With the arts, there is no "wrong way".  We provide meaningful opportunities for decision making, offering different mediums, methods and inspiration. We get to know your child and slowly create sessions to support their interests and profile. Progress looks different for different children and we celebrate those differences together, regularly and meaningfully.

​

It is understandable that the majority of our clients start off with a 1:1 to build a bond and trust.  Eventually curiosity will become a factor and we can introduce other young people to the space.  This is always at the pace of the individuals expressing choice and we will implement the opportunity for friendship

Independence grows at each individuals own pace, whilst we are mindful of capacity we also do not restrict people from having a go! From our imperfect attempts we learn and whilst we supervise what might be considered tricky things - you can take a while to sit back knowing that we are all on the same team, with the same goals.

We all worry about how our children are without us, so it makes sense for us to develop opportunities for them to assert independence in safe spaces. Life skills can include budgeting, practical tasks like painting fences and cooking. We promote positive futures by teaching basic food hygiene practices, gardening, manual handling, water and fire safety
