Crayola Imagine Arts Academy (Art-ventures for Kids), Grades K-5

Join us for Crayola Imagine Arts Academy, formerly ART-ventures for Kids. Same great instructors, new, innovative programs now in collaboration with Crayola - designed as "Art With Purpose". Crayola Imagine Arts Academy believes that artistic enrichment is a crucial element of a great education! When children learn to appreciate form and color, when they grasp the importance of fashioning their own images of the world around them, they gain greater self-confidence and self-discipline. With our imaginative curricula and inspiring instructors, we encourage creative spirits and imaginations. We nurture creativity and the process of critical thinking, as children experience a variety of art techniques, tools, and original materials. We inspire children to interpret art in their own unique way as they explore artist's styles, art forms, culture and history. We are also very serious about having fun with art!

Mad Science, Grades K-5*

Mad Science of Western New England is the leading science enrichment provider in the region. Since 1998, we have delivered unique, hands-on science experiences for children through after-school programs, birthday parties, in-school and on-site kids' workshops, summer programming and special events such as stage shows and hands-on discovery centers. We provide our unique "edutainment" in Western and Central MA, Northern CT and Southern VT & NH. Our mission is to inspire children through science, sparking lifelong imagination and curiosity.
