History & Mission
About Creative Kids
Back in 1982, the Thirty-First District PTSA launched a game-changing school-age childcare program at just three elementary schools. The mission? Simple: provide a safe, supportive space for kids after school—right where they already are.
By partnering with LAUSD to lease classrooms on each child’s home campus, families loved the convenience: one drop-off, one pick-up, same school. No extra trips, no stress.
It was a hit then—and it’s only gotten better since.
Mission Statement
At Creative Kids, our mission is to provide safe, high-quality, and affordable childcare for families with children enrolled in LAUSD schools.
We’re more than just childcare — we strive to be a home away from home, where every child feels welcomed, supported, and inspired. Our programs are designed to spark curiosity and make learning fun, giving kids the chance to explore new interests in a creative, hands-on environment.
We also keep families connected by sharing valuable resources, including educational and social programs that extend beyond the classroom.
Most importantly, Creative Kids is for everyone — we proudly offer inclusive care for all children, including those with special needs.
