a multi-arts program full of connection, play, and joy for preschoolers and their grown-ups
Sarah Posthuma, our facilitator, engages preschool children in a process of discovery through play and the arts. Part of each class will take place OUTDOORS, as the weather permits! Accompanied by their adult, children will be supported in their process-based art-making (creative movement, visual art, storytelling, and music) and guided through small group activities that engage their creativity and imagination. We will also share a healthy snack together each week. (Babies in arms welcome alongside older siblings.)
The five-week session costs $119*
Fully subsidized spots are available. Contact us for more details.
When: Wednesdays, October 12 – November 16, from 10-11:30 am
Where: Church of the Ascension, 253 Echo Drive
COVID-19 protocols in place. Masks must be worn indoors, except when eating. (Please let us know if your child is not yet tolerating a mask.) We will be mindful of physical distancing wherever possible. Adult facilitators are fully vaccinated. Program dates and/or format may be adapted to meet changing public health requirements.
Church of the Ascension believes that creativity and play are good for the soul but Rising Up does not include any religious teaching or formation. If you are interested in those topics, please see Growing in Faith or contact our priest, Victoria.
*In fact, the six-week program costs $180 but Church of the Ascension and the Anglican Foundation of Canada are proud to provide a partial subsidy to all participants.
