Creative Development of a Child: Art Classes and Educational Games

Developing Children’s Creative Abilities

Every child is born with enormous potential that needs to be nurtured and supported. Developing creativity in preschool age plays a special role, as it is through art and play that children learn to express emotions, build imagination, and gain self-confidence. At MY HORIZONS private kindergarten, creativity is an integral part of the educational process: here children experiment, imagine, and create their own little masterpieces every day. This makes learning not a dry process, but an exciting journey of discovery.

Art Classes and Creative Projects

At MY HORIZONS, art classes take many forms: drawing, sculpting, collage, music, dance, and theatrical performances. Such a wide range allows every child to find the area where they feel most confident. Through drawing, children learn not only how to use a brush but also how to express their emotions. Sculpting and collage help develop fine motor skills, while music and dance foster rhythm and a sense of harmony.

Special attention is given to creative projects. These may include joint art exhibitions, fairy-tale performances, or themed installations. Each child takes part according to their interests and abilities — some paint scenery, others recite poems, while others play characters on stage. In this way, children learn teamwork, creativity, and how to bring a project to completion.

Art activities also serve as a wonderful tool for developing speech and emotional intelligence. Children share their impressions, explain their drawings, or describe how they feel about the music. This helps them better understand themselves and express their thoughts freely.

Educational Games as the Foundation of Learning

Preschool age is a time when play is the main way children explore the world. That’s why at MY HORIZONS kindergarten, educational games are actively used to combine learning with fun. Children engage in logical board games, building sets, and role-playing scenarios that help them acquire new knowledge.

These games develop attention, memory, imagination, and communication skills. For example, when building a tower out of blocks, a child not only practices fine motor skills but also learns to cooperate and negotiate with peers. During board games, they practice counting, following rules, and waiting for their turn.

Equally important is that play reduces stress and creates a positive emotional background. Even complex tasks presented in the form of a game are perceived by children as easy and enjoyable. This fosters a positive attitude toward learning as a whole.

Interactive Learning Through Play

At MY HORIZONS kindergarten, interactive methods that combine play with educational tasks are widely used. For example, children learn colors, counting, or new English words by completing movement-based activities, singing songs, or using bright flashcards. This approach allows knowledge to be absorbed naturally and with joy.

Interactive classes are conducted in small groups, giving every child the chance to actively participate. They learn to ask questions, share ideas, and interact with teachers in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

What’s important is that interactive games not only develop intellectual abilities but also support socialization. Children learn to cooperate, listen to others, and share materials — building essential teamwork skills.

As a result, the combination of art classes, educational games, and interactive learning helps children at MY HORIZONS grow confident, creative, and ready to explore new horizons.
