About the Provider
Creative Children’s Korner (CCK) is one of the first established nursery schools in Ridgefield, Connecticut. It has been serving families from South Salem, Redding and Ridgefield for over 46 years. Founded by Ethelyn Pinchbeck in 1967, it is a nursery school commited to help our children seek a foundation for a happy and successful life.
Our goal at CCK is to build a child’s self confidence and increase his or her awareness of the world. It is our belief that with self confidence and awarness a child is better equiped to accept the challenges which he or she will meet on a daily basis, thus promoting a healthy attitude toward new experiences and fostering a life-long love of learning.
At CCK we believe a “hands-on” approach of learning best achieves these goals. We have developed a curriculum of well planned activities that meets the child at his or her level of interest and ability. Our caring and attentive teachers provide opportunities for each child to discover at his or her own pace. We encourage our children to be inquisitive and to want to learn the “why” and “how” as well as the "what".
CCK has moved to a new location at 103 Main Street in Ridgefield and occupies the classrooms of the First Congregational Church.
