Play is the work of childhood. -Piaget
We believe that allowing children to lead their own experiences promotes life long confidence and a deep love for learning. Learning through play is a term used in education to describe how a child learns to make sense of the world around them. Through play, children can develop social and cognitive skills, mature emotionally, and gain the self-confidence required to engage in new experiences (like reading, writing, math, and science). They will bravely enter into new environments like elementary school or clubs and sports. There are a wealth of psychologists and theorists including Piaget, Bruner, Vygotsky, Isaacs, Froebel and McMillan who have all documented a variety of research supporting the effectiveness of play based learning. We strive to create a diverse environment, where each child feels important and recognized.
We continue to hold a space where everyone feels equally important and valued, especially the children. In our community-rich program, children learn through self-directed play which naturally strengthens their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.
We foster growth of the whole child, by allowing childhood to happen. This space is messy and creative and children feel at home here. We will pour love into your children as if they were our own. Each of them is so unique and important and we promise to never loose sight of that.
We provide both an inside and outside play-based mixed-age preschool classroom for children ages 2 years of age through entry into first grade. Our classroom offerings are guided by the seasons and from that children can express themselves by engaging in messy/ self directed art, animals, construction, music, pretend, nature, science, language, math and an abundant amount of sensory activities.
Both of our owners grew up in Folsom as childhood acquaintances. Paths crossed again in 2010 when both teachers accepted positions at the same program. We discovered our mutual love for Early Childhood Education and the uncanny parallels between our journeys in life. We quickly became business partners and then the best of friends. Collectively we have taught for over 30 years, the start of our careers at centers whose philosophies differed from our own core beliefs. These previous programs had expectations that encompassed adult agendas disguised as the child's best interest. We both finally got to a point where we had copied enough dittos (worksheets) and told enough children to be still and quiet. Going against the grain didn't build the firm foundation we knew children actually thrived from. Through many trials and tribulations we opened Creative Spirit Learning Center in 2016 and proudly embraced the title of Ambassadors of Play! Both Nicole and Aubrey are residents of Orangevale, have children who attend local schools and live for adventures like camping, live music and Harley rides with our husbands through the country side.
My name is Aruna. I spent four months as a student teacher at Creative Spirit and I was excited to join as a teacher shortly after. I have an Engineering degree in Information technology from India as well as an Associate degree in Early Childhood Education. I have been with Creative Spirit for over 3 years now and cannot say enough about how much I enjoy teaching with this program. It's fascinating to watch children learn through play and start making connections. I'm a firm believer of learning through play and I'm so happy I found a school that gives importance to play. I'm looking forward to building a positive relationship with each and every family in our program and to have a positive impact in their children's lives.
During my free time, I like to read a good fiction book, grab a cup of coffee with my friends enjoy a good Kings game and spend time with my family.
