Mini Makers
Ages 1.5 – 4
Holly Nowakowski
Children benefit from sharing creative play with their parent/caregiver. This program is designed to nurture this relationship and enhance early foundational skills, while encouraging the inquisitive and curious nature of your child. Through process-based art, we will explore the colorful and creative world around us. Classes incorporate literacy, music, self-expression, and movement and will end with students having created art they are proud of.
