About Us
Rooted In Tradition, Inspired by Creativity
At Creative Beginnings Preschool Academy, we proudly embrace traditional teaching methods because they’ve stood the test of time. As educators who were once students shaped by structured classrooms and purposeful instruction, we believe in passing on these foundational skills to a new generation.
We teach traditional cursive writing, not only for its elegance but its proven benefits in developing fine motor skills, cognitive growth, and self-exploration. This hands-on practice complements our core curriculum and helps children connect meaningfully with written language.
By blending the classical strength of the Abeka Christian Curriculum with the playful exploration of Creative Curriculum, we provide a nurturing, balanced environment. Our students learn in a way that builds character, reinforces values, and sparks, creativity – making each day both purposeful and joyful.
Here at Creative Beginnings, we believe the best education comes from honoring the past, while preparing our children for the future.
