Ambassadors of play
Ms. Aubrey and Ms. Nicole
Ms. Nicole and Ms. Aubrey grew up as childhood acquaintances. Our paths crossed again in 2010 where we found ourselves having coffee and conversation with the best group of friends. We got to know each other again, and learned of our mutual love for Early Childhood Education and the uncanny parallels between our journeys in life. Collectively we have taught for almost 20 years, the majority 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 and told enough children to not be children. We realized that going against the grain didn't build the firm foundation children actually thrived from. Through many trials and tribulations we opened Creative Spirit Learning Center in early 2016 and proudly embraced the title of Ambassadors of Play! Nicole and Aubrey have become the best of friends, and constantly thank our lucky stars that we still like each other. :D We, (together and separately) spend our free time with family and live for adventures.

Ms. Brianna
My name is Brianna. I have been teaching at Creative Spirit for nearly a year and am so thankful that our paths crossed! In addition to my Associate Teacher credentials, I have a Bachelors in Art and Design, with a concentration in photography. On occasion you can find me editing images for local photographers. I moved to Sacramento County and began my teaching career in January of 2017. I have worked with ages 3-12 and find something special among each age group. After spending the last couple years working with children, I truly feel that being able to guide the next generation is my calling. In my spare time you can find me connecting with friends over the uniqueness of personality traits and teaching DISC assessment or simply exploring the beautiful outdoors with my fiancé.
Ms. Krystal
My name is Krystal, and I am a wife and mother to two beautiful girls. I recently joined the Creative Spirit family. When my girls began attending preschool, I found that I enjoyed volunteering at the school and found satisfaction in working with the kids. As my kids have now moved onto Elementary school I have decided to go back to work and pursue a new career path in Early Childhood Education. I was fortunate to find Creative Spirit Learning Center as their beliefs are parallel to my own.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, coaching my daughters’ soccer team, gardening, and getting away on the occasional evening with my husband.
Ms. Amy
My name is Amy and I am a teacher's aid. I have a very curious nature, and I love learning about new things. As a young adult I found that going on the journey with children as they discover the world brings me so much joy. My favorite thing about working with children is seeing them ask "why?" and "how?" then guiding them to find answers on their own. Watching their confidence grow is truly amazing! I have 2 children and I cherish all of the special moments we share and the things they teach me. We enjoy crafting, baking, bicycle rides, kayaking, and watching movies together as a family.
Ms. Aruna
My name is Aruna. I spent four months as a student teacher at Creative Spirit and I'm excited to join as teacher aid for this wonderful team. I have an Engineering degree in Information technology from India and I'm currently working on pursuing my Associate degree in Early Childhood Education. I have been teaching Sunday preschool for the past 4 years and realized how much I enjoy teaching for this age group. It's fascinating to watch kids learn through play and they start to make 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 to 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.
