CREATIVE PLAYDATE WORKSHOPS:

Step into our art-ful play program! Designed for elementary students, we focus on sparking children’s creativity and providing a joyful space to explore art in its many forms. From storytelling, sculpture, watercolors, and more, we nurture each child’s innate curiosity. Children will delight in making discoveries and growing their imaginations through immersive play-based learning, recreation, and experimentation with materials. Every day is an opportunity to connect with friends, tackle fun challenges, share skills, and celebrate learning. Weather permitting, we get plenty of fresh air, spending time outside to get our energy out and interact with our beautiful surroundings. Through exposure to art, nature, and community, the sources of inspiration abound. Get ready to be part of a magical adventure!

PROGRAM FEATURES

  • Art & Play = Essential: We intentionally integrate art and play to create a fun-filled experience that supports social-emotional learning, brain development, and overall well being.

  • Movement Matters: Each session will incorporate free play, creative movement, and/or games. We will also have the occasional dance party!

  • Mixed-Age Groups: We foster a sense of community and support mentorship, allowing younger children to learn from older friends who enjoy taking on leadership roles and vice versa.

  • Child & Teacher-Led: Our program is a blend of self-directed learning opportunities, teacher-led instruction time, and multigenerational skill sharing.

  • Consistent & Flexible Format: We offer a routine that allows children to engage in a variety of ways. Each session includes a warm-up creative activity, outdoor play (weather permitting), guided art instruction, and child-led making time.

  • Opportunities for Connection: Everyone is encouraged to actively listen, ask questions, and share their ideas. Through creative play, we’ll explore our sense of self in relation to others and the world around us.

  • Active Stewardship: We value eco-friendly practices that reduce waste and promote reuse. We’ll do our best to minimize backpack clutter while also inviting children to bring home special projects.
