Early Learning

Plant the seeds of creativity!

The early years are a key point in a child’s development: a time to investigate problem solving, nurture curiosity, and develop self-confidence. This makes an adventure in the
arts—whether it’s a first Dance, Music, Theatre, or Visual Arts class—all the more important.

Our programs are designed to encourage discovery in a fun, supportive, and inspiring environment. The Early Learning curriculum at Arts Umbrella has been developed by early childhood education experts and consultants, and is grounded in arts education principles.

The development of the whole child is at the forefront of every classroom experience and we recognize that every student develops at their own pace. Our faculty are trained to recognize developmental milestones and ensure that learning goals are aligned, layered, and complement each other from one stage to the next.

In all disciplines, students will be guided to use their imagination, intellect, and emotions for creative exploration and expression. Through active participation, children will acquire and experience fundamental techniques and concepts, including practical knowledge, arts language elements, social and emotional learning, and creative expression—fundamental  skills and abilities that will help them in the world.
