The mission explains that the program uses specific language to encourage children to think independently and express their own ideas, presents projects and materials intentionally so children understand how to use them, and focuses on the creative process rather than the final product. According to the mission, the program aims to nurture internal validation and self-worth that carry into every part of life, well into adulthood. Community involvement includes hosting parties at studios and off-site, offering in-school programs and in-school residencies, and organizing events throughout the community, as well as Birthday Parties, Community Events, and School Enrichments in Clermont and creative classes, unforgettable parties, and inspiring community events in Coral Springs.
