"Expand on Learning" is highly appropriate for elementary-aged children enrolled in Therapeutic Arts Science & Growth Mindset (TASGM) because it reflects the natural curiosity and learning that occur during this stage of development. At a young age, children are constantly absorbing new information and building foundational skills in areas like creativity, critical thinking, and emotional awareness. TASGM nurtures this expansion by offering a range of activities that encourage exploration, imagination, and problem-solving through art and science.

Through therapeutic arts and a focus on growth mindset, children are empowered to stretch their abilities and approach learning as an exciting, continuous journey. Whether it's through painting, experimenting with materials, or practicing mindfulness, TASGM helps children build on what they know, fostering both intellectual and emotional growth. The term "Expand on Learning" perfectly captures the essence of this process, as it highlights the endless potential for children to grow in confidence, creativity, and understanding of the world around them.

The TASGM curriculum encourages youth to develop their own creative voice, help to build emotional intelligence and improving cognitive and motor skills. The true basis of our curriculum is for participants to have fun. As they are having fun they are improving cognitive and motor skills, while having a positive impact on cognitive and motor development. For example, practicing music can improve memory, attention, and coordination, while painting and drawing can help develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.Boosting self-esteem and confidence is vital at a young age. The arts and science can provide youth with opportunities to succeed and develop a sense of accomplishment, while satiating curiosity, which can help to boost their self-esteem and confidence. By expressing themselves creatively, youth can feel valued and appreciated, which can have a positive impact on their overall well-being.Our program encourages cultural awareness and appreciation. It provides an opportunity for youth to learn about and appreciate different cultures and artistic traditions. This exposure can help to promote cultural awareness and understanding, and foster a more diverse and inclusive society.Through the arts and science curriculum, youth can explore their emotions, thoughts and experiences while continuing to expand on learning.
