WHAT IS OUR MISSION?
Children are naturally creative. It’s our mission to provide them with the learning, encouragement, materials and space to uncover their creativity and allow it blossom to its fullest potential. Fostering creativity is an important aspect of childhood development, which may not be fully realised through the school curriculum. Creativity feeds the soul and the desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human experience, it has the power to make us truly happy.
"Art washes away from the soul the dust of the everyday life"
