Enrichment Classes

Our art class is rooted in creativity, exploration, and joyful learning. Each art lesson invites students to discover new materials, express their ideas, and build confidence as young creators. From preschool through first grade, children engage in developmentally appropriate projects that strengthen fine motor skills, support early academic concepts, and encourage imagination. As they grow, students are introduced to more intentional techniques, simple art vocabulary, and artist-inspired activities that align with our center’s focus on nurturing the whole child in a warm, engaging environment.
