Who Are We?
Creative World School® began nearly 40 years ago with the increasing importance of early childhood education in mind. Founders Billie and Duane McCabe started Creative World School® in Missouri in 1970 and their vision was quickly embraced. Creative World School® began franchising in 2000 to help further meet the demand for superior early childhood learning centers. Creative World School® continues as a family business, as daughters Jana, Kathy and Marianne further the Creative World tradition. Today, youngest daughter, Dr. Marianne Whitehouse, combines the experience of being raised in a Creative World School® environment with her doctorate in Early Childhood and Elementary Education in her position as President of Creative World School® Franchising.
