DID YOU KNOW THAT at The Learning Garden, as part of our curriculum, your children do a weekly PROCESS ART Project?

How is Process Art different from doing a craft?

Process art focuses on the creative journey, not just the final product.

Advantages include:

- *Fostering creativity and self-expression*: Encourages children to explore, experiment, and express themselves freely.
- *Developing problem-solving skills*: Children learn to think critically and make decisions as they navigate the creative process.
- *Building confidence and independence*: Emphasis on process over product helps children feel proud of their efforts and develop a sense of autonomy.
- *Enhancing fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination*: Various art activities help refine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
- *Promoting exploration and discovery*: Children learn about textures, colors, and materials, developing their senses and curiosity.

By focusing on the process, preschoolers develop essential skills, creativity, and confidence, laying the foundation for future artistic and academic endeavors.

The Learning Garden....
Planting seeds of imagination, curiosity, creativity and love of learning

You can't skip the foundation and expect the structure to stand.

Play, movement, relationships, and exploration aren't distractions from learning. They're the experiences that build the brain, body, and skills that make later learning (including academics) possible.

That sequence is not optional. It's not outdated. And it's not negotiable.

Please trust the process (and beauty) of development.

DID YOU KNOW that KINDERMUSIK classes are included as a part of our regular curriculum here at
The Learning Garden??
Here’s one of the many reasons why:

Music Affects the Science of Reading

Music, like reading, is rooted in science. It’s rhythm, it’s auditory discrimination, it’s memorization, and all the things that are key to reading skills. When you pair music with read-aloud and movement, that’s the ultimate multisensory experience—all parts of the brain are firing. That’s what Kindermusik is all about and that’s where the scientific magic happens. In fact, research shows preschoolers who received just 30 minutes a week of Kindermusik demonstrated 32% greater gains in language and literacy skills.

We are still accepting registration for fall enrollment😊
