Research has
shown that the benefits of introducing art in early childhood far outweigh the
mess these little ones can make! Importantly, children who are exposed to the
arts learn to think creatively and with an open mind. They learn how to
observe, describe and analyze as well as to express feelings. Children in art
programs see multiple points of view, gain experience with collaboration, and
gain confidence. Montgomery County Recreation offers a wide selection of art
classes including programs designed especially for our littlest artists!
