Our Music Program

Our music program aims to inspire and nurture the musical talents of youth in the community. Through a variety of engaging activities and lessons, participants have the opportunity to explore different genres, learn to play instruments, and develop their vocal skills. The program not only fosters a love for music but also provides a supportive environment for personal growth and creative expression. 

Arts Program

Children delight in exploring and creating with art materials. These art experiences help children develop many life skills. Art is important for children especially during their early development. Because young children are still developing their language skills, arts and crafts help them to show what they’re thinking and feeling without using words. Creative play also allows children to try out new skills, express their individuality and identify and explore their thoughts and ideas in a safe way

Makerspace

The Makerspace Program is a place that provides hands-on, creative ways for students to design, experiment, and invent as they engage with a variety of tools and technology.
