Join us at Nurture Cottage in our gorgeous Creative Play Studio. Children get to explore the sensory room and have free reign throughout the whole studio to experience, create, investigate, problem solve and enjoy our wonder filled play experiences and invitations.
Throughout the Studio there are a variety of educational and creative process art based materials that stimulate learning while allowing for individuality and confidence building. We provide many opportunities for the children to make choices that support and encourage curiosity, resilience and wonder.
Throughout the Creative Play experiences social emotional learning, compassion and communication skills will be woven through each activity and experience.
CREATIVE PLAY SESSIONS
We offer session passes for our weekly creative play sessions, aimed at inspiring and promoting a love of learning. These sessions include a variety of musical, creative, and sensory experiences, followed by free exploration in our Creative Play Studio. Through these sessions, children can build confidence, develop peer relationships, and nurture their curiosity in a low-demand environment.
Our Creative Play based invitations nurture each child's natural sense of curiosity and interest with thoughtfully planned creative learning experiences which will serve as a strong foundation for future growth and development. We believe in the healing power of play, creativity, process art and community. We have small group programs that are play- and creative arts based that help to develop and support social engagement, emotional regulation, resilience building and anxiety. We are dedicated to working with each child’s strengths and interests building on these throughout the sessions.
Each session we will be utilising a multitude of art mediums and creative outlets, your child is given a unique opportunity to express themselves and explore their own ideas and creative expression. All sessions have a focus of process art, music, and movement allowing for all styles of learning to participate and feel comfortable and safe.
Social and emotional resilience will develop over time through creativity, collaboration and problem-solving activities. Materials such as clay, paint, paper, loose parts and sensory materials are readily available to allow for each child's unique experience to occur. Although these are facilitated group sessions the children have choice within the setting. There is opportunity for group and individual creative process work. Each small group is set within school age groups and provides opportunities to explore new friendships developing communication and social engagement. These sessions are low- demand with many sensory activities available at all times supporting all sensory needs.
It is through our Creative Play based curriculum and studio that we aim to support children to build emotional and social capacity, increase social and community participation, wellbeing and living skills.
*Sessions facilitated by a Play Therapist/Creative Arts Therapist and Early Childhood Teacher. Classes are capped at 10 participants to ensure a quality experience for all. Visit our Instagram for updates too!
