Creative Playtime
(Exploratory Learning)
Ages: 18months-5 years
Creative Playtime offers children, ages 18 months to 5 years to explore their creative side with music, dance, art and preschool concepts centered around a special theme for the week.
Every Creative Playtime session starts with time in the studio, allowing each child to follow their interests and lead in their own artistic discovery. These classes are open ended and process oriented. Our classes will feature a letter, artist and number of the week. We will sing songs, dance and move our bodies as we explore the Arts and develop daily routines. Remember to dress for a mess, not to impress, because when creative juices are flowing, the paint usually flies!
Creative Playtime starts July 5th!
CREATIVE PLAYTIME WILL BE DIVIDED UP INTO TWO GROUPS:
GROUP A (18 MONTHS TO 3 YEARS) - Monday / Wednesdays
GROUP B (3.5 YEARS TO 5 YEARS) - Tuesdays /Thursdays
Both classes will be taught by two WA State certificated teachers, Susan Clark and Jennifer Kinsman. Both teachers also have their endorsements in Visual Arts.
