Instilling a love of learning and creativity

through introducing reading, music, discovery science, art & crafts and the growing popular language & performance arts, is what the ANG Mistress firmly believes in; an art of expressing each's individuality.

.

.

Not only it's part of preparing her child for his future social or curriculum challenges & development, it'll also inspire the child to become healthy, confident, productive and creative citizens.

.

Since Kiet's nursery years, the ANG Mistress has always made an effort to tag along all the theatres that her dear son attends with his school. Her objective: To be able to apprehend and explain the art to the child after each attendance.

.

Just like while watching a documentary, an adult needs stay beside to explain or elaborate more details to the child. Do not expect the child to understand on his own. After all, each individuals are the fruit of their parents' craft - of course all parents are not so perfect to start with themselves!

.
With more theatres and art performances catered to our young children in the local arts scene, it's a breeze for most parents now as the means to lean towards art becomes readily available.

Another production starting in Aug 09, another worthy play to look out for is "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" - Based on the classic fairy tale by Aesop, this play is a heart-warming and serves as a very good illustration to the children of why it’s important to tell the truth, and how one lie can make a world of difference.
