Art and Craft in Pre-Kinder
From Ann-Margaret Gunther, Director of Pre-Kinder
Art and craft are a wonderful part of our daily program. The children love exploring different materials and techniques to create their own unique pieces of work. We are so proud of how their fine motor skills are developing.
The children are showing great improvement in their ability to use scissors, handle small, materials and complete their artwork with increasing independence and confidence. Look at some of the great work that has been created.
