About our programs:
{Location: Post Road} Little Artists: an award winning art class for ages 2 years old to 5 years old!
This art class curriculum is expertly designed to provide children with a multi-faceted arts experience that balances lots of materials, experiments, play and of course fabulous art-projects! In addition to fine motor skill development, students get a strong introduction to materials, techniques, and vocabulary. These young artists have loads of fun & learn so much. (Dropoff, fully potty trained students only.)
We love this class!
{Location: Wickford} new! Discovery Lab: Play, create, discover at hands-on activity stations. A new way for children & adults to enjoy HCA’s invitations to imagine and make! This is the perfect “get out of the house” activity: It guarantees lots of joy but doesn’t require lots of planning, energy, or packing on your part. Great for a playdate/friend meet-up!
– drop-in registration –
{Location: Wickford} new to the weekly schedule! Make & Play: A drop-off edition of Discovery Lab, where children will explore stations and create one or two take-home projects. This session is more self-directed, providing children opportunities to explore their own interests, develop their skill sets, practice social skills, exercise their creativity, and gain independence. (Dropoff, fully potty trained students only.)

FAQs:
-What is the fall schedule? Scroll down to the registration list. You can also view it in calendar mode.
–I heard HCA Halloween programs are awesome! When are they? Due to popularity, we are including our special Halloween projects in our weekly classes. Additional sessions will be added as well.
–Do you offer drop-in or try-it classes? Not for our signature art classes (sometimes/ once in a while). Most families who register end up staying with us for years, and prefer registering for long sessions rather than changing their schedule around or having to re-register. If there is a spot open in a class that works for you we highly recommend you snag it! (If class really isn’t a good fit for you we can work something out if you need to cancel.)
-Is it all moms who attend the class? Nope! We get all kinds of caregivers, from moms to dads to grandparents to aunts to nannies to step-parents… We love getting to know our entire community.
