CNEW’s Art & Play Group provides a safe space for children to navigate their emotions, express themselves through creative means and build essential social-emotional skills
Weekly Activities That Nurture Growth and Imagination
Each week includes engaging activities like games, storytelling, hands-on art projects, gentle movement, and circle time rituals—all thoughtfully designed to meet children where they are developmentally and emotionally. From drawing and storytelling to role play and games, children get to explore their inner world in a safe, supportive group setting.
Learning continues at home!
And because we know learning doesn’t stop at the door, we provide take-home tools to help you continue the conversation at home—like feelings journals, affirmation cards, and creative worksheets.
Every feeling is welcome here, and every child deserves to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
