At Creative Learning Academy (CLA) our mission is to increase access to educational opportunities through our commitment to family and community participation. Based on the New York City Department of Education’s play-based creative curriculum, we facilitate developmental practices for children ages 2-4 years old. We also provide after-school care for 5-13-year-olds. We work in partnership with staff, parents, and the community to nurture the whole child and build on children’s strengths, backgrounds, and interests.
