By the time today’s kindergartner enters the workforce, most of the jobs that will be available, don’t even exist today. These jobs will require creativity and innovation, along with a strong ability to collaborate and communicate with people from varied and diverse backgrounds.

Additionally, budgets for the arts are often cut or eliminated. Creativity and innovation take a backseat to high stakes testing.

 

At Imaginarium, we believe that children’s best learning experiences come from the process of imagining and making. Hands-on learning provides kids with the opportunity that they need to expand their abilities creatively and intellectually.
