“Why do you pay so much money and spend so much time running around for your child to do some art and crafts?" Well we have a confession to make:
You don't pay for your child's artwork. So, if I am not, what do you pay for?
- You pay for the opportunity that your child can have and will have to make life-long friendships. - You pay for the chance that they may have amazing art teachers that will teach them that art is not just about painting and drawing but about life.
- You pay for your child to learn to be disciplined. - You pay for your child to learn to follow instructions. - You pay for your child to learn to work with others and to be a proud , supportive, kind and respectful team member.
- You pay for your child to learn to deal with disappointment, when they don't get that result that they hoped for, but still gets up and is determined to do their BEST next time...
- You pay for your child to learn to make and accomplish goals. - You pay for your child to learn that it takes hours and hours and hours and hours of hard work and practice to create a masterpiece, and that success does not happen overnight. - You pay so that your child can be in the center instead of in front of a screen...
We could go on but, to be short, you don't pay for the artwork; you pay for the opportunities that art provides your child to develop attributes that will serve them well throughout their life and give them the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what we have seen for many, many years, we think it is a great investment!
