A younger child’s first creative class should be considered as a whole experience: the activities, the teacher, the group and the journey there. Enjoyment and suitability matter more than promises about future achievement.

Ask about the format

Short activities involving music, movement and stories can offer different ways to join in. Ask about session length, how parents are involved in a first visit and what to bring.

Let familiarity develop

Children do not all respond to a new activity in the same way. Talk to the teacher about what you notice and avoid comparing your child’s participation with someone else’s.
