Abstract
This study examined the impact of nursery attendance on later life creativity in Saudi Arabia. Numerous studies have been conducted on the effects of nursery, yet the specific influence of nursery attendance on creativity has rarely been explored. A sample of 119 individuals aged 18 to 40 years participated in the study. The Creative Behavior Inventory and Creative Attitude Survey were utilized to assess their creative behaviors and attitudes. The findings revealed a significant positive association between nursery attendance and creativity, indicating that individuals who attended nursery demonstrated higher scores of creativity compared to those who did not attend nursery. These findings have important implications for early childhood education, suggesting that nursery attendance may have a positive influence in fostering children's creativity. Future research should further investigate the underlying mechanisms and potential long-term effects of nursery attendance on creativity, considering contextual factors and individual differences.
