About our Facilities
Creative Kidz Preschool & Daycare was established in 2011 in Newberg, Oregon, by Christina Cornett, a Newberg native, and Adam Wilson, the previous owner. Recognizing the community's growing need for quality childcare, they founded Creative Kidz to provide essential early childhood education and care leading us to be the oldest Childcare Facility in Newberg.
With a passion for teaching and a commitment to inspiring young minds, Christina has served as a lead teacher in all classrooms over the years. If you see her around, be sure to say hello!

Our Philosophy
At Creative Kidz, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety, security, cleanliness, teaching, and loving care.
We believe that children learn best through play. Dramatic play is a vital part of hands-on learning, fostering self-expression, creativity, and problem-solving skills. To provide the best early education experience, we embrace a variety of teaching styles that cater to different learning needs and backgrounds. Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of our philosophy, helping us create a warm, welcoming environment where every child feels valued.
Our approach includes both structured and unstructured activities, encouraging child-led exploration in the classroom. We believe that allowing children to take the lead in their learning helps nurture their natural curiosity and promotes meaningful discoveries.
At Creative Kidz, our goal is to equip children with the confidence and skills they need to thrive in their next learning environment.
