Join us for a tour of UCF’s Creative School for Children, where they have created a safe, secure, and nurturing environment designed for children to discover, explore, and develop to their unique potential. Visitors will see firsthand their beautiful outdoor learning environment, which serves as an integral part of their educational program, and learn about their exciting upcoming renovation plans that will make these spaces even more engaging for young learners. As a university-affiliated center, they combine the best of early childhood education with ongoing research and innovation, while maintaining strong partnerships with families through open communication and community connections. We are grateful to our longtime member Suzette for graciously opening up her center to share what makes Creative School for Children a special place where children can thrive!
