after-school + GCS holidays

Parents and caregivers need help, and kids will have more fun with us!

Students in grades K-5 love our Art in the Afternoon after-school art-based childcare program, and the same energy abounds at our spring break and teacher in-service day sessions. If you're a working parent (or your child just loves the arts!), we will fill your child's day with creativity and fun. Check the calendar listings below for more details about our after-school program and sessions we're planning for spring break and other Guilford County Schools holidays/teacher in-service days. For more information or to ask any questions, please EMAIL US or call us at (336) 333-7475.

    STEAM - The Art of Building (1st-3rd)

    Art is all around us every day...and not just in the form of drawings and paintings. While learning about the buildings and structures around them, campers will stretch their expressive muscles and build new things that exist in their imaginations. They'll have the opportunity to design and build models of their own dream homes and assemble decorative art pieces from various age-appropriate (and fun!) materials, learning about simple, universal principles of architecture and assemblage sculpture along the way.
