AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO ART EDUCATION
Created by Arts & Mindset Educator and Dot Kids Founder, Julie Bevan.
Dot Kids' innovative approach to Art Education, isn't just about colours on a canvas; it's a catalyst for self-discovery, confidence and well-being.
By igniting a passion for creativity early on, Dot Kids is sowing seeds of innovation and resilience, nurturing a future where every child feels empowered to boldly embrace their individuality and make their mark on the world.
We are dedicated to increasing children's well-being, self-expression and confidence through the transformative power of art; a mission to inspire creativity and unlock the boundless potential within each child.
