KID STUDIO is our popular open-ended program. Each child leads the direction of their creativity using our 2000 sq. ft. studio and the wide variety of materials and resources we offer. Although the program is student directed, new projects are introduced regularly in short mini lessons designed to expand each child’s creative inquiry. During a typical day, students can be found making a clay sculpture, drawing from a realistic 3D model or live animal, or painting on a canvas with artist grade acrylics. The possibilities are limitless!
