Creative Center for Young Children first opened its doors in August of 1990. It began with only 6 children and 3 teachers in one classroom. The purpose was to provide the downtown worker and their family quality child care. Ms. Bette Donovan founding Director with the help of the First United Methodist Church Committee created CCYC with its emphasis on the Fine Arts. Slowly the four classrooms were added as children started joining. Currently CCYC has a capacity of 75 children and 16 staff. Our purpose as an outreach of the First United Methodist Church is to create a positive learning environment with an emphasis on the fine arts. Our curriculum is developmentally appropriate and enhances each child’s growth physically, cognitively, socially and emotionally.
