Founded in 1990, Creative Children’s Center offers classes for children ages two through third grade with both half day and full day options available. We provide early morning care beginning at 7:30 and after school care (creativity club) running until 5:30, for our working families. In the summer months our Creativity Summer School expands to grade six and welcomes teen counselors. Our program is located on the border of two Oregon communities, Hillsboro and Beaverton.
CCC embraces constructivist education while incorporating the Reggio Approach to projects and learning. Constructivism is not a “method” of teaching, but rather a theory regarding how we all learn. Constructivist educators put the emphasis on the process, and instead of how “best to teach”, we strive for “how best to learn”.
As an arts and science school we encourage children to approach learning with enthusiasm and joy. Children’s minds naturally construct knowledge by engaging in the process, searching for meaning, synthesizing information, interpreting ideas, adapting their theories, and sharing what they think. This process allows us to construct understanding; growing our minds, hearts and souls.
