• What do we do in Artful Lil’ Hands
==> The regulars of the Artful Lil’ Hands playgroup are mothers who believe that learning should be fun, exciting, and filled with many different experiences. During our sessions, we offer the kids opportunities in many areas of development; there will be music, art, math, science, language arts, and physical games.
==> In 2009, we will adopt a thematic approach using a curriculum created by me.
==> In this program we aimed to nurture the love of learning in the children through fun and interactive activities. Making the learning process meaningful, thus assist the children's ability to comprehend and remember what they have been exposed to. We also hope to heighten the children's curiosity, enjoyment of participation and self-direction in this program.
