ABOUT

Created by an Early Childhood Educator for young children.

Through a mission to find more creative activities for toddlers and preschoolers, Art Play was born. As a preschool teacher, arts educator, and mother to a young child, Kate Greenspan seeks to bring new and enriching opportunities for art to the Petaluma community.

Art Play is process-focused, messy, creative fun!

There is no right or wrong way to explore and create. Process art focuses on the experience and exploration of techniques, tools, and materials. Children use their whole bodies to create art that is entirely their own.

Why Process Art?

  • Social & Emotional

    Relax, focus, express feelings, & feel successful.

  • Physical

    Use small gross motor skills and large whole body movement.

  • Cognitive

    Compare, predict, plan, and solve problems.

  • Language & Literacy

    Discuss art and dictate process to others.

Art Play is inclusive & equitable.

The mission of Art Play is to provide art experiences to young children and their caregivers. No child will ever be turned away due to lack of funds or ability. The cost of each class is a materials fee of $13 per child when you pre-register. Class passes are available for $60 for 5 classes.
