Play-Based Curriculum

"Play is at the core of children's learning. Through play, kids develop and practice their skills, learn how the world works, and build their knowledge and understanding.... To be considered 'play', children's activities need to be self-chosen and self-directed. Kids who are experienced and competent at play are creative, confident, self-motivated learners."

-Becoming the Parent You Want to Be, Davis and Keyser

Creative art provides a place for children to bring creativity to life.

*paint   *glue  *paper   *Collages   *Scissors   *pictures   *crayons(TM)   *playdough   *Cloth   *markers    *yarn and string 
  (to name only a few)

Children are encouraged to express themselves physically and aesthetically, represent ideas and feelings and acquire fundamental concepts and skills in the area of art.
