DISD is being required to re-evaluate the funding ratio of public schools to alternative learning centers, stirring up the fire in an ongoing, ever interesting debate about who is responsible for paying for the education of our children. Now more than ever Creative Tutors and it's sister non-profit Creative Learning 4 Kids plays a vital role in filling in the gap between the government Title I programs and the children who so desperately need help.
In 1999, Jan Van Blarcum, Ph.D. founded Creative Tutors. As an educator, Dr. Van Blarcum understood the importance of personalized attention in a child's educational growth. Her passion for learning grew into a business endeavor that provides customized, one-on-one, in-home tutoring to children with a variety of learning needs. Every child receives personalized attention from certified/degreed educators. Jan has acquired invaluable experience through living abroad, teaching in many educational environments and has acquired business development experience. These unique experiences, coupled with her fervent desire to provide all children with the tools needed to achieve their potential in today's educational environment, led her to establish Creative Tutors and their sister organization Creative Learning 4 Kids, Inc. a 501(c)(3) company.
