Why Arts?

BENEFITS OF ARTS CURRICULUM

At Arts in Motion Preschool, we believe the arts are essential to a child’s growth and development. Participation in the arts nurtures creativity, innovation, and problem-solving — skills that are more valuable than ever in today’s fast-paced, globally connected world. Inside of our uniquely specialized program, children learn through dance, music, drama, tumbling, yoga, aerial arts and visual arts – building the foundational skills they need for future academic success and lifelong learning. A creative approach to education encourages curiosity, confidence, and a love for discovery. At Arts in Motion, we are passionate about providing a positive, welcoming environment led by dedicated teachers who inspire and support each child’s journey. We are proud to help young learners grow into capable, creative, and compassionate individuals, ready to thrive in a changing world.

 
 

Arts learning includes sensory, perceptual, and physical experiences that develop understanding of important concepts, such as:

  • relationships between space and time
  • form and structure
  • the life cycle

Experiencing literature and story-telling through drama, visual art, dance, and music can help students to:

  • connect literature to personal experiences
  • develop a rich perspective
  • relate to others
Our licensed educators take pride in developing the whole child and setting the stage for future learning.  The artistic and well rounded approach of Arts In Motion Childcare Centre concentrates on these main developmental skills:
  • Social and emotional growth
  • Intellectual development
  • Creativity
  • Physical development of Fine and Gross Motor Skills
A NURTURING AND CREATIVE WORLD
Through hands-on, meaningful experiences in the arts, children at Arts in Motion Performing Arts Childcare Centre are able to explore the world through their inherent and natural curiosities; the arts provide a playground for the mind of the child. Arts education is the answer to preparing young minds and bodies for a creative world.
 
EARLY DEVELOPMENT IS FUNDAMENTAL TO THE GROWTH OF YOUR CHILD
Exploring and discussing art with young children pays off by helping children organize their thoughts and develop logical, yet creative thinking. Children learn that “visual symbols can communicate ideas” and story telling can help improve descriptive language. Taking care to allow children the opportunity to talk, dramatize, sing, dance and otherwise creatively communicate allows them to sharpen their ability to use symbolic thought.
