ENROLL

Join us in the art studio with your young artist 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.

Invitation to create





Following the artist storytime and maker activity, children will get to enjoy Invitation to Create time. As creativity prompts each week's class will feature a specially themed Invitation to Create tray with unique maker materials for the children to explore and create with.


During Invitations to Create students are encouraged to broaden their creative thinking and investigative skills in a collaborative environment by exploring different mediums including creative reuse to making whatever sparks their imagination.
