What are the benefits of art for children?
Creativity & Critical Thinking
Art requires imagination and unique problem solving, skills that carry into every subject in school and life.
Visual Literacy
By exploring color, line, shape, and texture, children develop sharp attention to detail and focused concentration.
Cultural Awareness
Creating art connects children to diverse cultures and perspectives, broadening their view of the world.
What parents are saying
“My nanny took my 3 year old to PLAYDAY on a day there was no school and my daughter came home so excited about all of the projects she created. She also told me to tell her nanny she doesn't need to come with her when they go back today since she has her own special art teacher when she is there. The projects she brought home made it clear to me that the PLAYDAY staff was able to keep my daughter's focus and attention. She was SO PROUD of her work. And we just booked her 4th birthday party at PLAYDAY next month! Can't wait.”
