This process-art and sensory exploration class is designed to help our youngest creators (and their grown-ups) navigate the world and big emotions through play. Each session begins with a curated storybook time that centers on a specific feeling or sensory experience, followed by a hands-on discovery station where children engage with various textures/multimedia materials, body movement, and gentle acoustic rhythms.

Rather than focusing on a finished "product,” we prioritize the process, encouraging curiosity, fine motor development, and co-regulation between caregiver and child. It’s a messy, joyful space where "oops" is celebrated and every sensory discovery is a win.

Example class themes: - Soft & Quiet (Textiles and pastels) - Bold & Brave (Primary colors and large-scale finger painting) - Sticky & Silly (Collage and mixed media) - Calm & Cool (Watercolors and light-play)
