More About Our Beginnings!
Nothing is quite as exciting as young children fully engaged in learning new skills. That’s what education is all about! In 2002, building upon a love of education and a passion for art, Mary Rogers and Rosemarie Hartnett developed and tested an innovative comprehensive art education curriculum called Abrakadoodle. They were ready to expand Abrakadoodle programs in early 2003. The first program was offered through the McLean Project for the Arts. Unfortunately, many schools are being forced to cut back on art programs because of tight finances. This is disappointing because properly delivered art instruction is a way to stimulate young minds in important ways that go far beyond painting, designing or sculpting.
Abrakadoodle combines strong proven education practices and top quality art instruction. Abrakadoodle is based upon the belief that all children are naturally creative. With the right activities, material and guidance, the possibilities are endless! Abrakadoodle applies solid educational principles, great teaching practices, stimulating activities and high quality materials. Best of all, it’s FUN!
Today the Abrakadoodle curriculum has been tested and refined with the help of many talented people. Most importantly, Abrakadoodle is endorsed by those who matter most – Kids! Children around the world just love the program because it is enjoyable, builds upon their natural curiosity and lets them explore in imaginative ways. Most importantly, kids are encouraged to be creative and produce artwork that is unique while developing imagination, problem solving abilities and many more skills that will help them in the future.
In a world filled with uncertainty, all of us at Abrakadoodle are pleased to help children immerse themselves in creative pursuits filled with doodles and drawings, and squiggles and giggles.
