Meet the teacher mom behind the business.

Hey, there! I'm Kylie - the teacher mom behind Creative Connection and former local teacher. Six years into my elementary teaching career, I had a baby of my own - our first son, Braylen. I taught for another two years and decided it was time for a change.

I switched my focus to creating fun and educational activities for my own son – planning crafts, learning activities, and seasonal sensory play. I became eager to be in the classroom setting again, but craved the ability to focus on creativity and have more flexibility than the public school setting would allow. I knew that I could make this dream a reality by opening my own art studio for kids, and Creative Connection was born.

My Journey

  • Teacher

    I spent 8 years in the elementary classroom from 2014 to 2022, loving every minute of it! Making learning fun for kids is my passion. The best part of teaching hands down were the connections I made with kids and families.

  • Mama

    My son was born in 2020, and it was then that I knew I wanted to focus more time on him than teaching allowed. I left teaching in 2022 and began brainstorming how I could support my family while doing the what I loved.

  • Business Owner

    In 2023, I started Creative Connection with a line of sensory bins and promoting creative play. The sensory bins were a starting point, which eventually grew to become a local art studio for kids in 2024.
