Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
General Information
What age group are your classes appropriate for?
Our classes are designed for children ages 18 months to 4 years old. We offer age-appropriate, hands-on activities that encourage creativity, sensory exploration, and fine motor skill development.
What kind of activities do you offer?
We focus on process-based activities, which means children explore different materials and techniques rather than focusing on a finished product. Activities include painting, collage, clay modeling, stamping, and other sensory-rich experiences. Currently we offer Art classes for ages 18 months – 4 years old. Check back in soon for future sessions for more classes like Build It / Make It, Science, and Cooking.
Do parents/caregivers need to stay during class?
Yes! Our classes are designed for little ones and their loved ones to participate together. This not only ensures safety but also allows for shared creative moments and bonding. We do ask that only one parent/caregiver attend per child so our classes do not become too crowded.
