Launching a new pre-kindergarten arts program for 3-5 year olds
Creative Arts has been teaching Visual Art, Music, and Theater to students of all ages and abilities from its Reading town center location and surrounding towns since 1978. Beginning this fall, Creative Arts is launching its new Creative Arts PreK for Kids program on Monday, September 9, 2024. Creative Arts will be offering children ages 3-5 years old, led by a certified Pre-K teacher, who will be implementing a Pre-K educational program that integrates visual arts, music, and movement. The program will run Mondays through Fridays from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM from September 2024 to June 2025.
For visual arts, children will be drawing, painting, and making 2-D and 3-D mixed media art using watercolor, acrylic paints, crayons, non-toxic clay, natural outdoor materials, different types of paper, fabric, upcycled supplies, and other materials.
For the music part of programming, professional music teachers currently on staff will teach music instruments, singing, and movement twice a week.
