Grow creative confidence
At Busy Buddies Sensory & Art Playgroup, we embrace the process art approach, also known as “art play.” Art play prioritizes the experience of creating over the final product. By encouraging open-ended explorations with various materials and techniques, we help children develop their creative confidence. 
Foster age-level learning and developmental growth
Sensory play is a powerful tool for early childhood development, offering a range of benefits. Engaging in sensory activities stimulates a child's senses, promoting cognitive growth and enhancing motor skills. Through this exploration, children develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, and can learn to regulate emotions as well.
Encourage Socialization
Joining our playgroup offers a range of social benefits. Children will have the opportunity to interact with their peers, fostering essential social skills such as sharing, cooperation, and communication in a safe and supportive environment. For parents and caregivers, our playgroup serves as a supportive community where you can connect with others.
