School Programs

Due to the continued health crisis in North Carolina, we are not offering PAL at our Spirit Square location. Check back here or our social media pages for updates.

If you are interested in bringing PAL to your location, check out PAL On the Go!

The Preschool Arts Lab is a literacy-based art program where children actively participate in hands-on, open-ended art experiences with emphasis on creative inquiry. Talented and caring instructors will conduct one-hour classes (serving multiple classrooms a day) in visual arts and literacy. Each session begins with a reading of the selected book, followed by ‘open lab’ time: a time for children to actively engage in developmentally appropriate, process-oriented, exploratory, literature-based art activities. These types of activities establish school readiness, improve motor and sensory skills, develop socialization skills, encourage enjoyment of reading and inspire creativity.
