ART FUN Drop Off

ART FUN is directed towards the development of children’s artistic, intellectual, and motor skills through the combination of art, education and play. We believe that each child should lead their own process of discovery and construct meaning about the world around them through their environment.

Tiny Greenhouse, therefore, strives to offer a stimulating, imaginative and engaging social space where children will come together and collaborate each week through language, play, art, and music at their individual pace and rhythm. Encouraging each child to express themselves with confidence and self-awareness, ART FUN will provide the tools to do so on both a verbal (group dialogue, story time, and narrative play) and nonverbal level (sensory and multimedia art projects). Bringing in elements of family and community, ART FUN will also emphasize relationship building, kindness, compassion, teamwork and responsibility as the children socialize in a fun and healthy learning environment each week.

The ART FUN program is lead by Michelle, a teacher with twenty years of experience in early childhood, with co-teachers. ART FUN classes have an excellent teacher/child ratio with a maximum of 5 children per class.

A parent or caregiver is required to attend the first session.

3 hour drop off - mornings, Monday through Friday

NEW! - 3 hour afternoon drop off - see schedule for details.

 Summer Sessions at Tiny Greenhouse!

Nature walks, play and investigation (rain or shine) at our very own Historic VanVorst park every day of the week, in our Tiny Greenhouse Summer Session!

This year we are emphasizing the "Tiny" and the "Green" in Tiny Greenhouse. Among the weekly themed projects and plans, we will be working with nature, recycling objects and growing plants together every day in very small groups.

Our philosophy lies in facilitating children's ability to grow and learn in a safe, stimulating environment on their own. We believe that a small group environment of 5-10 allows for a high quality early childhood program in the arts. It promotes the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of young children while allowing space for creativity and learning. We encourage children to enjoy at their own pace and we are committed to making each child feel valued and special, because they are! We live in the hope that children who come to Tiny Greenhouse will leave with the confidence to do their best to make the world a better place.

Each week we share our sanitation and behavior policies with our campers. They are based on Respect, Kindness & Honesty, and we use this each day for children to feel safe and comfortable. They are encouraged to respect themselves, each other, art materials, as well as the environment. They will use kindness in their relationships with others, as honesty will be the basis for all interactions.
