A nurturing and inspring introduction to art materials for children and caregivers alike! Little ones explore paints, glue, collage, sculpture, building, and craft doughs to their heart’s content, while adults are encouraged to take an observant but gently “hands-off” approach to artwork, allowing children to create in their own style. Each 1-hour class includes, creative play, a hello song, easel painting, weekly project, and a goodbye song. Simple routines are introduced as children are ready. We emphasis process over product, and getting messy is a big part of the fun, so please dress accordingly!

Separation

Ages 2 - 3.5 yrs, with adult to start, 2 hours $300/8 weeks, $225 6weeks, $150/4 weeks

Monday 10:00 Wednesday 10:00 Friday 10:00

A loving and supportive art class for children (and parents!) that helps to develop independence, self- esteem, self-expression, and socialization with other children and adults. Routines and activities are similar to Art Together, but expanded to 2 hours to include snack (provided by family) and story time. As children feel comfortable, parents are encouraged to leave the classroom, with the expectation that they will be able to leave for the entire time by the session’s end. Because every child and parent separates in their own way and time, each classroom experience is individualized to meet children’s specific needs. Children may enroll in more than one Separation class per session.
