At PlayWithArt, we create meaningful artistic experiences where children explore materials, express their ideas, and grow through hands-on creativity.
PlayWithArt is a new creative program designed by Cintia Loustalet, Vanessa Lupi, and Nathalie van Gelder a collaboration born from years of experience in teaching, creating, and nurturing young minds through art and sensory exploration.
​
Creativity grows through curiosity, imagination, and joyful experimentation. Our classes invite children to explore, discover, and express themselves freely because every child is an artist when given the space to play.
Vision
We believe that every child is an artist when they are given time, space, and meaningful materials.
Our approach is inspired by Reggio Emilia, Montessori, Freinet, and Waldorf, valuing both process and product, imagination and craftsmanship.
We aim to create a space where creativity grows naturally and where children not only learn techniques but also develop confidence, autonomy, and a love for making.
