A Carey education goes beyond the building of strong academic skills. As the fifth grade students remind me when I ask them what they value about The Carey School, they say it is a school where kindness, community, trust, respect, joy, and safety permeate their daily interactions with each other and the faculty.

Pre-K through 5th Grade Education Programs:

Pre-Kindergarten through to Kindergarten:
Developmental education anchors Carey’s youngest students. In these early, formative years, students participate in a play-based, child centered environment that focuses on the whole person. We encourage students to share, listen, participate, contribute, and enjoy themselves while being exposed to all of the elements of learning readiness and, as appropriate, to introductory academics.

1st through to 5th Grade:
We introduce more formal academics during the elementary school years, laying foundations in reading, language arts, math, social studies, history, and study skills. We balance this challenging, basic education with enrichment programs in Spanish, French, science, art, music, physical education, and library skills for all students, and offer accelerated studies as appropriate.

- Pre-K through to 5th Grade Curriculum includes:
Math; Reading; Writing; Social Studies; Art; Foreign Lanuages; Library Studies; Music; P. E.; Science; Technology; Daycare & After School Enrichment.

Creation Station Huntington Beach

Courses / Programs

Based in Fountain Valley, Orange County, CA, Creation Station Huntington Beach offers a wildly creative dance school concept for kids and teens which provides movement-based dance programs starting at age 18 months. Our creative teaching techniques combined with a carefully structured syllabus is what makes Creation Station the most popular dance and enrichment program for toddlers and young children on both coasts.

The non-competitive atmosphere, the use of hundreds of props and costumes, along with the small class size allows children to tap into their imagination in a way vastly different from most other dance schools. Creation Station students don't really realize they are learning traditional technique while in class. Due to the way the syllabus is set up, most children and their parents just think it is all fun and games.

Along with learning basic terminology and specific movements geared toward a specific discipline, we take a developmental approach to teaching. We have realistic and age appropriate expectations for the children.

Dance Classes for Kids & Teens: These classes help your child develop their creative abilities in movement.
