Creative Learning Place

Creative Learning Place is a unique learning center which offers classes in a variety of subjects with the purpose of opening hands, hearts and minds. CLP was founded by Karen Golden, a professional storyteller, published author, recording artist, arts educator, community activist and homeschool mom. After thirty years of teaching , organizing conferences, classes, festivals and events and hosting a daily talk show on public radio,  Karen decided to put her knowledge of connecting people and ideas together at the Creative Learning Place.. Each teacher is meticulously hand picked by Karen and the teachers are not only qualified to teach, they are also visionaries which bring education to the next step. 


All Creative Learning Place classes take place on the second floor of the Westside Jewish Community Center:

5870 West Olympic Blvd.

Los Angeles, CA 90036


Please note, there is no elevator. There is plenty of free parking in the lot located on the backside of the WJCC assessable by a service road from S. San Vicente (Between the WJCC and Olympia Medical center)


Food Please pack a snack for your child if they are in a class with a duration of one hour or more. There will be a snack break. All students attending either of our clubs after a morning class, can eat lunch in the classroom or outside at the picnic pavilion with parent supervision. If parents will not be joining us for the club meeting and wish to have their child eat lunch at the WJCC, please let me know so we can arrange for enough parents to supervise lunch. Thank you!


Special building note:

The WJCC is a large complex with a pre-school, two swimming pools, senior center, gymnasium, table tennis center, auditorium, and many other multi-purpose rooms. Please supervise your child at all times when they are not in a class. Also, the WJCC houses many offices. Please refrain from loud talking or running while on the WJCC campus.  Let’s set an example of great homeschool behavior. Thank you!


Drop policy:

If you enroll you child in a class and wish to drop it within the first two sessions, you will receive a refund for the remainder of the session minus the registration fee.
