Animated Child is an inclusive and innovative enrichment center, for children ages 2-13, which encourages a child's natural curiosity, independence and creativity. We engage children in every element of intelligence to highlight their own unique way of learning. By exploring in what ways a child is smart versus how smart they are, children are empowered to recognize ability within themselves.
