Early Learning Experiences

Grow Their Creativity and Confidence

Let their imagination take them anywhere they need to go with arts-based early learning experiences at Lawrence Arts Center. We offer young children the ability to explore the arts and creativity through hands-on, engaging experiences.

Expressing creativity and imagination allows children to develop skills and grow an understanding of the world around them.

Our Facilities & Curriculum

Art-Based Early Learning Experiences

Through creative, hands-on learning experiences, children have the opportunity to explore the arts no matter their ability, developmental level, age, or background. The early childhood learning experiences at Lawrence Arts Center use a creative, arts-based teaching structure to enhance a child’s natural interest in learning through play. The arts allow children to think creatively, to build their own ideas, to solve problems in more than one way, and try new things.

Our environment creates an excellent foundation of early learning experiences as children move into the academic world and throughout life.

A Unique Environment For Arts

The arts- and play-based preschool and kindergarten are located in Lawrence at 940 New Hampshire St. We are equipped with everything we need to provide your child a safe, fun, and enriching environment.
