Art is so much more than just coloring! Art is incorporated into every class and every aspect of our curriculum – and yes it does get a little messy!
Whether its painting a canvas or themselves our art program encourages children to get a little messy and get their brain stimulates.
In a typical day you can find our Toddlers with paint in their hair and our preschoolers with paint everywhere else.
Our Curriculum Coordinator and our team plans activity that encourages creativity.
We nurture a child’s love for art by giving them the opportunity to create a masterpiece that they can be proud of. Art in the classroom can be ways for our kids to express themselves and grow in their development as part of our Nationally-accredited program art is available throughout each day to encourage child directed play.
Through many mediums children can show their artistic side and increase fine motor skills.
Child Development Through Art
At Young Scholars Academy, we give your child the opportunity daily to show their artistic side by having art supplies readily available as well as areas for them to write because as we all know art is a plethora of concepts.
We make sure to display all children’s art work so that you may enjoy walking in a seeing the delight they have for the talent they have shown.
We also incorporate art into our daily curriculum to help facilitate comprehension of the varying ways art can be applied in other areas- come in and be ready to get messy!

Art In Our Daily Curriculum
We incorporate art into our daily curriculum to help facilitate comprehension of the varying ways art can be applied. Did you know a whole curriculum can be centered just on one piece of art?
Although Spring has officially ended, the kids were so interested in all the types of bugs they were finding on the playground and ESPECIALLY the bees they found near the greenhouse we have on the playground!
The Pre-Kindergarten class decided one afternoon to make their own bumblebees, but the teachers ensured it was something just for them, and something they could just do! Crafts, which typically are very teacher-directed, don’t have to be; you can help kids do it all themselves!
Here are the steps to create your very own:
1. Have the kids cut out their own oval. Find an oval shape to help guide them, prepare yourselves for a shape that will look nothing like an oval!
2. (Parent) Place masking tape in rows, leaving enough space in between for noticeable stripes
3. Have children paint over the whole taped area, then allow paint to dry.
4. Have the kids remove the tape (this is great for their fine motor skills!)
5. Additions you could do are googly eyes, wings, pom poms for the bumblebee fuzz effect etc.
Tada! Just goes to show that any everyday experience can turn into a learning lesson for the kids. Let them do it themselves as much as you can; their sideways artwork will one day be something you look back on and get teary eyed!
