  • The Arts Alive! Creative Movement program is our most popular program.  Created in 1994 by Tina Sabuco, it is the original Arts Alive! program.  It is a thematic curriculum that integrates the expressive arts and multiple skills all into one class. 
  • Arts Alive! Music was birthed from our Creative Movement program. Our schools loved our classes so much that they requested we develop a curriculum that focused on music.  So we did!  We enlisted our in-house music expert, Stacey Hall, to use our Creative Movement program as a springboard in the creation of our music curriculum.  Stacey has been involved in music since the 6th grade.  She plays a variety of instruments, was in a women’s a cappella group and studied Musical Theatre in college.
  • Arts Alive! Yoga was created to bring the life-changing power of yoga and Arts Alive! together! Created by our Executive Director, Anissa Dwiggins, a certified yoga instructor who has been practicing yoga since 1998, it also uses the magic of the Arts Alive! philosophy.  Our yoga program is unlike any other! Using music and a theme, students are guided through a mind-body experience proven to benefit their future (and their present moment!).

Their imagination is what makes their experience magical! We stay in tune with each and every student. Our goal is to create an experience of success for every individual.

The Arts Alive! philosophy forms the basis for every educational experience we offer. We embrace the strengths of young children; harnessing their joy, imagination, and their love of the arts as fuel and inspiration to effectively educate. Through research and years of experience, we have perfected an amazing technique and curriculum that uses the magic of the arts to unlock the potential of the brain!
