 afterschool art and daycare alternatives, ages 9 to 12...

Our afterschool programming for ages 9 to 12 is tailored to the heightened level of ability that age group possesses. While still in need of structured activities and supervision, preteens have creative skills that can be directed towards more independent learning and individual achievement. Our professional artists and educators will work with students to develop exercises which cater towards student interest and ability.
