Preschool Arts Lab
(Ages 3 to 5)

 

For Preschool Classes……

The Preschool Arts Lab is the School’s signature early arts program, offering creative literacy-based art classes at its Spirit Square location.  Over the course of the nine-month program, an entire preschool class spends one hour each month in the lab, participating in arts activities that center on a new book or poem each visit.  Activities typically include painting, collage, printmaking, weaving and woodworking.  Students experience a wide variety of media specifically chosen to stimulate their young minds and encourage them to express themselves through art.  To learn how to bring your child’s preschool class to the Preschool Arts Lab, please call Christi Milledge, Lead Teacher, at 704.377.4187.
