2010 MULTI-ARTS MORNINGS (ages 3-5)

Preschoolers dive into the arts and summertime fun at Arts Together during Multi-Arts Mornings. Taught by professional arts educators, each week preschoolers explore art, dance, drama and music, as well as delving into educational enrichment activities in our learning lab. Each week has a different theme, which instructors use as the focus for their projects and activities. Children registered for multiple weeks like the variety of having something new to look forward to with each one. Grouped by age in an informal and nurturing setting, children delight in making new friends and trying new activities. The student to teacher ratio for Multi-Arts Mornings is 5:1.
Enrollment Requirements: Students must be age 3 by their camp start date and potty trained.
