Quality childcare and early education for all ages.

Quality childcare and early education for all ages.
Creative Family Care is led by a licensed elementary teacher at Step 10 on the Oregon Registry, holding a Bachelor of Science in Human Development from Warner Pacific College. Our dedicated team is committed to nurturing children, supporting families, and continuously improving program quality. We are proud members of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the National Association for Family Child Care.
We provide high-quality, inclusive early childhood education for children ages 6 months to 5 years in a safe, nurturing, home-based environment. Our play-based, child-centered program uses Teaching Strategies’ Creative Curriculum to support whole-child development through hands-on learning, exploration, and meaningful play.
Creative Family Care proudly serves children of all abilities and partners closely with families to ensure individualized support and equitable access to early learning. Nutritious meals and snacks are provided daily, and low staff-to-child ratios ensure personalized, responsive care.
Located in a cozy single-family home in Southeast Portland (97216), our program offers a warm, welcoming space where children feel secure, valued, and ready to grow.
At our preschool, we use Creative Curriculum for Preschool.
