  • WHO WE ARE 


    We have been part of the Bellingham community for 10 years this fall!
    We started as an after school and early childhood program, and we are now serving more than 160 families between all of our programs for preschool-6th grade.
    ​
    ​We believe that art is not just another subject to teach but also a way of teaching all the other subjects. This is why each of our programs are deeply invested in using art to educate, entertain, transform and inspire each of our students.

    • EARLY CHILDHOOD 
    • EARLY CHILDHOOD

      We believe students learn all subjects best by integrating art and play, and engaging all of their senses.

      Our arts rich curriculum is designed to expose young children to a variety of materials and disciplines to stimulate imagination, visual awareness and fine and gross motor skills.

      In addition to their regular classes our students also enjoy specialty classes taught by experts in music, Spanish and theatre.

      ​The knowledge that children gain in early childhood is crucially important for their futures, with quality preschool and pre-k experiences helping to lay the foundation for the kinds of skills, knowledge and behaviors that children will be expected to master during school.

    • AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM 
    • After-school program

      Sudents are transported or dropped off after their public school day ends to our space on Dupont Street.

      They will explore a variety of art materials such as clay, paint, cornstarch and fabric while learning that the most important part of art is the process not the product.
      ​
      Class opportunities include but are not limited to music, culinary arts, theatre, drawing, recycled materials and animation.

      Our enthusiastic and talented teachers make every afternoon an adventure. We believe art teaches children life skills such as developing an informed perception; articulating a vision; learning to solve problems and make decisions; building self confidence and self discipline; developing the ability to imagine what might be; and accepting responsibility to complete tasks from start to finish. ​
