                    |  Art forms part of the Montessori program. It helps to perfect 
                      the movements of the hands, stimulate creativity in children 
                      and develops an appreciation of artistic values such as 
                      colour, patterns, texture and design. It expands children's 
                      ability to observe and helps them cultivate an eye for details.

                    |  Art is an integral part of every aspect of the curriculum. 
                      As the child enjoys exploring nature and things around him, 
                      art further stimulate the child to be more independent and 
                      self-reliant. It further enhance the aesthetic sense, the 
                      appreciation of things around him.

                    |  Children 
                      need to have appropriate tools and must be shown the techniques 
                      of using them. One important human characteristic is the 
                      use of our hands to create. Thus equipped with proper tools 
                      and techniques, the children feel happy, fulfilled and confident 
                      when they can use their hands to create.

                      through the sensorial experiences as they explore art with 
                      their senses.

                    |  As children explore, experiment and work with the different 
                      variety of media, they unconsciously develop confidence, 
                      sense of self satisfaction and pride. |  |
