About the Program
This program is designed to provide children with a nurturing environment where they can unwind after school, engage in meaningful artistic activities, and build confidence through creativity. Our sessions will encourage self-expression, fine motor skill development, and problem-solving, all while having fun!
Proposed Operations
- Pick-Up Process: Trained staff will pick up children from school and escort them to our designated activity space. A structured sign-out procedure will ensure a smooth and secure transition.
- Safety Measures: All staff are first aid certified and have undergone background checks. We follow strict child safety protocols, ensuring a safe and supervised environment at all times.
Flexibility: Parents can choose from single-session drop-ins or ongoing participation based on their child’s interests and schedule.
Benefits for Families & the School Community
- Provides a structured, screen-free after-school activity that supports emotional well-being
- Helps children develop artistic skills, patience, and focus in a relaxed setting
- Gives parents peace of mind, knowing their children are in a safe and creative space
- Aligns with school values by supporting holistic education through the arts
Collaboration with Neighborhood Schools
To ensure the program’s success, I would love to explore:
✅ Permission to collect children from the school at dismissal
✅ A designated pick-up point for smooth transitions
✅ Opportunities to share program details with parents via school newsletters or bulletin boards
Two days a week 3:30-5:30 pm
After school classes 5 days a week from 3:00-6:00 pm
We will explore a variety of mediums each week and make special pieces geared to seasons, various themes and studying great artists. Each participant will be guided from their skill set and will learn various techniques in painting including highlighting, shading, and perspective. We will also explore crafts, sculpture, mixed media, seasonal décor, drawing, and journaling. Students at IAA art centre are encouraged to develop their own ideas and imagination. Give your child a great experience in our studio!
