We believe every child deserves the chance to explore their creativity. That’s why we’ve designed these art sessions to be welcoming, accessible, and supportive for kids of all ages and abilities.

Neurodivergent & Sensory-Friendly Sessions

  • Low lighting to reduce sensory overload
  • No background music
  • A tub of shared fidget toys available during class

Allergy-Conscious & Safe Space

  • Workshop space is sterilized before each session
  • Workshop area is completely nut, gluten, egg, dairy, and corn free

Age Can Just Be A Number

  • Do you have a child who might be behind or ahead in learning?
  • Our sessions connect more with the Stages of the NSW Syllabus outcomes rather then ages.
  • So if your child is a prodigy like Sheldon Cooper or is developmentally behind, give us a call and we are happy to work with you on finding a session that works best for your child.

 

We are committed to making sure every child can feel safe, seen, and celebrated in our classes.
