Here at 1st Creative Learning Academy #3 in Lilburn, GA, we pride ourselves on offering top-notch educational programs for children of all ages. And since we partner with a team of experienced early childhood education professionals, we’ve managed to create programs that focus on enriching activities that help children build a strong educational foundation.
Creative Curriculum Approach
One of the core components of our program is our use of Creative Curriculum. This curriculum is designed to stimulate emerging skills in a developmentally appropriate way. Our teachers use regular observation and assessment to ensure that each child grows and develops at their own pace. From story time to center time, math and language skills are seamlessly integrated into our children’s daily activities.

We offer a variety of programs for children of all ages, including:
- Infants (6 weeks to 12 months)
- Toddlers (12-24 months)
- Two-year-olds (24-36 months)
- Preschool (36-60 months)
- Pre-K (4-5 years)
- School-aged children (6-12 years old)
- Summer camps
In addition, our programs are designed to meet the needs of children at each stage of development, providing a supportive and nurturing environment for all ages.
Our Programs
Infants
(6 weeks to 12 months)
Our infant program is tailored to meet the individual needs of each infant. With small class sizes and individualized attention, our infants receive the best possible care to nurture their growth and development. Each infant has their own feeding and sleeping plan that is tailored to suit their needs. Infants are provided with ample tummy time to explore and learn through their senses. Caregivers interact frequently with each child, giving them opportunities to develop receptive and expressive language skills as well as social/emotional skills.
Toddlers
(12-24 months)
Our toddler program is designed for the active and emerging young child who is learning to walk and move about. The classroom has plenty of space for little ones to explore and learn. Caregivers sing songs and read simple stories with plenty of movement. Toddlers learn by exploring through their senses and through play. With small class sizes and individual attention, children have many opportunities to learn and grow at their own pace.
Twos
(24-36 months)
Our two-year-old classroom is designed for the active two-year-old. Learning centers are introduced and children have many opportunities to learn through play. Age-appropriate blocks, dramatic play, puzzles, and sensory experiences are enjoyed daily. Caregivers work with children in circle time on learning colors, shapes, letters, numbers, counting, and more. Through the Creative Curriculum, children learn songs, fingerplays, and hear stories that are connected to a central weekly learning theme. Potty training is also introduced when children are developmentally ready.
Preschool
(36-60 months)
Our preschool classroom is designed to prepare preschoolers for Pre-K and Kindergarten. Children in the preschool class learn through play and exploration. The daily schedule consists of a balance of child-directed and teacher-led activities to help children learn and develop. Preschool teachers spend time in group activities teaching colors, shapes, letters, numbers, and other important concepts. Children learn fingerplays, songs, and hear stories that are connected to a central weekly learning theme. Children are introduced to a new letter and number each week and learn new vocabulary words related to each letter.
Georgia Pre-K
(4-5 years)
Our center also offers Georgia Pre-K classes! Children who are four years old on or before September 1st of each school year may attend our lottery-funded Georgia Pre-K program. The program runs from August to May each year and follows Gwinnett County Public Schools’ schedule. Class hours are 8:00-2:30 or 8:30-3:00 depending on the location and class. Each class is taught by a certified teacher and a credentialed assistant. Children in this classroom learn the necessary skills that will prepare them for Kindergarten. Before and/or after-school care is available for our Pre-K students.
School-Aged Children
(6-12 years)
1st Creative Learning Academy offers a program to fit the needs of working parents and children who require before and after-school care. Students participating in this program will be taken to and/or picked up from local schools. Our after-school age program is designed with the needs of the older child in mind. We offer opportunities for active and quiet play, arts and crafts, games, outdoor recreation, and special projects. Additionally, a quiet area will be provided for children who need to work on homework or prefer quiet reading. Snacks will be provided for all students upon arrival from school.
Summer Camps
During the summer months, we offer fun and engaging full-day summer camps for children of all ages. Our summer camps include a mix of educational activities, outdoor play, field trips, and special events. We strive to provide a safe and exciting environment for children to learn, explore, and make memories during the summer months.
Developmentally Appropriate Activities
We believe that language and math skills are crucial for setting the stage for learning and problem-solving. That’s why we start stimulating these areas from a young age, beginning with our youngest learners. Our developmentally appropriate activities help children develop the skills they need to succeed in school and beyond.
Structured Daily Schedule
Children thrive on routine and structure. That’s why our daily schedules include blocks of time for large group participation, small group interaction, independent learning in learning centers, and outdoor exploration and play. Each classroom also has scheduled mealtimes, snack times, and rest times. Our daily schedules are posted in each classroom for parents and children to reference.
