Concepts & Activities
Montessori Curriculum
Montessori education fosters a natural love for learning by moving from concrete to abstract concepts, focusing on the individual child's potential, educating the whole child, and abstaining from rewards to cultivate intrinsic motivation.
Yum Yum Yum Baking
Learning the names of food, ingredients, kitchen items. By this, They gain practical knowledge about everyday objects. This learning process also encourages curiosity and a deeper interest in cooking and nutrition.
Clay Play / Clay Wheel
Playing with clay offers numerous benefits for children's development.Most importantly,
Emotional Expression: Clay provides a safe and engaging medium for
children to express their feelings and ideas. It allows them to
communicate and explore emotions through the tactile and malleable
nature of the material.

Cardio, Yoga & Meditation
At Creative Minds Children's House, we recognize that stress can affect not only adults but also children. It is important to address stress in children, as they may exhibit signs of stress in different ways. That is why we offer programs that focus on cardio exercise, yoga, and meditation to help children manage their stress and promote overall well-being.
Painting Classes
Drawing, painting, clay, and mixed-media classes, along with pop-up workshops for ages 4 and up, blending fundamental skills with playful experimentation. Our small class sizes foster innovation and self-confidence. We also host painting parties at our studio or on-location.
Mixed Media Painting
In a mixed media art project, students typically layer different
materials to create visually appealing artworks. While younger
students may initially struggle with handling multiple materials, the
process of experimentation teaches them valuable problem-solving
skills and helps them understand how colors and textures can
complement each other.
Reggio Emilia Approach
This emphasizes that children should have a say in their learning and engage their senses in the process. They are encouraged to interact with peers, explore the world through materials and relationships, and express themselves freely with endless opportunities. The environment is considered the third teacher.
