences. For public schools, you'll want to check which elementary feeds into your area—your specific street address will determine your catchment. I always tell parents to call the school directly or check the division's website to confirm, because catchment boundaries can be confusing and they do shift occasionally.
Catholic schools are also an option if that's important to your family. East Regina's got Catholic elementary schools within reasonable distance. You'll need to verify the exact catchment with the division.
Here's what I've heard from families living in Creekside: the schools are reasonably well-resourced, and because the neighbourhood's still growing, the schools aren't overflowing with kids. That can be a plus—smaller class sizes, less chaos at pickup time. My advice? Visit the schools if you can. Talk to current parents. Check the school division's accountability reports online—they're public.
High Schools
Most of Creekside feeds into Regina's east-side high schools through the public system. It depends on your exact address, but you won't be driving your teenager across the city to get to school. For Catholic families, there are Catholic high schools accessible from Creekside as well.
It's worth asking about bussing options when you're narrowing down which home to buy—some families care less about the school building and more about whether their kid can get there without needing a ride every morning. I'll give you all the options if you want to dig into this deeper.
Childcare and Early Learning
I'm going to be straight with you: childcare in east Regina is a mix of home daycares and larger childcare centres. Creekside itself has some options, and you're close enough to the broader east Regina area that you've got flexibility.
Home daycares tend to fill up fast and might require you to get on a waitlist early. Larger centres in the Eastgate area and surrounding east Regina have more openings usually, but you'll want to visit them and see if the vibe matches your family. Before you fall in love with a house in Creekside, I'd honestly recommend scoping out a few childcare options in the area first.
Family-Friendly Features
The Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre is close by, which means swimming lessons, skating, and activities aren't complicated. McKell Wascana Conservation Area has trails where you can walk with a stroller or ride bikes. Eastgate Drive has most of what you need—grocery stores, shops, restaurants—so you're not making a million separate trips.
The neighbourhood's still growing, which means new playgrounds and amenities are being added. If you want the full picture of daily life here, I've written a complete guide to living in Creekside. And if you're wondering how Creekside compares to the upscale The Creeks neighbourhood nearby—they're very different communities despite the similar names.
What Parents Should Know
Creekside's newer, which is good for most things—fewer surprises with foundations and old pipes. But some areas still feel like they're under construction. If you love quiet mature trees and an established feel, you might find that frustrating for a few more years.
Schools are solid, but they're not magically different from schools anywhere else in Regina. Your kid's experience depends way more on the teachers they get and how much time you spend supporting them at home.
Looking for homes in Creekside? Or want to compare across the whole east Regina market? No rush, no pressure—I'll give you all the options.
