Creative Play Residencies

​

A bit about the program

​Compass Creative Dramatics offers a week-long, action-packed program for the tiniest performers and explorers! 

We help lay foundations for cooperation, empathy, social skills, and creative art appreciation. Students as young as three can stretch creativity and bravery muscles through theatrical storytelling. The educators help students explore speech and motor skills, encourage social development, and spur physical and emotional self-expression through dramatic play.

Creative Play programs are designed for students who are within two years of each other; for instance, a program might be held for students who are 3-5 years old, or 4-6 years old. Within those parameters, Creative Play program age ranges can be customized to accommodate students as young as three or as old as third grade.

The week-long program culminates in an end-of-week showcase featuring songs, dances, and activities learned throughout the week!
​
  • 3K - 3rd grade (Must be limited to 3 year increments max, i.e. 3-5, 4-6, etc. Can be offered for a single age/grade)
  • Maximum 24 - 30 students, depending on specific age range
  • Available as half-day program only 
  • Available year-round
