Creative Explorers
Creative Explorers
The Art Spark is offering a Grown-Up & Me class for pre-schoolers on Thursdays from 11 AM-Noon at our studio.
Our Creative Explorer classes are designed to help 3-5 year old minds grow in their understanding of the world around them through art. Each class we teach Creative Explorers new concepts, artistic skills, and encourage them to navigate our studio independently. We inspire students to execute their own ideas as well as think through processes. Creative Explorers refine and enhance their motor skills as they focus on learning to cut, paint, draw, paper mache, mold, & so much more!
What's The Format Of Creative Explorers?
Length: 1 Hour (11am-Noon)
Ages: 3-5 yrs. + Grown Up
Each class is designed to help your child develop an understanding of the world around them. Classes begin with inspiration- this might be a book, a short video, or a demo! The following art project is designed to SPARK imagination & foster growth in your pre-schooler.
Projects will be inspired by our monthly studio themes!

What's The Cost
Creative Explorers is paid for on a class by class basis. Purchase a punch pass and come as you choose! Stay and watch/ assist your toddler on Thursdays! If you would prefer for your child to create independently, check out our Mini Maker drop-off program on Fridays.
Punch pass can be used for more than one child as well as for our Creative Tots Program. A 4 pack is $72 and a 10 pack is $160. You can also drop-in and pay via credit card $25 per class. This program runs through the school year but, we take a break during the summer months (we will have summer camps during this time). *This program will begin the Thursday after Labor Day. Please note that classes remaining on this pass will roll over to next year.
F.A.Q.
Do I need to let The Art Spark know we're attending?
No, you do not need to let us know! We want our Creative Explorer parents to feel like our program works with YOUR schedule. You can come every week, every other week, or whenever you have a free day. That is the beauty of our punch pass! All you need to do is show up with your child ready to have fun.
Where can I see examples of class projects?
Is it okay to bring my baby(ies) with my toddler to class?
Absolutely! We have a changing table in our bathroom, private areas to nurse if you need to, etc.
I have a 3 year old in the program, and their older sibling has a day off school, can I bring both to Creative Explorers?
Yes! That is absolutely fine. We are flexible with the ages for this reason! Please note if the sibling is going to participate in any way (eat snack, do the craft, etc) you will use two classes from your pass.
What if my 3-5 yr. old is ready to come to class without a grown up?
Check out our Mini Makers classes on Mondays and Fridays from 8:30-11:30am!
