THE ART OF PLAY

The Art of Play explores the joy and power of creative play to enrich engagement for all learning and communication styles. It’s a chance for young children and their caregivers to play, soothe, connect, and bond with each other. We use the foundational elements of music, movement, rhythm, and theater to discover options for visual, auditory, and physical stimulation. As we build a new shared language through play we learn to let go of what we think communication should look like and uncover all the creative ways that we can connect.

The Art of Play is designed for children from birth to 3 years old and their family members or caregivers (parents/caregivers, grandparents, extended family members, siblings).
