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.
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 and I'm currently working on completing my Associate degree in Early Childhood Education. I have been with Creative Spirit for over 2 years now and cannot say enough about how much I enjoy teaching with this age group. It's fascinating to watch kids 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 kid in the classroom and to have a positive impact in their lives.
During my free time, I like to read a good fiction book, grab a cup of coffee with my friends or spend time with my family.
Hello, My name is Tivona, I am a mother to three amazing humans. Jacob is 14, Chase is 12 and Emily is 8. I have been working with children since I was 18. I spent most of my years with infants and toddlers and then later with preschoolers at two different locations. I was blessed to have the chance to stay home when my daughter was young, now that they are older, I am back and ready to create fun and exciting memories for your little ones.
I started my career in Early Childhood education 20+ years ago . I’ve worked in nearly every setting - from public to private,rigid curriculum to play based. As an educator, I had the pleasure to learn & experience Roseville Community Preschool while Bev Bos was still alive and teaching. I always admired her teaching philosophy and tried to tweak any classroom I was in, toward the things I learned from her. This space allows for me to honor my passion for all things play. When I’m not playing with your children, I’m playing and homeschooling my own. I love gardening and fall is my favorite season - it has the best holidays and I love all things apple! ❤
My name is Isabella, my students and family call me Bella. I have lived in the Sacramento area my whole life and moved to Fair Oaks about 5 years ago. I have worked with preschool age children since I was about 12 years old when I taught dance. I am currently furthering my education at Sacramento State. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my fiancé, traveling, and dancing.
Hello, my name is Laura, I was born and raised in beautiful Fair Oaks. I am married to my best friend and have 2 amazing boys. Benton is 7 years old, and Austin is 18 months old. Benton attended Creative Spirit, and I can't wait for Austin to attend as well. I have worked with children of all ages, but I really love the preschool age. In my free time, I like to spend time with friends and family, travel, go out to sushi, and do projects around our house. I look forward to meeting everyone, and I'm very excited to watch the children grow. I am so happy to be part of the CSLC team!
My name is Margarita but most people know me as Maggie. I moved from Manteca to Sacramento in 2014 to complete my degree in Early Childhood Development at Sacramento State University and I now consider Sacramento my home. I have always had a passion for learning about the human experience (development, relationships, self) and noticing the different ways little ones make sense of the world around them. I value making genuine connections and learning from those around me. I am very excited to join Creative Spirit and hope to grow and learn more about myself and others while having fun. In my free time, I like listening to music, going on camping road trips with my husband or staying home with our animals.
My name is Jenna. I am originally from South Africa and I came to America as an au pair in 2019.

In my free time I love hanging out with friends and family, hosting games nights and just hanging at home with my husband and family.
