Join us in the art studio or our outdoor classroom as we explore STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) concepts through creative maker projects and storytelling. With our inquiry-driven activities children will discover more about the world around them, creating meaningful learning experiences that build on their natural curiosity while learning literacy, problem solving skills and collaboration techniques. Through imaginative play and art we will foster a love of learning while developing cognitive, physical and social-emotional skills.



MINI MAKERS PLAYGROUP





Bring your mini makers for a fun morning of creative exploration with STEAM inspired stories, Invitation to Create art projects and sensory play.
