 4 week exploratory sensory program for babies ( 6-18 months ) on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Sundays from 10-11 am.
location: CAF Experiential learning program room 
Early childhood educators: Christina Pinarello (She/Her/Hers) or Ashley M. Chabot (She/Her/Hers)

Inspired by the ground-breaking artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, this program aims to bring some of the same irreverence and child-like spontaneity and vigour that made Basquiat world famous.

Age-appropriate materials and tools will be used for babies to safely explore their world on their terms. Freedom of movement and freedom to explore (where nothing is forbidden to touch or mouth) will provide babies with ample opportunities to gain valuable skills, both social, physical and emotional… in this popular program!

Please note: We cannot accommodate non-participating siblings.

About the educators:

Christina obtained her Early Childhood Educator diploma in her native Germany. It was there where she developed a deep understanding of play-based and child-led-learning. Fun, organised and full of ideas, Christina is driven to create a caring, fun learning environment that fortifies the child honouring benefits of open-ended play. FUN FACT: Baby Basquiats and Frida's Friends are amongst our most popular and beloved programs, created and developed by Christina in 2020.
Ashley is an Early Childhood Educator with over 10 years experience facilitating emergent, play-based curriculum and inclusive classroom practices, having acted as lead educator and resource consultant for various child care facilities prior to working with the Children's Art Factory. FUN FACT: After attending many of Christina's sessions with her daughter Audrey, and connecting over their shared love of setting-up wonder-filled environments for young children to explore, Ashley joined our team in the summer of 2023.
