Head Start in the Arts!

You spoke and we listened!

Our Fine Arts Pre-School Program is now offering a four morning option in addition to our well established two mornings a week curriculum


What better way to start your child on a life time of learning by introducing a rich Arts Education? 

Many parents with concerns of preparing their child for full time kindergarten or those who have made the choice of not enrolling their child in full time kindergarten have come to us wanting more!
  More and more studies are showing the importance of Arts in education. Dr. Terry Bergeson, who led an initiative to include the arts in public education states,

 'Arts education not only enhances students' understanding of the world around them, but it also broadens their perspective on traditional academics.  The arts give us the creativity to express ourselves, while challenging our intellect.  The arts integrate life and learning for all students and are integral in the development of the whole person."
 

Our tried and true Pre-school program, "Childhood Expressions", has been designed by Jane Davis-Munro and Lynda Johnson, Pegasus Studios' co-founders. From Jane's background as an early childhood educator and dance specialist the curriculum has been designed and developed over the past 28 years in collaboration with Lynda's Early Childhood Art program. 

 Our curriculum

• supports young children's inborn creativity through various languages of self-expression
• rich educational modalities and theories have been incorporated to keep the program current, fresh and exciting  
• each child's unique perspective of their world is nurtured and respected
• incorporates literacy, nature, fine arts, music and dance
      

Magic happens every day while exploring the richness of the arts with young children. Pegasus Studios follows the philosophy of teaching the whole child, nurturing a love of discovery and sparking the imagination.  

• Parents can choose from 2 or 4 mornings per week
• Discounts offered for 4 mornings a week. 
• Because we feel strongly about Arts education for the young child and our community, Pegasus will offer two subsidized spaces to this program 
• Referral discounts for families committed in sharing the benefits of our programs with others.
