Masters of Arts for Childhood

Creative learning path

The Arts are the foundation for the growth of the individual, a precious gift for an harmonious emotional-intellectual-cognitive development of the child; the more we offer him opportunities to act, to create, to learn, the greater we guarantee him his Constitutional right to Education.

Art involves every sense of the child, it allows the development of the mind, promotes the growth of skills, increases self-esteem, allows the discovery of one's talent and constitutes a true instrument of social integration.

Art offers children the optimal conditions to orient and enhance themselves, giving voice and life to the natural creative heritage that they already have. Masters of Art for Childhood is aimed at children aged 4 and 5, proposing a new educational paradigm focusing on the arts..
