Your child will gain useful life skills like communication, problem solving, social skills, fine motor skills and an essential understanding of sustainability and innovation. The studio believe art-making is a valuable tool for self-expression and gaining independence and their eco-friendly garden with edible plants is a home to chickens and guinea pigs. The garden is also the perfect place to relax, play and source materials for projects. Students will have opportunities to tend to plants and learn to share the space with animals.
