Creative World Environment

  • Does Creative World integrate technology into classrooms?

    Our teachers use tablets primarily as a resource for curriculum planning and communication with parents, which supports an exemplary learning environment for children and fosters strong partnerships with parents. At Creative World, we prioritize hands-on exploration of technology, from constructing simple machines to engaging in STEAM activities that encourage curiosity and innovation. Rather than relying on screens, we emphasize real-world problem-solving, creativity, and interactive learning experiences that support healthy development.

    For comfort, children may bring a small security item (such as a stuffed animal or blanket) during the transition period. Teachers may also request specific items related to classroom learning themes.

  • Why don’t Creative World teachers have desks in their classrooms?

    Our teachers take a hands-on approach to learning, actively engaging with children throughout the day rather than working from a desk.

Guidance & Behavior Management

  • What is Creative World's guidance policy?

    Our approach to discipline focuses on positive guidance, redirection, and setting clear limits. We believe that when children receive positive, non-violent, and supportive interactions from adults and peers, they develop healthy self-concepts, strong problem-solving abilities, and self-discipline. Based on this philosophy, we do not allow any form of corporal punishment, verbal abuse, or disciplinary actions that involve withholding food, rest, or toileting.
