Darlington Art Center

Introduce your child to writing, counting and a classroom environment through arts-focused curriculum. The Preschool at Darlington Arts Center includes music, visual arts, creative movement and drama!

Teachers emphasize creativity, imagination, exploration, and active participation. In art, the emphasis is on process and progress rather than product. Children are encouraged to experiment with a variety of materials and techniques in order to expand their artistic expression and hand-eye coordination. Music instruction includes listening, singing, moving, and playing rhythm instruments. They develop an appreciation for the patterns and musical variety produced by rhythms and melodies. In drama and creative movement, students engage in role playing and movement utilizing their creativity and imaginations to their fullest.

Students will engage in the arts as a whole as they spend the morning exploring music, visual art, and creative movement each week. Students will receive a certificate of achievement at the end of the semester.

Darlington's music students perform for family & friends.
