what we do

We offer day camps during summer, winter breaks. as well as after-school programs and non-instructional day camps. Additionally we offer art parties that are perfect for your Birthday celebration.

At WACC, our art classes are a little different. Rather than focusing on making a perfect painting or sculpture, we care more about the fun and learning that happens while creating art. This means your child gets to experiment with colors, shapes, and materials, without worrying about making mistakes. It's all about enjoying the process of making art, discovering new ideas, and expressing themselves freely. In each class, we explore different art activities, from painting and drawing, to building with recycled materials and even a bit of sewing. No two classes are the same, which keeps it exciting and new for your little artist every time.

who we are

We are a passionate team of artists and educators who are all about inspiring and nurturing a love for art in young hearts. As a local family-run business, we deeply value our community and the transformative power of artistic expression. Our diverse art programs offer a spectrum of experiences that go beyond teaching techniques — we're sparking creativity and setting the foundation for a lifelong journey of artistry.

We're more than just an art centre — we're a community that fosters respect, responsibility, and the joy of learning. At WACC, we're not just teaching art, we're cultivating a passion for it. So join us on this incredible journey of creativity and self-discovery!

Our approach

At WACC, we firmly believe in art's transformative power. Art is not just about crafting beautiful objects; it's a conduit for nurturing creativity, building confidence, refining fine motor skills, and fostering problem-solving capabilities. These critical skills extend well beyond the art room into every aspect of life in our complex world.

Drawing inspiration from the renowned Reggio Emilia methodology, our educational approach is child-led and play-based. We view each child as a capable learner, and we act as guides, facilitating their discovery journey, rather than just transmitting knowledge.

Our teaching places the emphasis on 'process art,' where the journey of creativity is valued over the final product. This approach affords children the freedom to follow their curiosity, experiment, make mistakes, and learn— an experience that echoes real-life learning.

Following the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we consider the environment as the 'third teacher'. As such, our classes unfold in carefully curated spaces, where every chosen material serves not just an educational purpose but also adds aesthetic and sensory value. This thoughtfully crafted environment stimulates creativity and supports the learning process.

We are not just about teaching art—we are about helping children reach their full potential in an engaging and enriching environment. Join us in sparking curiosity, creativity, and confidence in your child!
