Enrichment Programs
Here are examples of some enrichment programs we have offered over the years.
We pair the background of our qualified and nurturing professionals with the interests of our students. We are committed to enriching the development of our students.
We have an open door policy and welcome parent visits. We encourage parents to set up a special time with their teacher to participate in or lead activities such as reading to children, cooking, cultural experiences, science, art, music, or sharing occupations.
Process Art Lab
The Process Art Lab gives students the opportunity to explore a variety of art materials and flourish in the freedom to experiment with textures, tools and imagination. Our goal is not to produce a set product, but to set the mind free to create and express one's individuality.
What's unique about process art?
-
There are no step-by-step instructions or samples for children to follow; and no right or wrong way to explore and create.
-
The art is focused on the exprience and on exploration of techniques, tools, and materials.
-
The art is unique and original and entirely the children's own.
-
The experience is relaxing or calming and is completely the child's choice.
