“Nothing without Joy!” Loris Malaguzzi

Join CCC’s Teachers for a summer of educational enrichment.

Our Reggio inspired “Creativity Camps” support learning in fun

and innovative ways. By interconnecting the arts and sciences,

students develop a thirst for knowledge while having a wonderful

time. Students may attend the entire summer school series, or select their favorite

weeks. No matter how you cut it, CCC is the perfect slice of summer fun!

Our Program

Founded in 1990, Creative Children’s Center has over 25 years experience in

elementary and preschool education. As the first constructivist school in Wash-

ington County, we understand that children learn best when they are fully en-

gaged in the learning process… the “Protagonists of their own learning”.

Our Approach

Each week our master teachers introduce BIG IDEAS as topics of investigation.

Our years of experience implementing the Reggio Approach has taught us that

inquiry supports knowledge, and that knowledge is built upon questions and re-

search. By balancing academics and open choice activities, students are self-

motivated and inspired by their love to learn. Our studios spaces support work

and play using a variety of mediums and materials. We offer a “100 languages”

with which to discover and learn. Each child gains confidence through individu-

al and group work. Students find their own special voice and identity while

learning to work with their peers.

Our Space

CCC’s facility is unique and very special. Once a little farm, the grounds and

buildings retain the open feeling of country living. Our 200 x 200 foot play-

ground supports outdoor play as students explore the gardens, dig in the sandbox,

kick balls across the grass, and play hide and seek in the forest. From scooters to

water play, summer days are super fun!

CCC Summer Program

Our Creative Curriculum

Writing, singing, acting, moving and inventing!

Sculpting, building, painting, drawing and design-

ing! Creative Children’s Center’s camps inspire

the imagination in us all. We bring together the

teachers, environment, materials and the tools

needed for children to

thrive. Each day stu-

dents are given

“launching points” for their investigations. Teachers

introduce “Big Ideas” at the daily meeting that in-

spire children to actively participate in their own

educational development. Inside or out, each day is

jam packed with summer fun.

The CCC Philosophy (Reggio Inspired)

CCC was founded as a constructivist ARTS inspired school in 1990 . Our

founder, Lucy Chaillé MFA, was inspired by the work of Dr. Christine Chaillé ,

an expert in Constructivist Education. Lucy’s first visit to the Reggio Emilia

Municipal Preschools was in the year 2000. She

fell in love with the city, the schools and the peo-

ple. Lucy has continued to attend a variety of

study tours in Reggio, and has hosted Reggio edu-

cators Amelia Gambetti and Lella Gandini at CCC.

Our wonderful teachers, Kate Boss, Vivian Lee,

Debra Lechleiters, and Allison Smith are Master

Level Teachers with many years of experience. As

professionals, we continue to grow and learn with

our students, parents and the community.

Creativity Camps and Studios Centers

Our summer indoor & outdoor classrooms are organized with gathering areas,

open play spaces and studios centers. Students may attend from 9-3:00 or select

a half day option with a pick up at 12:00. Extended care is available in the morn-

ing and afternoons.

Students begin their day by checking in with teacher for morning meeting and

group time. We start with music, movement and

stories. Big Ideas are launched and the fun begins!

Throughout the campus are special summer studio

areas that support the children's investigations and

creativity! Teachers and students use the studios

areas to bring their ideas to life! After lunch the

studios reopened for free exploration. Students can

continue their morning ideas or do something new!

Below is a list of our studios followed by our Creativity camp line up.

CCC Studios

Tinkering and Construction Studio

It’s tinkering time! To tinker is to design, to build, and create inventions using

materials found in the tinkering studio.

Performing Arts Studio

Story theatre, music and movement is integrated throughout the CCC curriculum.

Our performing arts studio supports children’s learning with puppets, costumes,

instruments and stage play.

Art Atelier

Paint, paper, chalks, charcoals, clay, fabric and wire are some of the materials

and mediums that children may use when they visit the art studio. Students may

freely explore the materials or use them to share big ideas.

Science Lab

CCC’s open science area encourages students to experiment and investigate the

world of science by building theories, testing hypotheses, researching and docu-

menting their observations.

Summer Splash I- (Life is a Beach) July 18 – July 22

backwards in time!

Super Science, Amazing Arts

July 4-July 8 (No camp 7/4)

CCC takes children’s inquiry to a new level by exploring three areas of science;

chemistry, biology, and physics by through the visual world of the arts. How does

clay change when fired? Does pendulum painting teach physics! Experiments ex-

plode as we pose questions, build hypotheses, and theorize the “how, what, and

why?”

Game Time

Playing a good game encourages critical thinking,

focus and fun! Sports activities build our large mo-

dice, cards and spinners, everyone will feel like a

winner!
