Daily arts lessons with opportunities for showcases

Children at NAFA Arts Preschool receive lessons encompassing Music (keyboard and instruments), Visual Arts, Dance (creative movement and ballet), and Bilingual Speech & Drama. Carried out by experienced industry educators, these lessons are integrated into core academic learning across Language and Literacy, Numeracy, Social and Emotional Development, Motor Skills, Discovery of the World, and the Arts.

The benefits? Children become imaginative thinkers, curious explorers and inventive creators! Learning becomes an interactive and meaningful experience for them. And with the arts’ ability to enhance communication, discipline, problem-solving, autonomy and positive self-image, children are supported in both cognitive and social-emotional development.

Children also get opportunities to participate in showcases and performances throughout the year–a joy for parents who love to witness their children thrive!
