Julie Clark and Linda Goodman opened the Creative Arts Studio in Woodbury, Connecticut in 1987 as a haven where children could experience and appreciate the arts.
Since that time, the school has expanded and now hosts a number of Reggio inspired programs including preschool, kindergarten and daycare.
Creative Arts Studio is an accredited daycare (day care), preschool, and childcare (child care) center committed to providing all children with an emotional and physical environment which fosters independence and creativity.
We believe that children are best motivated by art, music, laughter, spontaneity and curiosity, and flourish in an environment where they are free to explore the many wonders and opportunities that surround them.
Creative Arts Studio is committed to providing the CAST community (children, staff and families) with an emotional and physical environment that fosters independence and creativity and celebrates each person's unique attributes.

I am interested in music position as a teacher or aide. I am presently teaching music in a public school in NC but will be moving back to connecticut in june. I realize it is too early to consider me for employment, but I would like to send my resume after the holidays. I am presently in my 47th year of teaching music to all grades and would like to continue teaching in CT. I have a CT teaching license along with three degrees. Thank you for your time,
Margaret Nemec
