ARTstart: Literacy, Mindfulness, & Music

$25 is for all ARTstart programs throughout September. If you prefer to join us as a drop-in, please email [email protected] to reserve a spot and pay $10 when you arrive for the class. Space is limited, reservation is required as we will sell out!

Introduce children ages 4–7 to creativity, self-awareness, and self-expression through themed weeks in literacy, mindfulness, & music. All forms of participation are welcome and respected.

Literacy with Miss Sharon: September 8 & 22

Step into a world where stories come to life through art! Each day, we’ll read a children’s book and then bring its themes and characters into the real world with a hands-on art project. Kids will explore creativity, imagination, and self-expression while connecting words to visuals in a fun, supportive environment.

Mindfulness with Miss Kelsy: September 15

Let’s take a deep breath and explore our inner world together. Through movement, breathwork, games, and guided reflection, kids will learn tools to navigate big feelings, stay present, and build emotional awareness. Each activity supports self-regulation and encourages calm confidence. This ARTstart is led in partnership with Essence of the Butterfly Foundation.

Music with Miss Angelique: September 29

Calling all little movers, shakers, and music makers! Join us for a playful, family-style music class filled with singing, movement, imaginative play, and musical storytelling. Kids will explore rhythm, pitch, and instruments while building motor skills and deepening bonds with their caregivers. Comfortable clothing is encouraged. It’s normal for some children to observe quietly at first—they're still learning, and all forms of participation are welcome and respected.
