Creative
Arts
Art and music
are of immeasurable benefit to the development of any youngster.
These activities not only encourage and develop all aspects of a
child's awareness; they also promote leisure skills that are essential
to a lifetime of personal fulfillment.
Our experience
has shown that art, music, visual perception and relaxation are
key components of a successful therapy program. While the concept
of "creativity" is often abstract and difficult to interpret, the
benefits of offering an opportunity for the child to express him
or herself are clearly valuable.
Through art
and music, the child can:
| |
Develop
problem-solving skills |
| |
Learn
to make independent choices |
| |
Discover
relaxation techniques |
| |
Exhibit
his or her unique personality |
| |
Build
self-confidence |
| |
Enjoy
the satisfaction that comes with completing a task |
Chileda's
Creative Arts program is tailored to identify each child's special
interests in the areas of music and rhythm, visual preferences for
colors or shapes and tactile choices. By exposing the child to a
wide variety of options, we help him discover the activities that
he prefers for relaxation and self-exploration. And, because art
and music are without rights or wrongs, the program is a source
of many successes and smiles.
