Toddler Play Time (Friday)

Ages 1 - 5 Years --- Toddler Play Time is open play. Children rotate at stations as they like. Typical stations include: baby washing station, foam wall, canvas paint wall, play dough, weekly science station, tinkering art table, and more! Caregivers must be present. Dress for a mess!

Pop Art! (Thursday)

Ages 6 - 10 Years --- Pop Art is a process art class for kids ages 6-10. We will construct, create and explore with different art materials like water colors, clay, paper mache, mosaics and more! Process art is all about the making and creating and not about the end result-although the end result is an absolute unique one of a kind masterpiece!

Preschool (Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs)

Ages 3 - 5 Years --- Preschool is a highly play-based program with a strong focus on art and sensory play. Taught by a credentialed teacher with a goal to cultivate your child’s inquisitive nature through engaging opportunities.
