Preschool Art Club
2- 5 years
Educator child ratio 1:5
Preschool Art Club is a DROP-OFF program focused on exposing young children to a creative environment. Children are invited to explore art materials independently and in small social settings: make decisions, push boundaries, problem-solve and self-advocate.
At the end of the program, families will take home our art 'recipes' and new ideas to facilitate open-ended creative play at home.
Homeschool STEAM Club

Led by Ontario Certified Teacher
10 children max.
Monthly Progress Report including curriculum expectations covered
BYO nut-free lunch; healthy snacks will be provided
Artists ages 4+ will meet every Mon & Fri from 10:15 am- 1:15 pm with the option to book a free drop-in on the weekends. Each month, we will be exploring a different STEAM topic (i.e. September is invention month) where artists will ask questions and problem-solve through conducting science experiments, engineering, math and design processes. Artists will have access to textile art, woodworking, clay and more art mediums. They'll work on cross-curricular projects (i.e. Social studies: design a food drive using found materials; Science: create a simple machine with wood & wire ) of their own choice. We'll also be going on field trips & curating our own art shows!
Our Community
Parent-teacher collaboration is at the heart of our School's program! While we may know very well how the children play and interact with others within our school walls, parents certainly know best about what goes on outside. Through collaboration, we cultivate a community that supports the children, our educators and parents as a whole.
As a parent in our preschool, there are many ways to be involved:
1. Parent Volunteer: Each family is encouraged to join the classroom at least once a year. You may do a special presentation about your family’s culture, read a story on your child’s birthday or join us on a field trip.
2. Parent Group: The parent group is organized by our parents for our parents. Some activities include paint night, parent social and parenting workshops led by industry experts.
3. Annual art show & fundraiser: There will be an art show & fundraiser every school year. These events are first opened to family and friends then available to the public.
Philanthropy Education
EPA School is actively participating in fundraisers throughout the year. At our preschool, we believe in nurturing compassionate hearts and instilling a sense of community responsibility from the earliest age. Our philanthropy program is an integral part of our community, modelling the values of kindness, empathy, and generosity to our children. Through every day experiences and discussions, we help our children see the needs of others and explore ways they can make a positive impact in other’s lives.
By engaging in acts of kindness and giving, whether through donations, art sale, or simply spreading joy, our children develop essential life skills while fostering a deeper connection to the world around them. Philanthropy education not only shapes compassionate individuals but also cultivates a brighter, more empathetic future for all.
