Teaching

The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.

Mark van Doren, American writer and educator, 1894-1972

What are we teachers up to? What role are we playing on our best day?

Art provides preschoolers the laboratory for developing essential fine-motor, thinking, and social skills needed in elementary school. It enhances visual awareness and appreciation, individual expression, and creative problem-solving. Through art we have the chance to inspire connections with our world. Preschoolers develop the capacity to observe and wonder at our rich and varied world, and enjoy life in it.
