Arts & Crafts Programs

At Glen Iris Childcare and Kindergarten, we absolutely love arts and crafts, and even our Babies and Toddlers enjoy exploring a variety of creative mediums. Some of the fun activities we engage in include painting, drawing, pasting, construction, and finger painting. We make sure to use non-toxic paints for those little ones who are curious enough to test the taste, although we try our best to keep it on the paper!

Art is a wonderful way for children to reinforce their learning in an immersive and engaging way. Each child has their very own “art book”, where we collect all of their artwork throughout the year. At the end of the year, we give these art books to families as a precious memory of their child’s learning and development.

We believe that children learn best when they engage all of their senses, so we carefully plan activities that encourage them to extend their learning in a hands-on, immersive way. This is a key element of our program and supports the holistic development of each child.
