Artwork benefits all aspects of children’s development. While working with various art materials such as clay, markers, cornstarch, and fabric, children experiment with color, line, shape and size as they draw, paint, and make collages. For children, it is the process of creating that is important, not what they actually create.

See what some parents have to say about our program:"I am continually impressed with the high caliber and super FUN art education my daughter receives at GAK. All the projects foster critical thinking and creative problem solving and the curriculum aligns with the National Core Arts Standards. As a teacher myself--I appreciate the focus on building skills of collaboration, play and creativity instead of "making a product". As a mom--I appreciate the high standard of personalized care that I see from ALL the staff. Bellingham is so fortunate to have GAK!"
