We incorporate art, storytelling, movement and STEAM activities. Play provides a shared language regardless of culture or age using tangible and interactive tools tapping into childrenโs ability to imagine and make sense of lifeโs challenges. Itโs about funโฆ.and itโs about doing!

Creating kids who can confidently deal with mistakes.
Telling children that mistakes are okay is not enough. We challenge them to deal with the big emotions that come with mistake making and face it with a growth mindset. Our Mistake Maker programs will give your child the skills to be a Mistake Maker!
Developing kids patience
Our workshops use the principles of the slow movement. Itโs about the journey and not the destination. When kids tell us they have finished, we challenge them to add more to make it interesting and slow down.
Developing fine motor skills
All our workshops provide messy play and tactile experiences which assists with hand eye coordination, fine and gross motor skills development. We provide everything and clean up the mess.
Teaching kids to be friends and leaders
All of our programs give children the opportunity and skills to identify and celebrate their own special qualities and show respect for the unique strengths in others. This is an essential part of childrenโs well being and social development.
Mastering an art technique and over coming challenges provide powerful reminders of a childโs ability long after the paint dries or the activity finishes. We know that sometimes it can be a bit daunting to try something new or leave mum and dad. Our classes are a safe way for children to develop childrenโs independence. Itโs also a great way for them to try new things. Itโs okay to be nervous but it wonโt last long at our workshops.
Growing engaged learners that will keep trying
We teach children that learning is not a straight line. Itโs a squiggly one where you go forward, backward โ even side ways. By developing their growth mindset they learn that they will learn when they think helpful thoughts to tackle a problem. We teach kids to listen and then change their thoughts. โI canโtโ becomes something like to โThis is hard but I will tryโ
Teaching kids how to be boredom busters.
