Please note: Idyllwild is an ideal vacation area offering hiking, shopping, and a broad variety of restaurants. Quaint motels and cabins are available thoughout the summer.
For 5 year-olds: A birth certificate is required for age verification. Students must have completed kindergarten or one full year of full-day pre-school. If a 5 year old seems unable to handle the full day, parents will be requested to pick up the child at lunch time.
The Multi-Arts program challenges children to use their imaginations to translate creative ideas/images into Visual Art, Music, Movement and Creative Drama as separate disciplines as well as through integrative arts experiences. Each week the program will revolve around a theme of interest to children.
Students work in large and small groups throughout the day in a variety of age groupings so children have the opportunity to learn how to work cooperatively and collaborate in the arts. While the program is designed for children ages 5-8, it is recommended that any 5 year old be mature enough to handle a full day of program. Parents are welcome to stay the first morning only of each session until the children have gone to their first class.
Each one-week session ends with an Open House on Friday at 2:45 p.m. The Open House is held each week at the Oaks which is located directly above the Children’s Center office.
