Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain's pathways, which lead to the child's ability to complete more complex learning tasks. Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem-solving skills, and social interaction.
Pandemic Drop-in
With careful consideration, drop-ins are back!
Enjoy a drop-in at our creative space, play with sensory materials, paint and draw to relieve stress and anxiety. Bookings are 1 hour long, with 30 minutes in between sessions to ensure we can sanitize and clean all surfaces, we will wear masks when handling all materials and wash/sanitize anything that have been touched. You will have access to our messy room to paint or draw and we will provide you with your own personal themed sensory bin, you can choose to take the sensory material home or discard it at the end of your session! All participants will have their own space to play safely and there will be no sharing of materials or toys.
* Open to only 5 participants at a time (+1 parent/child) in a safe and sanitized space.
* Only $12 per session, or pick the "pay in-person" option to use your punch card!
* We recommend that adults wear a mask.

Arts Education affects the way we see others and ourselves. New brain research shows that not only does art improve skills in Math and Reading, but it promotes creativity, social development, personality adjustment, and self-worth.

Our learning pods are designed to provide a safe space for your children to continue their learning experience by adding art to their at-home curriculum. Students involved in the arts have tremendous academic benefits compared to students without exposure to the arts. Art inspires kids to excel, increases motivation, improves attitudes, reduces anxiety and improves overall academic performance.
We cater to each individual child based on their age, skill, and attention span. We encourage free creativity while teaching technique in a structured environment, we give older kids more challenging art levels and responsibility, we encourage the little ones to seek help from the older kids creating a community and cooperative space.
With social distancing still in place we have a maximum of 6 kids per pod (exceptions for siblings and family units). We will try to spend as much time outside as possible (weather permitting) and encourage frequent hand washing. Our sensory bins will consist of only antibacterial materials like shaving cream, soap and water etc. Don't worry, we get very creative with our sensory bins! Our cleaning procedures were always impeccable (who else washes walls!) but we have switched our cleaning to all antiseptic products to ensure a more sanitized environment.
Reserve your spot now and we will contact you closer to the date for a health screening questionnaire that must be completed before our first day.

Applied Arts refer to any form of art applied to design or decoration. This may include industrial, graphic, fashion, interior design, and conceivably the decorative arts. Fine Arts are instead aimed at providing aesthetically pleasing and intellectually stimulating forms of art.
Our Fine & Applied Arts class delves into both worlds by alternating between practical and artistic applications. Students will learn about fashion design & brush strokes, design concepts & pencil sketching, Stefan Sagmeister & Pablo Picasso. This is a perfect class for ages 8 and up who are interested to discover more about the art world.
