The Oregon Center for Creative Learning (OCCL) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit committed to helping all children learn and grow through creative play by empowering them and their families. Through operation of the Children’s Museum of Southern Oregon and seven Ivy School preschool campuses across the region, OCCL provides vital early learning opportunities. Recognizing that 90% of cognitive development occurs in the first six years of life, OCCL focuses on this critical period to shape a brighter future for our community. With a mission to address child care shortages in Southern Oregon, OCCL is dedicated to increasing access to early childhood education for all families.
