UpCycle Creative Reuse Center Winter/Spring Programs – 2013

Reggio-Inspired Explorations For Young Children
A playgroup for children with parent or caregiver
Ages 1-3
Wednesdays 9:30-11:30 am
$210 for 7 sessions, starting Feb. 6

Children will have opportunities to build, experiment and play with open-ended, repurposed objects and art materials. The activities are carefully designed to promote discovery and the development of new skills.  In our supportive environment, teachers guide children’s natural curiosity to encourage sustained attention and focus. Together parents and teachers participate with the children to nurture persistence and creativity.

Reggio Inspired Explorations for Pre-K Children
A preschool enrichment experience
Ages 4-5
Wednesdays 12:45-2:15 pm
$160 for 7 sessions, starting Feb. 6

Research shows that opportunities to work creatively with open-ended objects and art materials train the brain by developing problem-solving skills, focus, and persistence.  In this setting the children have time to engage with materials and each other to experiment and develop ideas.  Teachers participate with the children and use their observations to design challenges for subsequent classes.

Both programs are taught by former Beverley Hills Preschool teachers Eve LaMois and Suzanne Nealon.
