The Artful Child

Mar 3rd, 2023

I went to this school when I was 3 until I was 5 and the artistic values instilled in me, I still hold to this day. I credit the early introduction to art and the freedom to create for fuelling my passions for the Arts. I can now say I am a full time Graphic Designer and loving it. The Artful Child, I owe you many thanks

To all Lovers of Creative Living, my friend Sharon introduced me to the Artful and I felt as though I had met more custodians of how I parent (and grandparent)--through experiential, no-fault learning. Finding out about how the Artful has expanded the community I know is the future of conscious education. Thank you to the Artful for your courage and determination to bring our young ambassadors into the world and show them they are intelligent.

I thought I would share my perspective of my time within the school. Firstly, Jesse has spent years narrowing the philosophy of the school to be one where the whole child is nurtured and accepted. Her work goes noticed by parents and children, which leads to many 5 star reviews and returning families. The place is not a sterile cold setting. We run messy. We are in-tune with the natural rhythm of children learning what it means to be an artist and work freely. The staff to children ratio is a relieving difference when considering child-care in the public sphere. My years at the school are the highlight of my time spent with children.

Over the past three years The Artful Child has been anchor for my children. They started in the morning program, and now go to the the after-school club. Jessie and her staff are kind, observant and supportive. The children love the space. It's where they get to make art and meaningful connections, learn through play and to be themselves. This program is truly a gem.
