Mini Makers

Are you looking for creative ways to grow the imagination, curious learning, social and motor skills in your little learners? We have just the program.  Come check out our Mini Makers classes! Children ages 2-5 will be able to participate in age-appropriate guided play and hands-on learning opportunities at the studio with us. Our program has been developed to incorporate creative play, social interactions and community building, exploratory learning, along with discovering fine and gross motor skills. 

Mini Makers will be offered two Tuesday’s and one Saturday a month for all our small friends and is an experience-based program.  At these events, our Minis will be enjoying free play among the themed stations, story/lesson time, a guided craft activity, and more, alongside their grown up. These sessions are designed for young students who aren’t quite ready for a drop-off event or those grown ups who just want to have fun with them too!  Registration for Mini Makers is open throughout the semester.  Click here to jump to the class listing.

Each class has been planned to specifically include targeted skills that help our youngest learners grow both socially and academically.  Our goal is to facilitate curiosity and introduce children to classroom learning in a fun and creative setting.
