Afterschool Program
Fostering Creativity and Kindness in Young Minds
“The degree to which you have social-emotional intelligence, and the mastery of it, really predicts success in life.”
~ Dr. Jeremy Richman
This program is more than just a class—it's an opportunity to inspire young minds to grow creatively, emotionally, and socially. Through the unique combination of ceramic art and kindness education, students gain skills that reach beyond the classroom, shaping them into compassionate and resilient individuals.
-
By engaging in hands-on art projects, children unleash their imagination and learn to express themselves in ways that build confidence and encourage individuality. Each creation becomes a meaningful reflection of their personal growth.
-
Our kindness lessons help children understand emotions, build empathy, and practice self-awareness. These skills not only enhance their relationships with others but also promote mental well-being and resilience.
-
Through group projects and collaborative activities, students develop teamwork and communication skills while building lasting friendships. Kind Art fosters a sense of community where every child feels valued and included.
-
Kindness is a skill that grows with practice. By exploring themes like Gratitude, Self-Awareness, and the Ripple Effect of Kindness, children learn to carry these values into their daily lives, positively impacting themselves and those around them.
-
In addition to learning art and kindness in an impactful and lasting way, each student will make and take home a special 8” round stepping stone and ‘be kind’ necklace which will reflect some of their experiences and lessons learned during this 5 week class
