Prioritize creativity in childhood
HARNESS THE POWER OF PROCESS ART & PLAY
The Creativity Project is an extensive online resource for educators and caregivers endeavoring to make time and space for open-ended art and play experiences that nurture social and emotional development, foster essential critical thinking skills, spark innovation, and develop creative confidence in young children.
Find Flow
Flow is different than focus or concentration. There is a joyfulness that comes from being fully immersed in a creative experience. Learn to create an environment where children can deeply engage with materials, problem-solve, test out their own theories, and trust themselves.
Promote Agency
Children know when they are in a space of agency because they feel supported in their choices and safe to be who they are. We’ll show you how to honor the ideas and experiences of each child so they can become confident decision-makers, innovators, and problem solvers.
Practice Flexibility
Shift your perspective about what is possible in working with young children. When educators adopt a more flexible mindset about classroom environment, approaches to materials, and responses to creative experiences, the space becomes a joyful, innovative, inclusive one for all.
