Curriculum

Preschool

Ages 3.5 to 5 years old/Kindergarten Young Rembrandts teaches pre-school children the skills necessary to draw more complex images. As pre-schoolers learn to draw and color with our step-by-step method, they develop observations skills, increase their fine motor skills, handwriting readiness and attention to detail. Our weekly program prepares them as learners so they will be successful in kindergarten. Our classes are fun, engaging and affordable.

Participating in Young Rembrandts’ creative and encouraging classes helps young children learn to follow directions, hold and use a pencil, and stay on task.
