Playscape® School Programs

Preschool/PreK
Playscape®: Experiencing Art Together
Sept.-Dec. 2025 | This program is a guided experience in the Playscape® Art Studio. Students will participate in a visual literacy lesson where they will make observations about a piece of real artwork. Next, students will use that work of art as inspiration to create their own masterpiece using a variety of artist’s tools and mediums.
Preschool/PreK
Playscape®: Making Music Together
Jan.-May 2026 | This program is a guided experience in the Playscape® Music Studio. A facilitator will lead students in musical activities using instruments, their voices, and bodies that incorporate tune, beat, and movement: three key areas of musical development for young children.
