Our Advanced Art program is designed for the child that enjoys Painting & Drawing, Sculpture, Roblox Design, or Architecture and wants to move their skills to the next level.
From regular programming to specialized workshops, you have so many opportunities to immerse your child in the world of ART. Not to mention, our very popular custom creative Birthday Parties.

Art requires children to use their imagination and interpret the world in their own way, helping them think outside the box and come up with unique solutions.
By learning to look closely at color, line, shape, and texture, children develop their attention to detail and their ability to focus on a task.
Creating art enlightens children to different cultures and perspectives, giving them a glimpse into the diversity of human experiences.
Overall, learning about and creating art can be a fun and engaging way for children to develop a range of important skills, including creativity, critical thinking, visual literacy, and cultural awareness.

“My nanny took my 3 year old to Playday on a day there was no school and my daughter came home so excited about all of the projects she created. She also told me to tell her nanny she doesn't need to come with her when they go back today since she has her own special art teacher when she is there. The projects she brought home made it clear to me that the Playday staff was able to keep my daughter's focus and attention. She was SO PROUD of her work. And we just booked her 4th birthday party at Playday next month! Can't wait.”
