Child Creativity Lab is a STEAM education non-profit in Santa Ana, CA, serving thousands of students every year with hands-on, creativity-enhancing programs. Our mission is to foster the next generation of critical thinkers, problem solvers, innovators, and leaders through hands-on creativity-enhancing exploration.

We cultivate creativity by providing students with the experiences they need to look at the world in new ways. We engage children grades TK-8 with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs. Our approach to teaching uses the Design Thinking process and “STEAM” — the "A" (art) adds the ability for students to look at a situation from new and creative angles and inspires innovation.

We are looking for enthusiastic and passionate teachers to join our team. At Child Creativity Lab, our teachers are our mission in action. You will help a child discover all they can accomplish within themselves. The sky is the limit for the children we serve!
