The Little Art School is in Downtown Bloomington and it's brand new! The physical space is unique as well as aesthetically pleasing. The teachers are well qualified, enthusiastic, and patient. Dr. Daniella Barroqueiro, Director of the school and Art Education Professor at ISU, is inviting homeschooling families to visit (as a group or individual family) to see the studio and talk about their goals, interests, and values and to describe what kind of art education they envision for their children. Children will explore various mediums, and will have the opportunity to express their own creativity and vision of the world, while learning artistic techniques and design concepts. What makes The Little Art School special is how they customize the art experience to the specific students in their classes. They also welcome the challenge of taking content from the homeschooling curriculum and building an art lesson around it. There will be open houses periodically, so parents should look for those announcements on their Facebook page or website. Please contact Dr. Barroqueiro to arrange a meeting and to discuss the possibilities of enriching art experiences for your children.

Every parent wants the best for their kids. It’s why development books, educational DVDs and parenting courses are so popular. But it’s all so overwhelming. So what works the best? Well, science says the foundation for a child’s cognitive growth is rooted in two key factors: a safe environment and learning through guided play at any age. Yes, play. This is how kids develop the skills that ultimately give them the courage to dive into new experiences. The fact is your child’s potential is in there. Sometimes you just need to add water. Goldfish Swim School was created by parents, for parents, with this goal in mind — to give kids the platform to build essential life skills that will help them make waves in life. We’ve created an inviting and safe place where kids overcome their fears, learn to swim, respect the water and have lots of fun while doing it. Our award-winning tropical environment and shiver-free pools are simply the fun backdrop for where kids do some serious growing and learning. So while we’re focused on the serious stuff, your family will be focused on the fun. It’s what we call The Science of SwimPlay®. It’s about momentum. Forward movement, growth. It’s about showing kids that they are something, will be something and, whether that’s the next president or a role in the school play, that something will be undeniably them. As parents, we know there’s no greater feeling than the pride that comes with witnessing your child accomplish new skills — that’s why we’re always celebrating at Goldfish. Because every little dose of achievement adds up to big self-esteem. And after all, life is one big pool. At Goldfish Swim School, we’re here to give kids the courage to dive in.
