Over 35 years of research
The Science
of Art.
“A truly engaging experience.” Art isn’t just FUN – it’s actually great for your brain! Creative Play LA delivers Creative Workshops For Teachers.
Not only do hands-on sensory activities stimulate creativity, they actually help the brain expand it’s neural capacity by challenging it with new problems to solve, and choices to explore.
We’ve learned over years of research that through carefully constructed CreativePlay participants of all ages can expand their cognitive abilities, build emotional intelligence, and improve their overall mental well-being.

Anna added great value to our Head Start Conference this year, delivering 3 great training sessions. We found her via the California Head Start Association, where she came highly recommended. All her workshop reviews were outstanding. She was easy to work with and a lot of fun. We look forward to having her back

I loved this training! It was engaging, and a different perspective. We get so much information and tasks pushed on us. It was great to have the perspective of stress relief. It kept me up and wanting to learn more.

We recently booked "Stem to Steam" and "Renew Your Passion" for our Staff Development Day for 85 teachers. Both of the workshops exceeded my expectations!. The feedback from the staff has been great. Renew Your Passion was my personal favorite. I hope to work with Anna again.

She is one of our best facilitators and teachers our Family to Family course, a 10 week support class for families who have a member with a serious mental illness. Anna is a pleasure to work with and has positively impacted so many families.

During these times of uncertainty and stress, Anna's workshops were a breath of fresh air. Staff enjoyed the experience of taking time for themselves and reflecting on how to incorporate self-care into their daily lives, and re-discover their "why" behind their jobs.
