Schools & Groups
Children need joyful, open-ended opportunities for art and play to truly thrive. Play and process art nurture creative thinking and authentically support social-emotional growth, but many educators and school leaders are unsure how to begin. That’s where we come in.
With over 300 early childhood educators and caregivers in more than 30 countries using our guides, we hear daily how our materials empower educators to integrate meaningful, child-centered learning experiences into their existing programs.
We partner with educators, administrators, and school districts to transform learning experiences, ensuring all children have the tools they need to learn, grow, and create.
Explore the options below to find the best fit for your school or group, and reach out to schedule a meeting—we’d love to collaborate with you.
“If you’re in a district where you feel the need to defend play, the curricular connections will be incredible talking points. These guides honor children and leave so much room for them to take the lead on their thinking and learning.”
— Liz, Kindergarten teacher
